My June Design Team 2Crafty Reveal

Hello!

I am sharing my June Design Team 2Crafty post today

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the 2Crafty blog.

Today I am sharing 3 layouts all featuring the very versatile  2Crafty chipboard.

My 1st layout is a grungy boys page.

The Workman

2Crafty Products Used:

Chevron Bits

Assorted Arrows

2013

Polaroid Frame

Gears



All the Gears were covered with a light coat  of gesso then sprayed and splattered
 with different mists, painted with distress crackle paint and randomly stamped with inks.



                        The Chevron Bits were coloured using stamps and distress inks

2013 was inked with Versa Colour Charcoal Ink.

The Polaroid frame was covered with gesso first, then I added some mesh and 

washi tape, then it was sprayed and splattered with Tattered Angels 

Graphite Glimmermist

The Arrows were coloured the same as the Chevron Bits

A close up of the Cogs, an Arrow from the Assorted Arrow Pack and the Polaroid Frame

My 2nd Layout is a soft and pretty feminine page

Time Just Flies By

 2Crafty Chipboard Products:

ATC Hearts

Fern

Clock Faces

6"Clock Face Frames

Heart Charm

 Heart Charm- I covered the scroll piece with gesso and placed
 embroidery thread over the top of it.

The Heart I embossed using Zing Embossing powder-Blush

The little ATC hearts are just perfect to add to your layouts.

I coated each Heart with  gesso and randomly inked the edges and tops with Versa Color Cinnamon Ink, then stamped the Diamond pattern on top using charcoal ink
with a Kaisercraft Stamp.

The Fern piece was left raw and  I added some 3D Kindy Glitz Puffed White
to add some dimension on each of the leaves.

 6"Clock Face Frames- This was embossed using Zing Embossing Powder-Blush

The Frame around the photo was coloured and distressed using Tim Holtz
 Distress Crackle Paint-Picket Fence

ATC Heart- altered with gesso, Inks and stamping.

Clock Face- was covered with gesso and used as a photo matt

My 3rd share is a layout I created  for Scrap Around the World mood board in May

 Cherish Today

 2Crafty Chipboard Products:

11'Viney Frame

ATC Butterflies

today-loopy font

Funky Hearts

 The Funky Hearts

1- was covered with gesso and a small amount of texture paste, the edges were

 inked with pinecone Ink and stamped with a Script Kaisercraft stamp.

2- was coated with gesso and texture paste and inked with Black Ink.

Today-title loopy font

I just love the loopy font titles that 2Crafty have.

This was simply inked with Black Ink and the little cherish title adhered to the top.

ATC Butterflies- all inked with Black ink and connected using thread.

The flowers on the 11'Viney Frame were coloured using a Whispers Permanent Pen

The leaves were coloured using a Whispers Permanent Pen, some Tattered Angels 

Glimmermist and some Tim Holtz Crackle Paint.

The Stems were coloured using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a Whispers Pen.

CSI Case File No. 126 Holiday Memories

 Welcome to my blog!

Firstly I  want to say a big Thank You to everyone who left lovely comments on my post for my Mum on her published layout. She was overwhelmed with all your beautiful comments.
 

So are you ready for this week's challenge? 

Beautiful colours again this week.

 Grab your forensics kits, CSI members, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open
 Case File No. 126.   

 

 Today I am sharing my Design Team Layout for  case File  No.126 at Colour Stories, Inspiration

{Holiday Memories}



 

The Scheme; Loved these colours.... All are there.

Evidence; chevrons (yellow washi tape), polka dots ( stencil, rub-ons), Numbers (date), rub-ons (title arrows, dots), scallops (on the paper strips), hearts (orange cotton), puffy accent.

Testimony; journaling spot with a decorative edge ( yellow tag)

I have scrapped an old photo, 6 years old, this was taken in April 2008 around Matthew's 13th Birthday..... but I can still remember the wonderful time we had with the kids at Wet 'n' Wild. Matthew is a real water baby so absolutely loved every minute of his time there. He went on almost every ride possible. His poor father was exhausted at the end of the day. The kids were allowed to buy a souvenir from each world and this is what Matthew bought with his money. We came home with so many wonderful memories....it was an amazing holiday.  We all loved it.

