'Dream Chaser' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!

It's Lisa here today to share some
 scrappy inspiration with you.

I have created this layout featuring my daughter on a recent trip to Japan. 

"DREAM CHASER"

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 

'ATC Georgian Frame'

'Foliage Set 15'

'Dainty Foliage Stems'

'Mini Flourish Bits'

 

 

For this layout, I used some of the gorgeous 
'Foliage Set 15' pieces.
 I have tucked two of the small ones 
under my large green flower.

 

 

I also used one of the larger ones under my yellow flower.
I left my chipboard raw for this layout,

I think it really goes with the tone of my papers. 

 

 

I also used one of the 'ATC Georgian Frames',

to which I have adhered a sentiment. 

 

I then tucked one of the 'Dainty Foliage Stems'

in between layers of my papers. 

 

 

To finish, I used one of the 'Mini Flourish Bits'

into the floral and foliage piece from my papers. 

I really like the wispy effect of this piece. 

 

 

I am very happy with how this layout turned out,

and I hope that you like it too and that it inspires you to get crafty today.

 

Until next time,

 

Lisa 

 

 

 

Life is awesome By Charmane Sharp

 

Sometimes the photograph may not be perfect but the moment is truly

a memorable one. Sitting on a small wall jutting out to sea while staying

on Milos Island the setting sun was captured while enjoying romantic

drinks together. I wanted a romantic feel with soft colours and I love

the end result of this layout especially the Mandala Frame.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Today Phrase set

6' Mandala No.5

Foliage set 10

I cut the inner decor from the Mandala to create my own

embellishment under the resin heart. I embossed with WoW Pastel

Pink but it was too bright so I sprinkled White over the top and then

heat set for the finished result. Life is awesome showed up by gesso

and the surrounding had Sweet Rose wax rubbed on it.

By cutting the Mandala up I created a unique frame to sit under

my photo. I blended a little WoW Sherbert Fizz with White for

a pale soft finish result. One I will Remember is better to see on

the top photo as the reflection blurred it a little here. It has the

same treatment as the other phrase.

For a little boldness I cut the Foliage to tuck below my flowers

and used a Green and Gold Mix to emboss the pieces, allowing

them to really pop. Sometimes a little elegance is needed to bring

all the pastel shades together to sing.

I love how chipboard and resin elements work together in harmony

to add glorious detail and texture.

Until next time...

Boys Will Be Boys - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share another fun masculine layout I created of our youngest!

2Crafty products used:

Steampunk Gears Small
Steampunk Gears Medium
Chevron Bits
Industrial Light Bulbs
12x12 nested Cog Frames
Boys Will Be Boys Title

I wanted to keep with the masculine grungy feel

I covered all the pieces with the exception of the lightbulbs with texture paste and allowed it to air dry

I used Dusty Durango stampin' up ink pad and orange brusho powder on the rust colored pieces including the lightbulbs

I used a combination of uncharted mariner and faded jeans distress oxide inks with turquoise brusho powder

When all the pieces were dry I dry brushed white paint overtop to accent the textures.

Thanks for stopping by

Choose Happy by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

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

"Choose Happy"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Choose Happy

*Boho Floral Clusters

*Flower Doilies

I have used the gorgeous Uniquely Creative 'While Away' Collection to create the base for my layout.  

I first painted the Choose Happy & Flower Doily chippies with a coat of Gesso.  Once dry I added a little amount of Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint to some gesso and then randomly dabbed this onto the chippie pieces.  The Boho Floral Clusters I have left raw.

I added some fussy cut tags from the "While Away" collection under my photo.  I cut the Flower Doily chippie in half and tucked a half along each side of my photo.  I added fussy cut flowers and paper blooms to the top and bottom of my photo and tucked a raw Boho Floral Cluster chippie into each of these.   I finished off my page by adding the Choose Happy chippie to the bottom left 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.

Sweet love by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone, Robin back again to share my latest layout.

Puppies are the sweetest little things! Except for babies. But since I have a boat load of puppies around (because of the Rescue) and no babies, I tend to want to scrapbook them. This photo just melted my heart because you can just see the love.

Sweet love

2Crafty Chippies I used:

Leafy Silhouettes

Card Word Pack - Friendship 

12x12 Stacked Filmstrips 

love

As always, I first primed my chipboard with Gesso.

On the top of the photo is the word 'Sweet' from the Card Word Pack - Friendship.  I think this photo is  just so sweet that I had to use it. I painted it with White Acrylic Paint.

At the left of the photo I added a cluster of flowers, tucking in a couple of the Leafy Silhouettes. I painted them with 'Moss' from the Prima Confetti Watercolor Set. 

On the right bottom of the photo, I used a couple more of the Leafy Silhouettes in this flower cluster to balance with the top left. They were also painted with 'Moss' from the Watercolor Set. I love these little leaves. Different than solid leaves which I think adds more interest.

Underneath the whole composition is the fabulous 12x12 Stacked Filmstrips. Such a great background for this layout. I painted it with Parchment Acrylic Paint mixed with just a little bit of Pewter. Then I dabbed over it randomly with White Gesso. I love how it adds a subtle touch of color.

Then the main title, love. That is what this photo says to me. Just toooo sweet! I painted the title with White Acrylic Paint to match the word 'Sweet' at the top. And because the puppy is white too!

Hope you like this layout, and that it inspires you to create beautiful pages of your fur babies! 

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

This is the good life By Charmane Sharp

Mediterranean memories enjoying The Good Life together. Split the title

up for something different. Such a fresh looking layout.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Title- This is the Good Life

Filagree Arrows

Foliage set 15

Design Elements

12x12 Clock Face Frames

The title was rubbed with wax in Blue and then some White Gold added 

randomly. It was cut into pieces to draw your eye across the layout to read

it. A Design element piece was tucked under the floral pieces. It was rubbed

with wax which highlights the Gesso sponged on texture. Foliage piece

pops on top with the bright yellow.

Second half of the title sits on a chipboard Heart that had some

printed paper glued to it and then sanded the edges.

The outer Heart pice had printed paper glued to it and the edges sanded.

Ephemera was added and then a Filagree Arrow placed across for a little

love. It was covered with White Gold wax.

The clock face in the background represents a moment in time

captured to remember forever. It has the same treatment as the title.

Another Design Elements piece ,placed under the Foliage which was

watercoloured to make them stand out on my layout. I love the bright

yellow against the blue. Papers by Mintay which are lovely and bright.

Until next time...
