“Christmas 2015”
A Design Team Creation for
2Crafty Chipboard

Hello there, thanks so much for calling by the blog.
Today I have another Christmas layout to share with you
& it features this gorgeous photo that was taken on Christmas Day
back in 2015 of myself with my eldest son Beau & his daughter Mia.
I had assembled a bunch of props in readiness for our photo shoot
including this big frame I'm holding & of course lots of Chrissy hats too.

I created this layout as part of my design team work this month for
2Crafty Chipboard
and naturally I have used lots of their various chipboard pieces.

2Crafty Chipboard Used…
11” Holly Frame Set (cut up)
2015 Dates
Love at Christmas - title (cut up)
ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars
6” Tanyahs Border
Stars Pack
Mini Christmas Word Stick - Christmas Set #1 (cut up)
Ornament Sampler


After creating a lovely subtle mixed media background and
& adding some layers behind the photo I set about customising 
all my chipboard pieces to match.


Everything was given a coat of white gesso to start & then I began to colour
up all the chippie pieces with some acrylic paints. All these gorgeous holly
pieces were cut apart from the middle frame from the "Holly Frame Set"


 I did the same to the title which I had cut the word "Christmas" off of the
"Love at Christmas" title & also I cut
 the "Christmas Sampler" into pieces as well.
Thats the great thing about chipboard, you can cut it
up to suit your project.


All finished. I hope you like it.
This ones going straight into my album !! 😉❤️🎄
This layout is NOT going to be a kit unfortunately.

Until next time....
Merry Christmas
