DT Work for 2Crafty

It's my turn to share my work on the 2Crafty blog today. Here are three layouts I made using the awesome 2Crafty chipboard.   "#Happy"

  These beautiful girls are my husband's nieces.  I'm making a book for Mehrnaz, and I gave her this page  when she visited a couple of weeks ago.
How awesome is this Bubbly Reed Panel?  Such a cool backdrop for a photo.  I used some circles from the Circles sheet  to sort of extend the panel to the edge of my page. I coated them with white embossing powder  to give them a crisp look against the kraft background paper.

I used red stamp ink to color the Funky Heart and then inked the edges with black ink. 

The title came from the 6 X 6 Summertime sheet and was the perfect size to layer over the photo.

"Summer Fun"

I fell in love with these awesome 2Crafty palm trees,

 and this picture my mom, sister, and nephew posing with their parrot hats 

at the Jimmy Buffett concert seemed the perfect opportunity to us them.

I covered the palm fronds with green paper 

and then stamped it to give it texture. 

The trunks were colored with brown stamp ink. 

I painted the "Fun" title from the Summertime sheet and Funky arrow yellow 

and outlined them with a pen to give these elements 

a sort of cartoon-y feel I was going for with this page.

I thought the center of the nested Zig Zag circles looked like a sun, 

so that's what I made it. I painted it yellow and added a Circle Word, 

misted with Heidi Swapp Color Shine, which gave it a fun shimmer.

The Polaroid Frames are handy for tucking into the layers to add a bit of fun. 

I painted mine yellow and saved the other part for a future layout.

That's my step-dad who passed away last year.  I gave this page, along with several others, to my mom for Christmas.  I made this layout for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration, using this Case File:

How beautiful is this 2Crafty Fine Snowflake?  It's a little big for my 8 x 8 page, but I love it so much,  I wanted to make it a highlight of my page,  and I framed part of it to draw attention to it. I embossed the snowflake with a white embossing powder  that has silver glitter in it to give it a frosty shimmer.  

I used pewter embossing powder on many of the other pieces, 

like the Chevron Bits. I love how those pieces can draw your eye 

to a photo or other element that deserves attention.

The Alpha Set 1 is a perfect size to create your own title. 

I embossed the letters with the same pewter, 

and I used a blue embossing powder for the Folk Heart.
