"Those Eyes That Smile" Layout by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration for this month of August. 

A layout inspired by this photograph of my grandson.

I really like scraping on themes, but in this context, my main goal is to highlight the decoration with embellishments, flowers and, of course, beautiful chipboards.

"Those Eyes That Smile"

The chipboard used:

those-eyes-that-smile

thin-hexagon-stacked-frames

foliage-set-7

 

First, I apply a layer of white gesso to each chipboard.

The "thin hexagon stacked frames" chipboard is ideal for matching the prints in the "Botanical Buzz" paper collection. It is embellished with Lindy's Gang "Café au Lait" embossing powder.

On the right side of my photograph, I created an embellishment cluster and added "Foliage Set 7" chipboards by inserting them on either side of the bouquet. I chose the color "Desert Moon Turquoise."

I love the close-up!

I think I made the right choice by choosing this title. 

It is simply covered with white gesso.

Thank you very much for your visit.

Marie

       

"You" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friend.

How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty blog, this is my second layout for the month of July. This time it's a layout of my husband who started his own company this may. After two of his former employments went bankrupt he had enough. His last job was fixing electric bikes for the company STELLA. Now he does the same but for himself his company's name is JEBT, Vanessa the boss lady was kind enough to make his bike logo in chipboard which I used on this layout.

 Enjoy this post....

YOU:

All the chipboard pieces are treated with white gesso, some with rust paste or my wonderful markers and waxes. Don't you just love those bikes?? I only left the words and year 2025 white with acrylic paint. 

I coloured the amazing bikes with my green aqua markers and matted the bikes with some of the papers I used in my layout. Then I added two different matte waxes brown & white. I couldn't not add flowers it's so hard not too lol 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

“It’s A Love Thing”Layout By Di Garling

 Hello there 2Crafty friends. Di Garling back with you again

with another layout to hopefully inspire you
& naturally I have used some great pieces

 of our favourite 2Crafty Chipboard.

I am also releasing this layout as a KIT.

2Crafty Chipboard Used…

“It’s A Love Thing”- title

6” Tahnya’s Border

Foliage Set #15

Doiley Disc Set #1

This layout has sooo many wonderful textural elements,

from the flowers, to the corrugated, to the fishnet mesh, the
string bow, art stones and more.

The chipboard is definitely the icing on the cake !!

All of the chipboard was firstly given a coat of white acrylic paint

to act a basecoat, & then both the title & the chipboard doiley were

then wiped over with some blue Distress Ink & some water for effect.

The beautiful "Tahnya's Border" I simply left white &
 added it to the side of my photo. It is such a stunning piece!!

Next came the beautiful NEW release foliage pieces.

I simply gave them a light inking with some 

brown Distress Ink. Doesn't get much easier than that !!

Well that’s all I have for you today.

I AM RELEASING THIS LAYOUT AS A KIT.

'Just You' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some bright 
summery scrappy inspiration with you on this winter's day. 

2Crafty products used:

 'Just You' title

'Pretty Dandelions'

'Foliage Set 10'

'Shrub Set 1' 

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Pretty Dandelions', 
which I have embossed white and 
then added a clear rainbow sparkle to the ends.  

 

 

I also used one of the 'Shrub Set 1',
 that I have embossed in buttercream yellow,
 and layered with the dandelion piece.

 

 

I also used a couple of pieces from 'Foliage set 10', 
that I have embossed in the same yellow. 

 

To finish, I have embossed the 'Just You' title, 

in the buttercream yellow, and adhered to my page. 

 

 

A bit of bright sunshiney goodness on a cold day.

I hope that you like what I have created,
 and that it brought some warmth into your day.

 

Until next time,

 

Lisa

 

Let's Explore Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I'm lucky enough to be able to present you with a third inspiration for this July.

A summery layout featuring a sandbar, the sea, and a photograph of my granddaughter
playing in the sand.

