{Happy thoughts...}

 Hello, 49 and Market fans! 

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful new Vintage Artistry Tranquility 12x12 collection.  

This is a photo of my daughter-in-law and a few years ago, when they will still dating.

For this layout, I used the Genuine Calm paper.

Here is my layout.

For the layering of the matted photo, I selected frames from the Color Swatch 

Eucalyptus Frame Set.  I also added elements from the V/A Tranquility Ephemera 

Bits, Laser Cut Elements, and Spectrum Sherbet Remnants.

A small piece of Serene paper was cut out of the middle to create the pink check

tabs with a die.

This collection includes a packet of beautiful chipboard bits, and I have glued some of 
them to my photo. 

On the circle chipboard piece, I added a rub-on from the 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set.

The flower clusters are made up of a variety of pretty blooms, acetate leaves, butterflies, laser-cut wildflowers, tickets, and tags from the Ephemera Bits. 

The Ephemera Bits include beautiful clock faces with butterflies. Just stunning!

I added sentiments and butterflies from the 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set and 

12x12 Sentiment Rub-on Transfer Sheet. 

The final touches to this layout included, pearls, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Orchid, Pansy Lavender, Whispering Turquoise, and Mint Julep Green.

The Foliage Cluster #2 was snipped in pieces and tucked into the flower clusters.

The two Mini Tabs were dry brushed with Poodleskirt Pink and Orchid.

Hello, 49 and Market fans! 

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful new Color Swatch Blossom collection.  This photo is of my sweet granddaughter when she was only two weeks old, and on the 9th of January 2023, she began her first day of school. 

For this layout, I used paper 1. The pink shades in this collection are beautiful.

Here is my layout.

The matted photo is layered on pieces from the ARToptions Rouge laser cut elements, Swatch Blossom Envelope Bits, and a torn piece of a ticket from the Swatch Blossom ticket essentials. For the pink polka dot, green, and pink die-cut tabs I used trips from the ARToptions Rouge 6x8 paper pack and colored Foundations 12x12 paper pack.  I also added a film strip and frame from the ARToptions Rouge collection.

The ARToptions Rouge collection includes a packet of beautiful chipboard bits, and I've glued some of them to my photo.  The cute green bulldog clip is from the ARToptions Rouge die-cut washi sticker roll. 

 

This ARToptions Rouge collection includes a beautiful 12x12 inch Sentiments rub-on transfer sheet and I used the word sweet here, and from the Color Swatch Blossom 6x8 rub-on transfer set, I used a few of the beautiful butterflies and word art.

The flower clusters are made up of a variety of pretty blooms, acetate leaves, and laser-cut wildflowers and foliage.

For the title, I used two chipboard words and hearts from the ARToptions Rouge collection.

The final touches to this layout included pearls, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

 Hello, 49 and Market fans! 

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful new Vintage Artistry Serenity 12x12 collection.

For this layout, I used the Brief Glimpse paper.

This is a photo of my grandson James sleeping, such a precious photo and moment.

Here is my layout.

The matted photo is layered on pieces from the Serenity Ephemera bits, Remnants 

pack as well as elements from the Curators Essential and Meadow laser cut elements. 

I also added a V/A Essentials square file frame.

A packet of beautiful chipboard bits is included in this collection.  A circle shape was 

glued to the butterfly wings, and a heart was glued to the title. 

 A Dusty Attic chipboard title has been added to my layout.

 I added paint splatters and sentiments from the 6x8 Rub-on Transfer Set and 

12x12 Sentiment Rub-on Transfer Sheet.  The butterflies are from the Essential 

Butterflies 01 Rub-On Transfers.

For the two leaf clusters, I fussy cut leaves from the bonus paper included in the

{Chasing rainbows...}

  Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. My December design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic clouds, umbrellas, and a rainbow.  For this layout, I used pattern paper from the 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet collection.  I used the B-side of the Butterfly Flight for its beautiful bright colors.

This is my granddaughter Mila playing outside with her umbrella after it rained.  This was such a fun layout to make.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white acrylic paint, and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

The title, rainbow, and umbrellas were painted in Bubble Gum Pink, Boysenberry Pink, Sour Apple, Peaches 'n Cream, Whispering Turquoise, and Pineapple. I used the end of a thin paintbrush to make the dots on the umbrellas and then dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I dry brushed the edges of the clouds with Grey Storm and Whispering Turquoise.

The two Daily #words were heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The Page Pebble was painted in Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

To finish off my layout I added sequence, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

Hello, 49 and Market fans! 

Here is my second layout featuring the beautiful new ARToptions Holiday Wishes 12x12 collection.  This Christmas 

collection is filled with joy.

There are only a few days left before Christmas! I am sure you are all very excited and looking forward to spending time with your loved ones. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. May Christmas bring joy to your heart and happiness to your home. My husband and I will be celebrating our first Christmas in Australia with my daughter and her family, and we can't wait.

  

I used the Picking the tree paper for this layout.  It is perfect for this photo of my grandson Janco with his dirty happy feet playing with the Christmas van.

The photo has been layered on various pieces from the Holiday Wishes ephemera pack and laser-cut elements, and two Curators Essential Key Lined chipboard frames. I also added a square file frame from the V/A Essentials collections. The green piece is from the Spectrum Sherbet remnants. The edges of these pieces have been distressed.  I added a photo wrap from the laser-cut sheet and glued a paper ribbon and heart button to the photo wrap. The collection includes beautiful chipboard elements. I have glued some of them to my photos and on the small key lined chipboard frame. 

The words on both the trucks, The joy of toys and Believe in the magic are rub-ons from the 6x8 set.  The words under the Tree, HO HO HO, script, and splats in the corners are also from the 6x8 rub-on set.

Here I used a Dusty Attic chipboard title and stars.

 Hello everyone!

Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful and bright November mood board for Dusty Attic. 

For this layout, I used paper and elements from the 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet collection.

Here is the mood board.

and here is the layout of my sweet granddaughter.

All the chippies were first covered in white gesso and Americana Acrylic paint.

The Squiggly frame, title, and butterflies were painted in Peaches 'n Cream, Pineapple, Bahama Blue, and Boysenberry Pink, and then dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

As you can see from these photos, Mila loves to pose, and this title is perfect for them.

The Foliage #23 and Seedling #2 were painted in Mint Julep Green and Sour Apple and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I painted the daisies with white acrylic paint, and dry brushed them with Pineapple Yellow.  The center of the daisies was painted with a yellow Posca pen.
