"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....

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.

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.

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.

"Tiny Fingers Tiny Toes" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

 Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friend.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my first layout for the month of July. A while back I posted a layout of sweet little Phoenix {Jaime my cousin} her boy who tragically lost his life way to soon. The moment that happened Jaime was pregnant with a baby boy who was born on April 1st 2025, this was such a happy moment after such tragedy. His name is Bowden Dylan and I made a layout of this cute baby boy who looks so much like his big brother. 
Enjoy my post....

Tiny Fingers Tiny Toes:

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used:

Fine Word Set - Months
Baby Pram Set
Filigree Arrows
6" Circle Revolution Frames
Circle Heart Frames

I just love all the new chipboard pieces, especially those cute heart balloons with that "Love You" text you can use those on every layout you create it is so versatile. I treated the chippies with some white gesso and some of my aqua/alcohol twin markers. Which is so super easy if you don't want it to dark you use the aqua and if you want it a shade darker you use the alcohol markers. 

It was a long time ago that I created and I missed it so much. I cut the cute tittle here so it would fit my layout and I put the heart in my flower cluster on the bottom of that cute picture. By the way I spray painted the pretty new leaves {love them a lot my new favorite} 

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....

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.

How wonderful of you all to stop by the blog, for today I have 10"decorative panel that I altered, 2Crafty Chipboard has bunch of them and this is my third that I worked with and I have to tell you they are absolute amazing. I made this for my aunt because it's a picture with little phoenix who sadly lost his life in September 2024. They where on a hiking trail and they had a blast here, I wanted to give her a reminder off the good times they had.

First I started with altering the 10" decorative panel with some white gesso and white matte acrylic paint. Then I used some brown matte acrylic paint and three color waxes red, white & brown. The Elousia frame I treated with my alcohol markers in two colors red and then I used some gesso on it and some brown wax.  

The old fence was treated with two colors of brown spray ink and when that was totally dry I added a woodgrain stamp on it. The field mushroom & cattail shrubs are painted with my aqua & alcohol markers and I finished them with a brush stroke of white matte wax.