"Let's Explore"

The chipboard used:

lets-explore

dotted-polaroid-frame

corner-crackle

seaweed-set-1

      

I apply a layer of white gesso to each chipboard, then use Distress Oxide inks to decorate them.

I start with the "antique linen" shade for this original frame titled "dotted polaroid frame."

To add depth to the overall effect, I raise the frame with cardboard.

I use a piece from "seaweed set 1" that I stain with "vintage photo" and "walnut stain" to give it a wood look. They look alike, don't they?

The bottom of the layout is completed with a "corner crackle" chipboard and a title made with a mix of "peacock feathers" and "salty ocean" colors.

I love transforming these particle boards.

Thank you very much, see you soon!

Marie

      

today by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone. Glad you could drop by.

Today I'm sharing my last layout for the month of July. Can you believe it's almost August already? Before you know it, Summer will be over (or Winter for all of you down under) and it will be Christmas!  I swear, the older I get, the faster time flies.

Anyway, today's layout is very feminine. Seems that's my jam. I've tried to create masculine layouts, but I have to, and I mean HAVE to use flowers on my layouts. It just doesn't work for me when I try flowers on a masculine layout. Some people can make it rock, I'm not one of them! So I'll just stick with what I can do... feminine layouts.

today

2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:

Bubble Clumps

Squiggly Circle Arrow Journaling Spots

today - Loopy Font

As always, I prime my chipboard with Gesso. A good habit to get into I think.

I love these little Bubble Clumps. I think they add just the right amount of whimsy. I've added a small piece under the flowers at the top right. I painted with the 'Disco' color from the Prima Shimmering Lights Water Color Set.

Here at the bottom of the photo on the left is one of the bigger Bubble Clump pieces. This was painted the same way as the one up on the right. I chose this color to play off the color of the flowers, and also the color of her shirt. I try to use at least one of the colors in the photo to match the embellishments with. I think it flows better.

These Squiggle Circle Arrow Journaling Spots are fabulous!! I have used them a few times before  because I love them! They are so unique and add soooo much interest. I have also added a clock behind them before as well. Why? Because it works. These little squiggles were made to house a clock. This was also painted with 'Disco' from the Prima Shimmering Lights Watercolor Set.

I kept the title simple, just using one word. I painted today with White Acrylic Paint. Just a very light coat of paint so as to not be too stark of a white. I wanted it to be 'not solid white' just like the frames around the photos. Make sense?

Well, that's it for me today. I hope I've inspired you to create feminine layouts if you don't already. If you are a masculine layout scrapper, I envy you! Maybe you could give me some pointers!

Until next time

Journey By Charmane Sharp

 

While in Athens we dined next to an old train all decked out in its

original vintage glamour. Therefore an elegant vintage feel was 

required for my layout.

2crafty Chipboard used...

Photo Adornment- Element set 3

Fine Word set 3

Corner Jacqui's Flourish

Large Berry Stem

I cut the top off the Element piece and placed the smaller bit under the left

flowers and the larger piece on the right. They add some elegance with their

detail. They were coloured with Distress oxides Aged Mahogany and

lightened with Picket Fence sponged on for contrast.

My title was heat embossed in White so it would stand out on top of the

shades of Pink.

After fussy cutting the frame out I placed another Element piece behind

it for a unique embellishment that I love. Such a cute idea.

Adding some ornateness to the corner of the frame is Jacqui's Flourish.

It was coloured with Distress Oxide Tattered Rose and Picket Fence for

 colour variance. Then I stamped with Versamark and a texture stamp. 

Heat embossed with Wow Dappled pink.

I cut the second one into two pieces so one was added to each side

of my layout coming out from the fussy cut cluster along with pieces

of the Large Berry Stem. They were coloured with Aged Mahogany 

mixed with Picket Fence for a lighter shade and some Picket Fence

sponged on once dry.

By cutting the Berry Stem into various sizes I was able to add details

around the layout easily. I hope you can see by cutting your chipboard

you can have more to play with. My papers are by Scrapandme.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...
