ARToptions Viken Waterfall album - 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market Fans
I am on the blog today to show you this super cute Waterfall set album completed with the beautiful NEW ARToptions Viken range.

I have started with covering the outside pieces of the album with 12x12 papers then moved to the inside pages using the barcode strips and fabric tapes in the middle of the pages to also cover them.

Throughout the album I have used the ephemera pack and rub on transfers to decorate the pages after adding white photo mats all ready to add lots of photographs inside. The first page I have punched four circles out then covered them with fabric tape, cutting them in half and adhering to the top and bottom of the photograph mat.

Page nine in the album I have made a pocket from the 4x4 photo mat and some tags to add journalling or quotes to the page. Page eleven I have made a little flip page to open out to two photographs.

I have also used the 12x12 rub on transfers as well as the 6x8 set especially on the front and back cover. The Vintage Artistry Essentials Stitch washi tape set it amazing to then add to make it look like the pages have been sewn.

Outside Adventures - 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry Naturalist

Hello lovelies, today I have a layout of my firecracker little grandson and gorgeous nephew. I love that both Mason and Kyden love the park across the road and "Outside Adventures"

The Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection is just perfect for this photo !

The 6x8 paper pack and Bookplates set is what I have used in the background with Essentials file frame sets and the amazing already stitched frames to create layers and layers behind the photograph.

The amazing laser cuts have such fine details and add something special to each page. I have layered leaves and flowers together with the realistic photo wrap.

I have added more laser cuts with the olives and leaves together with the "Outside Adventures" title and cute little bird. The jute and green cord have been added to wrap all of the bottom pieces together.

Rub on transfers have been added with the stars, text patterns and stripes. Essentials Epoxy Hardware has been added to the photograph at the top on both sides and to finish off I added the cute laser cut at the top of my layout.

Thanks for joining me today, hope I have inspired you to create, if so why not add your project on the

49 and Market Fans Facebook page for all of us to see.

The Good Life - Dusty Attic May mood board inspiration

Hello Dusty FANattics, today I am here to share the MAY MOOD BOARD challenge with you and my interpretation.

Look at all of those amazing hues of blues !

THE GOOD LIFE

This is a selfie "snapshot" of Kyden and I when we went to Hillary's Boat Harbour for a SURPRISE joint 60th birthday party for Nana and Pappy. It was a great evening, nice food and shuttleboard to play, and needless to say they where very surprised that we where all there to help them celebrate.

I have started with the gorgeous Marrakesh stencil and some blue ink to add some pattern into the background.

I have then painted my Lacey Frame (large) in white spray paint and left to dry whilst painting my other chippy pieces.

The stunning Lacey Flowers I have painting in one blue hue then added darker paint around the outside in an ombre effect. I have then added twine with knots in it as the centre stamens.

Both the mini title "The Good Life" and "Snapshot" are painted with the same blue paints as the flowers. To finish off my flower composition I have added a little "happy notes" wordplay strip.

To enter is super duper easy, just add your take into the comments section in the

Cant wait to see what you all create
