Pop the Champagne by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

This week is going to be a big one for me as I'm turning 40! Yay!

 But it's really the first time that I find it so hard to be reaching a new number. For the first time, I really realize I'm not a young adult anymore. At thirty, I was deep in parenthood, and between my work and my family, I did not see the years go by! Now that my kids are young teenagers, I'm starting to have time for myself again, but it feels like I've skipped from 30 straight to 40.

Anyways, at 40 I feel better than ever before. I have amazing kids, a great husband and friends that are very dear to my heart. So when my birthday comes, I'm going to celebrate and...

"Pop the Champagne"

On the "Heidi's Vines", I used two coats of pearl shimmering paint, then inked the borders in black.

For the "Frame Jenna", I used two coats of black embossing ink.

For the title, made of "Alpha set 1", I applied two coats of gold embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Heidi's Vines [m00156]

Frame Jenna [fr0079]

Alpha set 1 [120071]

That's all for me today.

 I hope you enjoyed my layout and that it gave you inspiration for your own creations!

 I'll be back in a few weeks, a little older but still as motivated as before!

 See you soon.

#adore Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I am lucky to meet you for a third layout for this month of October.

I made an arrangement very different from my habits 

but sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone. 

I chose this photo of my grandson Leo for his little face but also 

for the cloudy background.

#adore

The 2CraftyChipboard used:

- Hashtag Word Set 1

- Numbers Panels

- Steampunk Strips

- Squiggly Strips Set 1

- Hinges Pack 

This time I put black gesso on each chipboard!

Then I applied waxes in different colors to get the shade I liked.

I usedI used "Bronze Age" "Lucky Emerald" and "Turquoise Satin".

I love these "Steampunk Strips" and "Squiggly Strips" particle boards 

they have a lot of character.

I have placed the "Numbers Panels" chipboard prominently.

For more relief on the agglomerates I added a design with a stamp and embossing powder.

I chose this title with the hashtag it's original. Perfect for my layout.

To support the title I added a chipboard from the "Hinges Pack".

Although, different from my habits, 

I hope this layout has given you some inspiration.

Thank you for your visit!

'Bake Cookies' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some Christmas inspiration with you!
I have created this layout to celebrate the
 family tradition of baking Christmas cookies.

2Crafty Products used:

I have used a black background for this layout,

 as I really wanted the red and white elements to pop off my page. 

For this layout I have used an assortment of Christmas pieces.

I have used one of the 'Bauble Ornament Set',

that I have finished in white, and then coated in iridescent glitz,

for a lovely sparkle against the black background.

I have also used the snowflake from the 'Christmas Assortment' set. 

I have also finished this with a sparkle.

I have also used the 'Gingerbread House',

that I have highlighted parts of with red paint.

Finally, I have used the gingerbread man from the 'Christmas Assortment',

that I have also painted parts of and layered with a sentiment. 

I hope that you like what I have created,
I will be back with some inspiration for you soon.

Until then

Hi there 2Crafty fans. Thanks for stopping by.

Doodled Corners

Palm Leaves Set

"Sweet" Mini Word

Doiley Frames Set

I have used one of the "Doodled Corners" which I cut in

half & used it vertically like a border instead of a corner!!

All my chipboard on this layout was firstly primed with white gesso
& then followed up by using various colours of
Prima "Art Alchemy" Metallique & Opal Magic paints.

I have added some of the "Palm Leaves" in beneath my flowers clusterings
& I used one of the many "Mini Words" that 2Crafty make as my title.

Lastly I want to draw your attention to these gorgeous "Doiley Frames" that I have used to

"LOVE YOU MILLIONS" Layout By Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,
Here I am again to present my second inspiration for this month of October.

Here in France we are in the middle of autumn, the cold is starting and the days are short.

But I love fall the colors of nature are incredible. 

So I chose to make a layout with bright colors but always autumnal.

"LOVE YOU MILLIONS"

The 2CraftyChipboards used:

- 6 X 4 Phrase Sticks 4

- 12 X 12 Clock Faces

- Swaying Branches

- Flower Doilies

- Flowering Clusters

- Polaroid Assortment 

As always the same method of preparing particle board by applying a layer of white gesso.

I practically only used embossing powders only in the varied colors and textures.

On the "12 x 12 Clock Faces" chipboard, it is a blue color with small gold highlights.

As I often like I placed it under my photo.

For the "Swaying Branches" chipboard, I chose a Lindy's Gang "Tin Roof Rusted" 

embossing powder. To highlight it, I had it pasted on my photo.

I chose this title "LOVE YOU MILLIONS" which shows 

all the love I have for my granddaughter.

With a watermark pen I underlined the letters then I put the embossing powder. 

It gives a little different effect.

I used the "Flower Doilies" particle board as a lace effect. 

They are just embellished with a little touch of natural wax.

I wanted to add this laser cut like a newspaper but it didn't stand out well so I added
this "Polaroid" chipboard which changed everything. 

Below for more details I have placed the "Flowering Clusters" chipboard.

Do not hesitate to concentrate a lot of chipboard on your layouts. 

They bring volume and important details...

So much for my layout. Tomorrow, another inspiration will be there for you.

See you soon!

"With you anything is Possible" By Charmane Sharp

 Today I thought I would share a little love,
with my hubby. He makes anything possible for me.

I am so blessed to have married my best friend.

My love story, typed with prettiness using Mintay papers and 
beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces with Elegant Swirls for
gorgeous details. Scrapbooking the loves of your life warms
your heart.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Title- With you anything is Possible 

Elegant Hearts

Sammi's Swirls

Frame Celia's Flourish

Such a lovely sentiment to focus your layout on. Perfect to create a love story

theme. I inked the title with Pearl White and then blended some Coral ink

with a blending brush to compliment my layout. Underneath my floral 

elements above I placed Celia's Frame to add details and inked with Pearl

White. 

Adding to my die cut Hearts I placed the Elegant Heart. I love the intricate

details inside the heart. I made it pop by inking in Blue and toned it down

by using a blending brush with a little Pearl White.

Sammi's Swirls are fantastic to add glorious features around my flowers.

By cutting them into two pieces I can add them to two clusters for

beautiful finishing details. They were inked in Coral and lightened with

Pearl White on a blending brush.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my layout for 2Crafty Chipboard.

If your local store or online business doesn't stock 2Crafty then please ask 

them to email salesat2crafty@optusnet.com.au to place an order.

Until next time...

Sweet cheeks By Marie Claude Rodier

Hello everyone,

I used a lot of fussy cutting elements and elegant chipboards to create this apple picking layout.
I used light and vibrant colors to brighten it up.
I love how the golden title makes it even more cheerful.

Sweet cheeks

Sweet cheeks was dabbered with vintage gold acrylic paint. I love it’s funky texture,
it almost looks like crackles. 

Chicken Barbed Wired Small panel was cut into pieces and placed on either side of the clustering.
A few highlights of white gesso and white gold wax were added sparsely.

Flourish Adornment 4 were embossed with Golden Burgundy powder and dry brushed
with gesso to tone them down.
