Smile with 2Crafty

"Smile - CANVAS"

I'm so excited to be sharing my very first 2Crafty Design 

Team creations.  With so many gorgeous piece to choose

 from it was such a hard decision to decide what to create

 with first.  So I decided to make a canvas, that way I can 

have it on display for all to see.

One of my go to chipboard pieces is "Chicken Barbed

 Wire".  It's so versatile to use on paper layouts or off 

the page items.  I have given the Barbed Wire here, 

a shiny gold look by painting it with Liquid Gilding.

I have also used Liquid Gilding on my title, "Smile- Loopy

 Font".  It paints onto chipboard really smoothly and 

gives a gorgeous metallic look.

Also layered on my canvas are some "Film Strips 

Tiny".  These are super cute and a perfect size 

for layering among flowers.  I used a black acrylic paint 

on the Film Strips.

A beautiful "Kathleen's Tiny Fame" and a bird from the

"Tree With Sparrows" has been added here to cover a 

boo boo.  A big drop of hot glue landed right under it

 and there was no way it was coming off.

  I was able to cover this mistake by adhering the center  of the Frame with glue dots.  It has also added a bit more dimension to the canvas.   2Crafty Chipboard Used..

Scrap the Girls July

Mid month reveal at Scrap the Girls and we

have a pretty awesome sketch for July.

I have scrapped an oldie again today and I love it.

I cut my photo down to fit in this awesome resin frame

from D-lish Scraps.  The gorgeous flowers and coloured

muslin arealso from D-lish Scraps. 

 I love them heaps. 

The beautiful chipboard pieces and title are

2Crafty Chipboard painted with Liquid Gilding.

This month The Scrappery Kit Club are our lovely, lovely sponsor and they are giving away one BTK kit. Because it isn't available in the store yet I don't have a picture for you, but you can also check out their lovely kits in store, or even set up a subscription.

Happy Little Moments, for D-lish Scraps

Pulled out an old photo for this one.

I love scrapping the older photos.  I think

I find it evokes a memory from the past

that can inspire.

Bring a little smile to your face.

OH!!

and I didn't use white cardstock....just

 for somthing different.

The photo cluster here is made up of lots of little things.

I started by layering a few different Bitty Bags with a 

couple of doilies.  Also in there you will find a couple of 

Jounal It's that came from one of the monthly

 Just Add Paper Kits, a Mini Wooden Peg, Manilla Tag,

 Coloured Twine, D-lish Dots,

 Pinkfresh Studio veneer and a little Resin Frame.

The little calico bag that the photo is sitting on

is from a Pinkfresh Studio kit.

Todays little cluster down the bottom is some

Coloured Twine, D-lish Dots and a Felt Bow.

Thanks for joining me again this month

Hope you've been inspired!

Precious for D-lish Scraps

It seems like it's been ages and ages and ages since 

I've popped on here for a share.

Today I'm sharing a page with some gorgeous

pics of my niece and nephew and their gorgeous

little baby boy.

My background has been cut out with my Silhouette 

and I've just done a little random water colouring.

Making up some of the photo cluster is some Coloured

Doilies, Jounal It's, Manilla Tag, Twine, D-lish Scraps Flair,

Freckled Fawn Arrow Paperclip and some

gorgeous flowers.

Of course I have to have a little cluster down the bottom.

It has been made with a quote from Cardfetti and 

some more flowers.

My page has been finished off with a scattering

of sequins. 

Baby, for D-lish Scraps

Meet my gorgeous brand spankin new great nephew, 

Elijah.

He's so adorably cute and I was lucky enough to get 

lots of baby cuddles today.

The background of my page was done with a couple

of distress inks and the Scrap FX Random 

Dots Stencil.

Tip: if using different colours on your stencils, clean them 

between colours.  The green here was yellow but I hadn't 

cleaned the blue off my stencil.  

Oops.

The Scrap FX chipboard was painted with Shimmerz.

I wanted them to look soft and delicate.

I wanted to introduce another colour to my page so that all

my chipboard wasn't the same.

By adding a Mini Gold Bag as part of my photo 

cluster, I was then able to use this colour on

 my chipboard.

The rest of my layering consists of a Coloured Doily

 and lots of goodies from the May Just Add Paper Kit.

Totally in love with those feathers ♥

My page has been finished off with a little bit of torn

Washi Tape and a splattering of D-lish Enamel Dots.

Hope you've been inspired.

Cherish, for D-lish Scraps

A few weeks ago I managed to find a bit of mojo when 

I went on retreat and this is what I came up with.

The Scrap FX chipboard piece that I have used just wasn't

 working for me.  No matter what I did, it would sit

 how I wanted it to inmy head.

But then it's not unusual for me to chop up my 

chipboard and manipulate it a little.

The swirly part at the top is from this piece,

 Flourish 12 Scribble 

and the bottom swirly part is from this piece,

 Feather Drawing.

They're perfect together!

Once I got the chipboard right, I have layered lots

 of the gorgeous new Green Tara Fantasy Blooms

 across my page.

I've used the Black/White and Peach ones.

They are so gorgeous and wishing I had each pack.

My photo has been mounted into a little Resin Frame.
It took a little trial and error to cut the photo the
 right size, but am loving the end result.
I've tucked a gorgeous Flair Button in under the flowers
 from the Dip Dye Words set.

My page has been finished off with a gorgeous 

Printed Veneer Butterfly and little Pearl 

Cabochon 3D heart.

 I'll be back tomorrow, hope you've enjoyed.
