"Priceless Memory" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

I am delighted to present my second inspiration of this January.

A layout with bright colors!

"Priceless Memory"

The 2Craftychipboard used:

- Priceless Memory Title

- Circle Revolutions Frames

- Leafy Shrub Set 2

I apply a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

I start my layout with the chipboard "Circle Revolutions Frames" that I simply embellish with a layer of white acrylic paint, then I place it in the center. My arrangement will be organized around him.

To embellish the chipboards 'Leafy Shrub', I use and combine inks from the brand Lindy’s Gang in different shades of green. To achieve a mixed effect I spray water. 

They are very well highlighted in my beautification cluster.

The title "Priceless Memory" is simply inked with Oxide Distress ink. 

I dissociated the title so that I could put one part on my photo and another just below.

I hope you like this layout.

Good scrap to you!

Marie

         

'Sunshine and Blue Skies' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some inspiration with you.
As we have just started SPRING (my personal favourite ;)) in our part of the world,
I thought something bright and fun would be ideal!

Sunshine and Blue Skies

2Crafty Products used:

For this layout, I have started with a bit of
a colourful splash around on my page.

I have then built up my layers,

 including one of the 'Leafy Shrub Set 2' designs,

that I have finished in a bright multicolour of paints,

 coordinated with my papers.

I have also used one of the 'Fern Leaf Set',

that I have finished in aqua paint to match. 

I have also used one of the 'Charlotte Flowers',

that I have finished in bright pink paint. 
I love how delicate these flowers are, and so pretty!

Finally, I have used the 'Sunshine & Blue Skies' title,

that I have painted in a two-tone yellow and aqua, 

to match my layout.

I love how these pieces can bring sunshine to a page!

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that this brings you some sunshine wherever you are!

Until next time!

Lisa

Dogs have a special way of adding love to every day by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

That is it, the crazy pace of every day life is back for our family. Now that the pandemic is mostly under control (fingers crossed), our evening sport activities have resumed and are taking place at an unprecedented rate! 

Our favorite furry friend is usually disappointed when his people leave the house for the evening but we found a way to make him part of all of our evenings. We make sure there's always one of us that goes with him for a long walk or a visit to the dog park while the others are at their activities, and then he tags along for the ride to pick up everyone!
His joy and love when he sees us as we get in the car is the perfect way to finish a workout!

"Dogs have a special way of adding love to every day"

On the "Frame Hearth String", I applied a coat of copper foil very roughly. 

On the "Leafy Shrub Set 2" and "Maggie's Swirl", I used two coats of teal-green embossing powder.

For the title, "Dog Saying", I used one coat of copper-and-verdigris embossing enamel.

In this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

Frame Heart String [FR0090]

Leafy Shrub Set 2 [M00494]

Maggie's Swirl [M00336]

Dogs Love saying [W00105]

That's all for me today!
I hope you enjoyed my creation and that it gave you some ideas for your own creations!
I'll be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you guys.
Until then, take care and happy crafting!

'Beauty' by Emma Zappone

Hello! Hope you all are doing ok.
Todays share is a colour combo that is a personal fave of mine.
And it features a technique that makes for an easy scrapbook page.

Here are the chipboard pieces featured......

Leafy Shrub Set2
Chunky Hearts
Crazy Circles

The background of this page is using the simple technique of smooshing oxide inks with a piece of acetate on to the white cardstock. 
And because I liked the simplicity of this page I kept the chipboard simple also with the finishes.

I primed all the chipboard pieces with white Gesso to start with. The Leafy Shrub pieces I dabbed a little Oxide Ink straight over the top of the white gesso once it was dry. The colour of the oxide really pops when over the Gesso. I also loved how your could still see the contrast of the white in sections of the chipboard.

The big Crazy Circles panel was also primed with white Gesso and then, with an old tattered brush added white crackle paste. I use an old brush for this because it adds the crackle thickly and thinly to the board without the hassle of purposely doing it. 

Then once the crackle was dry, colour was applied. I used 3 different ink sprays and a liquid acrylic to add depth to the crackle texture. Once happy with the level of colour I added just a hint of wax over some of the heavily cracked areas.
The Chunky heart on the picture has the same technique applied to it.

I hope this page has inspired you a little today.
I look forward to seeing you all again real soon.

Take care, Em xx

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!

This is my Happy Face by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

I'm back from a nice summer vacation family trip on the beaches of the US east coast and I'm in a awesome mood! I've had time to relax, recharge, enjoy great food, play play play in the sand and the water and overall spend real good time with my kids and husband! My inspiration levels are back to their peaks and I'm eager to show you what I brewed not long after being back home! 

"This is my Happy Face"

For the "Leafy Shrubs Set 2", I used a mint-green shimering gold wax paste.

On the "Aztec Arrows Set 1", I applied a pink embossing ink very roughly so we can still see the original chipboard texture through. On the "6" Circle Revolution Frames", I applied a honey colored ink and dabbed a yellow embossing ink on top of it. 

For the title, "This is my Happy Face", I used two coats of metalised jade embossing powder.
