 The first set of pages are of their wedding.

Above I have added the lovely Decorative Circle Accents with a Word Circle (together) popped into the middle and one of the Decroative Dangling Accents down the left of the photo.

Beaded Hanging Heart pieces have been used on the next few pages.

The next set of pages are of the two them over the years.

The lovely new Cherri's Border and another Decorative Dangling Accent 

More Beaded Hanging Heart and Photo Adornment -Element 3 pieces used over the next few pages.

I like continuity and used the same chipboard pieces per set of pages

The next set of pages are of their oldest daughter growing up then with her family

The next few pages I have used lots of Flourish style pieces and some foliage as well as a

couple of titles.

The next set of pages are of my husband as a child then of us as a family

For this set of pages, I used more masculine pieces and loved cutting up pieces from Decorative Panels, like the Square Collage Panel and the Bright Dot Panel

Now I've added some Mini Lattice Pieces, Circle Lace and Decorative Circle Accents

and finally, the last set of pages are of the youngest as a kid and then with his family

For these pages, I've added some Mini Funky Chunky Bits, with some more flourish pieces
 and Bubble Clumps 

I hope you have enjoyed this album and I will let you know what they think!

"Love Your Gorgeous Smile" Embroidery Hoop with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends, 
I am so happy you are visiting this blog today for this post I made a embroidery hoop. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. For this hoop I have of course used a photo of Abbey and I wanted to give you all a spring feeling with my hoop. Enjoy my post....

Love Your Gorgeous Smile: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Circle Dot Frames
Leafy Shrub Set 2
Arrow Word Set 2
Your Smile is Like Sunshine
Fine Word Set 2
Hand Drawn Flowers

I gave all the chipboard pieces two coats of white gesso and then I altered them in different ways. The title "Your Smile" was coloured with several matte acrylic paints and the word "Gorgeous"  I gave two layers of white embossing powder to make it a little shiny. I also did that with the arrow and the word "Love"

For the dotted circle frame I also altered it with matte acrylic paint & spray paints and when that was dry I added flatback crystals to match my embroidery hoop. The swirls and leaves are treated with some sprays, metallique paints & posca pens in different colours. I finished of my hoop by adding some white spray.
