{Precious moments...}

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. 

My August design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.   This is a photo of my daughter and grandson.  This photo reflects so much love and happiness.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted 

with Americana Acrylic paint.

The Squiggly frame was left white and cut in half and glued between the paper layers.

I painted the title with Whispering Turquoise and Turquoise Blue and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The heart banners were painted with Peaches 'n Cream, Green Lagoon and Whispering Turquoise.

I painted Foliage #27 with  Whispering Turquoise and Turquoise Blue.

I also used my favorite Wordpl@y elements.

The butterflies were painted with Peaches 'n Cream and Coral.

After everything glued down I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today.

 I am sharing another layout using the stunning Vintage Artistry Nature Study 12x12 collection.  This collection is perfect for outdoor photos.  This is a photo of my grandson James with his recent photo shoot.

For this layout, I used the Observations paper.

Here is my layout.

I layered the matted photo on pieces from the Nature Study general laser cut elements, ephemera bits, and a tab from the V/A Essentials Square file frame set. For the tabs, I used the Exploration Paper and cut two tabs with a metal die.

 

This collection has the most beautiful Rub-on Transfers.  I used elements from the 6x8 Wings, Mushroom, and Foliage sets, as well as some of the 12x12 Sentiments rub-on transfer sheet.

To create this cluster, I used elements from the laser cut Wings, Mushroom and Foliage. The blue frame, tags, and magnifying glass are from the Ephemera Bits. I also added leaves from the Color Swatch Toast 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set. The cute nest is from the General Laser Cut Elements.

To create this cluster, I used elements from the laser cut Wings, Mushroom and Foliage.  I added a Specimen Acetate jar shape, and adhered it to a ticket to make it stand out more.  I glued a ribbon to the jar and added lots of mushrooms.  Some of the mushrooms are raised with foam tape.

I randomly added chipboard shapes and words as well as word strips and a heart.

For the title, I used the words "Love This"  from the Chipboard Word Set.

The final touches to this layout included Wings and Mushrooms washi stickers, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

This is my daughter and grandson having fun on the beach.

Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies were primed with white gesso.

I used DecorArt Americana Acrylic Paint on all the chipboard pieces.

I painted the edges of the Old Wooden Fence, title, Wordpl@y, seagulls, lighthouse, mini skeleton fish, and driftwood in Slate Grey and Grey Storm. I inked the edges with Traditional Burnt Amber. 

The Mini Seagulls were painted Slate Grey.  The Seahorses were painted Bahama Blue and Traditional Burnt Amber.

I painted the Starfish and Mini Shells Slate Grey and dry brushed it with white acrylic paint.

Hello, 49 and Market fans!  

Welcome to the blog today.

 This is my first layout using the Nature Study with all the spectacular additional products.  These are photos of my grandson Janco having fun in the beautiful Nature Reserve close to our house.

The Natural Habitat paper was cut in half for the sides and glued to cardstock and the Observations paper was glued to the center of the layout.

Here is my layout.

I layered the matted photos on pieces from the Nature Study general laser cut elements, ephemera bits, tabs from the V/A Essentials Square file frame set, Color Swatch Toast frames, and cardstock die cuts pieces from the V/A Serenity Remnants pack.

I used papers from the Nature Study Ledgers and Solids 6x8 collection paper pack for extra layering.  This collection has the most beautiful Rub-on Transfers.  I used elements from the 6x8 Wingers, Mushroom, and Foliage sets, as well as some of the 12x12 Sentiments rub-on transfer sheet.

I used two clusters from the amazing Nature Study cluster kit on my layout.

To create the mushroom and foliage border at the bottom of my layout I used laser cuts from the foliage and mushroom set as well as mushrooms from the V/A Curators Meadow collection.  I also added some beautiful elements from the Specimen Acetate shapes, and black and white mushroom rub-ons. 

I randomly added chipboard shapes and words as well as word strips and hearts.

For the title, I used the words "explore" from the Ephemera bits.

The final touches to this layout included Wings and Mushrooms washi stickers, and splatters with diluted white gesso.
