Snapshot - layout created for The Dusty Attic

Good Morning Dusty fans and welcome back again. I feel like the weeks are flying past and before I know it it is time for another blog post. So without further ado I would like to share with you today this layout.....

Snapshot

I used numerous Chipboard pieces on this layout as well as some of my favourite 49 and Market papers and flowers.

To start with I added some pink paste through a Dusty Attic Stencil - DA 1494 Creative Script. It is only very subtle but created some texture on my background. Next I layered some 49 and Market Laser Cut Shapes to add behind my photo and create some dimension.

Also behind the photo I added the gorgeous Mystic Frame which I painted with some Dusty in colour paint - Sugar Plum. Once I had chosen all the chippie I wanted to use on the project I started the process of layering together with some beautiful 49 and Market flowers, glueing them down with my  hot glue gun when I was happy with the placement and design. 

The Wild Grass and Leave Chippie were covered in some chocolate embossing powder while the broken bits, butterflies and sentiment were covered in white embossing powder. I always try to keep the colour combination uniform and not add to many different shades. When too many colours are happening you tend to loose focus of all the elements, in my humble opinion anyway.

Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces used on this project:

Broken Bits #10 - Grid #2

Fancy Trim #9

Mini Monarch Butterflies

Tropical Foliage #6

Mystic Frame #2

Wildgrass #2

Until next time.....

Hello Today layout created for 49 and Market

Hello 49 and Market fans and welcome to another blog post. Today I would like to share with you a layout created with some Captured Adventures paper combined with Vintage Remnants Laser Cut Shapes and some gorgeous Botanical Blends flowers.

I started by creating my background using a stencil from The Dusty Attic and black Gesso. I then chose some pieces from the laser cut shapes to create a backdrop for my photo. I attached these with some cardboard and hot glue to create numerous layers, this layout turned out rather dimensional.

The flowers were added on top and in between all the layers, I just took my time working on the design. Once all the bigger flowers found a spot I added all the smaller ones and also added some more pieces from the laser cut shapes. For the final touch I added a Dusty Attic chipboard sentiment and some art stones to add a bit of grunge.

Thanks so much for visiting the blog, come back again tomorrow for more inspiration from one of the 49 and Market DT ladies.

Until next time….

Paw prints on my Heart layout created for The Dusty Attic

Hi there Dusty Fans and welcome back to the blog for the August Moodboard Challenge.

For this layout I decided to create a dog project as Dusty Attic has brought out heaps of lovely new pet Chipboard.

Paw Prints on my Heart

You just got to love that Sentiment - so sweet!

So I tried to pick all of the colours in the month's moodboard, they are just so stunning!

I started the layout by adding some light paste through a Dusty Stencil - Heart Attack DA1309.

I added some Dusty in Colour Sunburnt Orange paint to my title and finished it of with some Dusty Clear Crackle Varnish. 

How cute are all those Dog Icons. To keep it uniform I added more Dusty in Colour paint but this time I mixed Bisque and Denim as I wanted a blue colour but I didn't have anything lighter then Denim so this worked well. 

Some more Dusty in Colour Bisque was added to the wee paw prints which I think are super cute! 

In between the flowers I added the Tea Leaves which I painted in Dusty in Colour Ginger nut.

That is it for now. I hope you will also play along with this challenge as you can win some great prizes.

You make me Smile layout created for 49 and Market

Hi everyone and welcome back to the 49 and Market blog, it’s Hetty with you today.

“You Make Me Smile” by Hetty Hall

For today’s project I decided to use an older collection,  Cottage Life. I just love all the gorgeous colours in this collection, it makes for such a bright and happy layout. To start, I added a couple of off cuts from “Fresh Delivery” and layered these behind my photo. From there, I worked on my design by fussy cutting various images from “Cottage Cut Outs” as well as “Watering the Garden” and used these as my embellishments around my photo. Of course I layered them all with foam tape and dots.

To finish it off I used a die to die cut from “Fresh Delivery” and added these amongst my embellishments as well as a few violet flowers. This layout came together pretty easily because the design work on the 49 and market printed papers is stunning and make great embellishments.

Thanks again for visiting the blog, I hope you enjoyed my project today.

Until next time…

Hugs.

Stencil Album - So much Goodness - Designed for Dusty Attic

Good morning Dusty Fans and welcome back again to the blog. Today I have something a little different to share with you. I decided I really wanted/needed a place to store all my Dusty Attic Stencils so I came up with this little album which I created from scratch and of course decorated with lots of gorgeous Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces.

So much Goodness

I started by putting together the cover with some sturdy cardboard pieces covered in some black cardstock, created the hinges to attach the plastic sleeves which I cut to size from some spare scrapbooking album inserts and added black paper to the sleeves so the stencils would be clearly visible. 

Once I decided on what papers to use I decorated the album by trimming some printed paper to size while still showing an edge of the black cardstock for definition. I then used one of the Dusty Attic Stencils for the front cover, added some sprays to show up the texture. Once dry I fussy cut some elements from some printed paper from same collection, layered them with foam dots and added all my choosen Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces which I covered in chocolate embossing powder. For my final touch I finished it with a flower from 49 and market to add a splash of colour.

And there you have it, a designer handmade stencil album that is practical as well as a beautiful decorating item.

 Broken Bits #2 - Circles

Christmas Magic layout designed for 49 and Market

Hi there 49 and Market Fans and welcome. Today I would like to share with you a Christmas layout. Yes, I know it’s July, but it is only 5 months until Christmas, it will be here before you know it. I love Christmas so don’t mind getting into the spirit early.

For this layout, of course I used the wonderful Winters Edge Collection as well as the matching Laser Cuts. I started the layout by choosing some papers and Laser Cuts to layer behind my two main photos to create some layers, working with the design on the paper as I didn’t want to cover up too much of the lovely print.

Once I had sorted out my basic design I added selected pieces of Laser Cuts on and in between the layers. I played around with the design for a while until I was happy with what I saw. I then added the pop of red flowers, some more Laser Cuts like the little candles (so cute) and the sentiments to finish off. Too easy, I can’t speak highly enough of the Laser Cuts, they make every layout a breeze to put together and you end up with a beautiful creation, a lasting keepsake to be enjoyed for years to come.

Thanks so much for popping in, I hope I inspired you with my project, until next time….

Hugs,

Picture Perfect layout created for Dusty Attic

Good Morning Dusty Fans and welcome back to the blog. Today I am sharing my take on this months Mood Board and I have to say I love all Dusty Attic's Mood Boards, just something about them that makes them all stunning and so inspirational.

Picture Perfect

I decided to make this a multi photo layout, I don't use multiple photos very often so trying to challenge myself here. 

There are 5 different Dusty Attic Chipboard designs on this layout. First up I used the stunning Vintage Frame Layered and I simply added some copper embossing powder. I did use it a bit differently though and used the back frame in a portrait way and the front frame layered on top horizontally. I layered my photos on top of the frame set and I then began the process of adding all my other Dusty Chipboard elements. 

I added glitter embossing powder to the Tropical Foliage to give it some depth but not too much colour. Of course I added my favourite 49 and Market flowers also. For the title and the arrow on top of the photos I tried to match some embossing powder to pick up some of the darker colours in the background paper.

Last but not least I just had to add some Wordpl@y to describe the photos even further, love these little word tiles, so versatile.
