May Inspiration - Layout- VIDEO TUTORIAL -Katja/Mezzanotte

"Happy"
PLUS a Video tutorial

Happiness is to create and also to create with old vintage family photos. It is a lovely way 
 to cherish memories. Here in this photo you can see my grandmother and she looks really
 happy. I dont know the year. But it is my way to cherish the memories.

 I have created some texture on the background and around the photo I have
 used some lovely 2Crafty Chipboard.

I have used the "Frame Celias Flourish" around the photo.

 The chipboard title "Happy  Loopy" is very useful to many projects.
 And behind my frame you  see "Flower Doilies 3"

 Also the leaves "Leafy Silhouettes" are gorgeous and I love
 when they are sticking out from the paperflowers.

"Create"

I have made a small album, love small books to be creative in.

So the title "Create" is from the "Arrow word Set" is perfect for my mini album, and of
 course we need to have a butterfly, "Addys Butterflies" with some gesso and also some glitter.

The border is from a set "Lacey Border Set" and it match the canvas.

March Inspiration By Debbie

Hi everyone!
 Debbie here with you today with my March layouts. This post is lengthy as I have
 three layouts to share along with a photo tutorial..

"Together"

My first layout I made for a special friend of mine which features lots of 2Crafty Chipboard!
 I based it off the current challenge over at More Than Words March Challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Foliage Cluster
Frame Celia's
Mini Word Set 2
Leafy Shrub Set 2

I love the mixture of embossing powders I used on the Foliage Cluster and Frame Celia's,
 a mixture of black and bright blue.

Tucked beneath the flowers I used a piece from the Leafy Shrub Set 2,
embossed with a couple shades of green.

I kept the title simple, applying some pink ink. It is part of the Mini Word Set 2.

"Precious"

My second layout features a sweet vintage picture of a little girl I found on Pinterest. I'm guest designing at 'Picture This Challenges' this month and created the layout for their March challenge.

2Crafty Chipboard Used:

Climbing Rose Bush
Mini Word Set 2
Lacey Border

I embossed the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard with a mushroom powder and cut it into
 a few pieces and placed it on both side of the picture.

I used a piece from the Lacey Border Set which I cut into four pieces and embossed  with a
 mixture of Mushroom and Pink embossing powders and placed the pieces around the picture.

Here you can see more of the Climbing Rose Bush chipboard.



My third layout includes a picture tutorial.
 I ran into some technical difficulties at video taping.

"Magical"

I found this photo on Pinterest and was felt like I was taken to a magical place.

I have not quite yet mastered the art of video tutorials, so I have a
step by step photo process for you:....

Step 1:  Spray background paper with blue and brown mists.
 Add paint splatters and some random stamping.

Step 2:  Emboss chipboard pieces.

Step 3:  Adhere decorative transparency and some of the
chipboard pieces.

Step 4:  Add picture, flowers and feather.

Step 5:  Add additional chipboard pieces and more flowers.

Step 6:  Add additional feather, butterflies and chipboard title
along with some microbeads and glass glitter.


I hope I have inspired you today.
Thanks for stopping by!
