Merry Christmas - 49 & Market

 Seasons greetings,

What better way to get into the festivities of Christmas than using Vintage Artistry Noel collection. 

I love this Christmas collection - the 12 x 12 paper pack has 5 papers and 2 sheets of beautiful Christmas laser cut shapes to make really great Christmas layouts - all in the traditional Christmas colours. 

The base of the page in red is the paper called Painted Season. The paper Aquifolium has been trimmed down to 11"x11" and distressed before adding to the Painted Season paper. I have then cut two matting pieces from cover of the collection (which is the gold/ochre colour) and a piece from the Tradition paper. From there I have layered pieces from the Vintage Artistry Shore Ephemera pack. The frames for the photos are from the laser cut sheets.

I have used a mixture of flowers - Botanical Potpourri Bottle Green and Red flowers, and some from Blossoms Blends in red. This has then been layered together with the poinsettias, leaves and pine cones from the laser cut sheets. The pine cones have been rounded before adhering to the page.

The Santa feature in the top right corner, is made using the Santa laser die from the laser sheet, with laser cut poinsettias and leaves, and some flowers. 

Vintage Artistry rub-ons (which I love!) have added around the page to finish it off.

Wishing you and your family a joyous and festive Season.

Favourite Moments - Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty Attic fans

Wow this is the last month of this year - and what a year it has been, hasn't it?! Today I would like to share  with you my layout created for Dusty Attic for December. 

I love this photo of my daughter. She is a make-up Artist, and does these photos to promote her business via Instagram and Facebook - so of course I like to scrap these photos.

I have first started by cutting different size pieces of paper to mat my photo. Using one of the Get Framed - Circles as the frame, have painted this with Prima Alchemy metallique paint and layered this with my photo before adhering to the matted papers. This is then adhered to the page with foam tape, so that I was able to tuck in the film strip and the medallions, painted with the same paints. 

One of my favourite pieces is the Wattle Blossom, and I have used it again on this page, cutting it into smaller pieces to add among the flower cluster.

I have added Crystal Stickles to the Wattle Blossoms. 

The title was also first painted in Prima Alchemy paint, and then I added Pink Stickles on it.

Beauty - 49 and Market

Hello there,

I have created a layout using the Vintage Artistry in Colour Sage Collection with some roughly sewn rub-ons.

I have used the bonus page that is on the inside of the cover of the collection and the paper called Perennial. Inside cover page is the base and the reverse side of Perennial is cut down to 11" x 11" and the edges distressed. I love the Vintage Artistry Washi tape - and have used some of the Sage ones on this layout too. I have then used laser cuts from the Collection and some Vintage Artistry Sage ephemera layered behind the photo.  Roughly sewn rub-ons have been added. I created "paper tears" on the page and using the rub-ons looked like the tears were stitched.

Starting with the Garden Petals in Mint, I have used the bigger flowers and cut these in half tucked under the photo mat. I also cut up the laser cut leaves so these can be spread between the flower clusters. By cutting these, it adds extra to your pages. Then added some mint pixie petal flowers and fluff sugar posies to make up the rest of the clusters.

I have finished off adding a double bow in each cluster using the single ply jute.

Thanks for visiting the blog. Till next time,

Michelle

Adore - Dusty Attic

 Hello Dusty Attic fans

Today I am up on the blog with a layout created with this month's moodboard. And what a beautiful moodboard it is!

Here is my take on the moodboard

I so loved working with these colours. First I started by matting my photo, then painted the Skeleton Clock (DA1689) with Dusty in Colour paint - Dusty Pink. The clock was then cut into 2/3 for the top of the photo and 1/3 for under the photo. From here I layered a number of flowers, including Dusty Attic Frangipanis (DA2534)

The Wattle Blossoms were cut apart and inserted among the flowers.

I love the mini titles pack (DA2575) - love how these have been cut with their curly ends - and have a few titles to choose from. 

And then there are these adorable Heart Strings (DA2710) - which I have been dying to use - thought they were perfect for this layout. I have also cut the hearts off some of these  - so they could be used individually.

You can enter this months challenge using the moodboard, and post your entry to the Dusty Fanattics FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466  - we would love to see your entry, and you get a chance to win $50 worth of gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboard.

Treasure the moments that capture our heart - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market Fans

Thanks for popping over to the blog, and here I would like to show you a layout I have created using Vintage Artistry Collection, combined with a variety of flowers and Vintage Artistry Shore rub-ons.

The base page is the reverse side of Garden Notes. From there the photos were adhered to the frames off the laser cut sheet in the Vintage Artistry Butter collection. These frames were adhered to the page using some of the pieces from the Vintage Artistry Butter ephemera stack. 

Once these have been adhered, I have began to arrange the flower cluster using Maura's Vineyard Chardonnay stems, the lighter flowers from the Butterscotch Sugar petals , Cream Country Blooms and Lemon Drop Stargazers. These also included flowers, the clock and the butterflies from the laser cut sheet.

In the pack of Vintage Artistry Shore rub-ons there is a page that has a page with seaweed - but I wanted to show you how versatile these are and that by using them as foliage - and I thought these were quite effective. To finish off I have added some Fizz Wishing Bubbles

Take care,

Michelle

Cheeky, Mischief - Dusty Attic

 Hello Dusty Attic fans

Welcome to a new month - cannot believe it is November already! For my November project today, I decided to do something a little different than I usually do and also to do a masculine layout. I have used some of the older Dusty Attic chipboard.

I loved the colours of this Coco Vanilla "Boys Rule" paper and so decided that I would paint my chipboard to match. I started with adding some stencilling to the background using the Distressed Grid Stencil, and then randomly stamped over the stencilling with a script stamp.

Using one of the cog frames from the Cog Frame set, I cut the top part of it off, and added the smaller bit to the right and the bigger piece to left. 

Chicken wire was added and the matted photo then added. I have then painted the cogs in a mix of blues and greens.

Cogs were also added to the small side feature

The titles were then added once the cogs had been added

These are the products I have used

Thank you for visiting the blog

Cheers,

Michelle

Memory - 49 and Market

Hello friends

I am back today with a new layout created using papers from the Vintage Artistry Lilac and Sky collections. Here is my layout featuring my gorgeous daughter.

I have started with the Vintage Lilac Mystique paper, as my base and then cut down the Vintage Artistry Sky Admit One down to 11x11 and distressed the edges and adhered to the Mystique paper. The photo has been matted using Vintage Artistry Shore ephemera and a Vintage Artistry Coral stitched frame over the photo. 

I have added flowers from various flower packs - the pink and blue flowers from the Sugar Posies Tutti Frutti and the Sugar Posies Blue Raspberry packs, the pink and blue buds from the Sugar Stems Huckleberry and Sugar Stems Blue Raspberry packs. 

There is a mix of laser cut elements from the laser cut sheet from Vintage Artistry Sky collection, as well as laser cut shapes from the wedded bliss laser cut sheet among the flowers

I have finished off adding some wishing bubbles and the camera from the Wander Layered Embellishments. 

Thank you for visiting the blog the today,
