Destination Unknown - Adri Du Preez

 Hello everyone!

I am sharing my October design team layout with you, featuring some beautiful Dusty Attic chipboard pieces and the gorgeous 49 and Market Wedgewood and Anywhere collections.

I took these photos of my daughter the year she started University. Because she started a new journey in her life, I decided to do this photo shoot at a railway crossing which resembles a journey to an unknown destination. She has done so well on her journey, and I am extremely proud of her.

Here is my layout.



The title, Geo Tags and foliage were first covered with white gesso.  I painted Destination with Americana Acrylic paint in Whispering Turquoise and dry brushed the edges with Greek Haze Acrylic Chalk paint.  The word unknown I painted with White Wash.  The Geo Tags were painted with the Greek Haze Acrylic Chalk paint and the edges dry brushed with white gesso. I painted the globe with black gesso.


To colour the Foliage #27 I used Versa Magic Chalk Ink in Sea Breeze and dry brushed the edges with white gesso. The Foliage #12 were painted with Americana Acrylic paint in Mint Julep Green and the edges dry brushed with white gesso.



The Hot Air Balloons, Cogs and Mini Chains were randomly covered with coarse gesso, and once dry covered with black gesso. Next, I painted the parts using a sponge brush and Americana Acrylic paint in Burnt Umber, Georgia Clay, Tangelo Orange, Greek Haze Acrylic Chalk paint and True Ochre. I dry brushed all the parts with white gesso and Art Alchemy Wax in Rich Copper.





These stunning Wordpl@y elements were dry brushed with white gesso and then Americana Acrylic paint in Peaches 'n Cream and Greek Haze Acrylic Chalk paint.
I inked the mini compass with Brilliance Pigment Ink in Chocolate.


After everything was glued down, I added splatters with diluted white gesso.

Explore - Lynette Jacobs

Lynette here, welcome to the blog today.  I have the pleasure of sharing some inspiration for September.  I used some photos of my youngest grandson doing what he loves most...behind the steering wheel of Daddy's car.   As you can see in the photos, he does look rather pleased with himself.   I used patterned papers from the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection.

The Chipboard used on this page:









Some close up details:

I wanted to create a scene in nature.  I painted the sun and clouds with acrylic paint.

The little compass was dry brushed with beige acrylic paint to give it a washed out look.

The quoted sentiments were also dry brushed with beige acrylic paint and the trees were painted and shaded.  The "daily" words were heat embossed with light blue embossing powder.

The blueprint word and the two arrows were heat embossed in gold to match some of the other gold elements on the page.

Dream, Discover, Explore - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I have to tell you I must do things backwards.... when its Winter I scrap Summer photos and when its Summer I scrap Winter photos. I dont know why, and I have always done it, do you do the same? I find I do my best layout when its the opposite of what's around me.

Grungy music = soft very girly layout.

Happy music = mixed media, darker layouts...... maybe I am revealing too much of my inner brain workings? I am sure its like an ink spot test some see butterflies others dragons, ahhh well thats for another day.

I am here to share with you this months Dusty Attic Moodboard and its has an awesome neutral vibe and I have to say I have loved working with it as its not my normal colour palette.





Feeling very inspired by the natural textures a summer beachy vibe was the way to go...



A Porthole is a perfect place to layer your chipboard and it also catches all your art stones and glitter and glass.



Looking for little elements in places which arent scrapping related, like these little gold fish - they are design for nail art .....




Large glass pearls add an instant beach vibe, to help cover up the extra glue add some glitter and glass shards to help cover the glue.





To add to the beach feel, keep your chipboard all white, just give it a spray with some spray paint and off you go. It works great with the etched chipboard as it allows all the detail to show.



So why dont your find your beachy vibes and enter into this months challenge.
