Double Trouble - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
Laura back today to share another masculine layout I created of our sons!

2Crafty Products used:

Double Trouble
Tickets
View Finder
Moroccan Bits
6" Circle Revolution Frame
Aged Film Strip
Chevron Bits
Page Tab Set

I primed all the chipboard with clear gesso including the center section of the revolution frames.

I then covered the chipboard with a mix of lumberjack plaid, rustic wilderness, and scorched timber distress inks that I sprayed with water then allowed to dry naturally.  I inked the outer edges of each piece with the scorched timber ink also

I wanted to use the highlights of red from the awesome papers because Ty's bike he built was red and I love the highlights it provided and it made the title stand out.

A Glimpse of youLaura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
Laura back today to share my next layout for my husbands album.
  This is my hubby when he was little.

2Crafty Products used;

Moroccan Bits 

A Glimpse of You

Ginny's Flourish Set

Circle Stack

I painted all the chipboard white to coordinate with the papers but still stand out.  I layered elements under my title using different dimensions to add visual interest.

I tucked in the flourishes and Moroccan bits with other elements.

 I used one of the circles from the stack as a frame element.

"My Gorgeous Sunflower" by Amy Voorthuis

  Goodmorning sweet 2Crafty friends, 

Today is my turn to show you some inspiration on this amazing blog. For this post I made another layout this time with my first paper love "Graphic 45" papers. I used the pretty French Country & Olde Curiosity Shoppe collections with all amazing 2Crafty chipboard pieces. I used a picture of our beautiful Abbey amoung some pretty flowers made last year. 

My Gorgeous Sunflower: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fine Word Set 3
6" Clock Faces
Moroccan Bits
Line Words - Summer
ATC Word Banner Set 1
Lattice Leaves

Firstly I added two layers of gesso on al my chipboard pieces then on the clockfaces & the line word "sun" I used some rustic white sand paint which has a gruncy texture. Then I used several acrylic paints and randomly added that on the same pieces. 

The leaves are first painted with green acrylic paint and when that was all dry I added the same rustic cream/white sand paint and dabbed it on different spots on the leaves. The ATC banner was only treated with some white matte wax. The Moroccan bits are dabbed with some black acrylic paint & gesso. 

 Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like to see more of my work please visit here:

'Girly Grunge' With Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here on the blog today to share a layout with you.

2Crafty Chipboard Products used:

For this layout, I have used lots of the 'Moroccan Bits',

that I have left raw and cut into pieces to use in and around my layers. 

I have also used one of the hinges from the 'Hinges Pack',

that I have first painted a nice coat of gesso and then used a watercolour effect on.

I quite like how it turned out.

I have also used one of the 'Clock Face Discs',

that I have given the same finish as the hinge. 

I hope that you like what I have created this time around!

I hope you all have a wonderful christmas!

Until next time!

Lisa

It's Lisa on the blog today with a layout to share with you.

I have used a photo of my daughter and her bestie!

"Create Your Own Sunshine"

2Crafty Chipboard used:

       

For this layout I have used some of the gorgeous

  'Moroccan Bits', 

that I have embossed white,cut up and tucked into my layers.

I have also used one of the 'Flower Medallions',

also embossed in white. 

I have also used one of the 'Flourish Adornment Set 4',

embossed in white, in among my flower cluster. 

Love how it pops on the dark wood background.

I have built a little cluster on the other side of my page.

For my title, I have used one of the '6 x 4 Phrase Sticks Set 5',

which I have left raw because I like how the text looks when unfinished. 

I'm loving the white of the chipboard with the dark rich colours of the papers.

I hope you like it too!

Until next time!

Album - Alice in Wonderland By Elena Martynova

Hello! lovely creative friends!

 Today I'd like to share with you my new inspiration -

 a mixed media album with amazing 2Crfaty products!

I've been creating this album for a whole year. 

Now with gusto making several pages at once, then putting it off for several months. 

Originally there were supposed to be five spreads but 

I had a lot of paper left, so I made two more.

I also had to redo the binding, which further increased the album's creation time.

There were no thoughts at all about the cover. I kept sorting through

 the pieces of fabric and suede... but there was nothing suitable. 

I decided to use linen with gray stripes, but it had to be combined with 

something and so successfully came a piece of scarlet linen. 

I wrapped them around the ends of the pages, the spine, and added them to the front cover.

Size 26x26 cm, spine thickness 9 cm

First, I stamped the fabric on the cover and applied crackle paste through a stencil.

Chipboard covered with black embossing powder.

Layered pieces of paper, lace and cutting.

Decorated with flower metal door handle and toppings: with micro beads and glitter.

I invite you to view the album review with all the secrets

 and openers, and then photos of the pages.

I painted chipboards with metallic colors by the Fabrika Decoru.

On the cover and this spread I used these 

2Crafty Chipboard pieces....

Clock Face Discs

Frame Ingrid's

Formal Flourish 3

Flourish Adornment Set 6

 

I like the second spread very much due to the contrasting 

combination of pink and blue paper. Very beautiful contrast.

Pages were decorated with a Moroccan Bits chippies.

The third spread is in pink and beige colors. 

I added a bit of contrast by coloring the chipboard in blue shades.

On these spread here are the chippies:

Moroccan Bits

Steampunk Collage 

Checkerboard Panel

 

The fourth spread  is also my favorite. 

Mainly due to how well the chipboard fit in here.

This is how the inside of the page is decorated

an Elegant Flourishes chippie and a bit of stamping underneath.

 

The large dial is only half-glued to the page.

This spread is the richest on the chipboards,
 I made a separate collage for it.

Clock Face Discs

6" Clock Face Frames

Key Set Mini's

Elegant Flourishes

 

The fifth spread, which should have been the last.

It looks unusual due to the diamond-openers.

I'm just in love in this chip frame Lucy's Flourish with curls  :)))

The sixth spread was very rich due to the paper prints.

I don't really like it, but it's here unusual triangular opening pages.

These chips were used in the fifth and sixth spreads

Element Set 3

Frame Lucy's Flourish

Ornate Buckles 

Steampunk Collage

 

And finally the final seventh spread.

 

Here are the chips on this spread

Flourish Adornment Set 6

Tahnya's 6" Border

Flower Medallions

Well, that's probably all I wanted to show you today.
