Hope you are having a warm & sunny day here in my part of the world spring is not breaking through yet! So for this post I made a couple of happy spring feeling tags sometimes it's very therapeutic to just make tags and fussy cut a little in front of the tv. My first tag is with a picture of my husband and I the 20th of this month we had our 12 year wedding anniversary.

The ATC banner was just altered with some white gesso and some wax. On the word arrow I added three layers of white embossing powder to create a thick layer.

Our Story Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & Playing with this months challenge at *Dress My Craft* !!

Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are enjoying your day! I am always in my happy place while creating for 2Crafty Chipboard and all their lovely chipboard designs I just can't imagine to not use their chipboards on my work as they are so detailed and wonderfully designed. For this layout I have used some papers by 49 and Market as I was dying to digg in and again they don't disappoint. They are such a great fit together that I started a new page already. For this layout I have used a picture of my husband & I at a party called "Sensation White" way back {feels like a lifetime ago} enjoy my post.... 

Our Story:  

2Crafty Chipboard used: 

Steampunk Gears Medium

12-x-12 Nested Cog Frames

Square Barbed Wire Frames

Steampunk Gears Small

Mini Word Set 3

Mini Number Panels

Arrow Word Set 2

Bulldog Clip Set

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

This time I haven't treated the chipboard pieces a lot since I didn't want them to be shiny or have a lot of color. The nested cog frame that I used around my photo is the only piece that I wanted to stand out from my work so that one I gessod two times with white gesso & used embossing powder on{blue with a pink shimmer on it} 

I have used the large one of the square barbed wire frames and just gessod it with two layers of white gesso and the cut it in pieces to later add them on my nested cog frame after that I used some charcoal black wax what I also did with the rest of my chipboard pieces. 

Only on the gears I used a thin layer of gesso and left some parts of them a little more raw. For the bulldog clips I just added a word from the 49 and Market collection that I raised up with some foam tape. To soften my page I added some white spray & matte white wax. 

With this layout I will be participating in this months challenge on the Dress My Craft Facebook Group you had to be inspired by the winner of last month she made a lovely card for a wedding. I was inspired by the word "Blessed" as I am very blessed to be married to this lovely man, next saturday the 20th we are married for 12 years and I am still happy in love the other part that got me inspired are the cute roses on the bottom of her card.

"Spring Vibes" First Journaling Pages Playing at ***Lindy's Gang March 2024 Color Challenge***!

Hi lovely friends,
I would like to share with you my first journal pages ever it felt a lot like making a scrapbook page but then smaller ;-) {I kinda love it} I just couldn't let the march color challenge go by without making something else I love the "Alexandra's Artist" set so much it makes my heart happy....
I have used all the colors of the set!

Spring Vibes:

I totally love these colors from the set but I have my favorites like "Tara's Wild Malve" &

"Jana's Jade" with the last one I added a stencil on my background just by adding that color to my white crackle paste with a little water. Then I used a script stencil also the same way as before I only added the "Martina's Marigold" to my paste. 

This color challenge gave me such spring vibes that I used the pretty new collection here and there on my pages by Prima Marketing called "In Full Bloom" I also used some different flowers by prima and a older stamp designed by Valerie Ouellet that she disgned back in 2017 for 49 and Market. 

I also added some rubons to both my pages and some cute little eggs that I bought at Temu and I cute them in half and coloured them with some of colors from the set. Then I added them to my flower clusters. 

After I added the stencils I took out my whole set and water colored on the background which I also did for the first time and I also added some water oh that was very fun to do ;-)  Now for some close ups look below...

I also added some beautiful flower & leaf stamps and colored them with the set then I added some phrases from Tim Holtz 

And also some phrases from the "In Full Bloom" collection I had a lot of fun creating these pages I hope you enjoyed my post. 

This is the color challenge at Lindy's Gang Blog beautiful colors & happy spring feeling. For this color challenge we had to use the pretty Alexandras Artists Magicals Set which has such gorgeous spring like soft toned colors that I could not resist playing a second time.

Love Your Gorgeous Smile Embroidery Hoop for *2Crafty Chipboard* & Playing at *Lindy's Gang March 2024 Color Challenge*!!!

 Hello my lovely friends, 

I am so happy you are visiting my blog today for this post I made a embroidery hoop. I really enjoy working with all the pretty chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard. For this hoop I have of course used a photo of Abbey and I wanted to give you all a spring feeling with my hoop. Enjoy my post....

Love Your Gorgeous Smile:

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Circle Dot Frames
Leafy Shrub Set 2
Arrow Word Set 2
Your Smile is Like Sunshine
Fine Word Set 2
Hand Drawn Flowers

I gave all the chipboard pieces two coats of white gesso and then I altered them in different ways. The title "Your Smile" was coloured with several matte acrylic paints and the word "Gorgeous"  I gave two layers of white embossing powder to make it a little shiny. I also did that with the arrow and the word "Love"

For the dotted circle frame I also altered it with matte acrylic paint & spray paints and when that was dry I added flatback crystals to match my embroidery hoop. The swirls and leaves are treated with some sprays, metallique paints & posca pens in different colours. I finished of my hoop by adding some white spray.

This is the color challenge at Lindy's Gang Blog beautiful colors & happy spring feeling. For this color challenge we had to use the pretty Alexandras Artists Magicals Set which has such gorgeous spring like soft toned colors that I could not resist playing.
