Happiness - 49 & Market

Hello there,

I hope you have all had a good Festive season. This year seems to have gone by in a blur, and it feels just like yesterday that I was writing up my last blog post for 2020, and here we are again - the end of 2021 and my last project for 49 & Market for 2021.

This Vintage Artistry in Colour Teal has to be one of my favourite collections (although I think I say that about all their collections ;)
Here I have used the Vintage Artistry Teal Flutter paper to create my layout. The photo is framed with a Vintage in Artistry Essentials Whitewash chipboard frame, with Vintage Artistry Teal Ephemera added behind the frame. This is then added to the paper with foam tape.
I then added a mixture of White Heron Rustic Bouquet and BlueJay Rustic bloom flowers with laser cuts from the Vintage Artistry Teal paper collection, also adding a camera paper clip. 


I created a cluster using the same flowers and laser cuts at the top right corner of the photo, adding sequins from the laser cut sheets to the flowers. These are them coated with Stickles. Teal Wishing Bubbles and Baubles have been added among the flower cluster. 
I have added the rub-on beads and sequins from the Vintage Artistry Teal Rub-ons and some wording down the right side of the photo.

Thank you for visiting the blog today. Wishing you a wonderful rest of 2021, and wishing you all a happy and safe 2022!

I will be back for 2022, for which promises to be another bumper year of awesome scrapbooking products from 49 and Market.

Take care,
Michelle

Outdoors - 49 Market

Good day friends

I am so in love with this Vintage Artistry Naturalist Collection, I had to create another layout with it.

The base paper is the reverse side of the Vintage Artistry Naturalist Meadow paper. The paper on top of this, is the reverse side of the Vintage Artistry Naturalist Rainforest paper - cut down to 11" x 11", distressed along the edges before adhering to the Meadow paper in the centre. I then added layers of Naturalist Ephemera behind the photograph before adhering to the page with foam tape.
The frame is from the lasercut sheets included in the collection pack - love the log look of it. I then layered flowers and leaves from the same laser cut sheet, adding the butterfly and adding the word Outdoors from the Ephemera pack - finishing off with a triple bow under the wing above the Outdoor tag.
I then added the Roughly sewn stitching by cutting to fit. 
I ended off adding a feature to the middle of the right side of the page - using Ephemera, lasercut pieces and a chipboard sticker "days to remember". I also a little bit of rub-ons from the Anywhere rub-ons pack, like in the bottom corners of the page.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous Festive season.

Take care,
Michelle

Simply Amazing - Dusty Attic

 Hello lovelies,

Gosh can you believe it is December already? This year has sure gone by in a blur! I am back on the blog today with my December project:

The photo is compliments Pixel.com - isn't she a wee cutie? I have used paper and fussy cutting elements from a Uniquely Creative paper range. I painted all the chipboard first. The first step I did was to use the Mystic Frame #2 DA1745. This I cut in half at the circle and split them apart before adhering to the page. I added the photo with scrap pieces of chipboard so that it lay level with the Mystic Frame, and adding a tab from DA1802 "Always & Forever"
I also cut the creative script chipboard DA2201 in half and adhered on either side of the photo 
I then layered my flowers and fussy cut elements, adding in the various mini  foliage DA2786 between these as I added the layers.


Lastly I added the title Simply Amazing DA2747 before adding sequins and pearls.

These are the products I have used:






Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Till next time,
Michelle

Make today so awesome - Dusty Attic

Hello lovely Dusty Attic Fans

For us down in New Zealand the days are getting longer and warmer - and I am loving the summery weather.

As we head to the end of the month, I thought I would pop in quickly with a layout for the November moodboard challenge - you still have some time, it's weekend and a perfect opportunity to create something for the monthly challenge and your chance to win AUD50 worth of Dusty Attic chipboard goodies. Post your entries to the Dusty FANattics facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466

Here is the moodboard for November:

Here is my take on the moodboard:

Using paper from the  49 and Market Vintage Artistry Everyday collection, I fussy cut some leaves first from the Zealous paper and used the paper Garden Variety as my base. I then paint all the chipboard, before putting my layout together. Firstly, I added layers of different paper and ephemera behind my photo. The Ornate Circle frame off DA2271 is the smaller of the two frames in the pack, plus I have used the negative of the circle between the large and smaller frame. These were painted in green and I added touches of Prima wax to these. I adhered these to the page first before adding my photo and paper layers.
The flower clusters were then built up, and I added the mini film strips DA2511, the small wildflowers #3 DA1143, a bee DA1669 and a mini watering can DA2802 into the cluster



And isn't this quote sentiment off Sentiment pack #4 DA2585 just fabulous "make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous" - I love it!
Once I completed the layout I added splatters of bronze paint to the layout. 
I hope that this inspires you to take part in the November moodbaord challenge - I would love to see your creations on the Dusty FANattics facebook page.

