Hello Happiness Layout!

Hi there!

Well I'm back to share my last project with you as part of my Guest DT work here at my2angels. Firstly I want to say a big thank you to Tracy for having me, I have had a ball and loved playing with such gorgeous products!!

So my last project I have created is a layout.

Firstly I created the background for my page using mists.  I used the Kaiser Chase Rainbows for this layout.  My2angels products I used are the gorgeous Love you to the Moon and Back Silver Key, yummy cherry blooms, Stemmed Star Flowers White and also Transparent Glass Cabochons  to finish off my page.

Some close ups.

That's all from me.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed the products I have shared with you over the last few weeks.  

Again a big thank you to Tracy, just love your unique and handmade embellishments.  I think it's time for a little shopping and stock up........

Until next time.

Something A Little Pretty!

Hi there!

My name is Tania and I am super excited to join my2angels Scrapbooking as Guest DT for this month :)

My first project I wanted to share with you is a set of cards I made using lots of gorgeous  my2angels products!

I have made my cards very layered using some pretty patterned papers, some of Kaisers Cottage Rose collectables and my2angels products used - Cap It Pink Mothers Treasure, Pink and Antique Bronze Charming Pin, Family Silver and White Charming Word,  Pink Together Charming Word, Girlfriends Ribbon, Premade White Satin Bows, Baker's Twine Blossom Light Pink and White, Double C Bling Ribbon Slide, Daisy Charms - Small, I Love You Postcard Silver Charms, Silver Key Charms, Velvet Ribbon with Silicon Swirls - Deep Pink, Antique Bronze Square Filigrees, and all the flowers I have used on the cards are also from my2angels. Once I had added all my embellishments to the cards I finished them off by flicking a little black mist randomly over the top.

Below are some close ups.

How gorgeous is the  Pink Together Charming Word - Tracy makes them all by hand!  You won't find them anywhere else so pop over to her website and see all the gorgeous handmade products she sells, you won't be disappointed!

The handmade product,  Cap It Pink Mothers Treasure tucked in a cluster of my2angels flowers and key charms - perfect for journalling!

And one more handmade product Family Silver and White Charming Word.  Love all of the word embellishments, so easy to title or journal your creations

Well that's all from me today, I do hope you will pop back in the next few days as I will have a couple of OTP projects to share with you all.  

Until next time, thanks for stopping by I hope I have inspired you all a little!!  Happy creating,

Happiness is ... (a Vintage Charming Dangle)

I don't get as much time to scrap as I would like these days - so you know it has to be something special to get me to MAKE time. But when Tracy dangled this lovely little bauble under my nose, with the promise I could have one so long as I scrapped it - I knew I HAD to make some time.  The dangle is part of the Vintage Dreams kit available here on facebook here

Luckily for me I had also just received some stunning photos taken (by a friend) of my daughter - and one of them was perfect for the dangle.

So I rummaged around through my flowers and charms from my2angels - and came up with the following...

The leaves for the flowers started off as white mulberry paper leaves - I dyed them with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink (oos) over which I sprayed some gold Glimmermist. To get the two tones - I then over daubed it with the Distress Ink again.

The flowers are a combination of 2 tone brown cherry blossoms, deep ivory hip roses (I just adore these), 2 tone chocolate brown roses and some white magnolia type flowers.The larger blossoms have been sprayed with the gold Glimmermist and then dried with a heat gun until a slightly 'toasted' colour appears. An oldie but a goodie is the laughter charming word embellishment.

To match in with the chipboard pieces - I added in some of my favourite bronze clock charms - the antique clock and the curly numbers clock. And no flower collection is complete without a butterfly - so I popped a butterfly antique filigree clip into the largest flower cluster. I also used one of the 25mm glass cabochons with a little of the patterned paper - to make one of the cluster embellishments. Another new addition is the large antique bronze key - to which I added a small two tone brown rose and some bronze chain.

The pièce de résistance of course - is the lovely brown and ivory, sparkly glass Vintage Charming Dangle that is Tracy's latest creation. It has a vintage, antique feel to it - and frankly - I would be buying two of them and using them as earrings they are so pretty.

So check them out in the store and grab your own - you know you need one (or two even).

NEW ARRIVALS in store at my2angels

Hopefully everyone has survived any Halloween madness your suburb has indulged in. Now it's time to welcome in November - the last month of sanity and dieting before the insanity and feasting that is Christmas!

This month, my2angels welcomes a new addition to our Charming Caps range - at last Dad can play along with the heart stealing (because of course every little girl has stolen her Daddy's heart) with this lovely "stole my heart" range of pretty, glittery, cap embellishments.

As usual, you can select from a range of pretty colours ...

And also introducing this lovely "family" filigree. Perfect for family layouts.

New Chippy and Charm packs

The big reveal - this new embellishment range has been a long time in the planning. It started with a suggestion at a scrapping convention a few years ago by the awesome Andrew from Scrapmatts. It all sat on hold due to life and all its funny ups-and-downs and now has finally gotten itself together.

Introducing a partnership between 2 of my favourite products - chipboard and charms. Themed collections that will help you quickly and easily match your chipboard and charms for layouts and cards.

