Special - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market friends

I am thrilled to be able to show you a layout created with the some of the new releases this month  - using new products from the Vintage Artistry Essentials Collection

 
I have used papers and laser cuts from the Vintage Artistry Essentials paper collection. Starting first with adding the fence from the laser cut sheet and adding to my page using foam tape. The photos are framed using Vintage Artistry Essentials 3x4 Frame Set and then placing the round laser cut branch frame entwined around the photos. Place the film strip from the Vintage Artistry Essentials chipboard sticker sheet at an angle under the photos and adhere this to the page
Once this was adhered, I began layering the Sugar Posies blue raspberry flowers and the leaves from the laser cut sheet around my photos.
I have then added other chipboard stickers among the flowers and leaves, as well as epoxy stickers from the Vintage Artistry Sky Wishing Bubbles and Baubles. 
I have also added rub-ons to my page from the Vintage Artistry Sky/Navy Rub-ons, as well as adding rub-on words on the tabs of the frames.

Then there are the gorgeous new metal clips that have also been released - and in my layout I have used the envelope clip on the photos and the arrow clip at the top of the page. These are fabulous and come in Dark Greige and Rose Gold. 



Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Michelle

Simply Amazing - Dusty Attic

Hello lovelies

The March moodboard is simply gorgeous - and here is my take on it

These colours are just simply beautiful .. I really loved working with this moodboard. I have used DA2733 - Feathers by Nuneka; DA2859 - Industrial Cogs scaled; DA2868 and DA2869 - Industrial wings scaled to create the elements for my page.


I have only used 3 various shades of paint and have painted the gears and wings in different colours before layering among the fussy cut flowers. 

I have then taken the sentiment from the DA2545 quoted sentiments pack that reads "Paradise has never been about places. It exists in moments and connections". I have dabbed this with a gold wax before adhering to my layout. I have also added some Mini Seagulls DA2686 to the layout - inspired by the moodbaord.

I have finished off adding the title "Simply Amazing"

Absolutely Beautiful - 49 & Market

Hello lovelies

I am back today with a layout using paper from the Vintage Artistry Collectors Edition Volume 1 - paper 5 and elements from the Vintage Artistry Blush Collection.

I have started by using the frame on my photo (photo credit - pixabay) - the frame is off the laser cut sheet in the Vintage Artistry Blush Collection, behind this I have added the envelope, doily and viewfinder disc (from the Vintage Artistry Blush Ephemera pack) behind the photo, before adhering to the page with foam tape.
From here I have layered the flowers, the leaves and the butterflies from the Blush laser cut sheet. I have also added Enchanted Petals Ballet Slipper. 
I have added a mixture of  the Blush and Sage wishing bubbles and baubles between and on the flowers and leaves. 
The title "absolutely beautiful" is also from the Blush laser cut sheet.

The butterflies have been added by gluing down the bodies and then adding foam tape under the wings close to the body so that the wings stand up. Glitter has been added to the wings. I have then added some lace under some of the leaves and flowers.

Thank you for visiting the blog today!

Unforgettable moments - Dusty Attic

Hello friends,

I can't believe we are in March already - the last two months seem to have gone in a blink of an eye! With a new month, comes a new project and here is my layout created for March

I started with the smaller of the distressed frame first, by painting this and then adhering this to the photo. I also painted the DA1144 leafy stem - and I cut this that I had one smaller piece and one larger piece. This was painted in a very light peach colour (but its showing up more silver in the photo). I then arranged these under the photo before layering the flowers and fussy cut elements.


I painted the title and the mini foliage in the same colours. Once I had completed my layering of the flowers and the elements, I added the mini foliage and the part of the title "moments". As I started adding the "unforgettable" with the "u" on the leaf, I had to continue adding foam tape the middle letters to keep the same height across. 


These are the products I have used:




Have a great March, and I will be back sometime with my March moodboard project.

Thanks
Michelle

Escape - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market friends

I am so excited about sharing today's post, because my layout features many new products that are being released next month, and this is only the tip of the iceberg - as there is lots more exciting products coming........ 

The paper is Vintage Artistry Everyday Solitude paper. Featured here are the brand new Vintage Artistry Anywhere Embellishments - which are the Rub-Ons, Ephemera and Bubbles and Trinkets. There will be a full collection pack of gorgeous papers and laser cuts sheets in this range too. Also featured on my page is the new Frame Sets and the Vintage Artistry Essentials Foliage.
Even amid our stricken travels, thanks to Co-vid, this new Vintage Artistry Anywhere Collection is sure to delight - and perfect to create those special memories. As I have done here with our cruise that we did back in March 2019. It certainly bought back memories of the lovely cruise we had - and isn't that the best thing about scrapbooking, it's about those memories.

The new Vintage Artistry Anywhere Ephemera has new elements which now include words, and other lovely shapes and layering elements. 

The new Vintage Artistry Anywhere Rub-ons are also gorgeous - I have cut these up and added these around my page, as you can see in this photo above and in the photo in the left corner below. They are perfect - looks like I have been stamping, but its the rub-ons that are sooo effective!
And then there are the new Vintage Artistry Essentials Foliage pack - the are 38 pieces of gorgeous acetate pieces (leaves and butterflies) - 2 of each design. The Essentials is also a new range due for release soon, which also has super cool new embellishments, and papers to match - exciting, isn't it?
The other new product, are the frame sets - and these come in three different sizes - with loads of product in them. Here I have used the 6 x 4 frame set, which I have layered three of the frames on top of each other. Each frame has a tab at different ends of the frame, so here I have layered each one, and added rub-ons to each tab.
 
I have used lots of layers, using foam tape to the Ephemera and the frames to build up my page. The Baubles and Trinkets are super gorgeous - with wishing bubbles, words (like the word "escape" as my title and the "let's travel" in the middle of the location pointer - plus I have added bubbles randomly on the page.

I have made the small flower cluster in the corner using twine, and a few flowers from the Sugar Posies Raspberry and Tutti Frutti pack.

Hope you are looking forward to these new products as much as I have had fun using them.

Take care,
Michelle

{Sassy!} - Dusty Attic February Moodboard

Hello Dusty Attic friends

I am back today with a new layout created for Dusty Attic using their gorgeous moodboard for February.

This is soooo gorgeous. How about taking part in the Challenge and creating a layout using the moodboard and posting your take on the Dusty FANattics facebook page  - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1949690068580466 - your entry could win you one of two AUD$50 voucher to use at Dusty Attic! 
Here is my take on the moodboard using the colours as my inspiration:
All chipboard (except the title) has been coloured using Prima Alchemy Wax rubbed directly onto the chipboard. I have started with trimming down my base page to about 11,5 inches x 10 inches, which was just long enough and wide enough to add the Fancy Trim #20 Chipboard DA2532 on the top and bottom of the page (the page was also adhered to the bottom page with chipboard to keep the height for the trim). The skeleton clock DA1689 was adhered and the distressed frame DA2673 added on top of the clock and then adding Spring Vine #1 DA2790 to the right of the frame and under it - this will hold the frame in place.

I then began layering the flowers around the frame adding the two other Spring Vines #2 and #3 DA2791 and DA2792

The title "{Sassy!} are picked from the Tall and Lean ABC set DA2697 - these are painted with Prma Alchemy paint. I chose this title as this is such a cheeky photo of my daughter. She was asked to be a model for a photography company here in Christchurch, NZ called One Camera Photography. I love this photo - really sassy!


These are the products I have used:







Hope to see your take on the challenge up on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page.

Take care,
Michelle
