You can be anything - Vintage Artistry Hike More

 Hello everyone, today I am sharing a photo of my gorgeous grandson, I managed to snap this while we where at the park across the road, like a true little boy he has a hand full of leaves in one hand and a stick in the other. The Vintage Artistry Hike More range is just perfect for the colours of my photo. 

I started my layout with the "Bramble" paper and turned it on its side so the branch and leaves are on the top and bottom of the page instead of the sides. I have also used the reverse of the  "In the Thicket " paper as a border around my whole page.

I have used two of the 6x8 paper pack pieces to mat my photo, then added file frames from the 3x4 pack behind and inbetween the layers.

Next I have created a cluster on the right hand side using pieces from the Hike More ephemera stack pieces, and a tag on the bottom of the photo which gave my page a title. Believe me this little boy Can be anything he sets his mind to, he is determined (read as stubborn) and knows what he wants at the grand age of 2 and 3/4.

The Royal Spray Olive flowers are absolutely perfect for this range, paired with Vintage Artistry Essentials foliage pieces and butterfly. I have added another piece from the ephemera stack, You can bend and shape all of these and the laser cut pieces as the paper is so thick and such good quality it holds it's shape. If I shape butterflies or anything that is quite sculpted I do add silicone underneath. 

The finishing touches on my page are little love hearts from the Chipboard stickers pack, gorgeous epoxy dots from the Wishing Bubbles and baubles VA Sage and of course rub on transfers added to the tags, around the page and those cute mushrooms on the bottom right.

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.

Happy - Dusty Attic Mood Board Inspiration

 Good Morning Dusty FANattics 

Today I bring you a layout created of my super cute Grand daughter, like all little people she has such a cute laugh that brings joy to everyone around her, below I have added some Dusty Attic toppers from the chipboard packaging to show where the products are.  The June Mood board was my inspiration for the colours along with the photograph.

This one is without the headers plus the Mood Board for this month.

I started with 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Blush collection of papers and ephemera pieces and frames to layer in between the papers and photo.

I have covered all of my chipboard with white paint then applied my colour on top.

I have only coloured the round bead section of my Beaded flourish using a pink watercolour, it was a bit too dark so then I went back over and applied some more white paint to make it more pink like Rivah's lace and tutu section of her jacket.

I have then coloured the flowers using two different pinks and a light yellow along with the green leaves. Remember you can bend and shape your chipboard to add dimension and interest to your page.

The "RIVAH" word was made from the Mini ABC Uppercase set.

After I added the Passion pink paper flowers and laser cut pieces I cut some or the chipboard leaves and stem off to add to the other side of my page. Don't be worried to snip here and there and re-arrange your chippy to suit your page.

To finish off I have added loads of rub ons around the page and the edges from the Blush/Sage set, then did some white paint splatters.

My Heart - 49 and Market Blush collection

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a layout of my sweet and sassy amazing little Grand daughter, she lights up my life (along with her brother!) and fills MY HEART with love and joy. 

 

I started with using one of the laser cut frames around my main photo, she is doing "Peek-a-Boo" so I wanted to add more photos and capture her playing which I have added underneath. I then folded/scrunched the lace border laser cut so it looks more like a piece of material lace. 

The pink doily I have cut in half to separate and put on each side of the main photo. Don't be afraid to cut pieces in half or rip them here and there to make them look more vintage or shabby. I have added foam tape to lift the one photo and add some more dimension. The pink & white and the blue & white striped strips are from the bottom of the Blush and Sky papers, I have then tucked in some other laser cuts inbetween and underneath to add more interest to the photo panel piece.

I have then used the pink flowers from the laser cut sheet with lots of the gorgeous leaves, then butterflies from the Blush and the Sky laser cuts.

Use an embossing tool or a pen to roll the leaves and wings to add lots of dimension and make it look like they are flying. Bending them upwards I have then added silicone underneath to hold the shape. b I have added some white paint splatters lightly over the main pink butterfly area to break it up a little bit.

To finish off my page I have added wishing bubbles and baubles plus lots and lots of rub ons including the words, butterflies, flowers and those gorgeous little beads.