Take care,
Michelle

Walk on the Wild Side - 49 & Market

Hello 49 & Market Fans

I am back today with a layout created using the newly released Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection. 

The base of my layout is the paper called Meadow. I then made a "look a like book" using some of the Naturalist Ephemera and the Bookplates. This has been made with foam tape layers to create the book. The flower cluster is made using the Cranberry Rustic Bouquet flowers, added with laser cut leaves abd flowers from the 12 x 12 collection pack.
The little heart in the flowers is off the chipboard stickers. 
The title of "walk on the wild side" is off the laser cut sheet.

I have tucked tags on either side of the booklet and then added rubon stitching of the Naturalist rubons, and I have also added rubon leaves above the booklet and also in the top right corner of the page.
The "lace" at the top of the page is off the bar code strip of the Meadows paper which I have fussy on the edges to create the lace edge adhering to the page, and added rubon stitching to the lace.

The embellishment at the top of the page is made using the chipboard stickers, firstly the round chipboard that reads "outside" then adding the elastic ribbon off the laser cut sheets with foam tape and then adding the chipboard "joy in living" 

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Till next time,
Michelle

Treasure these moments - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies,

Another amazing new release that I am lucky to feature here - Vintage Artistry in Colour Mango Collection. These colours are just exquisite and so rich and deep.

The base of my layout is the Vintage Artistry in Colour Mango Orange Blossom paper and I have used the reverse side. From here I have first added the window and shutter feature from the laser cut sheet that is included in the 12 x 12 paper collection, before layering some Mango Ephemera behind the this and adhering the layers to the page with foam tape.I have not stuck down the shutter ends so as to be able to tuck embellishments under it and give it that "open" look.
I have then added layers of flowers and leaves from the Marigold Rustic Blooms flower pack and the laser cut flowers.
The "elastic" is also from the laser cut sheet - aren't they amazing? They look so real - but it is paper. I cut this so that I was able to let it look like it was wrapped under the layers around the paper. The strip with the word "perfect" is the name strip off the paper, there some other words but I chose "perfect" to adhere to the bottom of the photo.
Once I had finished layering the flowers and the leaves, I added some Vintage Artistry Mango wishing bubbles and baubles among the flower clusters. 
I also created a feature at the top of the page - using Vintage Artistry Mango rubons - and I used a flower rubon first before adding the flowers and the title "Treasure these moments" (from the laser cut sheet).
To finish off I added some flower rubons under the flower clusters and all the rubon beads around the layers and the photos.

I hope you love this beautiful colour as much as I have.

Take care,
Michelle

Love - Dusty Attic

Hello!

What a glorious moodboard Dusty Attic has for us this October month. The colours are just so pinkalicious!

These gorgeous pink shades are just beautiful! Here is my layout created using the moodboard as inspiration.

The 49 and Market blush collection is just perfect for this moodboard. I have torn the pages and adhered. I used the Starry Night Stencil (DA1763) to create some texture in the background before adding paint splatters in dark pink. I mixed a pink and orange paint to provide the colour for the fence (DA2563) adhering this under the photo.
I have then layered flowers, lace and die cuts
The tabs (DA1803) are wonderful to use on projects - with different words to use. I have chosen the tab "darling" for my layout - dabbing paint lightly on the chipboard piece so as not to fill the letters with paint.
The title "love" is painted Dusty in Colour Raisin and adhered on top of the flowers.

Why not enter the moodboard challenge for your chance to win one of two $50 Dusty Attic chipboard prize pack? Create a project using Dusty Attic chipboard and enter your project on the Dusty FANattics facebook page - here is the link -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466

Filled with Joy - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies 

Introducing a new collection - Vintage Artistry in Color - Teal. Teal is one of my favourite colors, and I was quite excited to get a chance to play with this new collection. 

This collection is simply beautiful. I used the paper called Breeze from the 12 x 12 Paper Collection Pack as my base. Another new release are the White Washed Chipboard frames in different sizes - I have used the large rectangular frame for the photo, and adding some Vintage Essential Artistry Hardware frame hangers (also a new release) to the frames. The laser cut elastic band and bow are from the laser cut sheet in the collection pack.  I then layered the Teal Ephemera and different sizes of the White Washed Chipboard frames behind the photo. 
Once I had completed the layering of the Ephemera and the Frames, I adhered this to the page with foam tape, and then layered laser cut flowers and the new blooms - White Heron Rustic Blooms with their leaves to the photo frame. 
I then layered some Teal Ephemera and Teal Wishing Bubbles and Trinkets among the flowers.
I have then used a mixture of Mango and Teal Rub-ons to the page. I love how the Mango and Teal work so well together. I even added some to the edges of the White Washed Chipboard frame.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Till next time, 
Michelle
