Hello 2Crafty fans,

This month, I was a guest designer on the CSI Colors Stories Inspiration for Case #268! When I saw the challenge I knew exactly which pictures and materials would fit perfectly, as my inspiration for this layout had been brewing ever since my husband and I took these pictures. I just needed the perfect excuse to go in "full holidays mode"! I really love Christmas time (and reindeers) and a few weeks ago I found this amazing reindeer onesies PJ that can be worn as a costume so it was a match made in heaven.

For this challenge, I chose to integrate "Christmas/Holiday Elements", "Plaid", "Frames", "Deer", "Lightbulbs" and "Poinsettias" elements on a "Wood Background". I really like the result. The dark wood background brings some warmth to the layout while allowing the chipboard items to really stand out.



For the title, "Remember moments like this", I used black embossing powder.


On the "Christmas Light Strands", I applied red embossing ink and then gold embossing ink on top. For the "Foliage set 4", I used green embossing ink and then applied diluted teal metallic paint on top.


On the "Christmas frame", I applied white-gold embossing enamel.

For this layout, I used the following chipboards:

Christmas Frame #1 [Fr0114]
Christmas Light Strands [m00606]
Remember Moments Like This [w00306]
Foliage Set 4 [m00801]


That's it for 2018 for me! I wish you the best holidays season and I can't wait to see you again in 2019! Take care and keep creating!

The magic of Christmas - for 2Crafty

Hello 2Crafty friends! 

It's Christmas season and everybody around is getting into a cheerful mood, so I have an equally cheerful layout to reveal today! It features my daughter and I after she discovered the Snapchat filters last year. 



On the "ATC Flourish 2", I've applied green ink (although it looks a bit teal on the picture) and traced the contour with black ink. Just behind, I've embossed the "Foliage Set 5" with a red embossing ink and gently tapped with white embossing ink. 


I've used pink embossing enamel on the "Frame Nella's".


On the title, "The Magic of Christmas", I applied metallic gold embossing powder.

On this layout, I used the following chipboards:
The Magic of Christmas [w00484]
Frame Nella's [fr0071]
Foliage Set 5 [m00802]
ATC Flourish 2 [atc018]



That's all for today! I hope you liked my layout and that it'll give you some inspiration. I wish you all happy holidays season! See you soon.
