2 Crafty Chipboard September's layouts including a Video Tutorial

   
Hi there! 
Today I share with you my September projects....
This first layout 'Smile' is of my daughter & the gorgeous 2 Crafty Chipboard 
pieces I have used on the page......

'Smile'


With such a bright fun page I still wanted these chipboard piece's to shine & what better way to do this than to give them all a couple of coats of gesso or white paint if you don't have any gesso.....

I have added some different colour Kaisercraft - Pearls to the center of these VERY Groovy chipboard flowers.. 
 they look great don't you think!


I also gave this Smile title an ever so lightly stamp using a grey ink and Kaisercraft - Dictionary stamp.... 



For my second page I have created a step by step video tutorial... 
'You'
 
2 Crafty Chipboard pieces I have used...
 

Please click on the the link to watch how I went about creating this page! :)
I do hope you enjoy it and get a couple of great idea's or tips!

Scrap Around The World Design Team mid Month reveal

Hi there!
Today I share with you my project for the DT mid Month reveal for Scrap Around The World

Just a remember of 
This month's mood board was created by Lydie Denis,
our French Design Team member. 
The mood board is imbued with a vintage atmosphere of the antique: 
yellowed books, distressed wood, stained paper, ink, nib,
old journals. As a contrast to these images,
there is also a beautiful, pink rose - fresh & delicate.
This mood board is sure to entice everyone who loves vintage!
Even if your style is more contemporary, you can still find 
lots of great inspirations in it: colors, hand-writing, tags, strings, 
flowers, wood patterns & of course the amazing quote!


Once again the first thing that court my eye was the colors, along with the book & the twine..




Cluster of Green Tara, Petaloo,Kaisercraft Collectables, Gabrielle Pollacco leave stamp & 2 Crafty 
Rose Vine border chipboard...


Lots of Stamping


2 Crafty Live Laugh Love chipboard title
Products: 
Kaisercraft – Basecoat, All That Glitters &
Kaisercraft –  Collectables – All That Glitters & Cherry Blossom
2 Crafty chipboard – Rose Vine border, Live Laugh Love title
Flowers – Petaloo, Prima & Green Tara.
Stamps – Tim Holtz, Bo Bunny, Gabrielle Pollacco leave stamp & 7 Dots Studio
