So Much Fun Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!

 Hello fellow creative souls, 

I am so excited that you are here with me today as I bring you some inspiration with a picture from our summer vacation trip to Greece. On this vacation my husband & son went diving and they saw so many beautiful things underneath the sea that I had to scrap this picture. I used a variety of beautiful chipboard pieces to make my layout. 

So Much Fun: 

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Fine Stem Frames
Seashells Set 2
Seaweed Grass Set 1
So Much Fun
Intricate Seahorses
Fishing Net Bits 

  

All the chipboard pieces are treated with one layer of gesso at first, the on some pieces the frames & fishing net bits I added rust paste and  then some acrylic paint & some waxes. The rest of the pieces are just treated with a bunch of different color waxes {with a brushing technique} 

To finish off my layout I added some cheese cloth behind my picture and behind some flowers but also I used some sprays & art stones 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

For this blog hop I made a 8x8 layout using the pretty NEW "Sand and Sea" collection by 49 and Market and a whole bunch of summer dies by Cheery Lynn Designs. The picture is of our handsome son back in 2010 on our vacation is Spain we have such wonderful memories of that vacation.

Beautiful Happy Memories of Summer: 

 I had so much fun creating this layout and I used a bunch of mixed media goodies too such as sand, 3D balls, stamps, prills and ink. I really like to cut up the borders from Cheery Lynn and use them as layers on my layout.

Don't you just love that Sun & Clouds die this is the first time using it and it just makes me so happy. I also added some real shells to make my flower cluster pop more.

Sorry for the different colors in pictures my camera was acting up again. The seahorses are cut from two different dies Cheery Lynn offers. The cute little flower spray's are also handmade I will show how I made them in a tutorial really soon.

Sweet Moments Round Canvas Challenge #5 "Everything Besides Square" for ***CraftAddiction***!

Goodmorning everyone, 

 It's the beginning of the month so there is a challenge going on at the Craft Addiction challenge site right here ==> "Challenge Blog" <== this time you can make everything you would like but if it's square you are out, this was a really hard challenge for me because I normally do layouts. I am not so good in making off the page projects but I thought well I need to give this a go. I am not so happy with this picture because I really love when it has a lighter background but hey it will do. I had I round canvas still in my stash so I used that one for this project.  

Sweet Moments: 

For this canvas I used pretty products from "49 and Market" and also from "The Dusty Attic"to compliment all the products I used from the Craft Addiction store. It was a lot of fun making this but I have to say that I will stick on making layout & cards lol. 

I love me some metal pieces so here I used a pen nip with the word notes on it en also two metal pebbles. For this canvas I used the Powertex 3D Balls Medium, some mica flakes and prills to accent the 3D balls in giving them a bit of coloring.

All the chipboard pieces were treated with gesso from the Craft Addiction store and some acrylic paint by The Dusty Attic. The stencil I used is a new one from Gabi and I added some Decoart Crackle Paste White to it.

Craft Addiction products used: 

 Powertex 3D Balls Medium, PowertexRusty Powder, Ranger Mini Glossy Accents, Decoart Crackle Paste White, Tube Alleslijm, Stazon Inktkussen Jet Black, Tonic Studios Paper Distresser, Nellies Choice Plakparels 2mm wit/ivoor/zilver, Nellies Choice Plakparels 4mm wit/ivoor/zilver

Other products used: 

49 and Market "Scents of Nature" Collection, 49 and Market Flowers & Stamps, Dusty Attic Chipboard, Dusty Attic Acrylic paints, BoBunny Stamp, Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays, Ranger Crackle Accents, Prills & Mica Flakes, Mica Powder & 3D Matte Gel, Cheese Cloth. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I sure hope I have inspired you to play with our challenge #5 "Everything Besides Square" this month at the Craft Addiction Challenge Blog!

Have a wonderful and sunny day!

Happy Having Fun Layout for ***49 and Market***

Goodmorning everyone,

I am so much in love with the pretty vintage shades flower range that I just can't get enough creating with it. This time I made a layout using a picture from our son Kevin seven years ago when we were on our vacation in Spain. I have to say I really enjoy to combine the amazing "Vintage Artistry" collection with all the other collections because I really like the neutral feel it has. This time I added the new "Scents of Nature"at the bottom part of my layout. Then I stamped randomly with several stamp sets to later on add some crackle paste on my layout.

Happy Having Fun: 

Lately I am a little more making soft tones layouts as well as cards and 49 and Market is making that very easy to do. After stamping I added two stencils with paste and later on I sprayed with three sprays by Lindy's! With my last DT box I got some of the amazing rustic flowers they are so gorgeous.

All the chipboard pieces are gessod and treated with embossing powders, some of them are treated with stamps and rust paste. In my flower clusters I used cheesecloth and some other stuff that I can't remember the name off sorry. Di used it before ;-) I also added some prills on my layout mostly between the fish net.

I also added some natural elements which I got at the Euro store such as shells, twigs and little balls {not sure what they are hihih}. To finish my layout I added some gesso and twinkling spray on my flower clusters.

49 and Market products used: 

Other products used: Dusty Attic chipboard pieces, Stencils, Paste, Lindy's Stamps Gang sprays and embossing powders, Stamps, Mica Powders, Cheese cloth, Gesso, Ink.

Thank you so much for your visit today I hope you enjoyed my post and are inspired by it to use your 49 and Market goodies as well.... have a lovely week.

Love

For this blog hop I made a card using some amazing new 49 and Market papers called "Scents of Nature" & "Looking Through"! That cute little fairy sitting on my card is from the Looking Through collection. These papers are from such a high quality that once you worked with them you are in love I can tell you that. The pretty Cheery Lynn Designs IOE Embossing Folders & Dies are a perfect match for these papers.

True Love:

For this card I used the soft tones in light blue and the darker blue in the Scents of Nature collection also I added some light green papers to match the fairy her wings. This particular embossing folder is such a beauty that I really enjoyed working with it.

I used the outer side of one of the older IOE embossing folders & plates with the dots which I really love. I cut it out and layered it on top of the other IOE folder to get more dimension. So much layers added on my card.
