"His Forever Smile" Layout With Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning creative friends, 
Today I share a layout with a picture of a wonderful three year old boy named "Phoenix McKay" who tragically lost his life on september 14th. He was my cousin Jaime & Weston {her husband} their little boy and he sadly got hit by a car. For me making this layout is a way to cope with the grief I feel, but also for them to celebrate his amazing short life. 

His Forever Smile

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fine Word Set 1
His Smile
Baby Boy Title
Heart Clumps
Loopy Heart Swirl
Funky Heart Swirls
Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots
Photo Corners & Name Plates

The phrase "His Smile" I altered with some paper I used and then cut it out along the lines after that I added some brown wax on the outlines. The word "Forever" is placed on top of that phrase and was treated with two layers of white embossing powder. I did the same with the loopy heart swirl but behind the open hearts I also placed some paper form the collection I used. 

For the funky hearts swirls I spray painted them, after I treated all my chippies I used today with white gesso. I also did that with the rest of my chippies only in different colors The only pieces that I left raw is the circle arrow around the word "boy"! The big yellow flowers are handmade with fabric.  

 Hope you all liked although it was a sad one my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....

"Baby Boy" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everybody.

Here I am for my second layout for this month of April.

Here in France, we are once again confined. 

Fortunately, scrapbooking is here to change ideas.

I was inspired by this photo of a great-grandnephew born in December.

Like many babies, he had his first "photo shoot" and I fell in love with it.

"Baby Boy"

The chipboards used :

- Word "Baby Boy"

- 2020

- Love you to the Moon

- Dreamcatchers

I used this beautiful moon particle board as the main piece of my page.

I applied a coat of white gesso on each chipboards.

On the moon particle board, I applied rub-ons matching my paper 

then a coat of "Stormy Ocean" acrylic paint with a brush 

and with a slightly damp paper cloth I dabbed with acrylic paint "Mermaid Sparkle".

I also added white opal wax until I got the effect I wanted.

Under the moon I added pieces of cardboard to give relief.

For the other chipboards I did the same. 

I attached the "Dreamcatchers" chipboard under my photo and then added flowers below.

 I love this chipboard.

I embellished the title with Lindy's Gang "Silver Moon Mist" embossing powder.

Since I still had some room left, I added the particle board for the year of birth. 

It is always a good idea to add the dates.

Finally I added the stars.

I hope this page will make parents happy. 

For me, I loved making it with these splendid chipboards.

"Baby Boy" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Here I am for my second page of this month of May.

My inspiration today comes from this photo representing the round belly of my
 beautiful daughter and my little granddaughter,  who announced that I will be a
grandma for the second time and this time to a "baby boy".

"Baby Boy"

Here is the choice of 2Crafty Chipboards that I used:

- Word Baby Boy

- Doily frames

- Tangled Lamp posts

With the choice of these chipboard I chose to make a shabby page.

As always I applied a layer of white gesso on each chipboard.

I then covered them with embossing powders in the colors

of  "Bratwurst Brown" and "Pink".

Some close-ups:

To finish I applied some touches of wax which also gives a brilliant effect.

That's it for this month. 

Another good reason to scrap fantastic chipboard and wonderful events.
