My Happy Place - Dusty Attic February Mood Board

Hello Dusty FANattics

Jen here today with a layout as inspiration for you to join in the Dusty Attic Mood Board monthly challenge where you could win one of two $50 AUD Credits to the DUSTY ATTIC ONLINE STORE

This is the gorgeous board with it's cool and calming greens and creams.

"My Happy Place"

Just before Christmas one of my most amazingly beautiful friends whom I love dearly came and helped me make my very own "ZEN" place to sit and just be present in the moment.
I find just sitting out here with my plants, statues and a coffee is so relaxing and recharging, so of course I had to take photos and scrapbook a page. Dusty Attic garden gnomes, foliage and garden chippy is perfect.

I started with colouring the Garden Tool #2 set with different shades of green, brown, metallic grey and rust.

Next I have used an array of different greens to use on the Succulents Mixed chippy with highlights of white, yellow and magenta.

The garden gnomes, title and (ZEN) from the Impact ABC set I have spray painted white then distressed the title a little bit.
Did you know that the Impact letters are also sold separately ? Which comes in handy if you need extra vowels or common letters in names like "R" "S" etc.

After that I have used Tri Blend (Spectum noir) pens in Dull Green and Ice Blue Blends to colour the cute little garden Gnomes.

My papers, flowers and laser cut pieces are from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection and I have used this mixed inbetween my chipboard pieces.

To finish off my page I have added some rub ons to the ZEN word and popped it into some brackets

Thanks for joining me today and I would love to see your very own creations on the

Dusty FANattics page maybe with your ZEN place.

(Maisy) You & Me - Dusty Attic New Release

Hello everyone, today I would like to share a layout that is very close to my heart as our darling Maisy crossed to the Rainbow Bridge in the new year. Way too early at the age of 3.5yrs old. She was Kyden's sidekick, his shadow, his pup that was meant to grow up with him. The new Dusty Attic chipboard release is perfect for this page, even though based on Valentines day it is filled with beautiful sentiments that are perfect for many pages and cards.

MAISY

This is for Kyden's room so in keeping with his Eagles colours I have used Yellow and Blue papers. I then started with the Notebook edge square frame colouring it in white and {Maisy} painted in the dark blue using the Typewriter ABC set.

Then it was time to add all of the amazing NEW RELEASE Valentines chippy. You & Me from Wordpack #52 is painted in ombre blue's using a sponge to add the lighter colour.

The Heart Clusters inside the top embellishment cluster and stemmed hearts are painted white and added to the xoxo and the cute little tag.

This super gorgeous Heart Gnome was painted white then the hat an shoes are coloured with water colour pencils with rub-ons added and little white dots with a paint pen.
The love heart also has a rub on transfer on it in the way of the cute blue butterfly.

I have coloured the XOXO the same way as the You & Me title in the ombre blues.

I have finished my off with the heart arrows, infinity and the heart candy love hearts scattered on the bottom of the page.

I hope you like the layout, it has a lot of tear drops on it as well which luckily don't show up.

Delight - Dusty Attic Mood Board August 2021

Hello Dusty FANattics

Today I would like to share my take on the August Mood Board with this layout of my gorgeous Grand Daughter, she is just so sweet, sassy and a delight !!

I started with the ever so pretty colours and hues that took me to these photos taken at the park with the blue sky in the background. She was having fun scattering the leaves and making a mess so I wanted to use multiple photos.

To make the main photograph stand out I built a swag of flowers, foliage and leaves around it adding the mini wrought iron fence to the bottom of the photo and the heart banner at the bottom of the swag.

How super cute are the layered gnomes? I had to use one on this layout, I just love the extra beard piece that sits ontop and gives it lots of dimension!
I painted him white then added the colour using water colour paint and pens. Adding one of the ATC frames behind gave him a way to stand out from the flowers.

I have then added the title of the page.

The cute little leaves under the flowers at the bottom are from a mixed sheet of three different types of leaves, I have just used ink pads to colour them.

There are so many foliage pieces to choose from on the online store, I have used "Foliage #24" to complete the floral arrangement and the shape of the swag.
