Family Forever & Always by Sabrina Turpin

 Ho Ho Ho 2Crafty friends!

It's that jolly time of the year as we're finally nearing the end of this 2020 year! Snow has arrived here in Quebec and it's beautiful walking outside with all the houses illuminated and reflecting in the white snow. It's also my favorite time of the year for crafting, in a comfy sweater with a nice hot tea after playing outside in the snow; it's so therapeutic and relaxing. Speaking of sweaters, today's layout features me and my daughter wearing our matching Christmas sweaters!

"Family Forever & Always"

On the "Leafy Shrub Set 2", I used an ivory embossing enamel then 

I rubbed some gold wax on top of it. 

On the "Foliage Set 6", I applied two coats of red embossing ink then

 rubbed a gold wax again on top.

For the "Frame Botanical", I applied an antique gold embossing enamel. 

On the title, "Family forever & always", I used two coats of black embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Frame Botanical [fr00122]
Foliage Set 6 [m00856]
Leafy Shrub Set 2 [m00494]
Family Forever & Always [w00125]

That's all for me today! 

I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it will give you some inspiration for your own creations. 

I wish you the best holiday season ever, as I believe each and every one of you deserves it. 

See you soon in 2021!

April Inspiration by Sabrina

Hello 2Crafty fans,

It is my turn to share my projects for April.
My first project puts my hubby and I in the spotlight.
 Even after 18 years together, we're still in love. 

"Love is in the Air"

For the title, "Love is in the Air", I used a gold embossing powder

 which really makes the text stand out.

I applied a pink metallic embossing enamel on the "Ava's Frame"

 that blends well with the background.

I first painted the "Climbing rose bush" with a black matte paint.

 When dried, I applied a gold embossing ink.

I used a silver metallic paint on the "Fancy Damask", diluted with water. 

Then, on top of the paint, I applied a pink embossing ink.

For this project, I used the following awesome chipboards:

Ava's Frame (FR0096)

Climbing Rose Bush (DB0100)

Fancy Damask (M00564)

Love is in the Air (W00418)

"Family Forever & Always"

The second project I want to show you today is quite special for me. I did the 

"Family forever & always" layout as a gift for a close friend, hard-working

 mom of three that just graduated from university.

On the "handdrawn feathers", I applied a red-gold embossing powder.

To give this nice rusty look to the "Hearth Clumps", I used a red ink,

 then applied some gold-copper embossing ink on top.

Finally, on the title "Family forever & always", I applied a white-pink embossing enamel.

For this layout, I used the 2Crafty Chipboards:

Handrawn Feathers (M00588)

Heart Clumps (M00576)

Family Forever and always (W00125)

That's all for this month! I hope these inspire you to create as much

 as I had fun doing them for you! See you next month!
