Coastal Living - Dusty Attic - January Mood Board challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR Dusty FANattics

Today I get to reveal the JANUARY Mood Board challenge for Dusty Attic and it is just absolutely beautiful with its beach vibe and pale blues and soft browns.
Here is the Board ...

and this is my INTERACTIVE 12x12 Layout

Summer time means Beach Time and this is from when my Daughter in law Nicola took Kyden with my Grandbabies Mason and Rivah one afternoon to watch the sunset and have fun just playing around.

She took a few photos which I wanted to add to the layout so I have made a flip open interactive page to include pics of the Princess fast asleep on her mum's lap while the boys splashed, made sand castles and had an amazing time!

I started with the Distressed Frames Large and coloured that a sand/tan colour along with the Get Framed - Circle to match.

The COASTAL living Impact Title , Designer Disc #8 Bubbly, Arrows #3 and Geo Tags where painted with two different shades of blue to compliment each other.
I then sponged some of the lighter blue onto the bottom of the title and the Designer Disc.

The Seagulls , Mini Shells #1, Mini Seagulls #1, and Mini skeleton Fish I have painted with an array of creams and browns with a dash of pink. The Rope Knot #1 on the bottom of the frame has been inked with brown ink then I have added white highlights around the edge.

To complete my page I have added some stone art pebbles and flecks of white paint.

Beach days are the best - Vintage Artistry Beached

Hello everyone, today I have another set of holiday photos to share with you from earlier on this year. Kyden is skimming rocks, first you need to have the perfect rock though, chosen with care. I have used the NEW Vintage Artistry Beached line of papers and rub-ons.

I started with a paper called "Uninhibited" which I chose because of the palm trees but I think it reflects the photos in more ways that one. I usually cut my paper down and add a backing sheet but I chose not to for this page as I wanted all of the print to show.

This gorgeous wooden bridge was the first of the many laser cut pieces that I used, underneath I have used some of the wave rub ons (before adhering the bridge down).

I was scrapbooking with another design team member, Audrey Underwood while creating this layout and she ever so nicely shared her laser cut frame on her sheet with me. This way I could position all of the photos to tell a story of Ky finding and choosing the perfect rock, then of him skimming it.

I have printed these as 2x3 and then trimmed them on the sides to fit, each of the photos have been raised with foam tape to add dimension.

I have then stared adding an array of the laser cuts like the netting under the frame, fern leaf, in the sunshine tag and the thongs (or flip flops). The three arrows I made from adding the bottom parts of tags together.

I love this cluster down the bottom left of shells from the Vintage Artistry Shore laser cuts sheets plus more from the Beached collection including that super cute seagull.

Rub on transfers just finish off a page to perfection. I have used them all over my page adding interest with splashes, seahorses, starfish, shells and words.

Paradise Found - 49 and Market plus Dusty Attic

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting here today, I would like to share a very special photograph with you taken when Hubby, Kyden and I went to Broome in January this year. Since we could not travel Overseas or even Interstate we took the opportunity to travel in our own amazing Western Australia.

We did lots of things whilst away, which I will also scrapbook and share, like the Crocodile Park, but for now this is my most FAVORITE. We went on the Sunset Camel riding tour, half an hour up the pristine beautiful beach then half an hour back which is when the sun is going down, Paradise Found indeed.

DA 2541
Impact Title

The title was coloured using a chalk Blue Ink, pressing more on random sections to make it look more marbled.

This photograph is perfect as that is Kyden and I on the camel in the sun that is setting. Anthony is the forward position on the camel in front of us.

The Vintage Artistry Wedgewood collection is the perfect colouring for these photos along with the NEW Vintage Artistry ANYWHERE collection .

I started with the Anywhere Fragments paper and cut a piece from the back to mat my large 5x7 photo after all of them had been matted in black cardstock.

I trimmed the Wedgewood Breeze paper down and also added a black cardstock border before adhering it to the Fragments background.

I then added lots and lots of amazing rub-ons from the Anywhere collection. You can see the "Clear Blue Skies" at the top and pieces of map and ticket stubs around the page. If you don't want to use the whole rubon, just cut it into pieces and put them here and there.

I have used them on my photographs as well "Beautiful" and "Big Adventure"

These amazing little epoxy bubbles are from the Wishing Bubbles and Trinkets pack along with the seagulls and "this view" bubble that I have put into a Washi tape Geo pointer

I have then layered more of the Ephemera Bits at the side and bottom of the Focal photo.

Travel Icons DA1898

I have used the cute little suitcase, world globe and plane from the Icons sheet and coloured them with different inks.

I have then added more rub on transfers from the Sky/Navy Duo pack like the beads, stiped strips and love hearts.

Placing one under the "Found" chipboard word makes it stand out a little more.

You HAVE to see the laser cuts pieces that look like elastic rope, they are amazing - this is what I have used between the two photos at the bottom of the page, I think I need a whole sheet of just them.

Thanks for sharing my layout with me today and will see you again soon
