and have included some beautiful 2 Crafty Chipboard.....

Large Tribal Arrow

Personally - I am obsessed with these phrase sets ...  

 when I am wanting to add a title but without the bulkiness

as the usual titles...  I think these are  GREAT!!!

Did the same to the Large Tribal Arrow

A light coat of gesso then inking light with

pale blue, before adding the 'Love life with you'

phrase set attaching it with foam tape...

 I then decided to add this lock 

I first inked lightly with rose gold ink then, 

cut the chain element and placed lock with foam tape..

The rest of chipboard pieces - 

Bead heart border, Mini Camera and Flourish

I have given them a couple of coats of gesso 

before adhering them to my page...

I'm really happy with the end result of this page...

'Daddy's Girl Forever' Layout by Rachael Funnell

Hello everyone!

Rach back with you all today, sharing this layout I created 

using some FABULOUS 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces....

Daddy's girl - Title

6x6 Crazy stitched panel

Mini Camera

Fine word Forever from set 1 

2018

For my 'Daddy's Girl' title I started by giving it a coat of gesso &

once it had dried, I coloured it using some 'Cracked Pistacho' &

 'Spun Sugar' Distress Crayons..

I then inked the fine word "Forever" with black ink

and incorporated this in my title...

Using a larger Camera from the Mini Camera set

and with a dry paint brush, I ever so lightly painted on the gesso, 

making sure not to loose any of the camera delicate details..

Finishing off the Camera by inking the edges black!

The 2018 I gave it two thick coats of gesso before 

colouring it with the same distress Crayon 'Spun Sugar'. 

Lastly the 6x6 Crazy Stitched Panel,

I first gave it a coat of gesso, & once dry I cut it up 

into lots of smaller pieces and glued them randomly

 on my onto the base....

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope I have inspired you 

 in some way!!!

Until next time  xx

"Life Documented"

2 Crafty Chipboard Pieces used:

"Life Documented"

"Mini Cameras"

"Mini Hot Air Balloons"

"Small Postage Stamp Set"

As is with most scrapbookers, the journey is often about documenting life. I often 

forget to take photos of not just my loved ones but myself with my loved ones. This is my

 mum, my daughter and myself on Christmas day 2014 and now I can say that this part of 

my life is documented! Hence the title "Life Documented". I simply painted it black.

I love to use the "Mini Camera's" when I'm showcasing a photo I like. They fit in no 

matter what the theme. This little one was given a coat of gesso and then a sprinkling of

 pigment powder and once it was dry, I did a little bit of drawing on it with a black marker.

The "Mini Hot Air Balloon" is adorable and adds to the idea of life being a grand adventure!

 I think I'd really like to take a balloon ride one day. Note to self ..... add to list of things to do!

 I've altered it exactly the same as I did the "Mini Camera" with a couple of flicks over the top.

The next item from 2 Crafty is this gorgeous little "Small Postage Stamp Frame". I did

 a similar process as I did with the "Hot Air Balloon" and the "Mini Camera", except 

this time I used different coloured pigment powders.

This was a really fun layout to create!

Next up I made a simplistic layout of my beautiful daughter Kaity.

"Perfection"

2 Crafty Chipboard Pieces Used:

"Wildflower Set"

"Perfection"

"Butterfly Frames"

I have to say that one of my favourite flower sets EVER is this gorgeous "Wildflower Set".

 It is so versatile and not too flowery but rather more shrubby looking. I choose a couple of

 pieces that suited the layout and left them raw then simply stamped over them with a text stamp. 

I may be biased but I believe my daughter is the most beautiful girl around! She is "Perfection" 

in my eyes, now to just work on her attitude! LOL No seriously, she's a dream of a daughter

 and I love spending time with her when we can, which is not very often anymore seeing she

 lives over 500kms away. I cherish her "Selfies" more than ever now. I simply white heat 

embossed the word "Perfection" and added it as my title.

I wanted to add a little touch of femininity to the layout so I picked this little "Butterfly Frame" 

and added it to the corner of the photo. I didn't want it a heavy black as I felt that would distract 

from the other features on the layout, so I just dabbed a little bit of ink pad over it to give it a

 slight black coverage. Love the effect I got!

  So that's me for another month. How quickly time is passing all ready this year.  I'll be back again same time next month with some more inspirational pieces for you. Thanks for popping in XX
