Happiness is this Moment by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!
Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for January. 
 I have created a layout. 

"Happiness is this Moment"


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Large Berry Stem
*Happiness is this Moment Title
*12" Parisian Border
*Amelia's Frames


I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Moonlit Garden' Collection to create the base for my layout. 


I first gave all the chippies a light coat of Golden Glow Opal Polish.  Once dry I dabbed on Summer Sky Opal Polish and Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Spray to the Parisian Border chippie.  I did the same to the Amelia's Frame chippies but used the Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Spray only.  I gave the Happiness is this Moment Title chippie a light spray of the Color Shine Spray also.


I added a paper doily and some torn paper layers under my photo.  I used the Amelia's frames chippies around my photo and added lots of paper blooms.  I cut up the Parisian Border chippie and tucked in pieces amongst the paper layers.  I did the same with the Large Berry Stem chippie and tucked pieces into the paper blooms.  To finish of my layout I cut the "Happiness" from the chippie title and added this above my photo and the remainder "Is this Moment" from the title I added along the bottom of the flowers.


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

Tranquil Moments
by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone. Welcome back to the blog. I'm happy to share with you my first layout of the year.

Well, now that the Holidays are over, and we all survived, it's time to relax. Maybe in a quiet corner with a yummy cup of coffee! 


"Tranquil Moments"



Chipboard I used:
Lattice Leaves
Tranquil Moments
Filmstrips Small


I am a big fan of using Gesso on the chipboard, but on this layout I only used Gesso on the title.


 
I  cut one of the Filmstrips Small in half and used them to create a long one running down the center in back of the photo. I placed them in the center of an acetate filmstrip that I also cut in half. I think using the acetate highlights the chipboard filmstrip. Because of the beige colors of her clothes, I left the chipboard filmstrip raw trying to pick up on those colors.



Here is the bottom of the photo with the other half of the Filmstrip Small.



I tucked in a few Lattice Leaves on the right side under the flowers and left them raw as well.



More Lattice Leaves on the left just to balance with the right side. For the title Tranquil Moments, I first covered it with White Gesso, then painted it with White Acrylic Paint. 


I hope you like this, and that this has prompted you to take some time for yourself and find a quiet place to unwind. Truth be told, I have a place that I go to for this very thing. Quite frequently!!
Until next time

"A Precious Moment"
Layout
with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends, 
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit the 2Crafty blog, I hope I can inspire you with my layout to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chipboard and have some fun. For today I have a cute baby layout - one I made for my ex-colleague, she had a baby boy in June and she always loves my work so she asked me to make her a layout and so I did. 


A Precious Moment

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Thin Square Stacked Frames
Mini Buttons
Loopy Heart Swirl
A Moment With You
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Fine Word Set 2
Funky Heart Swirls
Corner Annalise
Baby's Clothesline
2024's



Oh my gosh how I love the aqua/alcohol markers it's so easy to add them to your chipboards that it takes a hour less creating. You can add it to just raw chipboards or chipboards treated with gesso. It just makes it a lot easier. 


So all the chipboard pieces are treated with the markers to match the colors of my papers. I have used some soft tones like yellows, greens, browns & white. As most of you maybe know I love to cut up phrases and add words to it I also did that here. 

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

"Your Smile"
By Di Garling


Hi there 2Crafty friends, thanks so much for stopping by.
Today I have another layout to share & it features one of my beautiful 
granddaughters, & naturally I have used some great pieces of 2Crafty chipboard.
 
2Crafty Chipboard used…
6x6 Clockface Frames
Window Shutter Set #1
“Your Smile is the Best” - title trimmed
Bush Nut Set

Here you can see I have used the “Clockface Frames Set #1”
to frame my photo.  I have overlaid it over one of the
“6” Clockface Frames”,
both of which I have simply painted white & I 
added a touch on brown ink.


For my title I have trimmed the “You are My Sunshine” & I have simply
used the “Your Smile” portion. I have also used a couple of pieces of the
“Nut Bush Stems”, both of which I have painted in an olive green acrylic paint.

Well that is all I have for you today.
Until next time…

I am releasing this page as a KIT

Destination unknown
By Charmane Sharp

 



Welcome to my first layout to share with you all in 2025. Perfect title
was found in the Mini Stick Collection as Naxos Island is full of quaint
alleyways that lead you to discover unknown Destinations.




2Crafty Chipboard used...

Mini Title Stick set 6
Ornate Screen
Leafy Shrub set 1




I thought by using the Ornate Screen it would add to the Greek
architecture. After coating in metallic waxes I glued the Screen to
some printed paper so it looked like an old entryway.




Title Sticks are great to add small titles. This one especially as it
reflected our island walks wandering the unknown to see what we could
 find next. Rubbing on some Vintage Gold wax on the top only allowed
the Gesso to show the words in white.




A little pale blue watercolour on the Leafy Shrub added softness
to my embellishment cluster. I love these 2Crafty pieces.




Papers for this layout were by Craft O'Clock and I love the coordinating
fussy cut sheets to mix with the 2Crafty Chipboard. Thanks for stopping
by the blog today.

Until next time...
