Happy - 49 and Market - Sunburst

Hello Crafters

How seriously cute is this photo of my Grand Son who is beyond HAPPY ? Summer is of course the best time of the year to do outside activities like we are here, painting rocks then going to Parks and leaving happiness behind for someone else to find.

It is a perfect pic for the Vintage Artistry Sunburst collection.

I have started with 12x12 Coloured Foundations #2 and cut a square out of the middle, flipping it over to use as a photo mat. Then cut the 12x12 Abask in Paradise patterned paper down to 11x11 and adhered it to the base piece using the green as a frame around the edge.

I added a strip of the large width washi tape from the set around 3" from the top of the paper. Then using the Foliage and the General laser cuts I have created a cluster on the left hand side adding a "favorite photo" sign from the ephemera bits pack.

One of Mason's favourite animals is the TUTLE so how could I not make this amazing laser cut the focus of the cluster I created on the right hand side of the photo? I have layered lots of the laser cuts and used the netting behind the pic.

The laser cut bows are so super gorgeous and fine, I have used them with the Hello Sunshine ephemera piece then added Rub on transfers from the 6x8 Sunburst pack including the "HAPPY" title which I have added a little bit of black stippling around the edges.

The Sunburst Filmstrip frames have been layered under the photograph and in the right hand cluster corner with the addition of more layered laser cuts. Finishing off the layout I have added the Stitching rub ons around the edge of the background paper.

Hope you have enjoyed my "Happy" page today and if your create your own layouts why not add them to the 49 and Market Fans group on Facebook?

This WAS Super Fun - Dusty Attic

How awesome does this Tree Climb walk look right at our own backdoor at Yanchep National Park? Kyden and his Brothers had "Super Fun"
The new 3Quarter Designs with Dusty Attic new collection called "Incredible Journeys" is perfect for these photos.

I have started with one of the new awesome Collage Frameworks Frames and painted with Stamperia Grey paint Dark to light Ombre style with dry brushing some light highlights. I have also painted the Hexagons by Nuneka the same way and added them to the sides of the framework.

The Toadstools pack 1 and 2 have been painted to look like mushrooms and layered at the bottom Cluster along with some foliage and mini Cobblestones.

"This was Super Fun" title was painted with Stamperia paints in an ombre fashion starting with Tortora at the tiop then Cappuccino and finished with Mattone which has also been used to paint the mini Filmstrips.

Super Gold has been dry brushed over the top to add highlights.

The Mini Gum trees have been painted the same way as the foliage then added brown to the branches and trunk then layered again with the Toadstools and Cobblestones.

Favourite Memory - 49 and Market Nature Study

Hello and welcome to the blog today where I am sharing a layout of photos of my cheeky little grand son at an outdoor footy match. Lots of trees were around the surrounding oval so of course after the game they needed to be climbed.

I have started with two different sheets from the 12x12 Collection pack and the Golden 12x12 sheet from the Color Foundations pack, layering them with 1/4 inch around the edges.

I made the Cluster Kit as per the pictures on the front of the kit which I used on a different layout then used the many left overs to create by own cluster adding General and Wings laser cuts to it.

I have framed the photos with the blue frames out of the Ephemera pieces, layered with Filmstrip frames and more larger ephemera bits.

I have then created my own little framed picture using the ephemera frame and Washi tape stickers together with rub ons added to another cluster I have created.

Added behind the framed photographs are Acetate filmstrips and more ephemera pieces along with little file tabs which I have added rub ons to.

See the Sights and Like a Boss - Dusty Attic NEW RELEASE

Hello and Welcome to October - Soon we will be buying Christmas presents!

Today I am sharing two layouts using the DUSTY ATTIC NEW RELEASE plus in collaboration with 3Quarter Designs paper using their "Incredible Journeys" new range all of which are available from the

DUSTY ATTIC ONLINE STORE

see the SIGHTS

One of the most amazing trips to the United States was when we went to Creativation in Phoenix and made sure we went to the GRAND CANYON.

We were booked in for a helicopter flight but it actually snowed, disppointed but also excited as it was also the first time I had been in snow!

An amazing trip that I will never forget.

I have started with one of the Collaged Frameworks #2 and used the chipboard inserts to mount my photos onto. I painted it with Stamperia paint then added chunky white embossing powder splattered around the edges.

The filmstrips are super fun which I snipped in half and put one piece on each side of the frame.
Travel Postmarks, Postcards and Wordstrips have all been painted in white.

The suitcases have also been painted white then highlighted using thin texta pens. The Compass Roses have been painted in green then I have added a little sequin in the middle.

My Second layout I have done is
"LIKE A BOSS"

For this layout I have layered two pieces of paper, one ontop of the stripe.

I have started with Collage Framework #4 and a Title that I already had "Like A BOSS" and painted them with Stamperia paints in two different blues to create an ombre effect.
