Simple Moments for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

  Goodmorning sweet friends, 

Today I show you some inspiration on my blog. For this post I made another layout with some pretty prima marketing papers & amazing 2Crafty chipboard pieces. For this layout I used another picture of my husband and our daughter just like on my last layout I showed you here. I really love to decorate my pictures with the amazing phrases like I did here.

Simple Moments:  

Corner Annalise
Simple Moments make Great Memories 
Mini Word Set 2
Frame Chained Circles 
12x12 Clock Face Frames



All the chipboard pieces are firstly treated with a layer of white gesso. The swirls I decorated with some acrylic matt paint, some spray & wax. The chaine circle I painted with three different paints and black gesso as I did with the clock face. 


The beautiful phrase I treated with two layers of white embossing powder and for the word "together" I also used some embossing powder. For that last one I thought it was to shiny on my layout so I also added some white wax & gesso on that one.


Sure hope you like my layouts as much as I love making them. 
Stay happy & creative much

"Treasure That Smile" mixed media panel ***February Color Challenge at Lindy's*** & ***Prima Marketing DT Call***!!!

  Hi my sweet fiends, 

I was so excited about the the new color challenge at Lindy's that I had to participate a second time but now I made it all more shabby chic. I decorated a lp but in a smaller size for this project I used a baby picture of our sweet Abbey and a bunch of moulds which I colored with white gesso & lindy's sprays and I also used some pretty prima marketing flowers. 

Treasure That Smile: 

I decorated the panel with some tissue paper, two stencils, crackle & paper texture paste, Then I added some amazing moulds and of course chipboard by 2Crafty, Prima flowers and some artstones and beads.






I really love playing with my Lindy's stash a lot I use them on almost every project I make. I have a bunch of favorites of course like I think everyone has.

Nothing Beats a Father's Love for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

  Good evening sweet & lovely friends, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring you some inspiration. For this occasion I created a layout with a picture of my husband and darling daughter. For this layout I used a older prima marketing collection named "Georgia Blues" and their embellishments. I really love to work with blues but I find it very hard to take a photograph of my work since blue is hard to take photo's of somehow. 

Nothing Beats a Father's Love: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Nothing Beats a Father's Love 
Corner Thick Vine
Snowball Tree 



All the chipboard pieces are treated with a layer of white gesso after that I spraypainted it with several sprays in a light blue color trying to mimic the color of the papers. Then I added some darker blue acrylic paint on every piece randomly. 


On the snowball tree I added some bling as I did throughout my layout after that I used some white spray to finish my work. 


Sure hope you like my layouts as much as I love making them. 
Stay happy & creative much

Your Special Day February 3rd Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** + Playing along challenge #101 at ***ScrapAndMe***!

Hello sweet friends, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring some inspiration. For this occasion I created a layout with a picture of my beautiful niece Merel. Merel just turned 19 on the 3rd of February and she is one year and four days older then Kevin who just turned 18 on the 7th. I made this layout as a present for her. I was inspired by a color challenge on Facebook but I did not have time to enter the challenge. 

Your Special Day: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Card Word Circles Sentiment
Flourish Frames Set 5 
Vintage Oval Frame
11" Clock Face Frames 
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Fine Word Set - Months 
Mini Word Set 1
Chain Lengths
Filigree Arrows
Circle Revolution Frames



I have used a whole bunch of chipboard pieces as I really love to combine them. All the pieces are treated with one layer of white gesso. Lately I really love to color my chipboard pieces with spray paint and then add some waxes or rust paste. 



The white chipboard pieces you see on my work are treated with two layers of white embossing powder. I also did a lot of machine stitching on my layout and  I have used some rub ons and flowers from three different manufacturers. 

With this layout I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe blog this month it's all about adding a heart to your work as it is the month of love. 

For this layout I have used two ScrapAndMe collections named: 

Sure hope you like my layout as much as I love making them.

My Beauties ~ Last Layout ~ for ***ScrapAndMe***!

    Hello creative friends, 

Although it makes me a little sad that this is my final layout as a DT member of ScrapAndMe, I am also glad that I could make some space for other talent. Anna thank you so much for having me on your design team I really enjoyed working with your gorgeous papers & I will still be using them on my creative journey. Your are such a sweet, generous & lovely person with tons of patiënts. But for now I have look after my health & other family things. For this layout I used one of my favorite paperlines called "Beauties" most of those flowers are my favorite kind in real life. 

My Beauties: 

For my layout I used a picture of Kevin & Abbey a couple of months after she was born back in 2019. This picture really shows the love between siblings then and now they are inseparable even with such a age difference of 14 years. Kevin will turn 18 within two weeks and Abbey is the one that can't wait to celebrate it even more then Kevin does. 

Scrap And Me papers used:

  

  

Thank you so much for all the support you have given me the last year and a half by all the comments on the socials & on the blog as well. I really appriciate every single one them. 

Much love & happy crafting.

Forever Treasure this Day heart canvas for ***2Crafty Chipboard***

 Hello fellow creative souls, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring you some new inspiration. For this occasion I created a heart canvas for my co-worker. Her daughter went to Curaçao with her aunt & grandmother last August and her dream came true which was swimming with the dolphins. She & I just really love the pictures they took so she asked me if I could make something for her so I did. 

Forever Treasure This Day: 

2Crafty Chipboard used:
Esther Vine
Fishingnet Bits
Mini Word Set 1 
Mini Word Set 2
Palm Leaves Set
Mini Word Set 3 
Seaweed Set
Seagrass Set
Seashell Set 



The background that I created here took a couple of days since I love it when it dries & crackles naturally. I also used a couple of stencils on my background and some sprays and waxes.



All the chipoard pieces are treated with either acrylic paint, spray paint, rust paste and waxes. I really love the effect that paste makes on the chippies in the end I added some wishing bubbles & art stones. 



Sure hope you like my canvasses as much as I love making them. 
Stay happy & creative much
