"JUST love OUR Story" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present you my second inspiration of this month of May. 

A soft layout, with neutral and soothing colors. 

Inspired by a family photo announcing the birth of a new child.
A precious testimony of life.

"JUST love OUR Story"

The chipboard used:

JUST love OUR Story Title

Frame Doilies

Large Berry Stem

Once I'd chosen my background paper and paper embellishments, I opted for the chipboards that seemed best suited to the designs, especially this gorgeous "Large Berry Stem".

It's incredibly beautiful, and I think it's ideal for this layout.

As usual, I cover each chipboard with a layer of white gesso.

The frames "Doilies" were decorated with embossed powders "Lindy’s Gang" "Twilight Blue Slate" 

mixed with sky blue.

To add more depth, I insert a circle of printed paper from the collection under the photo. 

I place cardboard under it to raise it.

For the title, I'm using the same colors as for the frames.

I'm mixing two colors for the 'Large Berry Stem' chipboard: 'Cleopatra's Copper' and 'Desert Moon Copper Teal'. By heating the powder, I accentuate certain areas more or less to achieve different effects. I love the shine it creates.

I am always amazed by the result obtained with these beautiful chipboards.

It’s up to you!

Marie

Cuties by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for May. 

 I have created a layout. 

"Cuties"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Lacey Square Heart Frame

*Cuties Title

*Photo Adornment - Flourish Set 3

 I have used the gorgeous Unmistakable Creations 'Flora View' Collection to create the base for my layout.

I painted all the chippies using Dylusions Vibrant Turquoise Paint which I toned down the colour by mixing it with Gesso.  Once dry I randomly dabbed on some Gesso to the Flourish chippie pieces and Gesso along the bottom of the Cuties Title.  

I added a circle piece of paper to the centre of my page and added some distressed paper layers under the Lacey Square Heart Frame chippie with my photo.  Along the bottom of my photo I added an Acetate Filmstrip piece.  Embellished my page with lots of paper blooms, then tucked in the the Flourish chippies amongst the blooms.  I finished off my page by adding the Cuties chippie Title.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

'Explore, Dream, Discover' with Lisa Amiet

 
Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share my latest creation with you. 

Explore, Dream, Discover

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

'Explore, Dream, Discover Title'
'Mini Dotty Bits'

'Steampunk Chain Clock Cluster'
'Steampunk Gears Small'

'Steampunk Gears Medium'

For this layout, I have used a black background,
as I really wanted the colours to pop on this layout.  

So I first got to splashing some colour around ;)

 

 

I have used one of the 'Steampunk Chain Clock Cluster',
that I have finished in an ombre
of bright yellow, green and blue paints.

 

 

I have also used quite a few of the 'Dotty Bits',
that I have also finished the same way. 

And a couple finished in black near the clock.

 

 

I also used one of the 'Steampunk Gears Small',
and one of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

both finished in the same colours
as the clock and layered for dimension.

 

 

To finish, I used the 'Explore, Dream, Discover Title',

again finished in the same ombre yellow, green and blue.

 

 

I really love how this layout turned out,
I was hoping to mirror the neon colours in my photo onto my chipboard.
I think it worked out :)

I hope that you like it too.

 

Until next time!

You Have My Whole Heart by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone, welcome to the blog. 

Today I'm sharing a simple little layout using one of my favorite color combos. 

You Have My Whole Heart

2Crafty goodness I used:

Foliage Set 12

Lattice Heart Set

Valentines Hearts

You Have My Whole Heart

As always, a good coating of gesso before altering the chippies!

I placed one of the little foliage pieces from the Foliage Set 12 under the flowers at the left of the photo. I painted it with a mix of Neutral Gray and White Acrylic Paint. 

I painted it gray to play off the gray flowers and because the post in the photo is gray.  (Made you look, lol) I know I may be picky, but I try to incorporate some of the colors that are in the photo when choosing the embellishment colors. No matter how subtle. And even through there is no blue in the photo, I think this color combo works because the colors of the embellies on either side of the photo brings it together. 

Here is another piece of the Foliage set 12 at the upper right of the photo, also painted with a mix of Neutral Gray and White Acrylic Paint.

The title is stacked with three chipboard pieces. 

On the bottom is the insert from the Lattice Heart set. I painted it with a blend of Brilliant Yellow Green and Unbleached Titanium Acrylic Paint. I wanted this to be the anchor of the title and be the same color as the green on the paper.

On top of the heart, I placed one of the Valentines Hearts. I cut the little swirls off from inside the heart and painted it with a mixture of Neutral Gray, Viridian, Turquoise Green and White Acrylic Paint. This is to match the blue on the paper.

Then lastly, I placed the sentiment, You Have My Whole Heart, on top of all of that. I wanted it to be easily seen, contrasting nicely against the colors. I kind of swiped over "You Have My Whole" with a light coating of white gesso and left it at that, because it looks gray like the Foliage Set 12 pieces. Then I painted "Heart" with White Acrylic Paint. 

Hope you like this and that it inspires you. I'll be back in a couple weeks with more 2Crafty awesomeness. 

Until then xx

"Mother & Daughter"Layout By Di Garling

 Hello there, welcome to the 2Crafty blog.

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

some more of the NEW RELEASE 2Crafty chipboard pieces !!!

I just looove the new releases & I am sure you will too. 💖💖💖

2Crafty Chipboard Products Used...
"Wavy Filmstrip Border"
"Foliage Set #14"
"Mother & Daughter"- title
ATC "Tiny Hearts & Stars"
ATC "Funky Hearts

I think the star chipboard piece of my page would definitely

have to be the NEW "Wavy Filmstrip Border", it is such an 

awesome chipboard piece & the best thing about it is that

accomodates four photos !!!

Although I could have just used two 6"x 4" portrait photos

if I wanted too. I think that would have worked well also !! 

I just adore this NEW title, "Mother & Daughter".

I mean who doesn't have photos that would work well

with a "Mother Daughter" theme !!!

In the photo above you can see I have used some of the NEW 

"Foliage Set #14" pieces throughout my flower clusters.

I think they are the perfect accompaniment to all the flowers.

I finished off my layout with a sprinkling of two different

sorts of chippie hearts, both the "Tiny ATC Hearts" as well

one of the "ATC Funky Hearts"amongst my flowers.

I am also releasing this page as a KIT.

Until next time...

Good Times - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Creating simple and multi photo layouts are a great way to record fun memories with friends!  

2Crafty Products Used;

Seaweed Set 1
Line Words - Good Times
Harlequin Clumps
Anchor and Buoy Set
Seashells Set 2
Banners Flags

We had such a good time that day so the title piece was perfect!  I inked and heat embossed the title!

After inking the seashells I added a bit of copper paint

The anchor and wheel were perfect accents for a layout about spending the day on the water

I wanted to keep the layout fun and watery so when I painted the banners and used dimensional paint!

thanks for stopping by
