Magical Moments - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.

My December design team layout and the last layout for 2023 are filled with beautiful Dusty Attic Christmas chipboard pieces.

I hope your Christmas Day was everything you expected and more. I love everything about Christmas, especially the time that we spend together as a family.

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year, full of love, light, and blessings!

This layout features my granddaughter Mila. She was only four months old when I took this photo and it was her first Christmas.

Here is my layout.

I started on the background using the Starry Night stencil with Ranger Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry. On my layout, I glued jute and ric rac cut with my Silhouette as if wrapping a Christmas present.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white acrylic paint and then painted with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the title with Tuscan Red and the mini caption with Hauser Light Green.

What is a Christmas layout without stars? The stars were painted with Tuscan Red, Boysenberry Pink, and Hauser Light Green, and then lightly rubbed with gold glitter glue. I then covered all the stars with glossy accents.

The bow was painted with Boysenberry Pink and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

The ornate and mini Christmas trees were painted with Hauser Light Green and dry brushed with white acrylic paint.

I dry brushed the houses with Slate Grey and the edges with Ranger Black Zoot. Some of the mini stars were glued around the houses.

The final touches to this layout included glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

MDF Reindeer - Deb Stephens

I love these new MDF, Beyond the page projects that Jen has made. Although I have only featured one here, I plan to have a whole family of them under my Tree by Christmas!

I used the Holiday Spray, Bows and mini Jingle Bells on the Large MDF Reindeer.

The Reindeer was covered in Christmas Collage paper and then decorated with Chipboard and Mini Wreaths from my stash.

His Antlers were glittered and finish him off beautifully! He is decorated on both sides so I can display him either way.

Wishing you all a Safe and Happy Festive season and I look forward to seeing you all next year!

A YouTube video showing you how I did this is available on my Chanel linked below:

Christmas Albums - Anat Weksler

Hello dear friends!

It's Anat here with my November project - Christmas Albums.

Christmas is coming so I thought it's time to start showing you the fabulous Chippies Dusty Attic has for the Holidays season like the amazing Christmas labels.

I made a couple of Clutch Handbag Photo Albums, using chipboards mostly on the cover.

The chippies were colored with Lindy's sprays and Finnabair's Waxes.

Here are the chipboard used:

November 2020

Hello to November

I don't know about you but I feel like this last half of the year is whizzing bye where the beginning of the year went quite slowly in comparison.

An email I received from one of our amazingly talented designers made me cry, our beautiful Rachelle Sigurdson is leaving Dusty Attic to concentrate on her own family and have more time to concentrate on her garden and other passions that she has.

I have to say personally I adore Rachelle and as the DT Co-ordinator she has proven well over seven years to be not only an outstanding designer and advocate for Dusty chippy but also a wonderful friend (aka BRAT) albeit all the way from Canada ! I have always loved seeing her name pop up in my inbox to see what mind blowing layout she has sent us this time. So many times Jen Hedger and I have thought " I would never have thought to use that piece for that !!"

Jen and I can not express how much we have enjoyed having you in the Dusty family Rachelle and wish you all the best for ever xox.

Here are just a small sprinkling of Rachelle's creations that she has shared over the years for us to enjoy.

16th September 2013 was when Rachelle joined us, and because it was only yesterday the first piece I will share with you is a Halloween card.

I started with the largest of the String of Hearts Frame set and painted it white, I then used Shabby Pink heat embossing powder on just the heart sections.
