❤THROW BACK THURSDAY

Today as I sit here feeling cold and wishing winter would hurry up and leave, I found this gorgeous winter themed layout from past designer Kareen Dion in my favourite colour combo that she created for us back in 2017. Kareen has concentrated all her products clustered into a small area on the layout and for the chipboard she has used the Mini Bubble Squares heat embossed in white, the Genieve's Corner altered in red and the lovely Linear Snowflakes in white, before adding the "magical" from the Fine Word Set 2. A lovely mixed media layout and the perfect mix of textures and elements and lots of white space. I'm so enjoying looking back at older creations and how much talent has created for 2Crafty.

Robin is back today and has this gorgeous layout featuring her granddaughter when she was younger having a wonderful time at her favourite park. Robin has coordinated everything so perfectly with the colour of her photo and has used 2 of the lovely Carrie's Border running vertically behind the photo and they have that lovely loopy ribbon style that adds a lovely effect to the page. Fluttering around the layout, Robin has added the Freda's Butterflies and has altered them perfectly before finishing off with her title "this GIRL" which she as altered in white to pop off the darker pink/purple tones of the background.

A lovely, spring inspired layout to share today from Lisa and she has created such a warm and happy scene around her lovely family photo. For the chipboard today, Lisa has chosen to leave all the pieces in their natural raw state explaining how it ties into the timber feel on the little Laser Cut Hut on her layout. Lisa has tucked in a Tiny Filmstrip behind her photo, popping out slightly behind the embellishments. To the top left of her photo, Lisa has layered a Clock Face Frame, inside the Doily Frame which is sitting on a die cut doily and really love how this looks. To finish off, Lisa adds her title and one of the Loopy Heart Swirls to the bottom of her layout.

Today I share this gorgeous layout by Hetty Hall which she created for us back in 2018 and is a lovely summer themed mixed media layout in warm, earthy tones and a variety of chipboard pieces adding texture and contrast to the layout. Hetty as added some of the Fishing Net Bit tucked in around the photo cluster and these have been heat embossed in gold, than silver wax was randomly used in places. Tucked in amongst the flowers, Hetty added some pieces from the Fern Leaf Set and these where altered in white. To finish off, Hetty has cut her title into 2 pieces, using the bulk at the top left and the "journey" piece across the photo. Bring on summer, I'm sick of the cold.

Around the photos, Marie has added 3 of the Love You Balloons which are a super cute piece and perfect for the theme of Marie's page today.
