A Home is not a home without a dog - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!
I am back today to share a layout of our furbabies!

 2Crafty Products used:

A home is not a home without a dog title
Paws and Heart Set
Little Pawprint Strip

I love the paws and heart border....so cute!  Perfect for the layout of Axel and Lydia!  I prepped with white gesso, then added white paint and allowed to dry.  I used a green gelato and rubbed it with my finger!

The paw prints I sprayed with a mixture of green mists to add the shimmer!

The title I simply painted white and painted the hearts with green!

"A Chat With Santa"By Di Garling

  Hi there everyone, Di Garling back with you again.

Today I have another Christmas layout to help inspire you
& naturally I have used some amazing pieces from the 2Crafty
Christmas range. 2Crafty has a massive range of Christmas
themed chippie pieces to choose from.

This layout features my gorgeous grandson when he was just a bub.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Holly Leaves
"A Chat With Santa" title
"Ruddy the Reindeer"
"Christmas Polaroid Frames"

So after firstly stencilling a few snowflakes onto my background

I then added some glitter to add to the whole festive vibe but it is

hard to see that in the photo.

Firstly I painted the chipboard title, "A Chat With Santa" & the

 "Christmas Polaroid Frame" with a coat of red acrylic paint.

Next up I got a really fine paint brush & with a steady hand,

I painted the little words, "Naughty or Nice" with a couple

of coats of white acrylic paint, alternatively you could also use a white gel pen.

I LOVE how this frame turned out !!

Next up I altered the "Ruddy" the reindeer with
some brown ink rubbed over him lightly followed by then

 using a fine paint brush & acrylic paints, I coloured his 
muzzle & scarf. I think he looks so cute!!

I really enjoy scrapping Christmas!!

I have added lots of lovely Christmas themed layers &
embellishments & flowers & then I finished off with just a 
few "Holly" chippie leaves which I coloured in gold.

Well thats all I have for you today & I do hope I have 

given you some inspiration & ideas for some Christmas

themed scrapbooking.

Snapshots By Charmane Sharp

 

I had four views from Rottnest Island so I made a collage to print them

smaller and created this layout to showcase all of them on one project.

Making the Stacked Filmstrips a feature I sprayed Lindys gang sprays

in shades of brown onto a sheet of transparency film. Gently heat dried

to get the textured look. then glued to the back of the Filmstrips which

had the same treatment. I love how pools of the spray dry darker for 

contrast and detail.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Seaweed set 1 & 2

Industrial Spring set

12x12 Stacked Filmstrips 

Anchor & Buoy set

Travel mini word set 1

Lovely close up of the Stacked Filmstrips detail. I chose snapshots from

 the Travel mini word set as my title. I sprayed Lindy's T-Bird Turquoise

 on it and C'est la Vie Cerise on the Industrial Springs below it.

Perfect embellishment for the boats in my photos chosen from the

Anchor & Buoys set. Sprayed with Ocean Breeze Blue. Dried and then

 sprayed with Down the Rabbit Hole. Sits beautifully amongst the flowers

and resin shells.

Added the longer Industrial Springs out from the flowers to draw

your eye over all four images. Added some Art Stones for texture.

My favourite Seaweed pieces sprayed with T-Bird Turquoise and Mad Hatter

Mint bringing the beach theme to life with the addition of Art Stones.

Hope you have enjoyed my beauty layout with four photos.

Until next time...

Altered Christmas Wreath by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share my first project for November. 
I have altered a Christmas Wreath that I picked up from Kmart.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Poinsettia Set

*Merry Christmas Title

*Holly Twig Branches

*Celebration Swirls

The wreath before I altered it.

I coloured the Poinsettia chippies with a mixture of Kaisercraft Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays and the edges I painted with Brush Leaf Interior Antique Gold Paint.  The Holly Twig Branch chippies I coloured with Kaisercraft Rose Gold Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.  The Celebration Swirl chippies have been coloured with Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine and the Merry Christmas chippie I coloured with Kaisercraft Gold Shimmer Spray.

To construct the wreath I added all my Poinsettia chippie pieces first and then added my paper blooms.

I then tucked in the Holly Twig Branch chippies amongst the Poinsettia chippies and paper blooms.  I kept some of them as is and some of them I cut into pieces.

I add the Merry Christmas chippie title along the bottom of the Wreath and finished if off by randomly dabbing on some gesso onto the Wreath, chippie pieces and paper blooms to give it a snow like effect.

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

In my Happy Place by Robin Schelin

 Hi Everyone. Welcome to November! This year is just zipping by. 

This is my first layout of the month. It's a happy layout, capturing the inquisitiveness of a child. I loved reading to my kids when they were little. It was a big deal at my house, and I'm really glad I was able to instill in them the love of reading. All my kids are avid readers to this day. 

In my Happy Place 

2Crafty Chipboard:

View Finder

Addy's Butterflies

In my Happy Place

All of the chipboard was first covered with White Gesso before altering.

I placed one of the View Finders on the right side of the photo. I painted it with Light Blue Acrylic Paint to play off the light blue in the flowers and the color of her jeans. 

I added three of the Addy's Butterflies to this layout painted with Provincial Blue Chalk Paint. I painted them this color to play off the darker blue color in the flowers and the little girl's jacket.

I painted the title, In my Happy Place, with White Adirondack Chalk Paint so it would really stand out and also play off the white of their shirts. I try to always choose the colors I alter the chipboard with to be colors that are in the photo. The paper too if I can. This paper was perfect for this photo!

Hope you like this and that I have inspired you to color coordinate your embellishments and background to be an extension of your photo. 

Thanks for stopping by, see you back again in a few weeks.

'Captured' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share a layout with you.

'Captured'

2Crafty products used:

 

 

'Brick Panel'

'Clock Face Discs'

'Filmstrips Small' 

'Captured Phrase Set'

 

 

 

For this layout, I have used one of the 
'Clock Face Discs'

that I have embossed in white,
 and tucked under the corner of my photo with some florals.  

 

 

I also used a couple of the 'Film Strips Small', 

that I finished in green and aqua colours to match my papers. 
I then tucked them under my photo. 

 

 

I used the 'Captured Phrase Set' for my title,

I left it raw as I felt it matched the 
warmth of the jetty wood in my photo. 

 

 

I also used the 'Brick Panel', 

which I have cut into pieces. 
I finished them in black and used them,
 tucked in and around my layout.  

 

 

I really love how this layout turned out, 
these are some of my favourite memories. 

 I hope that you like it too! 

 

Until next time,

 

Lisa
