Memories by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone! Welcome to the fabulous 2Crafty Blog!

Well, it's close to the end of October already. Can you believe it? October is Pumpkin time, Halloween time, and if you go to the stores it's already Christmas time!! I try to scrap the different seasons, so this is my Pumpkin Patch layout. I remember my kids going nuts over pumpkins. That meant Halloween to them! It meant getting ready for Christmas to me!! It all happens too fast! 

    Memories 

2Crafty Chipboard I used:

12X12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

Leafy Silhouettes

Memories of You

As I always say, and you may get tired of reading this, but prime those fabulous chippies, ladies!

So who doesn't LOVE the 12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames? One of my favorite 2Crafty pieces! You get 3 different sizes of these gorgeous frames in the set. This one is the middle size frame. It was perfect for this layout. 

All I did was paint it with Burnt Sienna Acrylic Paint, going a little heavier in some parts to deepen the color and create more dimension.

I think the Leafy Silhouettes are so pretty and that they add a little bit of whimsy. They also add an airiness and lightness since they aren't solid. (Make sense?) I glued paper under the top leaf so it could be easily seen against the clock frame. If I didn't do that, it would have gotten lost. The other leaves didn't need any backing. 

I painted them with Moss from the Prima Watercolor Confetti Set.

I added one more of the Leafy Silhouettes to the right of the photo because it needed one there to balance out the flowers. 

The title, Memories, is from the Memories of You title. I often cut the titles to customize them to my layouts. I felt that just using 'Memories' was enough for the space. I painted it with Sheepskin Chalk Paint. The color of this particular paint is almost the same color as the background, so it worked.

And there it is, my Pumpkin layout. Hope you like it. 

I'll be back next month with more from 2Crafty, in the meantime, I'll be out Christmas shopping, lol!
