"Tons of Fun with SpongeBob SquarePants" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog.
 In our summer vacation we went to movie park Germany with the kids as Abbey loves SpongeBob SquarePants & Paw Patrol and Kevin loves rollercoasters and scary stuff. We went there for two days with a sleep in a hotel nearby, we had a lot of fun seeing our kids this happy. Off course Abbey wanted to be on a picture with SpongeBob and I wanted to scrap that right away so I did! 
Enjoy my post....

Tons of Fun with SpongeBob SquarePants: 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Frame Chained Circles
Filmstrips Medium
Hinges Pack
Mini Title Stick Set 3
Foliage Set 16  
Fine Word Set Months 
Word Circle Set 2
2025's

All the chipboard pieces but the word "august" & "foliage set 16" are altered with black gesso then I added some yellow acrylic paint on the filmstrip and top part of the circle "tons of fun"with a sponge on the other pieces I added some sea glass metallique wax and white gesso. The word august is just altered with some white acrylic paint without a primer like gesso.

 Behind the tons of fun circle I placed a piece of paper the same as the middle part of my layout. The foliage set 16 I just used my twinmarkers on and later added some white acrylic paint. The phrase that smile from the mini title stick set 3 I added some white faber castell pen on to make it pop a little more. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"Summer Days" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.

How great of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my first layout for the month of August. I am so glad I have my mojo back I bought a lot of papers lately which I didn't need too, since I have lots of papers lol... but I know every scrapbooker & mixed media artist wants to have the newest lines if can. This layout is also a summery one with some of the newest prima papers and a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. 
Enjoy my post....

Summer Days: 

Beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Fine Stem Frames 
Seagulls
Palm Leaves Set
Summer Days
Mini Word Set 2
Flourish Set 5
Seaweed Set
Seashells Set 2

All the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are treated with my big pot of white gesso. Then I used a couple of my aqua/alcohol twin markers for all my pieces but the word "adore" on that one I used some white embossing powder. 

The design I did for this layout is one of my own I made a couple of years back when I was in the 49 and Market design team. I sometimes love to look at my old scrapbook layout to get inspired from but not only mine but all creative souls there are in this industry. 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"My Sunshine August 2023" with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends, 

I am so happy you are visiting this blog today for this post I made a layout again. 
For this layout I have used tons of amazing chippies and a picture of Abbey on the beach in Greece August 2023. For this layout I have used the pretty new beach paper collection called {the beach is calling} by the other company I design for. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. 
 I had so much fun creating this layout that I am going to make another one hahaha enjoy my post...

My Sunshine August 2023:  

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Intricate Seahorses
Your Smile is Like Sunshine Title
Seaweed Set 1
Seashells Set 2
Reeds
2023's
Photo Adornment Flynn's Flourish
Photo Adornment Larinda's Flourish
Thin Square Stacked Frames
Industrial Spring Set
Achor & Buoy Set
Fine Word Set - Months

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

All the chipboard pieces are treated with white gesso on the seashells I used some matte acrylic paint and on the edges I added some brown wax to mimic the rocks in the picture. I couldn't help myself while I was creating this layout I kept on adding more and more chippies. I cut out the word "Sunshine" out of the beautiful phrase "Your Smile is Like Sunshine Title" but firstly I wanted to use the whole phrase but it became to cluttered on my work so I left the rest out. 

On the photo adornments & reeds I added some white crackle paste and later I added some spray paint and matte acrylic paints to make them look a little weathered. The word sunshine was coloured in three different colors white, light blue and dark blue to match my layout. 

The seahorse I coloured in three different colors I used some waxes & several acrylic paints. On the backgound of my layout I added some coloured crackle paint which I coloured with magicals powders. I also altered the flowers myself to fit my layout and in the end I added some white spray paint, art stones & some antique jewels.

"Wonderful Memory of You" by Amy Voorthuis

Hi there lovely 2Crafty fans,

It's a lovely day to visit the blog because I have another layout to share with you all. What I really love about 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are that they are so delicate and swirly which makes your layouts & other works so romantic and I am a sucker for romance and hearts. 

Wonderful Memory of You: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Mini Word Set 3
Memory of You
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Frame Handrawn Hearts
Squiggly Heart Cluster 
Leafy Shrub Set 1

I just can't stop creating in purple colors since it is my favorite color lol, this layout was made with the pretty "Spring Purple" collection. All the chippies are painted with one layer of white gesso then I painted the "Memory of You" phrase with some purple acrylic paint then I added some transparant crackle paste and some wax when it was dry.

I painted the Leafy Shrub Set 1 with some green acrylic matte paint and then I added some wax and purple impasto paint. I also added some hearts from the "Steampunk Hearts" mould by Finnabair which I painted with black gesso en pruple wax. In the end I added some pearle on the leafy set to give it more demension. The flowers are all handmade and I did a lot of fussy cutting as well.

Much love and happy crafting...
