Guest Designing With the 2Crafty DT Girls At
CSI Challenge Blog
"Just Hanging About"



Hi there lovelies, thanks for calling by.
Today I have a layout I created of my sweet little grandson Henry, wearing his
 "State of Origin" footy jersey.

This was for the CSI challenge blog & is based on the CSI case file #214 (see below).
Myself & some of the other DT girls from 2Crafty Chipboard
are "Guest Designers" at CSI this month.


You have to use at least three things from the "Evidence" list
along with at least one thing from the "Testimony" list,
PLUS you have to use all these colours & the sketch is optional.




2Crafty Chippies Used...
Just Hanging About - title
Retro Panel
Chevron Bits


For the title, after first coating it in some gesso,
 I simply painted it with some red acrylic paint.


Some cute little bit & pieces (quote & flair buttons) from Flutterby Designs.


Next up I coloured the 2Crafty "Retro Panel" & some of their
chippie "Chevrons" with a black ink pad, quick, easy & no mess.
I really loooove this retro panel!!!


I cut up the Retro Panel into pieces & placed them under & around
the photo to make a kind of vertical border & I still have some left
that I can use on another layout.


I really like the chipboard painted black against the bright colour background.


Lots of stamping & lots of paint thrown all over the place, and viola, all finished.

Make sure you pop over to the 2Crafty Blog & get some inspiration
from the all the 2Crafty design team girls.

Until next time.

Guest Designing With The 2Crafty Chipboard DT Girls At
C.S.I. Blog
"Happiness Is This"


Hello there lovelies, thanks so much for calling by.
Today I have a layout I did as a "Guest Designer" over at CSI blog.
Myself & some of the other DT girls from 2Crafty Chipboard
were invited to be their guest this month & play along with this case file #215.
I immediately loved these colours & this I what I came up with...


The Criteria...
Use all the colours
Use at least 3 things from the "Evidence" list
Us at least one thing from the "Testimony" list


 2Crafty Chipboard Used..
Happiness Is This - title
6" Skeleton Clock Frames
Soft Feather Set
Birdcage #1


All the chippies were firstly given a coat of gesso followed by a
coat of Lindys Stamp Gang sprays which I like to brush on instead of spraying.
Then I always follow this up by brushing over with a little water to create
 a kind of watercolour effect.


I have used all manner of flowers & vines & I have tucked in one of
the little 2Crafty Chipboard "Birdcage Set #1".
How cute is this chippie piece & it comes with the little bird too!!


I painted some Lindys spray onto a few of the flowers to achieve
the exact colour I needed to match the various chippie pieces,
plus it gives them a lovely shimmer too.


These 2Crafty "Skeleton Clock Frames" are one of my favourite
chipboard pieces. I just love to cut them in half & tuck them in here & there.


In this pic you can see the chippie "Feather Set". I think these are a real
statement piece. I painted them white & smeared them with glue & then
sprinkled them with Mica Flakes. I wished you could see just how sparkly 
they are in real life. They look sooo good but it is hard to get the sparkle
 to show in a photo.

Well thats all for today.
See you back here again in a few days with some more inspiration.

My More Than Words Challenge
November DT Reveal
"Love"


Hi there lovelies. Thanks for stopping by.
Today is the 1st of the month which means it is "reveal time" over at

I have created this layout featuring my beautiful grandaughter Mia. I did a 
photo shoot with her a few weeks ago so I have got some great new pics to scrap.
This months challenge word is SPECIAL & our creative challenge is this quote above.
 Now you can just use something OLD if you like,
OR
Just use something NEW,
OR
Use the lot ie.
"something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue"
and it DOESN'T have to be a wedding themed layout!!




My layout features my gorgeous grandaughter who is super "special" 
to me & I have added a little quote saying so. 
 
For the CREATIVE challenge I have used .......
#1. something old-old Prima flowers (sprayed to match),
 #2. something new-new pic just taken, 
#3.something borrowed - lavender Magicals borrowed from a friend
#4.  something blue-my background.


 I really really enjoyed creating this layout. You know, when it just
comes together real easy. I wish they would all do that !
 I used Lindys Stamp Gang sprays & Magicals to create my background.

I have used my favourite 49 and Market leaf stamp as well
as this mesh stamp, also from 49 and Market & teaming them
 with the Lindys Magicals to add shimmer & shine.
 

 This photo was only taken a few weeks ago & note the "fairy wings".
She looked beautiful in pink & aqua with lots of sparkles.
I wanted my layout to be super pretty & feminine.


 I coloured the chippies & flowers, all with the Lindys Magicals
to match them all with the correct colours.

I am really pleased how this turned out.

All the chipboard I have used is from 2Crafty Chipboard.


I hope you find some time to play along with us this month
over at More Than Words challenge, & as always, we have 
EIGHT PRIZES ON OFFER too.

Until next time.
