A Christmas to remember By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi lovelies,

November is finally here and it’s means Christmas inspiration is all around.
Even though Holiday layouts are not my seasonal favorites, I like to add a few new projects
every year to my boys memory albums.
For Today’s layout is traditional with a few thematic chipboards, but not Chrismassy one, too!
A perfect mix!

A Christmas to remember

A Christmas to remember was embossed twice with Lindy’s Bouginvillea teal.
I love this deep red color!

Frame Lucy’s Flourish and Frame Maria’s are a combination of black gesso, Lucky
Emerald Icing paste, Gren Brocade and Bronze Age waxes.

I removed the swirls around Swirly Holly Decorative Set smaller pieces, covered them
with Mint Sparkle, Green Brocade and Bronze Age waxes. Pieces were glued down either
side of both frames.

Two Christmas Layouts (and a farewell) by Karine

Dear 2Crafty fans,

Karine here to share two Christmas layouts I created.

 These two layouts will be my last share for the 2Crafty team, as I decided to step down.

 My personal and professional lives are so crazy right now and I feel like I'm always
 struggling to find time to create.

 I would like to thank Vanessa for having me as part of the team for a year: 2Crafty products

 are the best and everyone on the team was always so nice and supportive. 

Thanks to the 2Crafty family: you're the best.

Here is my first layout. It is called...

" Noel"

The first piece I selected for this layout is the Holly Flourish. I think
it's by far my most favorite Christmas chipboard: it's so elegant!

I decided to emboss it with a silver embossing powder, to make it pop against my red background.

I then selected the beautiful Pointed Ornament Set.

I embossed the pieces with three colors of embossing powders: red, silver and black,
 making sure the bottom piece was in a contrasting color from the top piece.

 I love all the details of those chipboards.

My title piece is from the Christmas Mini Words Set 2.

 I embossed it again with silver embossing powder.

My second layout is called...

 "A Christmas to Remember"

Don't you love the little angel face of my boy on that picture? He was so little!

I wanted to create something with lots of snowflakes. I chose to use two sets of the
 Fine Snowflakes. I embossed them again with silver embossing powder.

I then added the Holly Twig branches in my embellishments clusters.

I painted those pieces with an acrylic paint with a metallic finish.

I love how they fit within the layout while having a different more subtle finish.

My title piece is the A Christmas to Remember piece, embossed with silver embossing powder.

I placed it on the right side of my picture.

A few flowers and embellishments to tie everything together.

I hope you like my layouts and I wish a happy holiday season for everyone
