Adorable by Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
Laura here to share another layout I created using baby photos of our youngest son!

Adorable

2Crafty Products used;

Circle Dot Frame

Adorable

Photo Adornment - Decorative Rod Set 2

Mini Flourish Bits

I love the colors of the papers so I used the same colors on the chipboard. 
 I inked the Decorative Rod set with brown distress ink.

I ticked one of the circle dot frames under the photo to highlight the photo.

I painted the flourishes yellow and I cut one of the smaller circle dot frames in half and
 placed them on the side and on the top of the layout in clusters.

I LOVE the script tile and wanted it to stand out a bit so I used cardboard to add dimension
 the hot air balloon then adhered the title to it.

Thanks for stopping by

Christmas Wishes Easel Cards by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for September.  I have created a set of Christmas Cards. 

"Christmas Wishes Easel Cards"

2 Craft Chipboard Used:

*Engraved Baubles

*Crystal Snowflakes

*Lacey Border Set 1

I created each of my card bases using the beautiful Uniquely Creative Christmas Wishes Collection.
  I used Silver Leaf Paint to colour the Engraved Bauble chippies pieces and once dry I added
 some soft pink paint to the bows.

  I used Colour Blast Blush Colour Paste to colour the
 Crystal Snowflakes & Lacey Border chippies.  Once the Snowflakes & Lacey Border were
 dry I randomly dabbed on some of the silver leaf paint over them.  To construct each
of the cards I added a Engrave Bauble to each and then embellished them with assorted
 section of the easel cards.  I then added some of the Crystal Snowflake chippies to
 each of the cards.

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today.

 I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Wishes Easel Cards. 

Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

This GIRL ~ by Robin Schelin

 Hi everybody! So glad you stopped by the blog today.

This layout is waaaay out of my comfort zone with all this color! But it's good to try new things.
This layout was inspired by the colors in the photo. I drew on every color in the photo
 and altered the chipboard accordingly. Hope you like it!

"this GIRL"

2Crafty chippies I used:

Textured Tile Bits

Frame Doodled

this GIRL

All the chipboard was first painted with white Gesso to make sure I got true colors.

Starting at the top is one of the Textured Tile Bits. I used them all around the photo to bring all the attention to the photo. One side of the photo pink to match the background color in the photo, and the other blue to match her sweater. I painted the pink side with Rose Pink Acrylic Paint.

Here also you can see the top of the Frame Doodled. Love this frame! Love the whimsical feel it gives this layout. I painted it with Antique from Prima's Shimmering Lights Watercolor Set. I used this color to match the splotches of color on the background paper.

Here I started with the blue, carrying it down the right side of the photo.
I painted it with Turquoise Deep Acrylic Paint.

More of the blue at the bottom right of the layout.

Here on the left I finished off the Textured Tile Bits with the pink. 

The title, this GIRL, was simply painted with White Acrylic Paint.
With all the color on this layout I wanted the title to pop, so white was the way to go.

Hope I inspired you to use bright colors on your chippies. I'm glad I did!

See you soon.....xx

“My Beautiful Girl”By Di Garling

Well hi there & hello, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another layout to share with you & 

it features some of our NEW pieces of our favourite

2Crafty Chipboard !!

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Grungy Splatter Bits

"My Beautiful Girl" - title

PLUS

I used a couple of MINI words "LOVE' & "SWEET"

that they custom made up especially for me.

It is sooo great that they are able to do this

for their customers.

Both the title & the MINI words were painted in some

  black acrylic paint to make them really pop off the page.

That is the perfect title for my photos too.

Those gorgeous little "Grungy Bits" come

pre cut for you, (makes it sooo easy) I finished them off 

with a matching paint & poked them in here & there.

I was really happy how lovely this NEW "Grungy Bits"
chippie looked when added to my layout. 
They just finished it off perfectly. 💗

Be sure to check out all the NEW chipboard

pieces over on the website. I especially love

all the NEW titles & I am sure you will too.

I will be releasing this layout as a KIT.

Merry & Joy Altered Collage Frame By Tania Ridgwell

Hello there! 

Just popping in today to share a bonus DT project I created for September.   I have altered this Collage Frame. 

"Merry & Joy Collage Frame"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Christmas Cluster

*Christmas Lacey Bauble Set

*Christmas Mini Word Set 2

*Holly Twig Branches

I have used the gorgeous new Mintay Merry & Joy Christmas Collection to decorate each of the inside photo frame panels.

I coloured the Christmas Cluster and Christmas Mini Word Set 2 chippies with Silver leaf paint.  The 

Christmas Lacey Bauble chippies were coloured with Heidi Swapp color shine and once dry I roughly dabbed on some of the Silver Leaf Paint.  Lastly I coloured the Holly Twig Branch chippies with Envy Colourblast Colour Paste and once they were dry I also randomly dabbed on some Silver Leaf Paint.

I decorated the collage framed by adding fussy cut elements and lots of paper blooms. 

I added the Christmas Cluster to the top photo panel and then tucked in the Christmas Lacey Baubles  and Holly Twig Branch chippies amongst the fussy cut elements and paper blooms.  I added some words from the Christmas Mini Word Set 2 to a few of the photo panels.

To finish off my frame I randomly sponged on some gesso on the frame and to the flowers, fussy cut elements and chippies to give it a snow like effect.

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

Time of my Life By Charmane Sharp

This was a magical destination on a boat trip from Krabi Thailand called Hong

 Island. The water was stunning and we loved our time there. So a beachy out of

this world layout was called for. Alchemy of Art papers were perfect.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Fishing net bits

Seaweed set 1

Anchors & Buoys 

Title- Time of my Life

After a coat of Gesso as always, I painted the Fishing net bits with Finnabair

 Stormy Ocean using a sponge so it looked aged. The Anchor was sprinkled with

Distress Glaze in Hickory Smoke and Lost Shadow so there wasn't a complete

coverage to give the aged look to also. Finished with some cord I platted.

The Ship's Wheel from the Anchor & Buoy set was coloured with Antique

Linen Distress Glaze and tucked under the Seahorse.

One set of Seaweed gave me two pieces for each side of my photo.

I love the mixed media look of my seaweed clusters mixed with fussy cutting,

Diecuts and completed with the chipboard Seaweed in pops of colour. I used

 Distress Glazes Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Speckled Egg

 adjusting the amounts with my fingers to create dak and light shading. Love the

gloss finish against the other elements.

What a perfect title for a wonderful day at sea. I painted it with Finnabair

 Jade Stone and Mermaid Sparkle for a little shine but making it different

from the Glazed pieces to stand out on its own.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this post and see how layering different elements

creates great contrast and really brings out the ocean vibe. Glazes give an amazing

finish to the 2Crafty Chipboard. Purchase your beach chipboard at 2crafty.com.au

Until next time...
