"Capture the moment" Layout and video by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

For my first for March, I created this layout using photos taken at Monument Valley during my son and daughter-in-law’s honeymoon trip in December 2024.

The desert landscapes, warm tones and wide open skies were my main inspiration for this page.

I chose a horizontal layout with three photos for a clean and balanced composition, allowing the photos and chipboards to really shine.

"Capture the moment"

A video of this layout is also available if you’d like to see the details up close.

The chipboard used:

capture-the-moment-title
mini-title-stick-set-6
steampunk-gear-border
travel-icon-set
page-tab-set
steampunk-gears-medium

As usual, I started by applying a layer of white gesso. I worked with a warm and natural color palette using Distress Oxide Stormy Sky, Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, with a few subtle touches of Spiced Marmalade.

I chose papers from the Wanderlust Explorer collection by 49 and Market, as their soft, natural tones blend beautifully with the photos and the colors used on the chipboards.

The Steampunk Gear Border is a key element of this layout. I used it as a base under the photos to add movement and structure. I first applied Stormy Sky as a base to give a cool, slightly metallic look, then added Vintage Photo sprayed with water to create a soft, patinated effect. This layering adds depth while keeping everything cohesive.

The Steampunk Gears Medium were colored in the same shades to complete the look.

I created a small cluster using the Page Tab Set chipboard, adding a subtle detail that balances the composition and guides the eye.

I added elements from the Travel Icon Set to enhance the story of travel and adventure, keeping their colors soft and muted so they blend naturally into the design.

The Capture the moment title was colored in warm tones to blend perfectly with the desert colors, while the small Road Trip title reinforces the travel theme.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your interest in this project. 

Feel free to watch the video to discover all the details of the layout.

"Capture the MOMENT" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone, 

I present my second inspiration to you. 

I chose to make a page with this school photo of my little girl.

"Capture the MOMENT"

The 2Craftychipboards used:

- Capture the MOMENT Title

- Clock Face Frames

- Numbers Panels

- Luggage

- 2019

- 2020

- Flowering Clusters

I applied a coat of white gesso on the "Capture the Moment, 

Clock Face Frames and Flowering Clusters" chipboards.

I then embellished with Lindy's Gang embossing powder in the color

 "Oom Pah Pah Pink" for the title and "Stardust Candy Rose" for the others.

For "Numbers Panels, Bagages and Years" I applied a layer of black gesso, 

then "Raven Black" acrylic paint and touches of waxes in several shades 

to achieve this vintage effect.

This "Luggage" chipboard is fantastic. 

I added these essential date chipboards for school photos.

I added paper embellishments and flowers but the chipboards 

are still very prominent. I love!

And that's it, I hope you liked it and gave you some inspiration.

Capture the Moment - Karan Gerber

Hello friends and welcome to the 2 Crafty Blog today, 

Its Karan Gerber to host the 2 Crafty blog and I have a layout to share with you.

I love using the leafy shrubs and vines and I have used two different ones on this project.

I used a few chipboard pieces on this project and happy with the way it turned out. 

The above photo is how it looks at a glance, the details are amazing.

The leafy shrub was embossed with lime green embossing powder then I dabbed a bit of Hazlenut Metalique Paint on them 

The title was done the same way, heat embossed with lime green baked embossing powder and dabbed with Hazlenut metal paint. The leafy vine I used and tangled in between the flowers in the upper corner. 

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

Capture the Moment with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty Fans!

It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you. 

My latest creation is featuring a photo of my children and I.

It started as a pic of my daughter and I, and we were photo bombed,

 quite perfectly, by my son! 

It was the perfect capture. 

Anybody that know me, know I LOVE a black background.... 

and it makes my chipboard stand out and shine!

So, for this layout I have used a number of the 'View Finder' chipboard pieces, 

these come in different sizes so are awesome for layering.

I have finished my 'View Finders' in white gesso, which gives a great matte finish.

I have then used watercolours to partially colour them in colours to co-ordinate with my papers.

I have layered some in my paper layers.

I have also used one of the 'Assorted Mini Camera Set' and one of

 the 'Assorted Arrows'.  I have embossed these in white.

Finally I have used 'Capture the Moment' as my title,

which I have also embossed in white. I love how it pops off the black background.

I hope you like what I have created. 

I'll be back very soon with some more inspiration.

March inspirations by Lilibleu

Hello 2Crafty fans!

This is Lilibleu here today, giving you my March projects.

For the first one - that I titled "Capture The Moment" - I wanted to make a page with spring colors. I found on Pinterest a very nice photo of this little girl which matched perfectly with the colors and atmosphere I wanted.

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Capture The Moment title 

- Angies Vines 

-Ariel Spray

- Circle Lace Panel  

- Pointed Doily Frames 

My title "Capture The Moment" is embossed with black powder to make it stand out on my page.

The chipboards "Circle Lace Panel" and "Ariel Spray" are painted with purple metallic paint and the chipboard "Pointed Doily Frames" is painted with yellow metallic paint to perfectly respect the combo of colors I chose for my project.

The chipboard "Angies Vines" is also painted with metallic purple paint. 

To make my page I used the combo of colors proposed by Lindy's Gang

"Adorable"

To realize this second project, I took inspiration from More Than Words' March challenge. I used a photo of my youngest, now 9 years old. I love this picture, I find him so cute as I watch him sleeping quietly, "comfortably" on his favorite blanket.

2Crafty Chipboards used :

- Frame Handrawn Hearts

- word Adorable Script

- Cassie's Flourishes

- 6 Clock Face Frames

The title "Adorable" is embossed with black powder to bring it out.

To respect the combo of colors, I left the other chipboards natural. They are already so beautiful that they don't need anything more.

I love the big size and the vegetal design of the chipboard "Cassie's Flourishes".

Here is the visual of the March Challenge proposed by More Than Words:

See you next month !!
