Treasure This Moment Heart Canvas by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for October. 
 I have altered a Heart Canvas. 

"Treasure This Moment"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Corners Florabella

*Chicken Wire Barbed Medium

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 5

*Photo Adornment - Sammi's Swirl

I altered the Heart Canvas using a Brick Stencil and Texture Paste.  Once Dry I added an assortment of colours in Pink and Orange Tones using Kaisercraft and Hedi Swapp Color Sprays.

I then randomly added some stamping using a script stamp.

I used Blushed Peach Opal Polish to colour the Chicken Barbed Wire & Sammi's Swirls chippies and Lilac Rose Opal Polish to colour the Florabella Corner chippie.   I added paper layers under my photo and added it to the centre of my heart canvas. 

I added the Florabella Corner chippie to the bottom left of my photo.  I then added fussy cut elements from the Mintay Floral Book 9 and lots of paper blooms around my photo.   I cut the Chicken Barbed Wire and Sammie's Swirls chippies into pieces and tucked them in amongst the flowers and fussy cut elements.  I finished off my page by adding the Treasure This Moment title.

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

Seaweed Set

For this layout, I use some of the 'Fishing Net Bits',

 and used in among my elements

 

I also used one of 'Aged Film Strip Set',
which I finished in a multi tone aqua blue finish,
over the copper netting.
I then layered one of 'Travel Mini Word Set 2',
that I have inked black, on top of the film strip.
 

 

 

I then used one of the 'Seashells Set 2'
and one of the 'Seaweed Set 1',

both finished in the same aqua tones,
in among my layers.

 

 

 

I hope that you like what I have created, 

I love the fun beachy vibes!

Be True to You by Robin Schelin

Hello 2Crafty fans! Welcome to the blog. 

Today I'm sharing a sweet layout of sisterly love. I'm a big sister, so this photo spoke to me and got me thinking about my little sister and the good times we had together as children.

Hope you like it!

"Be True to You"

2Crafty I used:

Aged Film Strips

Be True to You

Squiggly Circle Journaling Spots

Before altering, Gesso those fabulous chippies!

Peeking out from under the photo up top is the wonderful Aged Film Strip. I cut it in half and used half under the top, and the other half under the bottom of the photo. I painted it with Tin Pewter Acrylic Paint. I has a sheen to it that looks really pretty IRL, can't tell so much I these pictures.

Here is the other half of the Aged Film Strip on the bottom.

.

The title, Be True to You, was painted with white Acrylic Paint. Because the title is big, I wanted it to be subtle and not "in you face" with anything bright. I placed it in the middle of the page to connect the 

corners where the designs are.

 

This is one of the absolutely charming Squiggly Circle Arrow Journaling Spots. These little pieces are one of my favs from 2Crafty. I painted it with Tin Pewter Acrylic Paint. I placed a little clock in the center, which I lucked out with, and it fit perfectly. I think that the arrow pointing to the title adds interest and a little whimsy to the composition.

Hope you have been inspired by this. I will see you back in a couple weeks with more from 2crafty!

"Special Day"Mixed Media Layout By Di Garling

Well hi there & hello, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have a layout to share & I have created this lovely

mixed media background to help showcase it all.
I hope you like it. 

 

2Crafty Chipboard Used…

Frames - Handrawn Hearts

“Special Days” title

Leafy Shrub Set #1

After firstly creating my background with pastes, 

stencilling & sprays I then set about altering all

the chipboard pieces to match it & I was super happy
with how they turned out. That is the beauty of using chipboard, 

you can customise it to match absolutely any theme or style!!

For my title, it actually said, "Special Days" but I just snipped

off the "S" which worked better with this layout. Too easy !!

I coloured it up with a couple of different colour paints.

This is the magnificent "Handrawn Heart Frame" which by the way,
a few of the other design team girls have also used lately. Be sure

to check out how they too have used it.  It really is soo

nice we all LOVE it. I have coloured it the same way I did the title.

The last pieces of chippie I have used on my layout are from
the "Leafy Shrub Set #1", another fantastic piece & one which

I personally use quite regularly. This set of shrubery works sooo

well with flowers etc. 

I firstly applied some texture paste to the petals to create

some texture on the leaves before I painted them.

Well thats all from me today.

Until next time....

"Sweet" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

A few days ago, Amy posted a layout in tribute to a three-year-old boy, "Phoenix", 

who died following an accident. 

He died after being hit by a car. With this photo entrusted by Amy. 

I in turn wanted to pay homage to him through a layout.

I am a mother and a grandmother. I can't even imagine the heartache this family must endure, 

without this little boy who was just asking to live.

"Sweet"

The chipboard used:

card-word-packs-friendship

loved-forever-in-our-hearts-title

frame-handdrawn-heart

acorn-foliage-set

mini-lattice-bits

      

In memory of this little boy, I created an autumnal page in warm and comforting colors.

    Each chipboard was protected with a layer of white gesso.

I chose these two beautiful "Frame Handdrawn Heart" hearts which I embellished with 

Lindy's Gang "Cowabunga Copper" ink.

I made a cluster using the "Acorn Foliage Set" chipboards, I mixed Lindy's Gang and Oxide Distress 

inks to get these beautiful colors. I layered them with cardboard to give them more relief.

The word "Sweet" is covered in white acrylic paint.

These 'Mini Lattice Bits' I just received are amazing and go so well for adding structure to the layout. They fit wonderfully.

    To finish, I added this phrase "Loved & Forever in our Hearts", which is so heartfelt.

I don't want to send a message of sadness but a lot of love.

    It was with a lot of love that I created this layout.

Happy scrapping to you!

Marie

      

"Christmas Cards" with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, for today I have two Christmas cards to share with you and I used some of the amazing chipboard pieces 2Crafty Chipboard offers.
 Enjoy this post.....

Snow Magic & Merry Christmas: 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Corner Crackle
Merry Christmas Fine Card Pack
Crystal Snowflakes
Holly Twig- Branches
Word Circle Set 1
Dangling Merry Christmas Sign
Wintery Snowflake Set
Thin Square Stacked Frames
Snowball Tree
The Magic of Snow

I altered the chipboard pieces in different ways for my first card I mostly used embossing powder {gold & white} but for the "snowball tree" & the magic of snow phrase I cut those in pieces and I used two colors of matte acrylic paints after that I added some true snow randomly on those pieces. 

The pieces of Crackle Corner, add texture and interest to the background and I've cut up
 pieces of the Snowball Tree and tucked these amongst the paper flowers. Lovely gold embossed finish on the rectangle frame, adds a beautiful backdrop for

 the rest of the elements.

For my second card I left some of the chippies in their raw state. I sometimes feel that is a better fit on my projects. On some of the pieces I used some white gesso and on the holly twig branches I added some acrylic paint & some true snow. I've cut out the sentiment in the Word Circle and added the Merry Christmas sentiment to the middle.

Again on this cards, I've added cut up pieces of the Crackle Corner to the background for

 some interest, and added some small snowflakes and Holly Twig Branches.

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....
