Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Bulldog Clip Set
11" Circle Revolution Frames
Textured Tile Bits

All the chipboard pieces but the phrase "You Colour My World" are altered with black gesso. Then I used two matt waxes patina green & old white. I really love this colour combination teal & yellow it makes me happy. 

The phrase "You Colour My World" is altered with white gesso and some of my aqua/ alcohol twin markers. I just loved making this layout very much hope I inspired you to take out your 2Crafty Chipboard pieces.

World Traveller by Robin Schelin

Hi everybody, welcome to the blog. Glad you stopped by.

 My dad and ex husband were in the military, so I did a bit of globe hopping back in the day. Nothing glamorous like this chickie, that's for sure, but I did get to see some amazing places. 

These chipboard pieces worked perfectly with these photos. You can always count on 2Crafty to have the right pieces for any theme!

World  Traveller

Beautiful 2Crafty used:

World Globe

Cherri's Border

Fine Flower Adornment Set 1

World Traveller

I only used Black Gesso on the chipboard this time since everything was altered in darker colors.

Ok, starting with this fabulous World Globe. This piece is so detailed, I love it! First I covered the whole thing with Black Gesso. Then I mixed up Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna and covered the land areas with a very thick application. I wanted to give it a topographical dimensional look. It's not topographically  correct, of course, because I am not a topographer. Ha! Big words there! Anyway, I got enough raised areas that you get the idea.

I also cut a leaf off the Fine Flower Adornment Set 1 and placed it next to the globe. This was just painted with Black Gesso.

I used Cherri's Border to create separation between the light and dark paper. I think it adds more interest this way than just leaving it plain.  This was simply painted with Black Gesso. Easy.

The title, World Traveller, was perfect with these photos. Couldn't have asked for anything better. 'World' was painted with Black Gesso and 'Traveller' was painted with the same mix of paint as the globe. 

 I added the flower part of the Fine Flower Adornment Set 1 next to the leaves and underneath the flowers to bring interest and balance to the bottom of the layout. As with all the black on the chipboard, this was also painted only with Black Gesso.

Hope you like this traveling layout. I had fun creating it. A little bit different from my usual stuff, but it's good to try different things once in a while. Keeps the mind sharp!

Until next time

Priceless Memory by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for August. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Corner Whispy Vines

*Mini Title Stick Set 5

*Priceless Memory Title

*Frame Messy Squares 6"

I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Nature's Haven' Collection to create the base for my layout.  

I first gave all my chippie pieces a couple of coats of gesso.  Once dry I mixed some Pink Heidi Swapp Color Shine with some more gesso and painted it onto the Messy Square chippie.  I did the same with the Corner Whispy Vine chippies but instead used Citron Heidi Swapp Color Shine to colour them.  I also randomly added a little Pink/gesso mix to the the Corner Whispy Vine Chippies.  For the Priceless Memory Title chippie I added the Pink/gesso mix to it and once dry I added another coat of gesso over top.

I added the Messy Square Frame chippie to my photo attaching it on an angle and then added it to my base page.  I added a Corner Whispy Vine chippie to each side of my photo.  Embellished around my photo with lots of paper blooms and finished off my layout by adding the Priceless Memory Title chippie and a couple of smaller chippie Titles from the Mini Title Stick Set 5.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Layout.
  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Just Me"Layout By Di Garling

Hello there 2Crafty fans. Thanks so much for calling by the blog today.

I have done another layout to share with you and it has 

 a lovely “shabby chic” vibe.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

"Just Me" - title

Frame Bracket Borders Set (2)

Corner Mini Hannah Corner

To start things off I have used one of the many many titles that 2Crafty make,

“Just Me”. I thought it was perfect for this layout.

To start with, as always, I have given all the chipboard I used with

two coats of white acrylic paint before doing a random sponging on

of some Versa Ink. It was a perfect colour match to the papers.

Next up I started work on these gorgeous little “Bracket Border Frames”

which I have doubled up and used two of them to highlight my photos.

These come in a set of four pieces and I loved how they looked paired up together

& offset. I then used some “Prima Metallique Paint” in this lovely soft shade of 

pink, & again I just sponged it on quite randomly to create a very soft look.

The last chipboard piece I used on my layout was one of the 

“Mini Hannah Corners” here in the bottom right hand corner.

I felt my layout needed it to help balance everything else on the page

& the chipboard does that perfectly !!

 

Really happy how this layout turned out and super 

happy with my chipboard choice.

They are just the icing on the cake !!

 Lots to see on this one and I do hope it has inspired

you just a little. See you back here again in a week or 

two with some more inspiration. 

Until next time…

Memories by Robin Schelin

 Hi Everyone. Thanks for dropping by today. 

I'm sharing a simple layout about a summer day. Just sitting in a field of daisies. What could be more relaxing. I was in a lazy fame of mind when I created this. Something simple, no stress. Remembering times as a child when I didn't have worry in the world! I miss those times.

 Memories 

2Crafty Chipboard used:

Grid Panel

Memories Script Title

Old Fence

I used Gesso to prime all the chipboard. My go-to primer medium.

At the top of the layout I cut a piece off of the Grid Panel and tucked it in. I wanted to add a vertical element to the composition. I painted it with a mix of Unbleached Titanium and Parchment Acrylic Paint to match the color of her dress.

I love the Old Fence. Not only does it look old in its raw state, but it alters up wonderfully to look, well, old! I cut it in half and placed it at both sides of the photo.

Here's the other side of the photo with the fence. I painted it first with Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint. Then painted it with Deco Art Weathered Wood Crackling Medium. When that was dry I painted over that with a mix of Burnt Umber and Unbleached Titanium Acrylic Paint. And like magic, I got an old fence!

I used the title Memories because this reminds me of times gone by in my own childhood. I have lived in the country before and have spent my fair share amount of time in fields of flowers. (Although I was usually covered in dirt from digging them up!) I painted the title combining Chrome Oxide, Yellow Ochre and Unbleached Titanium. 

Then beneath the title, I added another piece of the Grid Panel, again adding the vertical element to balance with the top.

Hope you like this and that it has inspired you to reflect on your own childhood and scrap layouts that take you back in time. Good memories.

See you next time

"Summer Days" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.

How great of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my first layout for the month of August. I am so glad I have my mojo back I bought a lot of papers lately which I didn't need too, since I have lots of papers lol... but I know every scrapbooker & mixed media artist wants to have the newest lines if can. This layout is also a summery one with some of the newest prima papers and a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. 
Enjoy my post....

Summer Days: 

Beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Fine Stem Frames 
Seagulls
Palm Leaves Set
Summer Days
Mini Word Set 2
Flourish Set 5
Seaweed Set
Seashells Set 2

All the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are treated with my big pot of white gesso. Then I used a couple of my aqua/alcohol twin markers for all my pieces but the word "adore" on that one I used some white embossing powder. 

The design I did for this layout is one of my own I made a couple of years back when I was in the 49 and Market design team. I sometimes love to look at my old scrapbook layout to get inspired from but not only mine but all creative souls there are in this industry. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....
