Delight in Every Moment layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & ***Maja Design***!

 Hello my lovely fiends, 

Welcome to my blog, 
today I will show you a layout with the gorgeous new collection called "Everyday Life" by Maja Design and ohhhh my words it's so freaking gorgeous. It has different color pallettes and some amazing cut out sheets to work with, for today's layout I went for the yellow,cream and black/brown shades. I did a lot of distressing on my borders and what I totally love about this collection it has such lovely phrases randomly placed of the paper sheets. When this collection of papers came in I right away knew which pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard I wanted to use. I am a big fan of borders and anything swirly. 

Delight in Every Moment: 

I have used three layers here for my layout and behind the picture two layers, I used a gorgeous stencil by Celebr8 on my background. I also did a lot of fussy cutting on my layout like the sunflowers en butterflies. Firstly I coated the corner pieces, phrase and aztec feather with a thin layer of white gesso, then I used some gold embossing powder on the corners and white embossing powder on the phrase & feather after that I added some waxes in different shades to create more depth.




I off course used a picture of our lovely Abbey that I took last year her sitting in the grass with flowers in her hand. The beautiful chipboard border is treated with some gold shimmer spray and some waxes. On the background paper I used a new stencil and I finished my layout of by adding some "say it in crystals" & some white spray.

For this layout I combined three paper collections {love doing that} and lots of layering, stitching & fussy cutting. I also added a stencil on the background. This was such a fun layout to create hope you like it.

Daddy's Gorgeous Girl Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!

 Hello lovely friends,

Welcome to my blog, today I am showing you a layout with a bunch of gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard pieces. I am a massive fan of making beach & wintery layouts this time I chose a beach one, with a picture of Abbey and her bucket full of shells. The papers I used are by Maja Design and are two different collections. The picture was taken last year, Abbey loves the beach and she always says "it's sunny on the beach mommy" you have to put sunscreen on me. 

Daddy's Gorgeous Girl: 

 2Crafty Chipboards used:

Firstly I coated all the chipboard pieces with a thin layer of white gesso, then I used a couple of different acrylic & liquid paints to cover my chipboard pieces. On some of them I dabbed a darker brown paint randomly and others I used waxes on. 


On the background I did some mixed media such as stamps, inks and sprays and I finished of my layout by adding some art stones, sea shells, flair {long time ago since I used them} and some word strips. I also used some metal pieces. 


I would like to thank you all for being here with me today and for your amazing support. I really love this creative journey I am sharing with you all ....

Altered Light Bulb for ***Finnabair*** Guest Designer May 2022!!!

 Hello Lovely Creative Friends, 
 I am very gratefull & excited
to show you my project as this months guest designer on the Finnabair blog.
For this accasion I decorated a glass light bulb that my husband bought me a while back.
I call it: "I give you some light in these dark days"
looking at all that's happening in The Ukraine right now!


Altered Light Bulb: 

First I gessod it with heavy black gesso after that I applied tissue paper with some soft matte gel.
I always use raisin for making my moulds. This time I took it out a little sooner then I normally do so I could bend it to fit my light bulb.
Since it was not fully dried I pressed it against my light bulb and voila it's stuck on there. 




Then I painted it with the darker red & soft pink colors from the vintage roses mica powder set and some water. I also used some other colors acrylic paints to alter my frame. 
After that I arranged my flowers and glued them on my light bulb at the end I added some mechanicals pieces.I also used some different waxes on my frame as well as on my flowers.
