November 2022

Hello everyone, can you believe it is November already ? Not long until the December festivities are upon us and here in Australia the kids are all breaking up for Christmas holidays mid December until February next year.

At the moment "The Boss" is teaching on the much awaited Dusty Attic New Zealand cruise with a bunch of amazing ladies on this magnificent ship "Ovation of the Seas". This cruise was cancelled like many others and finally re scheduled with an amazing class room and an amazing array of classes from Double and Single layouts plus an awesome mini album.

The November Mood Board inspiration is bought to us today by

Today I have a super bright and fun layout of my two grand children who made some Dinosaur masks having "Crafty Fun".

This is November's striking mood board with bright fun colours, I knew I had the perfect photos for this! There were lots of scary "Roars" coming from behind those masks.

I started with mounting my photos with orange and blue and deciding on the composition of my layout with four photo's that I wanted to use, then I got to work choosing and painting my chipboard pieces.

The ABC123 borders I chose to add to the top and the bottom of the page and painted them with Impasto paints red and orange. The cute scissors I have painted with paint pens and the stars and Impact alphabet I have spray painted white.

To add some softness to the layout I then sponged some light blue paint over the Impact letters I used for my Title.

To colour the pencils I have used the same colour pen for the middle and then added the pencil colour at the tip and edges. Finishing off the scissors I have added some metal brads as the joint that opens and closed them.

100% BOY - Michelle Van Oudsthoorn

Hello lovelies

I am so in love with the new industrial pieces that Dusty Attic have recently released, and of course, one of my favourite embellishments to do male pages with are gears, so these new pieces were right up my alley!

I have used an older Stamperia range of papers to create my layout. Which I have torn and distressed before putting them together. I then added some stenciling on the background with an oxide ink using the glass stain stencil DA1498. The photo was adhered with foam tape in the middle so I was able to tuck the gears under the photo.

The chipboard pieces I have used are DA3360 - Industrial corner; DA3363 - Industrial jumbo gears; DA3380 - Industrial cluster #8. I have used DA2696 - Impact ABC set and DA 2878 to create the title.

All chipboard pieces were first coated in black gesso. When these had dried I added Prima Alchemy waxes to colour these.

Once the photo had been adhered, I added the industrial corners to the top left and bottom right corner just under the photo, and then placed the Industrial cluster at the top of the photo on top of that corner piece.

I then layered the nuts and bolts, and the gears off the industrial cluster and the jumbo gears on top of all the pieces and down the sides to create my layers

The number in the title has been created using the capital "i" and the capital "o" and the % was created using one of the mini tools and the screw heads from the industrial cluster piece.

These are the Dusty Attic products I have used:

Take care,

Michelle

My Happy Place - Jen Burns - Mood Board inspiration

Hello Dusty FANattics

Jen here today with a layout as inspiration for you to join in the Dusty Attic Mood Board monthly challenge where you could win one of two $50 AUD Credits to the DUSTY ATTIC ONLINE STORE

This is the gorgeous board with it's cool and calming greens and creams.

"My Happy Place"

Just before Christmas one of my most amazingly beautiful friends whom I love dearly came and helped me make my very own "ZEN" place to sit and just be present in the moment.
I find just sitting out here with my plants, statues and a coffee is so relaxing and recharging, so of course I had to take photos and scrapbook a page. Dusty Attic garden gnomes, foliage and garden chippy is perfect.

I started with colouring the Garden Tool #2 set with different shades of green, brown, metallic grey and rust.

Next I have used an array of different greens to use on the Succulents Mixed chippy with highlights of white, yellow and magenta.

The garden gnomes, title and (ZEN) from the Impact ABC set I have spray painted white then distressed the title a little bit.
Did you know that the Impact letters are also sold separately ? Which comes in handy if you need extra vowels or common letters in names like "R" "S" etc.

After that I have used Tri Blend (Spectum noir) pens in Dull Green and Ice Blue Blends to colour the cute little garden Gnomes.

My papers, flowers and laser cut pieces are from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Naturalist collection and I have used this mixed inbetween my chipboard pieces.

To finish off my page I have added some rub ons to the ZEN word and popped it into some brackets

Thanks for joining me today and I would love to see your very own creations on the

Dusty FANattics page maybe with your ZEN place.

Boobook Owl - Belinda Spencer - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello Dusty Attic fans!!

It's Belinda here with you today to share my layout inspired by the beautiful September Mood Board.

Here's a reminder of the stunning neutrals of the Mood Board:

I love how soft and restful for the eyes these colours are. I decided to create a NON Halloween layout using the new Halloween chippies and the natural colours of the mood board.

'Boobook Owl'

I am lucky enough to have a gorgeous Southern Boobook Owl living in my hayshed at the moment which just happened to be perfect timing to use the new Owl chippies.

I used some Heidi Swapp Blush Colour Shine on my background cardstock to start my layout. Once dry, I added some stencilling using the Starry Night Stencil which is a favourite of mine and some Snow White Colour Blast Colour Paste. I flicked some of the Colour Shine over the page too. Once everything was completely dry, I added some beautiful rub-ons by 49 and Market.

Next I added a LOT of layers using mostly 49 and Market papers, ephemera and frames. I stapled my layers together and layered them on top of a torn piece of Corrugated Card. I added all of this to the page along with my photo.

Next I painted all of the chipboard pieces with about three coats of heavy white gesso. Once dry, I added some ink to the edges of the chipboard using a brown ink. The ink turned out to be too much of a contrast against the white so I coloured over the top with a white Posca Paint Pen. This made the inking much more subtle which was the look I was after.

Finally, I added all of my embellishments to my layout including the chipboard pieces and some flowers. I added some stamping too.

I love mixing up the various alphabets available at The Dusty Attic. I wanted to place the emphasis on the 'Boo' so I used the Impact ABC Set for that as it was larger.
