Good Morning AUGUST 2016

 

Lots has been happening at Dusty Attic HQ, a new release of gorgeous designs at the beginning of July and then new Titles and Quotes at the end of the month which we run a competition on face book to win this whole set.... 

I'm pretty sure after reading the comments the favorite was "Dream with your eyes wide open", very closely followed by  "Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened" 

My personal favorite is "If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart"

The random winner of this whole pack is

CHERYL TAYLOR
(Sydney Australia)

 

 

Remember you can order these and any of the Dusty Attic chipboard straight from the website 

 





 

 



While we are talking and celebrating winners, The Mood board challenge was yet again so hard for the design team to choose just one entry, but they managed to in the end!

 The winner of July's board is    

Georgie C 



 

Thank you to everyone that entered and remember I am keeping a spread sheet of all entries and there will be a winner at the end of the year for the person who has entered the most.

 

Now onto a new mood board and

RACHELLE SIGURDSON

has done this truly extraordinary layout using her garden together with the board as inspiration.

 (She shares lots of close ups for us to drool over)

 

 I am in awe of the amount of small details that Rachelle puts into all her creations and this one is just overloaded with them !

I did the cobblestone stencil work under the cobblestone chipboard. I applied DA clear crackle varnish on to most of the chipboard, let dry, then blended in color to bring out the cracks....

I dipped the mini blossoms in water, then separated the layers of chipboard, then dabbed on the watered down paints, (Capri & Oceania). Once they had dried I glued them together & glued on beads into the flower centers....

To add another layer to the the arch window &bottle border, I used the old wooden fence small....

Thank you so much for taking the time to look, & I am looking forward to seeing, what you come up with, with this months Mood Board....Rachelle
