2 Crafty Chipboard : Three Layouts PLUS A VIDEO TUTORIALWith a Touch of ChristmasBy Di Garling

"Christmas Baby"

Hi friends, thanks for calling by. Today I have some Christmas layouts to share & another new video. I hope you will take the time to watch it, & maybe even subscribe to my you tube channel while you are there so you don't miss anything. CLICK HERE TO VIEW http://youtu.be/KW2R0Kv-dvs

Naturally I have used some gorgeous 2Crafty chippies, starting off with one of their

new titles, "Christmas Baby". So appropriate don't you think?

2Crafty Products Used..

Frame - Yvettes
"Christmas Baby" - Title
Festive Branch
Stars

All of the chippie pieces except the word, were simply heat embossed using

gold embossing powder as you would have seen in the video. Just so easy

yet so effective & it gives the layout a real richness.

I just love this new "Festive Branch".

The "Yvette's Frame" was just the perfect piece to frame my photo.

This new "Christmas Baby" title was firstly coated with gesso, followed by

a coat of "Silks paint in the colour Carmen", then finished off with a wipe of

Viva Inka Gold Paste.

And lastly a few chippie stars for good measure.

"Christmas Cutie"

I adore this pic of my Grandaughter Mia in her Santa hat.

I took this photo last Sunday & I had it scrapped on Monday!!!

Christmas Cuties - Title

Christmas Decorative Ornament Borders

Stars - Multi Pack

2014's Pack

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars Multi Pack

I cut the word cuties down & made it just cutie.

All the chippie pieces were firstly given a coat of gesso. Next up both the

title & the 2014 date were coloured up with Barn Door Distress Ink & when dry

I added some Stickles for a sparkly finish. Shame the sparkle doesn't show up here.

This is the new "Christmas Ornament Decorative Border".

After firstly giving it a coat of gesso I then coloured it using my Gelatos &

blended the colour with a little water & my finger. When dry I dabbed on

some pale pink Stickles which unfortunately doesn't show in the photos!!!

The 2014 date was treated the same as the title.

All the stars where finished exactly the same as the border.

"A Moment to Treasure"

This last layout I created for "The Scrapbook Store.
I love this photo that was taken last year at my youngest sons wedding
of both my sons, hubby & myself & of course my beautiful daughter in law (the bride).
