Adorable - 49 and Market Curators Botanical

Hello 49 and Market Fans 

I am so happy to bring you a layout today of my little Grandson taken at Christmas time at our local shopping centre. Of course as soon as I saw the NEW Curators Botanical range I knew it would be perfect for these photos, plus I have two extra photos taken on Santa's chair underneath in an interactive flap. 

The New ranges are just amazing with not only new colours and themes but also with so many new elements as well. 

Papers are still sold in packs however the laser cut sheets are now packaged as 4@ 6x12 sheets and sold separately. (you can also purchase the 12x12 paper sheets singularly). Ephemera bits now have different elements in them, Tag sets are super cute and new complete with eyelet and string. Also new are the many different Washi rolls and Fabric tapes that you will see the team using as well as the Rub ons that come in 6x8 and amazing 12x12. 

Now,on to my layout... 

I have started with one of the Solids colours #3, distressed all of the edges and inked with Pinecone ink then added torn pieces of the washi tape along the left hand side then machine stitched all the way around. Using another Solids colour I have done the same around the edges, adding washi and machine stitching, layering some of the bookplates pieces underneath.

Then I have also machine stitched around the outside of one 4x6 file frame and made a flap for extra photos out of another, covering the extra tabs with washi tapes.

I have used papers from the 6x8 paper pack on the inside with strips of the postage stamp washi on the right side underneath. The laser cuts are so intricate and beautiful as always, the filing cabinet is one, that I have added ephemera pieces hanging out of one of the draws along with frames plus dainty plant and foliage pieces.

One of my favourite washi tapes is the Curators Essentials stitching washi which I have used around the outside of a square file frame in the black with white stitching. This pack has four different designs in three different colours ! 

I have then added tags from the tag set, and an array of the 6x8 Rub-Ons. 

Tip - If you only want to add a little colour here and there just rub a tiny piece then pull up straight away, then you can add another and another and another until you have enough.

 Take care and hope you get some creating time with the wonderful new ranges!

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.
