For Those Who Dare to Dream with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!
It's here today to share some more vintage inspiration with you.
I have another page from my Grandfather's Album to share.

2Crafty Products used:

For this page, I have used some of my Grandfather's Air Force photos.

I have used some of the 'Airplanes',

making them travel around the globe :)

I have also used one of the 'Pen Nibs' and a photo tab and 

bookplate from the 'Corners & Name Plates' set. 

I have left all of my chipboard raw to match the warm colours of the papers.

I have also used some of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

layered with some of the paper elements on my page. 

I am really loving how this album is coming together.

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time!

Lisa

FUN - Shaker Mini AlbumWith Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

My second project this month is a shaker mini album, circular in shape using
 two very pretty 2crafty chipboard pieces - Fun Disc and Play disc to mak
e the front cover and back covers of the album.

 For the covers both front and back, the chipboard was first coated with white gesso and then using Colourarte Silks, painted an ombre effect. Each layer of paint was air dried and then painted on again for about 4 layers. After the paint was completely dry, it was assembled into a shaker disc.

 To allow for the sequins to move easily, I've used two layers of foam tape between the chipboard disc and pattern paper. I punched a hole through a circular piece of foam tape and wedged it between the acetate and pattern paper. On top of the acetate is a hole saver so that the circular foam tape wont be seen. This is so that the sequins wouldn't fall off through the eyelet hole. 

I know everyone will want to remove the covers and give them a shake, so Ive used ribbons to hold the pages together making it easy to flip through as well. The album follows the format of photo page followed by journaling on the backside. These close ups were taken before the album was assembled, so each page and matching journaling panel could be captured in one frame. 

This page and photograph are my favorite from the album so far. The bottom most layer of 
chipboard is a Number Panel cut in two and tucked underneath layers of pattern paper.

 Next, Ive cut a piece from the left over negative of the Polaroid Assortment Frames
 and covered it with pattern paper(green with blue stars). Another such piece has been
 used on the matching journaling panel of this page. 

Finally, a piece from Airplanes was coloured red with an ink pad and
 embossed with clear embossing powder.

The 6" sea life frame set was coated with white gesso and painted on with acrylic paints.

For the fish, a tiny bit of neon orange paint was blended with the yellow paint. 

I've also tucked in small pieces of Fishing Net Bits on either side of the photo panel.
 For the journaling page, Ive added a turtle from the Sea Creatures chipboard set.

This final page happens to be my son's favorite and is from the book parade held at his school recently. All the chipboard pieces used on this page - Triangle clusters, a piece from View finder and a piece from the Glasses set were coated with gesso and then painted over with acrylic paints.

I hope you enjoyed reading about and seeing close ups of my project today. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Wishing you a creative week,

Kripa Koushik

March Shares With Beck BT

Hi, it's Beck Beattie here.    I can't wait to show you two fun layouts I created for this month's share.   For the first layout I'm going to share with you a layout I created as part of 2Crafty's Guest  Dectives over at CSI (Color Stories Inspiration) challenge site.  Of all the challenge sites  that has always been a favourite of mine.  I just adore the real challenge they provide pushing  you to create out of your comfort zone.     Please remember while you are here  to become a blog follower  & leave a blog comment to be eligible to go in our monthly draw  for a great chippie prize pack.

"Whats In A Name"

I had so much fun creating this page as part of CSI's guest detectives.  

  The Challenge I played along with for this layout is:  

I also created a video of my page if you want to see my creative process in creating it.  

Head to my you tube channel HERE to see it.

For my circle frames I added some Shimmerz Creameez and DecoArt Metallic lustre

  I coloured up the Checkboard clumps with Shimmerz new Aqua Hues in inter-BLACK-tic

  The 'name' word I took from the Alpha set 1 and coloured with Aqua Hues and  Faber-Castell Gelatos in Orange Sorbet

"Come Fly With Me" This next layout features a sneak at the next CSI challenge due to go live on friday...  You'll have to wait to see all the details and full case file until then.  But while you  wait enjoy a sneak into what I have created for it!   

  I actually decided to paint all my chipboard pieces in white as a subtle but fun and layered element.
