Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful Layout by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!  

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for August a Layout.

"Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful" 

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful

*Corner Geneive

*Doodle Frames

*Mini Title Stick Set 3

I coloured the Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful, Corner Geneive and Mini Title Stick Set 3 Chipboard with Dylusions paint and while it was still wet I sprinkled some fine glitter over each piece.   I kept the Doodle Frames Chipboard raw for this layout.

I added my photo to the background page, then embellished the page with lots of fussy cut elements and flowers.  I tucked the Corner Geneive Chipboard in between the flower clusters on the top right and bottom left of the page.

I cut the raw Doodle Frame Chipboard in half placed one piece at the top of the top right and the other to the bottom left of my photo.  To finish I added the Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful Chipboard title to the bottom left of the page.

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

November Inspiration By Kareen Dion

Hello 2Crafty fans!

So it's my turn this month to present you my inspiration.

November already! As it's almost winter here in Canada, it's that the time 

of the year where we begin to think about Christmas...but I'm so not ready yet!

So today, I'll show you a sunny creation and a winter creation! 

 **Friends**

For my first layout, I wanted to have a sunny page.

I chose a picture of a friend of mine with myself. 

I used the Palm Leaves Set embossing with white powder.

I also used Squiggle Border embossing with a soft pink powder. I love this border,

it enhances the layout perfectly! And for the title, I used the word friends from the

Arrow Word Set 2, & I also embossed it with white embossing powder.

Some close-ups :

**Magical**

For my second layout, I chose a more wintery picture.
I have worked with red and turquoise colors here, I love them together!

On the background I used the Mini Bubble Square with embossing powder.
With red embossing powder, I also used the Corner Geneive behind my picture and a flair.
I added the perfect Linear Snowflakes and finished with the magical title from Fine Word Set 2.

October Inspiration Projects With Jaya Raghuvanshi

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Jaya here today and I have two projects to share with you all. 

My first project is this mixed media canvas. 

"Live Everyday With Intention"

October is the Breast Cancer awareness month and my canvas is dedicated
to this cause. I chose this theme as I believe how living everyday with intention
can increase our levels of happiness and fulfillment.

Some close ups-

I applied some black gesso on the flower doily chipboard and added some glitter on it. 

I cut the title chippie in two, & covered it with white gesso and used it on my canvas.

My second creation is this soft layout with pastel hues.

2Crafty chipboard is sponsoring the CSI Case file 215 for the month and
me along with some of my Co-DT members guest designed there. 

Here is my interpretation of this casefile.

"A Wish Come True"

A few close ups-

 I covered all my chippie pieces in white gesso and then colored them using
chalk paints and watercolors to give some wonderful looks. 

I love the ombre look on the leafy shrub set chippies.

September Layouts by Jessika Lundman

"Perfection"

Jessika here with some inspirations for September.
Today I have two layouts featuring two of my favorite photos :)

This first layout is about my two sons. The photo is taken at my younger
 sisters wedding and I just love how small and distinguished they look.

I wanted to make something a bit dressed up to match their outfits. So I
went with gold and grey as my main colors.

All of the chipboards are sprayed with Color Bloom gold. The chipboards take color so well!

The little circle strings are a cut up chipboard.
Originally there was hearts at the end of them. 

The background is drawn with  pencils and then accented with bling, rub ons and
 some splatter (I cheated with the splatter and used a pen instead of a brush so I
could get the little dots exactly where I wanted them :) )

"Adventure"

I finally got my summer photos printed out and I have really been longing to scrap my
 trip to Paris. I love this photo of the Eiffel Tower by night, but I think I love the
Eiffel chipboard even more. Just look at it! It is so beautiful with all the little details,
 such an exquisite piece of chipboard.

I used Faber Castell gouache paint to color the chipboard pieces. Blue, white and red
 to match the french flag. The tower I painted black because I really wanted it to
stand out on the layout.

I thought the mustache paper in the background really felt French so I had to use it :)
I also used a bunch of stickers and then tied it all together with splashes and stamps.

September Layouts With Jaya Raghuvanshi

  Hello everyone! It's Jaya here and today & I have a few of my pages to share with you all.
"Cherish"

I created this vintage page using some of the very gorgeous chippes. I tried to give the  Clock Frame and Corner Geneive chippies a vintage look by first applying black  heavy gesso and randomly sprinkling gold embossing powder on them and heat  embossing. I love the way it turned it.  

  The Corner Genieve chipboard has been cut into two halves and used around the picture. I love to do this as I feel it helps me create a more dense cluster with better continuity and flow.

The Vintage Clock Hands have been inked with Chalk ink and then I used some
 embossing enamel on it to give a little texture.

Some close ups-

 

 I used some texture spray on my Title chipboard to give it some texture. I applied some
 gesso to the Bubble Grid Panel and then inked it with chalk ink in pink. I applied 
gesso on the Mini Flourish Bits and sprayed them with a green mist