 

 

I hope you get a chance to play along. Remember to share your layout in the  CSI gallery.

 

Thanks for all your beautiful comments.

I feel lucky to have so many amazing friends who always take time to leave me  wonderful comments.

Scrap Africa-Special Friend

 

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing a layout I created using this sketch for

Scrap Africa.

Sketch challenge #30

 

 

{Special Friend}

 

I was lucky enough to meet this lovely lady in real life in Adelaide a couple of weeks ago.

Helen and I have been cyber friends for a number of years.

My daughter started Uni 4 years ago and I put up a post...from that post Helen contacted me and asked if we could meet up whilst I was in Adelaide.

Its taken me almost 4 years to do that....Why did I wait so long?

We met at a beautiful little cafe "E for Ethel" in North Adelaide for a cuppa...It was wonderful to sit and chat......the time flew by and before we knew it, it was time to go. 

 Thank you Helen for making  time to catch up with me. I look forward to catching up again.

xxx.

 

Thank you to my beautiful chaeuffer and photographer, Sarah.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

{Enjoying Time}

 

Mum  is such a huge inspiration to me.

She encouraged and inspired me to start scrapbooking 8 years ago.

My Design Team Layout for Scrap 365-6 at CSI

Hi  there Everyone!

Special Case File

Case File No Scrap 365-6 is open  at

Colour, Stories, Inspiration.

We're excited to reveal our sixth special Case File created for our collaboration with Scrap365, UK's biggest and best scrapbooking magazine.

This special Case File will be open for investigation for the entire month of June. We will have a new Scrap365 Case File every other month, with the publication of a new issue of the magazine. After this Case File closes, we will be selecting our five favorite layouts to feature, and those people will be invited as CSI Deputies (guest designers) for August. 

 

This is my Design Team take.

{S & M}

 

So are you ready for this month's special challenge? Grab your forensics kits, CSI members

 and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Case File No. S365-6 

 

"The Scheme" - This is the palette of five colors you must use. You may add neutrals (black, white, kraft, cream, gray, brown) to these colors. Please try to get your colors as close to this swatch as possible, but don't drive yourself crazy or not play because you don't have the exact shade of a color. If you'd like to add an additional color to accent, please restrict it to about 10% of your page

 

Scheme;I have used all 5 colours; Coral, Light Peach, White, Light warm Gray and Navy Blue.

 

"Evidence" - These are elements drawn from the inspiration image that you should include on your page. They may be products, techniques, or other design ideas. Choose two or more to include in your layout. If you see other elements that inspire you in this picture, feel free to add those, too!

 

Evidence; stripes, twine, numbers(date), monograms (S, M), texture paste, diamond shapes.

 

"Testimony" - This is the journaling part. Choose one (or more) elements for your journaling. The journaling elements are also drawn from the inspiration image and may be in the form of topic ideas, journaling formats, journaling approaches, or words to inspire your stories. They are meant to spark ideas for you to tell a story on your page. You can combine them, use them as a jumping-off point, or you can always use The Scene (inspiration image) as inspiration for your journaling.

 

Testimony;Use the initials of your subject to generate words to describe your subject;

S & M -  Sarah & Matthew- Special Memory.

Today is Mothers Day and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by my beautiful family.

 I was spoilt rotten by these two gorgeous kids.

Their gift to me was a Cannon Camera.

Thank you so much...I love you with all my heart. 

xxxxxx

 

 

 We hope you will play with us this month. One lucky winner will win the latest copy of Scrap365. If you've never seen this magazine, it's awesome. I've subscribed to just about every scrapbook magazine over the years, and I must say, this is the very best publication I've ever seen. Each issue is chock-full of gorgeous layouts from scrappers around the world, every single one accompanied by commentary from the designer; technique articles with step-by-step instructions; tons of articles by top-notch designers; pull-out sketches; and so much more. They have an amazing design team, including our very own CSI Detective Tracee Provis. You really must check out Scrap365!
 

 

Thanks for all your lovely comments.
