My favourite four layouts of 2025
By Charmane Sharp

What a hard decision to choose four favourites. So I picked these

all for different reasons. Some the composition, the memories, or

the how the chipboard transformed my layout. It shows how choosing

different 2Crafty chipboard brings out various creativity styles as none

of the above layouts are the same.

“A Christmas To Remember”
Mixed Media Layout
By Di Garling

Well hello there, thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family

& friends & that Santa was good to you.

No doubt you have taken lots & lots of photos over this
Christmas season so I have just one last Christmas layout
to help inspire you to get some of those photos scrapped !!!

2Crafty Chipboard Used….

Stars Border

Holly Vine Corners

Messy Frame 6” Set

A Christmas to Remember - title

filmstrips - Tiny

After firstly creating & stencilled background & adding lots of glitter

to it, although that is not easy to see in a photo, I then did some background

stamping & then set to work customising my chipboard pieces.

The chipboard "title" & the little "Stars"were just given
a couple of coats of red acrylic paint. Too easy.

I then added some "Glossy Accents" to make the stars really
shiney & finished them off by brushing a little
white gesso over them.

Next up I used the middle sized frame from the

"Messy Frame Set"

to frame my photos & help draw the eye.

I basecoated these in white acrylic paint, dried them off before

wiping them over with a brown Distress Ink Pad & giving a tiny

spray of water which makes the ink runny & patchy & also

waters the colour down too. Always a good shabby technique.

I did the same technique on the little

"Filmstrip" at the top of the page too.

Lastly I cut up one of the "Holly Vine Corners", to use at the right

side of my photo. I painted it in a lovely green watercolour paint

& then gave it a light spray of water to make the watercolour

paint a bit runny. This gives it a nice shabby vibe.

Well thats all I have for you today.

I do hope you like it.

Until next time...

"Waiting for Santa"
Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Christmas is fast approaching.

On this occasion, I present to you my second inspiration from this month of December. A Christmas-themed layout, illustrated by a photo of my grandson Milan who will celebrate his very first Christmas.

With magnificent chipboards including this model "bauble-deer-frame".

"Waiting for Santa"

The chipboard used:

For this layout, I chose a white watercolor paper background, which I then decorated with transfer rubons. As usual, I first apply a layer of white gesso on each chipboard. I customize the "bauble-deer-frame" ball with printed paper, then I lightly color the edges with red ink. I particularly appreciate its design.

I also apply rub-on transfers on the chipboard 'fir-xmas-tree'. As the fir is wide, their use does not pose any difficulty. I found it interesting to stick over the chipboard 'retro-xmas-tree', which I had previously decorated with Distress Oxide inks 'vintage photo' and 'antique linen'. Now that I see it, I am of the opinion that I should have raised it.
