Hello, dear friends! When I saw our new October mood board I can't stop thinking about pink color and softness of roses so it finally inspired me to create the most tender envelopes I ever made.

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

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!

Happy Days - Belinda Spencer

Hello Dusty Attic fans.

It's Belinda here with you today to share my latest layout for The Dusty Attic featuring some of the more newer chipboard pieces.

For this layout, I began by adding some colour ink to my heavy weight smooth white cardstock. I spritzed it with water and then placed some plastic packaging over the top to spread the colour out. I dried the page with a heat gun and then used a stamping with a stencil technique to add the pattern. I spritzed some green Dylusions Spray Ink onto the plastic packaging, swiped my stencil through it and then stamped the stencil onto the layout. I dried the page again and added some stamping using a garden inspired background stamp.

I painted all of my chipboard pieces with heavy white gesso and added the gorgeous Botanical Ringlet to the page.

I coloured the rest of the chipboard pieces using Posca Paint Pens. I love these pens so much for mess free altering of chipboard not to mention for art journalling. Who's got time for cleaning brushes?!! I would rather be making more art than cleaning up!!
