"Sweet" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

A few days ago, Amy posted a layout in tribute to a three-year-old boy, "Phoenix", 

who died following an accident. 

He died after being hit by a car. With this photo entrusted by Amy. 

I in turn wanted to pay homage to him through a layout.

I am a mother and a grandmother. I can't even imagine the heartache this family must endure, 

without this little boy who was just asking to live.

"Sweet"

The chipboard used:

card-word-packs-friendship

loved-forever-in-our-hearts-title

frame-handdrawn-heart

acorn-foliage-set

mini-lattice-bits

      

In memory of this little boy, I created an autumnal page in warm and comforting colors.

    Each chipboard was protected with a layer of white gesso.

I chose these two beautiful "Frame Handdrawn Heart" hearts which I embellished with 

Lindy's Gang "Cowabunga Copper" ink.

I made a cluster using the "Acorn Foliage Set" chipboards, I mixed Lindy's Gang and Oxide Distress 

inks to get these beautiful colors. I layered them with cardboard to give them more relief.

The word "Sweet" is covered in white acrylic paint.

These 'Mini Lattice Bits' I just received are amazing and go so well for adding structure to the layout. They fit wonderfully.

    To finish, I added this phrase "Loved & Forever in our Hearts", which is so heartfelt.

I don't want to send a message of sadness but a lot of love.

    It was with a lot of love that I created this layout.

Happy scrapping to you!

Marie

      

"Pretty as a Picture" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everybody!

I present to you my first inspiration of this month of April, finally the beautiful
days that are coming!

A simple and colorful layout.

"Pretty as a Picture"

The 2CraftyChipboard used:

- Pretty as a Picture

- Frame Handrawn Hearts

- Leafy Silhouettes

To start, I cover my paper with a layer of transparent gesso 

and the chipboard with white gesso.

Before laying the "Frame Handrawn Hearts" chipboards, 

I embellished them with a touch of "Sweet Rose" metallic wax.

I then arranged the paper embellishments by slipping in "Leafy Silhouettes" chipboard which I embellished with "Purely White" embossing powder.

For the title also I preferred white to capture the attention...

 It reflects my idea of ​​my granddaughter in this photo! I love.

Thank you very much for your visit. 

Good scrap to you.

Marie

Tranquil moment by Sabrina turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends,

I hope you're all doing great!
Today I'm sharing a layout that's slightly outside my usual colour palettes.
However, I'm quite happy with the result! I find that the chipboards blend nicely with the background.

"Tranquil Moments"

 

For the "Doily Disc Set 1", I applied one coat of white gesso, two coats of pink sandy paint and applied a bit of black ink on the border. On the "11" Fine Floral Frame Set", I used ivory embossing enamel.

I left the "Frame Handrawn Hearts" to its natural chipboard color.

For the title, "Tranquil Moments", I inked the chipboard fully in black. Then I rubbed gold wax on top to get this shiny effect.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Doily Disc Set 1 [m00865]

11" Fine Floral Frame Set [120088]

Frame handrawn hearts [fr0082]

Tranquil Moments [w00566]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and that it'll give you some inspiration for your own creations. I'll be back in a few weeks with some ideas to share with you guys. See you soon!

"Cherished Family Memories" By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope you're having a good time!
On our side, the long winter here in Quebec is finally showing signs that it might not
last forever as the temperatures start rising above the freezing point every day
 (and hopefully we won't have winter #2 in March as sometimes happen).
This brings us a nice boost of happiness, leaving the "winter blues" feeling behind.

The layout I'm revealing today reflects that mood, with a warmer feeling,
perfect for the spring that's starting for us!

"Cherished Family Memories"

For the "Frame Handrawn Hearts", I applied one coat of red metallic paint.

On the "Aztec Flower Set 1", at the bottom left, I dabbed a red embossing ink 

then applied a gold wax on top roughly, with my hands.

On the "Heart and Circle Arrow Set", I've applied honey coloured ink.

  

Behind the picture frame, on the "Checkerboard Panel", I used a teal embossing powder.

 For the title, "Cherished Family Hearts", I used a black embossing powder with a sandy finish.

I've used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Cherished [w00568]

Frame Handrawn Hearts [fr0082]

Checkerboard Panel [660045]

Aztec Flower Set 1 [m00810]

Heart and Circle Arrow Set [m00811]

That's all for me today!
 I hope you enjoyed this and it gave you some inspiration to go create something amazing!
 I'll be back in a few weeks with some more inspiration to share with you guys.

See you soon!

A Love Story by Tammy Klingner

Hi there 2Crafty Chipboard fans!

Tam here to share today, and this one's titled:

"A Love Story"

A layout about our newest member of our family, Ziggy who we recently gave a furever home to.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

'A Love Story Title'

'Squiggly Heart Cluster'

'Frame Handrawn Hearts'

'ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars'

I applied white gesso to the 'Frame Handrawn Hearts', and the 'Squiggly Heart Cluster'  and left them at that!

I cut up the 'Squiggly Heart Cluster' and poked it around the photos.

I also applied white gesso to some of the hearts from the 'ATC Tiny Hearts and stars' pack.

Once dry, I added watercolours - the same colours as I used in the background.

For the 'A Love Story title', I did the same technique, however I let the colours blend, to give an ombre effect.

I've been doing this quite a bit lately  and I just love how it looks and I love that it ties the background and the title together.

That's it from me today, I hope you've enjoyed this painty creation!

I'll see you again next month.

Until then, I hope you throw some paint around and capture some of your stories.

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 !!
