Part Two of My August DT Reveal For
2Crafty Chipboard
"Simply the Best"


Hi there paper friends, thanks for calling by.
Today I have part two of my August DT reveal for
2Crafty Chipboard.


2Crafty Chipboard Used..
Moustache Set
Loads of Triangles Pack
Film Strips - Tiny
Simply the Best - title
Chain Lengths 


I just ADORE this new "Triangle Set" that 2Crafty Chipboard has just released.
After a coat of gesso all the triangle pieces were just painted with acrylic paints,
 When they were dry I just doodled on some of the orange ones to create a point
 of interest. I really love how these triangle pieces look. 


Here you can see where I have used some of their  "Tiny Film Strips".


A few pieces pieces of their "Chain Lengths" tucked in here & there.

 
How cute are these sweet little moustaches from their "Moustache Set".
  Lastly I finished off with one of their many titles.
 
Thats all from me today, I will see you back here again next month.
I hope I have inspired you in some small way.

"Live It Up"
August Off The Rails Challenge

Hi there peeps, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have a boy layout to share with you that was inspired by the
current challenge over at "Off The Rails" challenge blog.
These pics were given to me by a friend & this is her Grandson.
He looks like such a typical boy & so full of life.
Just perfect for this layout.
"Off The Rails" August Sketch & Moodboard
I have used the blue & the blue grey. (both from the left side of the colour swatch)
& the flowers I have added have a yellowish / green in the centres !!!
 
I have taken my inspiration from a number of things.
#1. The wood background in the first pic.
#2. The quote.
#3. The urban grunge feel to the pic with the van.
#4. The black & white photo of the boy having fun.
 
Such a Great inspirational moodboard.

As always I have used some great 2Crafty Chipboard pieces
including this title, arrows & the cogs.
"Live It Up" title

12" Nested Cogs Set

Assorted Arrows Set


I really do love these 2Crafty chipboard cogs I have used. 
They come on al 12" nested sheet & you get heaps of them.
I have given them a faux metal finish.


 This title, "Live it Up" & the arrows are also both from 2Crafty chipboard too.
I thought they were perfect for this layout.


I have to say I am really enjoying doing boy layouts recently.
I thought I had lost the recipe but luckily I have found it again !!!
Well that just about wraps up another layout.
Hope you like it.
 
Until next time.

My Scrap Around the World August DT Reveal
"Smile & Laugh"


Hi there paper friends, thanks for stopping by. Today I have my August DT reveal for
Scrap Around the World
to share with you, & naturally I have based it on their fabulous August moodboard.

SATW August Moodboard

I just love the neutral tones of this moodboard.
There are just so many things in it to draw inspiration from.

As always I have used some awesome pieces of my favourite




How sweet are those little word circles?


I have stuck to neutrals except for a dash of my favourite colour...GREEN.
I think they team well together .

 
Of course I have added some mixed media to my background.


Framed my pics with the wonderful "Circle Revolution Frames".

 
Added some flowers & hey presto, all finished !!
 
Hope you can find some time to join us over at
Scrap Around the World blog this month too &
remember they have TWELVE MONTHLY PRIZES 
up for grabs.
 
Until next time.
