For my first layout "My Happy Place"
This photo was taken in January on my birthday!
It has taken me a while, BUT, I think my family have finally realized that if they just
 look at the camera at first photo when I'm trying to get those family photos, then
 I am happy & I wont keep annoying them for more...  lol!
 
These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used...
 


  
I gave this 'Corner Archer' & a few 'ATC - hearts' a couple of coats of gesso....
 
 
I decided that I wanted  'ATC - hearts' to stand out a little more so, I inked them black...
 


 
 I inked a couple of the 'Groovy flowers' in black also & finished them off with a rhinestone!
 

'My Happy Place' chipboard title - I gave it a coat of gesso, then added a coat of t
texture paste & finished it off with a lightl spritz of some pink mist...  

 
 
 
My 2nd creation, another layout..
'Catching Waves'
 
These are the 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used...
 

I cut a 'Chain length' into smaller pieces & inked them dark brown...




Added a single coat of gesso to this bird...

 
I wanted to bring more attention to my two kids sitting on the rocks but didn't want to
 overpower the photo so! I gave a coat of gesso to this 'Doily Frame' 
 
 
I added a coat of gesso..  then a layer of texture paste to the 'Catching Waves' title, 
& finished it off with a blue & teal mists...
 


 
I really LOVE the detail to this 'Anchor' & didn't want to lose any of it, SO! I VERY
 lightly added just a little gesso & inked the edge with black..
 
 
That's it from me today! See you again next month....  :)
