Brothers Make The Best Friends

Circle Stack

1" Hexagons

Chevron Bits

I wanted to create a bright and fun layout of my husband (dark hair) and his brother (blonde)

I die cut a bunch of hexagons from the paper then layered the circles and hexagons over top

I kept with the bright colors and painted all the pieces to match!

To bring your eye to the photo I used the chevron bits to point to it.

I also wanted to the title to stand out from the other chipboard pieces so I painted it black.

Sweet Child Of Mine - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Hope you are all recovering from your Christmas food coma!!

Laura here to share my next layout!

 

"Sweet Child of Mine"

2Craty products used:

Sweet Child Of Mine

Fays Flourish

Grid Bits

Atc Music Notes

Funky Rectangle Panel

1" Hexagons

I LOVE the flow of the Fays Flourish....to me it is whimsical and has a flow like music!

I covered all the chipboard with white gesso for the hexagons I used a bit of yellow ochre brusho powder then spritzed with water.  I used a paint brush to move the colour around a bit and added more powder till I achieved the desired look.  The Grid Bits and panel I used Winterfrost distress mica stain and for the music notes I used Lyndy's cattail copper brown mist and dylusions ground coffee spray.  The flourishes I used both the ground coffee spray and winterfrost spray.

I love this title.  Its from one of best rock songs of the 80's but its a great way to describe
our son Cody.  Sweet guy but a little rock and roll too!

Totally Awesome - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi!
I am back today to share a layout I created using a school photo of our oldest many years ago.

1 inch hexagon 
Totally Awesome
Chicken Wire Panel

I inked the chicken wire panel and the title piece in the same burnt orange color and then
heat embossed the title.

Chicken Wire piece is great to stack in between layers, adds a bit of contrast without being too cumbersome on the layout.

I created clusters using the hexagons and circles that I simply inked to coordinate with the paper, 

love the effect of this combinations, great for masculine pages.

Such a fun paper range for my photos, and love the versatility of the chipboard which allowed me
to add small clusters so not to take away from the scene on the paper but still allow for some
contrast and texture that the chipboard brought to the layout.