Our first five kits - "Down by the Sea", "Sail Away", "Ho Ho Ho", "Festive Fair" and "Moments in Time" are now available.

Each kit comes with a coordinating range of chipboard and metal charms. Creating a layout or making a card couldn't be easier with all the guesswork taken out of your embellishment choices.

And priced at a reasonable $3.99-$5.50 you can afford to buy all 5 kits.

"Down by the Sea"

Hmmm - should have called this 'under the sea' - all I can hear is a singing hermit crab. ;)
Check out these gorgeous underwater chippy pieces and matching beach themed silver charms. You'll be singing away in no time with this lovely set.

"Sail Away"

It's anchors away with this lovely selection of nautically themed chippy  - which matches beautifully with the silver sea life, anchor and compass charms. You might want to check out how well they match a certain Kaiser paper range we have in-store at the moment. 

 

"Ho Ho Ho"

my2angels' very own Xmas present to you - a gorgeous chippy sleigh, ornament and Xmas title. Match them with the assortment of silver Xmas charms and you'll be "Ho Ho Ho-ing" through your seasonal layouts and Xmas card making.

 

"Festive Fair"

With cute little mittens, candy canes galore, gingerbread men, Xmas trees and so much more - this 'Festive Fair' kit will keep you scrapping through the night. Isn't that gingerbread house a stunner?

"Moments in Time" 

You can't go wrong with a selection of chippy and silver charm clocks. You'll find a layout or card for them in no time at all. ;)

Embellishments make every Layout special

Every layout is unique, and what better way to make your layouts special than to use my2angels embellishments.

You can use charms, flowers, Tracy's amazing creativity and your own bits and pieces to make your layouts stand out from the crowd.

My latest layout is for a challenge - the colours and the elements I've used fit the criteria, but the embellishments on my layout wont be the same as anyone else's.

The theme is entertainment, and I'm afraid that I am past the bright lights, loud music and excitement of nightclubs, bars and parties. I much prefer a good book, some music and a cup of tea in my sun room, looking out over my sometimes unruly garden. (Not that I can't be persuaded into a glass of wine or two now and again... LOL!!)

I've used torn up music paper and gesso to mute the background paper and form a base for my added texture. Just white texture paste through the Crafters Workshop Butterfly Collage Template.

 

I wanted to add an edge to grunge up the paper just a little so I used the Kaisercraft Texture stamp - Film Edges, along with Stazon Timber Brown ink and Sky Blue Archival ink for this.

The ''tea'' stains were made with Tea Dye Distress Ink and whatever round bottomed thing was on my desk at the time - I think it was the Texture Paste jar.

The blue ''shadows'' under and around my embellishments and in the corners were brushed on with diluted Sky Blue Archival ink, along with a thin coat of Iridescent Medium which didn't add any colour, but gave the dull ink a pretty shine.

There are three small embellishment clusters, each with its own my2angels addition. Besides the usual beautiful flowers - Baby Blue, Creamy Butter and Brown Cherry Blossoms, small Red Roses and Red Rose buds - there is a Silver Teapot charm coloured with Brown and Gold Inka Gold peeking out from under the flower....

Next, I made the bird embellishment using an Antique Bronze Square Filigree (I cut off the edge to make it round, and a bit smaller and more delicate), and a tiny bird from some patterned paper under a Transparent Glass Cabochon. Absolutely unique :)

Finally, framing another small bird, is a BEAUTIFUL, BRAND NEW my2angels creation. An Antique Bronze Heart with a rose scattered chain attached, finished with a pretty glass bead dangle. I'll be needing this one in all colours! Love it!!

These will sell out FAST - get yours before I get them all.... LOL!

Friends layout with Kaisercraft Silver Bells

It is no surprise that I am in LOVE the new Kaisercraft Silver Bells - pink and silver Christmas papers are my absolute fav!  

However, the reverse side of Good Tidings is also a favourite - soft tones of blue, grey and white in a woodgrain pattern. So thinking outside the square and working on photos of my daughter with her friend.

Friends Scrapbooking Layout

Starting with corrugated card and tearing up Good Tidings and applying gesso over the torn edges of the pattern paper and exposed corrugated card.  When gesso is dry, ink with Sky Blue Archival Ink

Randomly, stamp with Kaisercraft Flutter Clear Stamp with black ink

Add modelling paste, trellis die cuts (thanks Shelley for use of her die!) then sprinkle Frozen Blueberry Sugar Beads randomly over the paste.

Mount your photo with cardstock, then corrugated card - saves on your foam tape BUT make sure you have the cardstock between your photo and card, as it isn't acid free. 

Mist your gesso and texture paste.  

Then embellish with our blue stemmed flowers (I added a little glimmer mist in the centres to match the misting), small metal flowers, friends charm, silver key charm and jump ring

   

black gardenia (swiped with gesso and sky blue ink), black rose buds and butterflies from our Classic Tones Flutterbies.

  

 

Adding the remainder of my title and finished.

I can't wait to start on the pretty pink papers in the paper pack!

I  might actually get around to scrapping my dd's first Christmas photos!  She is only 16!
