Love Completely by Tina Dalton and Dad by Lizzy Hill - Mood Board Inspiration

What a gorgeous pallet combination of colors and words that  make this months mood board challenge at   Dusty Attic

 I just love the warmth that comes from this pallet.

I have been wanting to use the corrugate card so I decided to use it and paint it white, I have seen this card stock used in so many male grungy creations and wanted to use it with the added soft femine touch, I love the result. 

 

 

Some close ups...

Hey there fellow scrappers! Sharing with you my take on our current FEBRUARY CHALLENGE.

It's a CORKER! So's the prize you can win.....YUP! A voucher for $100....pretty good, eh??!!! The mood board:

Now there's a story to  this one [which is why I've got a PILE of journaling on my page]....for more information on THAT bit of it, you can check out my post HERE. Suffice to say my Dad wasn't the easiest man to have around the house when he drank:/

But he was a good Dad in many other ways...enough guff!

This photo is from my 1st marriage waaaaay back in the 80's. Yes, I know, many of you weren't even BORN then. The colours just fitted the challenge to a 'tee'. And we lived on a farm. And it was time I 'faced' how I felt about my Dad. So I went with that:

Some yummy 7 Dots Studio papers. Glimmer Mist. A torn bit of cardboard [already gessoed - must've been for something else in the dim, dim past??!!!]. And lost of journaling. Which I TOYED with making private. But in the end, I decided, for me, scrapping is about the STORY as much as the picture and the creativity. Hence, the words became part of the design:)

Some closies of the YUMMY DA goodies I've used:

Birds on a wire. Lightly coated in DA paint [RAISIN]...the houses I left raw. I could get deep and meaningful & say something like "Doing this page left me a bit emotionally raw...hence, the houses..."

But [puke!]...I won't!!!!

I'm not a great flower user. But I find myself reaching for these VINTAGE ROSES ones all the time. Weird. Still, you can't blame me. Aren't they BEAUTIFUL??? Those buttons in the bg were 'raw' too. But I used stamps to print on the them. And I didn't smudge them. PHEW!!!

 Some of my journaling..... more of the 'Main Street' house set. There are sooo many uses for these chippies!

 In my title I used most of the words from the Word Pack #6:

 The washi behind made it stand out nicely!

And one more shot of that GORGEOUS barbed wire. I added cross stitches in quite coarse twine. I'm sure there's some symbolism in there, too, if you can be bothered thinking about it!!!

 I really hope you get to join in with this challenge. Not only is the prize of $100 of Dusty Attic products AWESOME - but it's a fabulous mood board - just take the bits that 'speak' to you & get scrappy, I say. You don't have to follow it to a tee - it's for YOUR inspiration!

And remember, you can buy DA products direct from the web now HERE.

Thanks for looking & happy scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥

Always dream - Tina Dalton

I have been wanting to create a layout for my Mother in law, who is my biggest fan, she loves my creations and is always so full of praise and encouragement for me, I really appreciate her support and hope she liked her gift. I have helped her along and she is now the creator of some amazing cards and of course she just loves to overload them with her favorite Dusty Attic chipboard. 
The Dusty Mini selection is just amazing for cards and pocket page scrapping as well on layouts of corse. 

I used a fair bit of chipboard on this one as there were just so many pieces that suited the layout.

I have listed the Dusty Attic pieces I have used below - remember you can now buy straight from the website:  HERE

Mini Birdcage #2

Precious Memories - Tina Dalton

 

Hi Everyone

     I scrapped this layout last week as I was really wanting to use this photo of my Grand Daughter Shontay, even though you cant see her face, we had a great time with the camera this particular day, she grabbed this hat of mine and was dancing around on the grass having such a magical time.  Of course I was off like a rocket to grab the camera.

I love the birds on the wire Chipboard and just felt it would suit the look and feel of this layout added with some other whimsical pieces and a title it came together really well.

 

 

I painted all my chipboard pieces white, lightly sanded them to give them the shabby look and painted the birds using liquid pearls, they are light but added just a bit of color.

 

Dusty Attic pieces used are :

Birds on a wire : DA0708 

Precious :  DA0035

Beautiful Just the way you are - Tina Dalton

Good morning all, I am so very excited to learn that I get to stay on with Dusty Attic for another Design Team term, not only do I get to continue using the amazing products I also get to share this journey with some amazingly talented and lovely ladies :) 

I am in the middle of moving my scrapbook room so my scrapping has been minimal at the moment but I have created a few layouts to share with you all.

I created this layout using the large shutter window, minus the side shutters

.

I just love these shutters and like so many of the Dusty Attic pieces I have used these on more than one occasion.

 

I have also used the Dusty Attic  products listed 

Beautiful ( Just the way you are ) - quote

Leafy Scroll

Large Window with Shutters

Discover your talents - Tina Dalton - Sketch inspiration

Hi everyone, Tina with you today on the blog, you still have a few days to enter the sketch challenge, I really like the sketch at Dusty Attic this month, and was keen to create a layout inspired using it.

I decided to use the ATC frames as my centre piece and then create my layout around these, I love how you can add photos or patterned papers, quotes or anything really and the frames always look great, this was also good for me as I didnt really have a set of 3 photos to create with so I was able to create the effect of the sketch without 3 photos.

 

I really like the simplicity of this sketch, it allows you to create by leaving empty spaces or fill it in a bit depending on your style, I must admit I struggle with blank spaces and generally mange to sneak some kind of embellishment or something into my spaces :)

 

I hope you are playing along with these sketches, they are always so nice and the prizes are great, just add your link to the sidebar at the top right.

The products I have used are :

Word pack #3

Teeny Tiny ABC set

ATC frame #4

Elegant Swirl #3

Mini Birds #1
These are all available straight from the
DUSTY ATTIC Website 

Birdhouse by Tina Dalton

I created this Dusty Attic Bird house a while back, I have decorated it using Maja
Design papers. These Birdhouses are so much fun to create,
and so many ways you could decorate them, its really just a case of letting
your creative mind take you away.I knew in my mind I wanted to create a feature
with hanging hearts and wanted a distressed shabby look, I added some hearts
 cut from MDF board and attached them to the bottom using tiny cup rings.
 

thanks for looking and make sure you pop over to  Dusty Attic and check
 out all the amazing Off the page creations that are available,
They really do have an amazing Off the page product range and with Christmas
creeping upon us at a very fast rate ( Sorry ) they have an amazing
 Christmas range including great Advent calenders.
