'Ordinary' Art Journal Page
with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share
some art journal inspiration with you.

'Ordinary'

2Crafty products used:

2Crafty Used

Grass Clumps
Thistle
Field Mushrooms

For this art journal page,
I created my own mixed media background.

Then, I used some of the 'Thistle',
which I cut up and used on either side of my page.

I left these raw to go with the nature theme of my page.

I used one of the 'Field Mushrooms'
as the main focal point for my page,
which I also left raw.

I also used one of the 'Grass Clumps',

which I have coloured the same greens
and browns as my background,

layered over the thistle and mushroom.

I really love the green and brown natural tones to this page
and I am happy with how it turned out.
I hope that you like it too!

Until next time!

"dreams"
Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present my first inspiration of this April.

A layout in idyllic tones for a dream day, accompanied by a variety of romantic chipboards

and photos of my daughter-in-law.

"dream"

The chipboard used:

arrow-word-set-1

frame-mini-doodled-set

lacey-border-set-1

beaded-hanging-heart-set

As usual, I prepare the chipboards by applying a layer of white gesso.

They were all embellished in the same way, using Lindy's Gang ink in 'Grab a Guy Gold'.

I start my layout by placing the "lacey-border-set-1" chipboard.

To frame my photos, I use these beautiful frames from "frame-mini-doodled-set".

They are so delicate. I love them!

It's been a long time since I've used these "arrow-word-set-1". I find it fits in perfectly with this layout.

Frames are commonly offered in different sizes, which is very useful for highlighting

small details in a photo.

Here I'm using the "beaded-hanging-heart-set" chipboards to make a dreamcatcher.

I hope you enjoyed this layout.

Happy scrapbooking!

Easter
By Charmane Sharp

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a cute Easter layout with the gorgeous

Lil' Chicks either side of the Title. I love my Easter Meerkats so I thought

I would create a layout around them.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Leafy Shrub set 2 x2

11’ Circular Leafy frame

Lil’ Chicks

Title- Easter

The Leafy Shrub pieces add beautiful design to my White and

Yellow floral cluster with their wax finish. Patina Green, Mint Sparkle

and Sage Leaves by Finnabair were rubbed on and finished with a dry

brushing of Gesso.

By building my cluster on top of the Leafy Swirls it enhanced

the features of the Frame and married them together. Especially by

using the same waxes.

A perfect title given an ombre effect with Orange ink brushed on the

bottom and Yellow ink on the top. Then I blended the middle with my

finger. The cute Chicks were rubbed with Honey wax and a little Coral

wax to highlight the belly area. Finished with an outline of the beak and

wing with a black pen. Such an adorable combination.

With Easter almost upon us I hope you have enjoyed this cute

layout. Thanks for stopping by the blog.

Until next time...

#Totally Awesome
Masculine Layout By Di Garling

Hello there, welcome to the 2Crafty blog.

Today I have another layout to share with you & it features

the NEW "Steampunk Hanging Lightbulbs"

along with some other great chipboard pieces..

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

Totally Awesome - title

Hanging Steampunk Lightbulbs Set

Assorted Polaroid Frames Set

It has been a little while since I got my grunge on
& did a boy layout & so I thought it was a bit overdue !!!

So here it is. 👀❤

I have used a couple of the "Polaroid Frames" from the
"Assorted Polaroid Set".

I blobbed some gesso onto them to get this lovely texture
before painting them with some metallic paints.

I was really happy with how they turned out.

I then gave the exact same treatment to two of the

"Hanging Steampunk Lightglobes" & then I simply

stuck one on each side of the two frames. I thought this

decorated the frames beautifully.

The last chipboard piece I have used on this layout, was this

"Totally Awesome" title & I have cut off a "HASHTAG" off

yet another piece of chipboard to add it into the title.

Again my title was all finished off with some metallic paints too.

I am also releasing this page as a KIT.

Until next time...

"Today One I Will Remember"
Layout
with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends,
I am so happy you stopped by the blog, today I made another layout to show you and again it's with a baby picture love doing layout's with cute babies lately. This baby is the son of my ex co-worker who became a first time mom in 2024. I have used some new and older chipboard pieces that combined perfectly with some prima paper & flowers.

Today One I Will Remember:

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used:
Today Phrase Set
Large Roman Numerals Set
Dainty Foilage Stems
Vintage Steampunk Clock Cluster
Giant Gears
Corner Steampunk 4
Chain Lengths
Frame Chained Circles
Pag Tab Set
2024's
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Fine Word Set ~ Months
One Love Title

Most of the chipboard pieces are altered with some white gesso but I also left some of them just in their raw state, sometimes it just fits better that way. The white chipboard pieces on my layout are made white with some acrylic matte paint.

On the vintage steampunk clock clusters I added some different color waxes. The other chipboard pieces are coloured with my aqua/alcohol markers in a chocolate color & the dainty foilage stems in a dark green sage color and to finish them I added some of my waxes.
