Cherish by Tania Ridgwell

   Hello there! 


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

"Cherish"



2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*10" Decorative Panel - Doily 1
*Cherish - Loopy Font
*Foliage Set 18


I have used the beautiful 49 & Market 'From the Garden' Collection to create the base for my Layout.


I first painted all my chippie pieces with a white Posca Paint Pen.  Once dry I sprayed some Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Mist onto the Foliage and Cherish Title chippies.  I left the Doily Panel chippie white.


I added the doily chippie to the top left of my page and then added my photo.  I embellished around my photo with lots of paper blooms and leaves.  I tucked in the foliage chippies amongst the paper blooms and finished off my page by adding the Cherish Title chippie along the bottom right.


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

today
by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone, hope you are well and busy creating beautiful projects with our favorite 2Crafty goodness!.

I'm sharing a layout with a photo I've used before. Sometimes when you get a new paper collection, photos you've used in the past work so well that you have to use them again for a new perspective. That's how this layout came about. 

 today


2Crafty Chipboard I used:

Foliage Set 11
Aged Filmstrips
today Loopy Font

As always, I coated all the chipboard pieces with Gesso before altering.


On the left side of the photo, I placed one of the foliage pieces from the Foliage Set 11 underneath the flowers. I painted it with Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint. 



Here is another foliage piece from the Foliage Set 11 on the right of the photo to balance with the left side. This was also painted with Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint.



I painted one of the Aged Filmstrips with a mix of White and Parchment Acrylic Paint, and then added in a little bit of English Lavender Chalk Paint. I placed one on top of the laser cut filmstrip at the top of the photo.



I added in another one of the Aged Filmstrips underneath the bottom of the photo along with another foliage piece from the Foliage Set 11.



The title, today, was painted with Raw Umber Acrylic Paint to complement the foliage pieces around the photo. 
I don't know why these enlarged images are blurry, they aren't blurry in my phone. ???? Oh well, you can make out enough of it to get the idea.


Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at my layout. I hope this has inspired you. I'll be back later on in the month with another layout featuring fabulous 2Crafty Chipboard.

A Beautiful Moment With You - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!!!
Laura back today to share a layout I created of my husband and I!


2Crafty products used:



Photo Adornment - Flourish Set 3
Thin Square Stacked Fames
A Beautiful Moment With You
Loopy Heart Swirl
Heart Clumps



After prepping my paper then applying a stencil and colorants I also prepped my chipboard pieces



I used the scorched timber distress pad and the uncharted mariner distress pad.



I absolutely adore this flourish set!



I added the heart clump on top of the flower cluster!



For the title piece I wanted it to stand out a little more so I used clear embossing powder over the distress ink!


Thanks so much for stopping by

Pure Happiness
By Charmane Sharp

 



My girls bring me Pure Happiness every day. I am so lucky to be loved by
them. On this day they enjoyed running around the park together. This layout
was created with Beneath the Brambles by Lou Collins for Arden Studios.




2Crafty Chipboard used...

Floral Stem Silhouette set
Frame Oval Ornate
11' Round Flourish Frame
Title- Pure Happiness




I chose to use the Floral Stem Silhouettes as I knew they would look lovely
 with a pop of Purple colour. I painted the centre of the flower with Distress Paint
 Wilted Violet and then added Shaded Lilac to the petals.I mixed some Picket
 Fence with Shaded Lilac for a lighter edge on the petals. The Stems were painted
with Mowed Lawn with a little dot of black mixed in so as not too bright.




A little hard to photograph the Shimmer on the Ornate Oval Frame.
In real life it looks stunning as I painted it with Distress Bundled Sage
and then sprayed it with a Shimmer Spritz. The result is beautiful.




Such an accurate title for this layout. Pure Happiness was painted with
Finnabair Iris Potion Sparks paint. 




Framing my layout with the 11' Round Flourish Frame draws the eye
into the creativity and adds a touch of glamour with its embossed finish.
I sprayed the Shimmer Spray over the Gesso and then added Clear 
Embossing Powder with a sprinkling of fine Gold Powder. This gave a
unique look which didn't overtake the layout but adds lovely detail.




A Scrapbook Collection can have diets and beautiful papers, but adding chipboard
 to it just seems to elevate each layout. Don't you agree? Especially with the
 enormous amount to choose from with 2Crafty Chipboard.

Until next time...

Favourite Memory by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!
Tania popping in today to share the first of my DT projects for June. 
 I have created a layout. 

"Favourite Memory"


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Paws and Heart Set
*Little Pawprint Strip
*Thin Rectangle Stacked Frames
*Fine Word Set 1


I have used the gorgeous Unmistakable Creations 'Denim & Lace' Collection to create the base for my Layout.


I first painted all the chippie pieces with a white Posca Paint Pen.  Once dry I sprayed the Forever (from the Fine Word Set), Rectangle Stacked Frame and Heart chippies (Paws and Heart Set) with Heidi Swapp Navy Color Shine Mist.


To construct my page I added the Rectangle Stacked Frame chippie around my photo and then added it to my base page.  I added lots of paper blooms around my photo.  I cut the Little Pawprint Strip chippie into pieces and tucked the pieces in amongst all the blooms.  I also tucked the Paw Print chippies from the Paws and Heart Set into the paper blooms.  I added the Hearts chippies from the Paws and Heart Set randomly around my page.  To finish off my page I added the Forever chippie across the bottom right of my photo.


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

CLICK Capture
by Robin Schelin

Hi everybody, welcome to the beautiful month of June. 

Today I'm sharing a layout I made "just because". No special photo, no special event, no story. Just because I liked the photo. Sometimes a particular photo just grabs your attention and you feel the need to create art around it. That was the case here. Hope you like it. 

CLICKCapture

2Crafty yumminess I used:

Fencing Wire Panel

Frame Mini Doodled Set

CLICK Capture


As I always do, I first coated all the chipboard piece with Gesso for a good base before altering.


Starting at the top of the photo, I placed the largest frame in the Frame Mini Doodled Set next to the flowers. I painted it with Nautical Chalk Paint, and then glued paper underneath it to add contrast against the background paper. And then added a word strip to complete this area.


Underneath the photo, I cut the Fencing WIre Panel and tucked a piece of it under the photo on both sides. I just painted it with 2 coats of White Gesso to get good coverage. I glued it on top of the darker solid blue to get good contrast.


I then mimicked the same thing on the other side of the photo for balance.


I love this new title from 2Crafty. I thought it went really well with this photo with the phone on the table (CLICK) and writing in the journal (Capture). My mind goes to some great lengths trying to get the titles right with the photos I use. Granted, sometimes it's a stretch! I painted it with Nautical Chalk Paint, the same as the frame at the top to balance out the colors and create depth.


And that's it. My layout for no particular reason other than I like the photo! Art doesn't need a rhyme or reason, just what pleases you!

See you back in a few weeks with more 2Crafty goodness.
