Nice Moments Layout for ***ScrapAndMe***!!!

 Hello lovely creative friends, 

For today's inspiration I created a 12 by 12 layout with Abbey's first school picture, her with a big smile like I know her. Normally when we take pictures of her at a photographer she always puts her hands in front of her eyes or makes angry faces. That's why was a little surprised when I saw this sweet picture. 

Smile {Nice Moments} 

I used a punch from Martha Stewart for the darker pink sheet which I then hand stitched the rest of the stitching is done with a sewing machine. I used a stencil, some flowers and a mould to create the rest of the layout and off course some fussy cut elements.

Wonderful Memory of You layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!

 Hi there lovely friends,

It's a lovely day to visit my blog because I have another layout to share with you all. What I really love about 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are that they are so delicate and swirly which makes your layouts & other works so romantic and I am a sucker for romance and hearts. 

Wonderful Memory of You: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Mini Word Set 3
Memory of You
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Frame Handrawn Hearts
Squiggly Heart Cluster 
Leafy Shrub Set 1

I just can't stop creating in purple colors since it is my favorite color lol, this layout was made with the pretty "Spring Purple" collection. All the chippies are painted with one layer of white gesso then I painted the "Memory of You" phrase with some purple acrylic paint then I added some transparant crackle paste and some wax when it was dry.

I painted the Leafy Shrub Set 1 with some green acrylic matte paint and then I added some wax and purple impasto paint. I also added some hearts from the "Steampunk Hearts" mould by Finnabair which I painted with black gesso en pruple wax. In the end I added some pearle on the leafy set to give it more demension. The flowers are all handmade and I did a lot of fussy cutting as well. 

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!

My Wish for You to Find Joy in the Ordinary Tag for *Scrap And Me* Challenge #94 use the color pallette & Playing at *More Than Words* Mini Challenge!!!

 Hello sweet crafty friends, 

Happy July it's the 8th of the month and that means another challenge over at the ScrapAndMe blog. This time the challenge is "Let yourself be inspired by the color pallete" and that is very easy since the new collection "Spring Purple" has those colors. I made this tag with one of the new moulds by Finnabair "Baroque Frames" 

My Wish for You to Find Joy in the Ordinary: 

I took my largest tag die that I own to create this tag I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. I slightly moved the smaller piece of paper to the right to create more dimension I also lifted it up a little with foam tape. The flowers are handmade with some of my flower dies I always wet them a little and fold them up like little balls and wrinkle them a lot before drying them. 

Then I used my gorgeous new mould by finnabair "Baroque Frames" that I painted with acrylic paints and waxes. This was a really fun tag to make and I hope you are going to play too it would be nice to see what you all will create.
