Forever moments - 49 and Market

Hello friends

How beautiful is this new range Vintage Artistry Moonlit Garden? Another absolutely stunning range and I just love the colours - so soft and magical. Here is a layout I have created using some of the products in this range:

I have started my layout using paper no 2 from the Moonlit Garden Foundations 12x12 paper pack. From here I layered a number of Ephemera (distressing the edges first) behind the photo - some adhered with foam tape to create dimension. This was then adhered to the page,

I then removed all the daisies and the blue and green leaves from the Moonlit Garden Lasercut Elements pack and began to layer these on the left bottom corner - adding in a chipboard ticket feom the Moonlit Garden Chipboard bits. The title "forever moments" is from a pack of Moonlit Gardens Chipboard words pack.

I have also added other lasercut and Ephemera bits under the layers of the photo. The dotted piece of ephemera is from the Moonlit Garden Ultimate Page Kit. The viewmaster slide was cut in half and added on either side of the photo cluster. The little banner with the wording "All my heart" has been added with a brad to create a hanging effect.

I have also added some Ephemera to the bottom right  of the photo.

Thank you for visiting the blog. I hope you enjoy this new collection as much as I have.

Hugs,

Michelle

My Sunshine - Dusty Attic

Hi there

Back on the blog today with a layout inspired from the November moodboard:

Remember you can also take part in the moodboard challenge by using the moodboard as inspiration and adding Dusty Attic chipboard to your project and show it off on the Dusty FANattics facebook page. Two random entries are chosen to win AU$50 each worth of gorgeous Dusty Attic chippie!!

Here is my layout I have created using the colours from the moodboard:

This layout features a photo of my beautiful daughter. All chipboard has been painted with burnt orange acrylic paint, and some touched with a red acrylic paint.  The photo has been matted with paper and adhered to the page with a piece of foam tape. I added due cuts and flowers around the photo.

All chipboard has been painted with a mix of red and orange acrylic paint - dabbed on with a sponge. I then added stickles to the botanical mix flourishes (DA3351) before adding these under the flowers and the photo matt. I added some crazy stitching (DA1673) to the top left and right bottom of the page

The word disc that says "the sweet life" (DA3321) is one of a number of discs in the pack - the pack has same really great sentiments to use on your layouts. I added buterflies (DA3335) to the flower cluster.

The title is one of a few tags from DA1803.

These are the products I have used:

Thanks for visiting the blog today. I hope to see your take om the moodboard up on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page.

This Photo - 49 and Market

Hello friends!

Oh my! Another gorgeous new collection to admire - ARToptions Spice. The colours are just beautiful. Here is a layout I created using this gorgeous new collection. 

Aren't these colours just fabulous? I used papers from the ARToptions Spice 12 x 12 Collection pack. The base paper is the reverse side of the "Ginger Kiss" paper, leaving on the strip at the bottom because I loved the stamps across the strip - I cut that equivalent piece off the top of the paper to keep it at 12 x 12. I tore a piece on top left corner and added a piece of the "Fuchsia Grove" paper, tucking in two tickets from the Spice Ephemera pack. 

The photo is tucked into an envelope - the envelope is from the Spice Cluster kit. I sanded the edges of the envelope first. From here I then added layers of matting to my photo - these matts are pieces from the Spice Ephemera Pack - the edges were distressed first, before I layered them behind the photo. This was then adhered to the page with foam tape down the centre. I then added a stem of the Plum Wildflowers down the left side of the photo, before I began layering the laser cut pumpkins, the wagon wheel and stamp, with other Plum Wildflowers. All these are were layered with foam tape to create dimension.

From here I also created a flower and pumpkin cluster on the right of the photo. I have added some laser cut flowers and the road signs to the cluster too. 

I then created a small cluster feature in the top right corner of the layout, using a "slide" paper from the Ephemera pack. I added this with foam tape, added the hinges from the Cluster Kit chipboard set, and added the title "This photo" with foam tape and embellished it with flowers and laser cuts.

I then finished off by adding buttons and orange dots to the layout placed randomly in the flowers and pumpkin clusters and the page. These come from the Spice Cluster kit too.

Thank you for visiting the blog today. 

Hugs,

Michelle

Treasure the little moments - Dusty Attic

Hello Dusty FANattics

It's hard to believe we just under two months to the end of 2023! Here is my project for November:

The layout is made with Scrapboys papers and 49 and Market flowers. I tore the one paper and adhered it to the base paper. The photos were then matted with distressed papers, and adhered to the page with foam tape. I then used some letters from DA2390 (Jumbled Letters) - painted with white acrylic paint (dabbed on with a sponge), and tucked these under the photo matt as a feature.

