Live, Love, Laugh - Lynette Jacobs - Mood Board Inspiration

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today. I am sharing my take on the May mood board. I used a photo of my daughter-in-law and me.  Love this girl.  I used one of our local South African Brands, Penelope Dee Agatha collection for this page.

The Mood board:

Products used:

Chain rectangles

Christmas Berries #1

Mini Captions #6

Confetti Stencil

Some close ups of the page:

I matted white cardstock onto a patterned paper and stitched around the edge.  I then applied some distress ink through the Confetti Stencil to add texture to the cardstock.

I love this monochromatic colour scheme.  I heat embossed all the chipboard that was used on this page.  The chain rectangle was added as an additional layer behind my photo.

I am truly  blessed beyond measure with this lovely girl in my life.

I layered the heat embossed Christmas berries behind the fussy cut floral.  Love how it adds to the page.

You just can't go wrong with beautiful chipboard on your pages.

a little DIRT never hurt - Lynette Jacobs

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today.  I have the pleasure of sharing some inspiration for August.  I used some photos of my youngest grandson playing in the dirt in the garden.  I love all the expressions in his little face...he has so much personality.  I used patterned papers from the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection.

Chipboard used on this page:

A little Dirt never hurt

Chain rectangles

Gnomes small

Garden Tools #2

Gnome sentiments

Some close up details:

I love the earthy tones of the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection.  They compliment these photos perfectly.  I heat embossed the main title with copper embossing powder.

These little gnomes are just darling...I painted them with acrylic paint...the gnome sentiments are just perfect too.  I used a Sizzix leaf die to add extra colour behind the gnome.

I heat embossed the chain rectangle in copper to showcase the photo where Eben pulls his face.  He has so many expressions.

I added another little gnome to the left side of the photos.  The label was added to give some separation from the background.

The trowel and bucket was also painted with acrylic paint.  I added the leaf dies and gnome sentiments to all three clusters for continuity.

There is really gnome one like him. ♥

I am really very happy with the way this page came together.

Thank you for visiting the blog.  Visit the Dusty Attic online store for more amazing designs.

Happy crafting!

Photo Box - Ankarika Craft

  Hi there!

We are halfway through the summer holidays. This year we decided to spend every Sunday on trips, regardless of the weather. So we look forward to every Sunday with longing. How is your holiday in 2021? Show off where you were, what you saw. Are you resting from the studio or maybe the holidays have no influence on your work? I want to show you the photo box today. I had the order like this before, if you want to see it, it's here.

Peace - Rachelle Sigurdson
