August 2 crafty post...

I have another layout to share with you featuring some gorgeous products.
These layouts came about as I was teaching my daughter how to use 'Heidi Swapp color shine" sprays. I gave her a little journal and she was using lot's of my masks and stencils with the sprays. As she finished with each of the masks I would rub the excess off the masks onto a piece of white cardstock , like this one....

I have then added some stitching and washi tapes and  of course some 2 crafty chipboard pieces to complete my layout.
This mask by Dina Wakely is my favourite at the moment  and the loopy font "you" was perfect to use as a  substitute on the mask!  It is coloured with a Faber Castell gelato and then stamped with a script stamp.

Another must have for me are the chevron pieces!!!! They always make the perfect embellishment!!!

And I ALWAYS seem to find myself using circles! These ones were perfect to add to this page!!

My July 2 Crafty post...

                                                Hi everyone, today I have a fun, bright ,
                                          boyish layout to share with you from my
                                                  July post on the 2 Crafty blog.

                                           This layout is all about my son rocking his 
                                   first pair of glasses! What a spunk don't you think?

I have created a mixed media background using watercolour paints, 

texture paste, sewing and stamps

As everyone probably already knows my favourite 

chipboard piece is the circular panel!

I LOVE using it and here it is a

main feature of my layout. 

This time I have left the chipboard in it's

raw form.

Another favourite piece of mine are these "film strips",
however this time I have used the outter edge
of them to create interest on my background. 
I have simply rubbed them with a black
 archival ink pad.

You also can see the chipboard stars which 
are a must on a boys layout I think!!!!
These ones are from the ATC pack, 
and I have coloured with 
Faber Castell gelatos.

More of a Piece of cake Designs...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you this grungy, boyish, fun layout today using the contents from the main kit this month from "A Piece of Cake designs".

There are lots or gorgeous papers and embellishments in this month's kit that can be used for both feminine or masculine layouts. This time I have created this one!

The  kraft cardstock was my base to begin with and using lot's of different strips of the various papers I created a background for this photo of Will taken a few years ago!
To add a grungy feel I used a sewing machine to add in some messy black stitching and added a layer or some white gesso over the background using an old credit card.

Once again I loved using the film strip stickers and this time used the basic grey scrabble letters as my title.
I painted some of the cute veneer shapes to match my circular panel.
I have added some circular panels by 2 Crafty to add some dimension to my page.
As I always do I used various stamps to add interest to my layout!

Thanks for popping by, Eb x

Always last minute!!!

Once again its a mad dash to blog the layouts I have created for various challenges this month!!  At least I'm consistent! LOL!
This layout is based on the colour challenge/mood board at Sassy Scrappers.
I loved these colours so I created my layout mostly inspired by the colours!

Lot's of watercolour paints and mists mixed with stitching and stamping and another piece from the 2 Crafty chipboard circular panel.

The next one is also a colour challenge this time for Scrap Friends......

Once again a background full of watercolour dripped down white cardstock, washi tape, and stamping not only with ink but embossed with gold embossing powder! the gold rub ons and glitter stars are all Studio Calico.

Thanks for stopping by and for your generous comments. Eb xx

2Crafty Creations

Hi again,

I just realised that I hadn't shared my last post from the 2 Crafty blog! 

So Here you go....

I have used the "Groovy Flowers" as the main focus of my page. I have covered my page with gesso as well as the chipboard pieces and used Gelatos and mists to washi tapes to create the colour.

 I have also used my all time favourite piece the "circular panel" . I often find myself reaching for this product and cutting off small pieced to add to my pages.
I also used the cute little "small butterflies". 

This layout is created based on this month's challenge at "scrap the boys".

 The challenge is a colour combo of  

                                              GREEN, BLUE & YELLOW

I love these "revolution frames". I have used the smallest one in the set and painted with gelatos and mists!

 And of course once again some more circles from the "circular panel". I love this summer photo of Will snorkelling! Perfect colour combo for this photo!

See you again soon, Eb xx