The rest of the chipboard was also painted with white acrylic paint and when this was dry, lightly sponged over with a chalk brown paint. Once this was dry, I lightly brushed over the pieces with stickles.

I began first with my flower clusters - and added mini foliage (DA2786) among the layers of flowers. I add the shutters (DA2199) apart and lifted them.

I have also added botanical buttons (DA3316) and added the title Treasure the little moments (DA1606). I finished off adding some white splatters.

These are the products I have used:

Little Naturalist - 49 and Market

Hello lovelies!

I am back on the blog today mixing up some of the ranges with some old and some new. That is just how amazing these collections are - they can be mixed and matched quite easily. I have used a mixture of Vintage Artistry Nature's Study and Curators Botanical/Naturalist ranges here.

The base papers are the ledger papers Vintage Artistry Nature's Study Ledger Collection paper, which has been torn and adhered to the Vintage Artistry Nature's Study Tattered Writings paper. I then used bookplates - Curators Essentials Bookplates, and created a book like feature using the different pieces. These were bent slightly, glued down the centre and added foam tape between the pieces to give it a book like appearance.

Here is the other side - I cut down some of the smaller bookplates and used these as "bookmarks"

I have then used wording as tabs from the Vintage Artistry General Laser Cut Elements. From here I added mushrooms from the Laser Cut Mushrooms and Foliage set and the trees from the General set and created layers of mushrooms on either side of the book using foam tape.

I created a flower cluster using Rustic Bouquet Marigold flowers and then adding laser cuts through this.

I have also used wording from the Chipboard Word Set and added these to the layout - I have also used the little "screw" tops from the Cluster kit. There are rubons around the photo feature too (6x8 mushroom rubon set)

Thanks for visiting the blog today!

Hugs,

Michelle

Life is a daring adventure - Dusty Attic

 Hello lovelies

Today I am on the blog with a layout created using the October moodboard.

I have used papers from 13 Arts and Ciao Bella and done a bit of fussy cutting from the 13 Arts paper to create my layout.

For this layout I have used two sets of chipboard - Industrial Jumbo Gears (DA2860) and Foliage #4 (DA1294). I dabbed metallique brown paint on all the pieces first using a sponge and waited for this to dry. Once this was dry I added a dark teal metallique paint to the chipboard pieces, also dabbing this on with a sponge

I first added matting layers behind the photo before adhering this to the page with foam tape down the centre of the matted photo. I did this so that I could add my fussy cut pieces and gears under the photo as I did my layering.

I started first with fussy cut pieces than added the gears - some pieces were added with foam tape so I could create my different layers.

Once these were all layered I then added some of the foliage.

You can take part in the monthly moodboard challenge by using the moodboard to create a project (anything, as long as you use Dusty Attic Chippy) and add your project the Dusty FANattics facebook page. 2 random winners are selected and will win one of two AUD50 worth of gorgeous Dusty Attic chipboard.

Beach Day - 49 and Market

Hello lovely 49 and Market Fans

I have a layout created for the blog today using the gorgeous, bright and happy Vintage Artistry Sunburst collection. 

I use a lot of photos off Pinterest for my layouts, and when I saw this photo I thought it was perfect for the theme of this Sunburst Collection, and the of course the colours were just spot on!

I have used the reverse side of the Sunburst - Lost Island paper from the Sunburst 12x12 Collection pack for the base of my layout. I used two photos, sanded the edges and fanned these out and added the white wooden frames from the sunburst Ephemera behind the photos and added thi layered photo mat the page with foam tape in the centre only - allowing the space under the photo edges to add my layers of lasercuts flowers and leaves.

I used flowers and foliage off both sets of Sunburst Laser Cuts packs - the General Pack and the Foliage laser cuts. I have curled some of the petals of my frangipanis before adding these and the other flowers in layers with foam tape around the edge of the photo, as well as the foliage. The netting has been taken from the Sunburst Ultimate Page Kit - I have used the reverse side of this so I could use the blue side instead of the black. I have also cut this into pieces so that I could use it in different places on my layout. I just love the sign post out of the General Laserpack and I just had to use it! All the little bows are from the General pack, and I just love the banner title (also a laser cut) "Beach Day" 

And how cute are the little cross stitches? These are from the General Laser Cut pack. I have added foam tape under the foliage to create dimension.

I have finished off the page adding a seahorse feature to the top of the right of the page.

This a mix of Laser Cuts and Ephemera. I have added the paper Laser Cut Sequins to the page - with Glossy Accents to give it a "watery" effect (although not very visible in the photos).

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Happy crafting!

Hugs,

Michelle
