Guest Designing with the 2Crafty Chipboard DT Girls at
C.S.I. Color Stories Inspiration
"Happiness Is...Cupcakes"

 
 
Hi there friends, thanks for calling by.
Today I have a layout I created for C.S.I. for their current challenge #156.
2Crafty Chipboard are a major sponsor over at CSI for February,
so all of our DT girls from 2Crafty  have been guest designing for them.
 
 
Here is their case file.
I have used all the required colours.
 
The Testimony 
One of the things in the testimony list is to start your title off with the words,
"A little bit of this"  so I have scrapped these pics of some pretty little 
cupcakes with flowers on top of them. Don't they look positively scrumptious.
 

I have written "A little bit of this is cupcake bliss".
Says it all don't you agree?

My "Evidence"
I have used Text print 
Flowers & leaves
Stamps
Mixed Media Background


Naturally I have used some lovely new pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard
starting off with new title, 
"Happiness Is".
Just perfect for this layout.


I have also used a "Tiny Henri's Frame"
for my little quote. I love these little frames & use them so often.
They are just a perfect size.


Here you can see some 2Crafty chippie "Retro Flowers"
peeking out from underneath my flowers.


The jewel in the crown on this layout has to be this new chippie piece called,
"Circle Lace Panel".
This is definitely my new favourite 2Crafty piece.
It is actually a 6" x 6" panel but I have cut it into several pieces.


All my chippie pieces were firstly given a coat of gesso.
Then for the pink colour I used Gelatos & a little bit of Stickles for some added sparkle.
For the green I simply used Silks paints.

 
Thanks so much to Debbi Tehrani & the CSI girls for having us 2Crafty
design team girls as your guests this month. We have really enjoyed it.
 
Until next time.

My February DT Reveal For The Scrapbook Store
PLUS ANOTHER VIDEO
"Friends"


 
  Hi there peeps, thanks for calling by.
Today I have this layout to share with you that I have created as part
 of my February DT work for The Scrapbook Store.
 I created this using Graphic 45 "Time to Flourish" collection.
 Such beautiful papers. As always I have used lots of my favourite
2Crafty Chipboard too.
 Scroll Down for a Full Product List
 
 
I have also made a start to finish VIDEO TUTORIAL
CLICK THE ARROW TO VIEW
 
 
 

These papers were perfect to cut up  to make loads of
gorgeous panels to create great layers.

In my VIDEO TUTORIAL I have shown you how to create
these sweet little handmade flowers too. I made them out of some of the 
leftover paper scraps so they are a perfect match.


After firstly applying a coat of gesso I have inked all the
chippie pieces in a terracotta colour. I think this made them
stand out from the rest of the page.


I also fussy cut some flowers out of one of the papers too.
I think they look so sweet tucked in amongst my other flowers.


As always, lots of mixed media background work too & I
really like this beautiful Green Tara lace tucked in along the edge.

 
  I love these little chippie leaves from 2Crafty.

Guest Designing at C.S.I.
With the Girls From 2Crafty Chipboard
Case File # 155
"A Moment Captured"

 
Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by.
The 2Crafty Chipboard 
design team girls are guests this month over at
C.S.I. (Color, Stories, Inspiration)
& I have based my layout on their Case File # 155.
 
CSI Case File #155
 
 
These are the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used.
 
6"Circle Revolution Frames
Corner Ivy
A Moment Captured-Title
ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars


For the "Evidence" part of the challenge I have used five things,
Circles
Grid Design (Mesh Tape)
Paint
Metal (Punchinella Silver Trim)
Stamps
For the "Testimony" part of the challenge I have written
about how as you get older, different things are impportant
to you from when you were young. A good example of this
is the way I appreciate having a calm & serene "chill out" space.

 
To start with I have used "A Moment Captured" title. This is one of the
 hundreds of great titles that 2Crafty have.
All the chippie pieces I have used were firstly coated with gesso, followed
by a wipe over with some ink in a hit & miss fashion. This creates
a great "watercolour" type of effect.

 
Here you can see I have chopped up the chippie "Corner Ivy" piece into four pieces.
I have wiped a little glue here & there on this piece & sprinkled a scattering of
matching microbeads. Creates great textrure.

 
I left the "6" Circle Revolution Frame" just plain white.

 
I have also added a few "ATC Tiny Hearts" which were simply inked in a distress ink.
These are the perfect little accessory.


 

 
Well that pretty much sums up this case file.
Hope you like my interpretation of it & perhaps you might like to
 join in & play along too.
 
Until next time.
