The Place I Call Paradise layout for ***ScrapAndMe***!

 Hello lovely creative friends, 

For today's inspiration I created a 12 by 12 layout with the new "Beauties" collection. I think that collection is my new favorite for sure because it's so very versatile. You can make Christmas cards, summer layouts, baby layouts and so much more. I made a layout with a picture of our summer vacation this year in Greece Abbey her first one. 

The Place I Call Paradise:

I made the flowers with some of the amazing dies ScrapAndMe offers, I really enjoy making my own flowers since they coördinate so well with the papers. I was making this layout for the challenge this month but I didn't finish intime so that's why I post now. I used that cat graphic I think it's such a cutie

Cheeky I Love You Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!

  Hello sweet creative souls, 

For today I am going back in time a little because when the new "Beauties" collection arrived at my doorstep I really needed to use a baby picture of Abbey with this amazing phrase by 2Crafty Chipboard. 
"I love you more than the sun the moon and all the stars" 
The phrase was treated with two layers of white gesso and then some white embossing powder the same as I did with the word cheeky. I also separated the phrase in four pieces to make it more the focal point on my layout next to my picture. 

Cheeky I Love You:

I Love You More Than Title 

Fancy Set 1 Borders `

Mini Word Set 4

The leaves are treated with one layer of white gesso and then with some spray which I added three times and I used a whipe to take away the excess and dried with a heat tool. I did the same with the border piece. 

The flowers are handmade with some new dies I just purchased. I also did a bunch of fussy cutting for this layout. On the background I did a lot of machine stitching and I used a stencil & added some nuvo drops on the stencil. 

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!

Brothers make the best Friends layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Hello fellow creative souls, 
I am so excited that you are here with us today as I bring you some inspiration with pictures from our summer vacation trip to Greece where we had a lovely time. For my base I used a vinyl record the size about 11,5 inches that I then decorated with beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces. 

Brothers make the best Friends:

Brothers are the Best Friends

The yellow frame on the top was painted with acrylic paint and after that I sprayed some golden spray over it. The wonderful phrase was treated with the same yellow paint as the frame but then I added three different golden sprays on it. The little clockface was painted with black gesso and some golden coloured sprays and I finished it off with some glossy accents.

The big clockface was first treated with a layer of black gesso then I added two different waxes on it to make it shine a little bit and give it a little color, it's a brushing technique which is so settisfying to do. On the rest of the chipboard pieces I added two layers of white gesso before I altered them further. The green chipboard pieces are treated with some green spray & then I blow dried it while spraying them love that effect. On the Artdeco frame I did the brush technique with some white gesso and in the end some vintage golden wax  

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!

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.

Creepy & Cute panel for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & Playing at ***Lindy's Gang***!!!

 Hello sweet friends, 
I am so happy you are here with me today....this time I bring you some mixed media inspiration. This panel was created with all gorgeous 2Crafty chippies and some moulds it was made for a challenge with the theme "Creepy & Cute. I off course used a picture of Abbey as a little baby for the cute part.

Creepy & Cute: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Anna's Flourish
Cassie's Flourishes 
Flourish Adornment Set 5
Foliage Set 6
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Mini Word Set 3

I altered some of the chipboard pieces with black gesso {on the creepy side} then I added some waxes that I brushed on them. On the other pieces I used white gesso and on some of them sprays {which I blow dried} and on the others some effect paste. The spraying gives it such a fun effect like water drops.

On the beautiful "Cassie's Flourishes" I added a layer of crushed ice effect paste to make it sparkle a little bit, but it is not really visible on the pictures sadly. To finish my work I added some flowers & white spray. 

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!
