Some More 2Crafty ChipboardDesign Team Inspiration"Beauty in Green"

Hi there paper friends, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have another layout to share with you that is part of my

July design team inspiration for 

2Crafty Chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Corner Alexia

Mini Corner Set #3

Tiny Henri Frames

Mini Word Set #1

On this layout I have treated all the chipboard pieces the same, kind of creating a matching set.

They were all simply painted with a gorgeous metallic green acrylic paint.

These little corners help frame my layout.

A lovely subtle mixed media background.

I actually taught this layout as a class a couple of weeks ago

up in Queensland for The Vintage Chicks Club.

The girls did an awesome job of it too.

Here you can see I have used a corner chippie piece in a

different way & then added the little chippie frame over it.

Hope you like my layout today.

Until next time.

Guest Designing for AB.StudiosPLUSSome More 2Crafty Chipboard Design Team Inspiration

Hi there paper friends, thanks for calling by.

I am "Guest Designing"again today for my dear friends over at

AB.Studios.

These papers I have used on this layout are all from their 

"Diary" paper collection.

How gorgeous are their papers!!

I did lots of fussy cutting all these lovely floral images & tags.

I have also used some of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces too.

Lots of layers & lots of textures too.

A few flowers from Green Tara for good measure too.

I always love mixing paper flowers in amongst fussy cut ones.

I sprayed some gauze to match.

The little word strips I have used are also cut from the sheet with all the tags on.

Viola, another layout complete.

Until next time.

Guest Designing For AB.StudiosALSO"More Than Words Challenge" August DT Reveal"Smile"

Hi there lovelies, thanks for calling by.
Today I have yet another layout to share with you.

It is a joint post for both my DT reveal for the current August challenge over on the

More Than Words challenge blog.

AND

Also I was asked to do some "Guest Designing" for my good friends at

AB. Studios.

They are a Polish manufacturer of gorgeous papers, stamps, stencils & more.

Check out all their goodies in their online store.

They have sooo many beautiful things.

This is the  August More Than Words Challenge.

So as you can see from the sketch above, the requirement this month

was for two or three photos. (I tweeked the sketch a tiny bit !!)

All these gorgeous papers I have used on my layout are from AB.Studios 

and were just perfect for fussy cutting which is excatly what I did.

These AB.Studios papers are from their "Enchanted Flowers" collection.

They floral image I fussy cut really looks beautiful here I think overlayed over

their other two beautiful papers. (Both the white one & the pink one)

A tiny bit of mixed media added, but kept to a minimum.

Just a few extra flowers added to the mix. I can't scrap without some flowers.

Some of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard too.

Hey presto, all finished.

Be sure to check out the AB. Studios website too.

I do hope you find some spare time this month to play along with us at
