{Cherish yesterday...}

Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful December mood board, and the last one for 2019!  The next one will be in 2020 and I am looking forward sharing the mood board inspirations with you, they are just stunning!

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

On the background I used the Leaves Stencil and a finger dauber with Archival Ink in Paradise Teal and Cobalt.

All the chipboard pieces were first covered with a layer of white gesso. I heat embossed the title with Iced Enamels in Amethyst.

 Dusty Attic has a multitude of beautiful frames to choose from.  The one I used is the Decorative Frame #5 and I also cover the frame with white gesso. I painted the frame with America acrylic paint in Pansy Lavender and Bahama blue and dry brushed with white gesso and Metallique wax in Vintage Gold  for a distressed look.

The leaves were embossed with white embossing powder.

The foliage were painted with America Acrylic paint in Bahama Blue and Victoria blue and dry brushed with white gesso.

I inked the edges of the wood slices with brown ink and dry brushed with white gesso.

Here you can also see how I used the leaves stencil.

more close ups.

When everything was glued down I added art stones and splatters with white gesso and Distress Spray Stain in Seedless preserves.

There are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.

{Merry and Bright...} and {Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store...}

Hello everyone!

There are only a few days left before Christmas! I am sure you are all very exiting and looking forward spending time with your loved ones.

From the bottom of my heart I wish you all a Merry Christmas. May Christmas bring joy to your heart and happiness to your home. 

Today I am sharing two Christmas layouts. The first one is my granddaughter and the second one is my grandson. One both layouts I used a lot of stars.

Here is my layout.

I heat embossed the title with black embossing powder.

I love these Squiggly Frames.  The frames and bracket were painted with Americana acrylic paint in Desert Turquoise and Sour Apple and dry brushed with white gesso. I then rubbed them with Distress Stickles in Platinum.

The stars were all painted with Americana acrylic paint in Desert Turquoise, Sour Apple and True Red. Once dry I covered them with glossy accents and sprinkled with Stickles Fine Glitter in Eucalyptus, Christmas Red and Platinum.

some more close ups.

When everything was glued down I added gold micro beads and splatters with diluted white gesso and black ink.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.

DA2441 - Stars #4

DA1178 - Merry and Bright
DA2345 - Squiggly Frame #3
DA2442 - Mini Brackets

Here is my other layout.

I painted the Spring tree with Americana acrylic paint in Sour Apple. I then rubbed the tree Distress Stickles in Platinum.
The stars were all painted with gold acrylic paint. Once dry I covered them with glossy accents and sprinkled with Stickles Fine Glitter in Platinum. I rubbed the page pebble with Versa Magic in Sea Breeze.
 

I don't have a star stamp, so I had to make a plan.  I adhered some stars to an acrylic block with double side tape and used it as a stamp. I stamped with Versamark Watermark Ink here and there on my background and embossed with white embossing powers. 

When everything was glued down I added splatters with diluted white gesso and black ink.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.

{You are amazing...}

Hello everyone!

I am back with another layout using the November mood board. I just love the combination of yellow and pink.  My previous layout was soft and feminine.  This layout is more grunge with flowers and cogs.

Here is the mood board.

This young lady is just amazing. She takes my breath away.  She is beautiful, inside and out. She is kind, compassionate and confident. She is honest, funny and thoughtful. I admire her optimism and strength.  She is my best friend and I love her from the bottom of my heart.

Here is my layout.

The title as well as the foliage #16 were heat embossed.  The edges of the mini ABC Tile set were inked with brown ink.  I love these tiles.  They are perfect to use with a single word.

Cogs are one of  my favourite elements to use on a page. The cog frame and gears were covered with coarse gesso, and once dry painted with different shades of pink acrylic paint and dry brushed with white acrylic paint. How adorable are these tulips?  I painted them with pink, yellow and green acrylic paint and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

Some close ups.

These are the Dusty Attic chipboard pieces that I used.
