Making Memories - Deb Stephens - Sketch Inspiration

Hi everyone. Here is a scrapbook layout using the September sketch as inspiration. these photos were taken in Malaysia where I got to spend some time with my cousins having a coffee and a catchup, hence the travel theme.

I used a mixture of 49 & Market paper, rub- on's, Stitch frames, film strips and laser cuts along with some Dusty Attic Chippy to complete the layout.

DA3342 Making Memories was used for the main title, along with the Mini Blue Passports DA2965 (Seriously!! How cute is it!) 

I also used numbers from DA2389 Number Jumble for the year. this was followed up with the #Family piece from DA3299 Daily #3 set. 

I love the freedom of being able to create a layout using my stash and the Sketch as my guide. I'm hoping it inspires you to create as well.

Escape Outdoors - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here to share with you the newest challenge for Dusty Attic Chipboard and I have to say its such a pretty mood board and the possibilities are endless. 

                        Especially when you want to do something that has multiple layers.... 

When you start a layout like that you really  need a big feature piece of chipboard  like the Botanical Rings #2. I have added some foam mount under this to give me more options when sticking my pattern papers down to the page.

So once I have my pattern paper flowers over the ring, some of those have multiple layers of foam tape others do not I can start adding my other ephemera pieces in a couple of clusters....

Now its about adding my chipboard elements starting off with the Daisies and Lavender sprays , they get positioned between the layers of flowers and ephemera.

Now your smaller chipboards can be added throughout the layout like the passport and compass.

The rainbow adds to the fun and whimsy of the layout and it teams up great with the Great Outdoors chipboard title.

Finish off the layout with paper flowers and even tiny resin ones.

I hope this has inspired you to play with all your chipboard elements....

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.  I used beautiful Dusty Attic travel chippies and the paper is from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Anywhere collections for this layout.  In this blog post, I feature my grandson James, or Baby James as his cousins Mila and Janco call him. The day they immigrated to Australia, his dad took this photo at the OR Tambo Airport. The planes fascinated him.  It is a very special photo for me.  Everything about this little boy makes me miss him.  The sound of his voice, the way he laughs, his hugs, and his smell.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso, except for the arrows and the camera.

It was so much fun coloring the chippies. I used Americana Acrylic paints to match the background paper.

Isn't the little passport adorable? And the suitcases are amazing with their handles and locks. 

All the different travel icons are stunning.  

 I raised some of the chippies on foam tape.

To finish off my layout I added enamel dots and,  splatters with diluted white gesso.
