My Second Share for April for 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi everyone

 

Just popping in to share my second layout for 2Crafty Chipboard for April. 

 

It's titled:

"A Moment Captured"

 

 

Another bright layout.

 

This one is about a drive in the car that the kids and I do quite regularly that's long and there's not a lot of scenery to look at along the way, or towns to stop in, so we make our own fun.

 

Yep it involves singing, laughing, and lots of nonsense!

 

 

For this layout I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard: 

 

"Circular Panel"

"Trudi's Vine"

"A Moment Captured Title"

"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars"

 

 

 

I just love that floral border called "Trudi's Vine". 

 I painted this black and placed it down the left side of my layout.

 

 

 

It's just gorgeous!

 

I also painted the "A Moment Captured title" in black.

 

 

 

I cut out some circles from the "Circular Panel" and painted some in pink and some in yellow to go with the colour theme of my layout.

 

 

 

I also painted some of the little hearts from the "ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" pack in pink and yellow too.

 

 

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite pieces of chippy,

and is appearing on most of my layouts. 

 

 

 

I love how they fill in those little spots and bring the layout together.

 

I added the painted chippy around the vine piece and then added more embellishments - flowers, brads, tags, quotes, acrylic pieces, and flairs.

 

 

 

I have used a flair and some cool musical quotes and acrylic music notes all from my very own

Kit the Habit.

 

LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

They were just perfect for this story.

 

 

Well that's it  from me!

 

I hope you enjoy my bright, colourful and fun layouts.

 

My first April share for 2Crafty Chipboard - Video Tutorial!!

Seriously?!?

It's April?

 

When and how did that happen??

 

So that means its time to share my first layout designed for 2Crafty Chipboard this month.

 

It's titled

"Living the Dream"

 

Yep lots of colour!!!

 

 

 

This photo was taken on our recent family trip to the USA, specifically in Houston. 

Oh how I loved this wall!!

I knew I had to scrap it, but I wasn't sure how to capture the colour and grunginess of it.

So I decided to start with bright paint and go from there......

 

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard on this layout:

 

"Circle Frames"

"Stars"

"ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars"

"Chevron Bits"

"Living the dream title"

 

 

I painted the "Living the Dream" title black. 

 

 

 

 

I also painted some of the "Stars" black too, plus a few of the gorgeous little stars in the

 "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars".

 

Some of these starts I then applied Glossy Accents to give them a resin like finish.

 

 

 

As I was working with a lot of bright colour, I wanted to add quite a bit of black to my layout.

This gave it a 'grungy' feel rather than a rainbow feel, and also really grounded the page.

 

I painted some of the "Circle Frames" in a lime and vibrant blue.

 

 

 

To grunge these up a little, I added some random stamping with black ink.

 

 

 

I painted some of the "Chevron Bits" in orange, and then added some black ink to keep with the grunge feel.

 

 

 

I've also created a VIDEO TUTORIAL of this page so you can watch how my layout

came together.....

 

 

 

You will see I changed my mind on colours as I went!

 

It really shows that I start with a plan, but it always changes along the way.

 

 I'm still very new to this Video Tutorial business, so I hope you take the time to watch it, and I hope you enjoy it.

 

I'll be back again real soon.

 

Love Tam
