"Daddy's Gorgeous Girl" by Amy Voorthuis

Hello lovely 2Crafty fans,

Welcome on this wonderful blog, today I am showing you a layout with a bunch of gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard pieces. I am a massive fan of making beach & wintery layouts this time I chose a beach one, with a picture of Abbey and her bucket full of shells. The papers I used are by Maja Design and are two different collections. The picture was taken last year, Abbey loves the beach and she always says "it's sunny on the beach mommy" you have to put sunscreen on me. 

Daddy's Gorgeous Girl:

 2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Daddy's Girl
Breanna's Swirl
Frame Lucy's Flourish
Frame Celia's Flourish
Fine Word Set 2
Fishing Net Bits

Firstly I coated all the chipboard pieces with a thin layer of white gesso, then I used a couple of different acrylic & liquid paints to cover my chipboard pieces. On some of them I dabbed a darker brown paint randomly and others I used waxes on. 

On the background I did some mixed media such as stamps, inks and sprays and I finished of my layout by adding some art stones, sea shells, flairs {long time ago since I used them} and some word strips. I also used some metal pieces.

This Boy - Layout by Karan Gerber

Hi Friends, welcome to my blog today.
Its Karan here to host the 2 Crafty Chipboard Blog today 

and I have layout to share with you.

I just love the titles, and This Boy is a wonderful example of the awesome detail in these titles.

 I applied a coat of clear embossing powder and heat set with Baked Texture Azura Sea Embossing powder. I love the colour it turned out to be. 

The small banner "Memories"  from the ATC word Banner Set 2,  I colored in the letters with a black fine tip market and went over with clear wink of stella to add some shimmer. I also detailed the banner with a black marker too. 

I wanted to color Breannas Swirl as close to the 49 and Market blooms as i could, so i dabbed them with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Maze embosssing powder and dabbed a bit of Ancient Amber onto it while it was still hot. 

I cut the Swirl in half and used part at the bottom of my flower layers and on the side of my flower layers peeking out from under neath the paper layers. 

This is designed using some of their fabulous chippies and papers are from 

49 and Market Remnants Collection.

I hope you enjoyed my project today and thank you for dropping by!

Happy Scrapping!

Hi everyone!
 Debbie here with you today from the other end of the world, the United States. 

I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing design team and look forward to sharing my
 creations with you.

"Just Love Our Story"

I love to create romantic, shabby chic layouts with lots of layering, mixed media flowers and of course chipboard! I started off by adding some inking to the background paper along with some masking in pink and copper tones.

2 Crafty Chipboard used:
Just Love Our Story - title
Ella's Border
Ava's Frame
Addy's Butterflies

I used several pieces of chipboard here, 2 of Addy's Butterflies and Ava's Frame.
 All were heat embossed with a mixture of copper, pink and antique taupe embossing powders.
 I added some peony pink stenciling mousse as well on the pieces.

On the right hand side of my layout I used the Ella's border chipboard treated in the same fashion as the butterflies and frames.  I added some copper microbeads.

I love to mix embossing powders.
  My title is a combination of pink and antique taupe powders.
Love the aged look!


"Don't Let Anyone Ever Dull Your Sparkle"

I love this photo of a dear friend's daughter.
 She has such a sweet smile. I added some pink ink along with some light misting
 on the background along with some snowflakes.

Breanna's Swirl
Flower Doilies
Don't Let Anyone Ever Dull Your Sparkle - title
Brooke's Swirls

On both sides of the photo I used a flower doily chipboard embossed pink.  Beneath my flower cluster is one of Brooke's Swirls  embossed with icicle powders and tiny silver microbeads.

The right of my photo I placed a flower doily chipboard along with Breanna's Swirl chipboard, embossed with icicle powder and tiny silver microbeads.

Love this title!  A perfect compliment to the sweet photo.  I embossed with light pink and icicle embossing powers.  I added some paint splatters to the background paper along with some bling.

Well, that's it for now.  I hope I have inspired you!
