Moments - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market Fans!

Merry Christmas to you all! This year has sure flown by rather fast! 

I have a layout to share using the ARToptions Plum Grove:

The base of my layout is the bonus sheet that is included in the Plum Grove Colored Foundations pack - I love the idea of the different coloured squares and I thought this would be really fun to embellish each square separately with photos and laser cut elements.
The lasercut elements have been added with foam tape to create layers of dimensions - which includes this gorgeous twig wreath from the Lasercut elements and flowers from the Lasercut wildflowers pack. The words added are from the Plum Grove Ephemera bits. 
Here are some more close ups of the blocks that I have layered:

The middle of the page with the title Moments (also from the Ephemera pack) has been done using rubons from the 6x8 rubon transfer pack - where I have layered rubons ontop of each other, and then added the title Moments with foam tape.
Photos have been added matting these on papers from the paper packs and frames and tags from the Ephemera pack. 

Thanks for visiting the blog, and wishing you a happy and prosperous 2023!!

Hugs,
Michelle

A Merry Christmas to you - Dusty Attic

 Hi there,

A very mery Christmas to you all! Dusty Attic has the perfect moodboard for December - the colours in the moodboard reminded me so much of Christmas.


This inspired me to create a Christmas layout - and of course Dusty Attic has some really awesome Christmas chipboard. Here is my layout:

The paper is from Celebr8  and Stamperia. The frame is one of a few sizes from the "Get Frames-Postage- Rectangular" pack (DA2675). I painted this with acrylic paint and then added stickles, and adhered the frame to the photo. 
I have then painted the Holiday Spray (DA3172) and the Merry Christmas disc (DA3149) and have adhered these to the page, placing my photo and frame in top of these for dimension.  Stickles have been added the berries of the Spray. 
I have layered flowers and then added the gorgeous little reindeer (DA3154) to the flower cluster 
The Christmas ornaments are also painted with acrylic paint and have stickles added to them. I then thread some silver thread through, and made them "hang" from the top of the page and under the photo.

The title was added from Christmas Postmark #2 (DA3148), and I finished off with some gold Prima beads added to the Holiday Spray

These are the products I have used:







Thanks for visiting the blog - wish you all a safe, happy and wonderful Festive season.

Hugs,

BEST - 49 and Market

Hi there,

Gosh - it's the final month of the year, it seems that every year goes faster and faster. I have created another layout using the beautiful Vintage Artistry Serenity. This is a photo of my daughter, which I have used a few times on layouts, but I just love it!

I have used the paper "Peaceful Notions" from the Vintage Artistry Serenity 12x12 Collection paper pack and the blue behind the torn bits is the Paper 3, from the Vintage Artistry 12x12 Solids paper pack. I have used the same paper to cut a matt for my photo, as well using some Ephemera added behind for more matting. Once I had added the matting, I adhered the photo to the page using thick foam tape so that I was able to tuck bits under the photo. I then added the word BEST from the Serenity12x12 rubons Sentiments pack.
Using the other Serenity 12x12 rubons pack, I added some rubon leaves to the top right of the photo and the bottom left of my photo. I then began to build up my flower cluster using the Salt Wildflowers Paper flowers, and adding the fussy cut leaves using foam tape to create dimension.
In these clusters I have added Serenity chipboard pieces like the round pieces and the hearts. I have also added some elements from the Serenity Lasercut pieces. As I had used most of the blue flowers and leaves from the Lasercut sheets on a previous layout, I made use of the bonus pieces on the back of the cover page of the collection pack - there are flowers and leaves that can be cut out too.
The green leaves are included in the Wildflowers pack. I have finished off adding a rubon butterfly and the sentiment LOVED to the page.
These rubons are so amazing!

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Have a wonderful Festive Season!

Hugs,
Michelle

Adorable - Dusty Attic

Hello lovelies

Anyone else feel like "where did this year go"? I am sure it was January not too long ago? And here we are in December already! Here is my December project:

The layout has been created using a Mintay range of papers. I used the Leafy Frame DA1358 - and I cut about a third of of a piece off the large circular frame, painted it with acrylic paint before adhering to my page. 
I then matted my photo and tucked into the bottom of the frame under some of the branches and leaves of the frame. I then started layering my fussy cut flowers.
Once I had finished layering my flowers, I added the little beehives DA3313 and the little bees DA3314 (also painted with acrylic paint). Aren't these just adorable?
Then I added the pine sprigs DA3174 (also painted with acrylic paint) through the flower cluster 
I added the title from the hashtag sayings no 2 pack - DA1597

These are the products I have used:




Wishing you all a wonderful festive month, and safe travels!

Take care,
Michelle
