 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog. 
For this post I made a canvas embroidery hoop with a picture of Jeroen and I during our
wedding back in 2012. We didn't have great weather on April the 20th but we still got
some nice pictures that I have scrapped during the years but this one I haven't as far as I remember. Enjoy my post....

Love

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
11" Celia Frame 
Line Words Happiness
Fine Floral Corner Set
Foliage Set 6
Foliage Set 3
Groovy Flowers
Frame Fine Circle With Butterflies
2021's

All the chippies are treated with some white gesso for the fine floral corner set I added some white embossing powder and I cut that one up and added them around my picture and in my flower cluster. The line word love is also treated with some white embossing powder. 

For the groovy flowers they are treated with some pink embossing powder and I place a metal screw head in the middle. For the rest of the chippies I just added some acrylic paint in different shades to match my canvas. 

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....

Enjoy The Journey - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Back today to share a layout I created of our oldest sons purchase of a 1977 Corvette.

2Crafty Products used:

Mini Chunky bits
Grungy Splatter Bits
Harlequin clumps
Brick Panel
Frame Chained Circle
Enjoy The Journey
Mini Numbers Panel
Steampunk Chain Clock Cluster

I always begin by prepping my chipboard with gesso - either clear or white

I then begin spraying different shades of grey and bit of black mists to create the effect I wanted.

I inked the pieces with black ink on the outside so when I layered all the pieces there was
still definition of each piece.

I had added some red tickets from my stash to coordinate with the cars red interior and wanted
the title to stand out a bit so I inked it with lumberjack plaid ink and embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by

Unforgettable By Charmane Sharp

An Unforgettable Experience that we will treasure always. Getting to

bathe these rescued Elephants was such a pleasure. Taking the time to 

paint all the details in the Half Floral page border showcased it beautifully.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Title- Unforgettable 

Delicate Swirls

Half Floral Page Border 

Decorative Circle Accents 

Couldn’t have picked a more perfect title. After a coat of Gesso on

all the chipboard, Unforgettable was painted with acrylic paint in

Pastel Pink and some Gesso sponged on the top for a two toned finish.

 Icing some white into the pink I got a lighter shade to paint the

Delicate Swirl that sits underneath the title.

Taking my paint brush to this Floral Page Border using a different

colour to identify each feature brought it to life and I think it's a

very pretty chipboard choice.

The Decorative Circle Accents are becoming a favourite of mine.

They add pretty detail to my embellishment cluster. I painted with

a pastel pink and added white paint as I went in towards the middle

to lighten for an ombre finish.

Prima Full Bloom Collection made for a beautiful pastel layout.

Acrylic Paint makes transforming the chipboard so easy. Thanks

for stopping by the blog and if your not following my socials then

Until next time...

Cheeky Moments by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for September. 
I have created a layout. 

"Cheeky Moments"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Aged Film Strip Set

*Foliage Set 11

*Elegant Hearts

                                                                    *Cheeky - loopy font

*Pretty Flowers

I have used the stunning Uniquely Creative 'Indigo Bloom' Collection to create the base for my layout. 

I first coloured the Aged Film Strip, Elegant Heart & Cheeky Title chippies with Kaisercraft Navy Iridescent Spray.  Once dry I randomly dabbed on some Lilac Rose Opal Polish over them.  I did the opposite with the Pretty Flowers & Foliage chippies colouring them first with the Lilac Rose Opal Polish then once dry randomly dabbing on the Kaisercraft Navy Iridescent Spray with a brush.

I added torn paper layers across my background page and then added my photo.  I cut the Aged Film Strip chippies in half and added pieces in between the paper layers.  I added lots of paper blooms and die cut elements around my photo.  I tucked the Pretty Flowers & Foliage chippies in amongst all the die cut elements and paper blooms. 
 I finished off my page by adding the Cheeky Title chippie to the top right of my layout.

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

You Shine by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone, welcome to the blog.

Today I'm sharing my first layout for September. I can't believe how fast this year is going. Wow! 

Anyway, I'm using some new pieces on this layout from the last release. So Pretty! I love monochromic color schemes. This was created with all the shades in the photo. From her hat and her hair to her dress and the background! I think I caught them all!

 You Shine 

Fabulous 2Crafty used:

Ava's Frame

Circle Stack

Foliage Set 18

Foliage Set 13

Annie's Butterfly Flourish

You Shine

All the Chipboard got a good coating of White Gesso before altering.

I used circles from the Circle Stack to frame both photos. I then cut the flourish from Ava's Frame and placed that over the top photo. I painted the Circles on the photos with Vintage Mustard Chalk and Painted Ava's frame with Raw Sienna Acrylic Paint. 

I added a couple of leaves from the Foliage Set 13 next to the top photo. These were also painted with Raw Sienna Acrylic Paint.

On top of the leaves on the right is a piece from the Foliage Set 18. The was painted with Sheepskin Chalk Paint.

Here is another piece from the Foliage Set 13 underneath a piece from the Foliage set 18.

And then there's this fabulous butterfly!! This is from Annie's Butterfly Flourish. I painted the butterfly's body with Raw Sienna Acrylic Paint and the wings with Sheepskin and Vintage Mustard Chalk Paint. I put some little bing Jewels from Kaisercraft where the colors met in the wings just to add a little dimension.

The large butterfly from Annie's Butterfly Flourish was altered the same as the small one. I carried the Raw Sienna color from the body of the butterfly into the flourish.

Here you can see the rest of the gorgeous flourish from the large butterfly. Love it!!

The title, You Shine, was painted with Sheepskin Chalk Paint. I painted this light because of the 2 other light areas on the layout with the flowers and the Foliage set 18. I used the rule of 3's to create harmony of color. 

I hope you like this, and that I have inspired you to create something monochromatic. It is so easy to do and looks great!

I'll be back in a few weeks with more inspiration from 2Crafty.

"Tons of Fun with SpongeBob SquarePants" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog.
 In our summer vacation we went to movie park Germany with the kids as Abbey loves SpongeBob SquarePants & Paw Patrol and Kevin loves rollercoasters and scary stuff. We went there for two days with a sleep in a hotel nearby, we had a lot of fun seeing our kids this happy. Off course Abbey wanted to be on a picture with SpongeBob and I wanted to scrap that right away so I did! 
Enjoy my post....

Tons of Fun with SpongeBob SquarePants: 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Frame Chained Circles
Filmstrips Medium
Hinges Pack
Mini Title Stick Set 3
Foliage Set 16  
Fine Word Set Months 
Word Circle Set 2
2025's

All the chipboard pieces but the word "august" & "foliage set 16" are altered with black gesso then I added some yellow acrylic paint on the filmstrip and top part of the circle "tons of fun"with a sponge on the other pieces I added some sea glass metallique wax and white gesso. The word august is just altered with some white acrylic paint without a primer like gesso.

 Behind the tons of fun circle I placed a piece of paper the same as the middle part of my layout. The foliage set 16 I just used my twinmarkers on and later added some white acrylic paint. The phrase that smile from the mini title stick set 3 I added some white faber castell pen on to make it pop a little more. 

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....
