A Mixed Media Self Portrait"A Moment Captured"

Hi there, thanks so much for calling by.

Today I have a rare self portrait to show you.

Lots Of mixed media, some lovely pieces of my favourite

2Crafty Chipboard, lots of bright colours & some sweet little flowers too.

. This one was part of my design team work

2Crafty Chipboard this week.

After creating my mixed media background with 

stencilling, sprays, inks & stamping I then set to work

on the chipboard colouring it up with acrylic paints to

customise it to create a nice consistent colour palette.

 

I decided to tear & also do some "paper punching" & some layering
 down the left side of my page to add a point of difference. I also used an
"embroidery stamp" to stamp both the top & bottom edges too.

Here is a close up photo of my background where

you can see the detail. Maybe it might inspire you

to try something similar.

"Timeless"A Vintage Layout Featuring My Great GrandmotherA Design Team Creation For 2Crafty Chipboard

  Hi there lovelies, thanks for stopping by. 

Today I have an extra special layout & that is because I have used

this beautiful photo of my Great Grandmother,

I absolutely adore this photo of her.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

"Timeless Beauty" - title ...I trimmed the word "Beauty off the title

"Corner Whispy Vine"

"Lucy Flourish Frame"

"Corner Swirly Heart Set"

The 2Crafty chipboard pieces I have used are firstly this title

which actually says "Timeless Beauty" but I trimmed the word

BEAUTY off so that it would be a perfect title to suit my vintage theme.

All the chipboard was heat embossed with a copper colour.

On the left side of my photo I have also used one of the
"Swirly Heart Corners" & on the right side of my layout
I have trimmed a small piece from the "Corner Whispy Vine".

The last piece of chipboard I have used is a

"Lucy Flourish Frame" which I trimmed the frame off &

then I tucked it in below my photo & used it vertically.

Well thats all I have for you today.

I do hope you liked my vintage inspiration.

Until next time...

"Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories"Framed Scrapbook Layout

 Hello there, thanks for stopping by the blog today. 

Today I have something a little different to show you.

For this layout I have used this gorgeous photo of my Goddaughters children from when

they had a family photo shoot done & I decided I would pop it in a frame & give it

to her as a gift.  You can pick these frames up for under $20 from Kmart !!!

For this layout I wanted to achieve a nice earthy theme. 

I printed the photo out in black & white so it would match this theme nicely.
Perfect for a family photo shoot photo.

I just adore the way the photographer positioned the kids like this,

Such a fabulous idea & as soon as I saw it I just knew I had to scrap it !!

As well as this lovely grungy paper, some of my favourite burlap,

some little denim flowers & some string I have also added some

wonderful pieces of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard as well.

I think what makes this look sooo effective is this cheapie frame I picked up

for under $20 from my local Kmart store !! These are such good value too.

I gave this to my Goddaughter for her birthday a few weeks ago

& she absolutely loved it. I think by adding the frame to my layout

 is a great way to create a lovely handmade gift that anyone would 

be proud to hang on their wall.

Well that is all from me today. 

I hope I have inspired you in some small way.

Until next time....
