You Will Always Be - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!
Laura back today to share my next layout.

2Crafty Products Used:

You Will Always be
6" Wrought Iron Border
Foliage Set 13
Lattice Leaves
4.5 Flourish Doily

This layout was one of the hardest I have done but I love how it turned out.
  This photo of my parents hands was taken on their 60th wedding anniversary just a
few months before my dad passed away from dementia.

After prepping the chipboard with white gesso I painted the wrought iron border and the
 doily with light pink paint.  I have used the border underneath the photo and the 
doily tucked into the right hand side of the photo.

I inked the leaves with mellow moss ink and tucked amongst the flowers.

I also inked the title with same ink then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  To add a bit of drama to the title I applied a bit of gold liquid pearl with my finger.

This title could not have been more perfect for this memory.

Hope you are inspired to get crafting your special moments, even if they bring a touch of sadness
they are important ones to document.

Thank you for stopping by

that I finished with white embossing powder. 

 

 

I also tucked in one of the branches from 'Foliage Set 13',

also finished with white embossing powder.
 

I also used one of the 'Lattice Leaves',

which I finished in pale blue to match my papers,
and tucked into the top corner. 

 

 

On the right side of my page I used another of the
 branches from 'Foliage Set 13', 
also embossed in white. 

 

I also used two of the 'Bush Nut Stems',

also finished in pale blue to match my colour scheme.

'So Sweet' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some
 scrappy inspiration with you. 

'So Sweet'

 2Crafty products used:

 'Foliage Set 13'
'Foliage Set 15'
'So Sweet Title' 

 

 

For this layout, I started with a bit of a mixed media background page.
I used some of the 'Foliage Set 13' and 'Foliage Set 15' pieces, 

which I have given a green shimmer finish to.  

 

 

I used these tucked into my paper layers,

mixing them with some of the
 die-cut elements from my papers. 

 

 

I also used the 'So Sweet Title',

which I finished with the same green shimmer as the foliage pieces.  

 

 

I really love how easy these foliage pieces are to use in my layouts,

they add some great texture and are easy to tuck into my papers. 

 

 

This is one of my favourite photos, with my sweet boy!
I hope that you like what I have created.

 

Until next time!

Mother & Daughter by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania popping in today to share the second of my DT projects for May. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

"Mother & Daughter"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*11" Circle Revolution Frames

*Foliage Set 13

*Mother & Daughter Script Title

*Photo Adornment - Decorative Rod Set 2

I have used the beautiful 49 & Market 'Whispering Way' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first painted all the chippie pieces with a couple of coats of gesso.  I then mixed some Mustard Heidi Swapp Color Shine with more gesso to tone down the colour and then painted all the chippies pieces again.  I then went over the Mother & Daughter chippie title with another coat of gesso. 

To construct my page I tucked my photo into the Circle Revolution Frame chippie and placed it to the left side of the page.  I then embellished around my photo with fussy cut flowers from the Mintay Flora Book 8 and paper blooms.  I cut one of the Photo Adornment - Decorative Rod chippies in half and tucked one half into the top of my embellishment cluster and the other half along the bottom right side of the embellishment cluster.  I tucked in the Foliage chippies amongst the paper blooms and finished off my page by adding the Mother & Daughter title to the bottom right of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

I Love You - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back today to share a fun and whimsical layout I created for my husbands childhood album.

2Crafy Products Used

Love You Balloons
ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars
Foliage Set 13
Sequins Negative

The two cuties in the photo are my husband and his sister when they were little.  After prepping the chipboard with gesso I painted them with white acrylic paint

I added the hearts randomly to the clusters of fussy cut images

The fussy cut images of the two bears were too cute and the I Love You balloon was perfect not only for the title but it looks like they are holding it together!

Thanks for stopping by
