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.

I hope that this has inspired you to enter the challenge for your chance to win one of two $50 (AUD) credits to the Dusty Attic online store.

It is so easy to enter, just put your take of the Mood Board in the comments section on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page HERE.

SEEK - 49 and Market

Hello everyone, today I would like to share my layout for the amazing 49 and Market of my super gorgeous Grandson. I have used this months August sketch challenge as inspiration.

Did you know that every 12x12 Collection packs come with a bonus on the reverse of the cover sheet? There is always an extra paper to use, in this case I have used the white map pattered piece from the Vintage Artistry "Anywhere" collection reverse of the cover sheet then the deep blue is the "Quest" and mustard yellow is the "Fragments" papers both also from the Anywhere collection.

Also in every 12x12 Collection pack are the most amazing laser cut pieces, I totally love the elastic looking ties that wrap around your photo or embellishments as you can see below with added ephemera stack pieces.

Under the photos and ephemera I have used foam tape to raise them off the page for added dimension. I have also used liquid scrap dots under the Essentials foliage pieces.

Don't you just love that strip of skyline down the bottom of the page? Guess what, it is Washi strip that I have coloured with the Spectrum noir Tri-Blend pens that offer such a gorgeous range of shades.

Finishing off my page I have added more washi that I have coloured around the edge then an array of different rub on transfers like the arrows, tickets, leaves, Discover definition and the "life is short & the world is wide" saying plus all those cute little beads. The epoxy dots are from the Wishing Bubbles and Trinkets pack also in the Anywhere collection.

I hope my Grandson explores the world when he is older starting with his own country Australia.
He is full of sass and curiosity which will take him far I know. Never stop Seeking Nanny's amazing little man.
