There is sunshine in my Soul today - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here today to share my latest creation for Dusty Attic and its also based on the Moodboard challenge.

I love the colour combination and it was a great way to use up little bits of rub ons left from past collections and its a really easy way to create a background for some Dusty Attic Chipboard.

The Botanical Ringlet isnt a full one it was a little bit left over that I cut away a couple of months ago, but it teams up with the Botanical Runner and Botanics.

I hope this inspires you to play along with the challenge you have a couple of days left to still play along....

Good Luck and have fun creating.

LIFE Documented - Kim Arnold

Hi everyone! I have some masculine layout inspiration for you today using the amazing large underground network background. I love the effect that I have been able to achieve by layering this piece over a grungy background paper and an A4 acetate printed with gears and text. Dusty Attic has so many great masculine style pieces available which makes it easy to scrap those layouts about sons, husbands, grandchildren and male friends.

I have made this layout using the large underground network, an industrial frame circle embellished with industrial jumbo gears and a title from the word pack 55. I will walk you through the techniques I applied to each of the elements.

Underground Network Large DA2281

I started with the large background piece, painting it black and then rubbing a dark grey wax from Prima wax roughly over it so that it wasn’t a solid finish. When I attached it to my background paper, I left a small amount hanging off the right edge of the layout and then cut the chipboard flush with the edge.

Industrial Jumbo Gears DA3363

I then added a bronze Prima wax to the industrial circle frame and vintage gold wax to a variety of cogs from the industrial jumbo gears 2. I then layered these pieces over two 3x4 inch photos of my son working on his car. Although the frame covers parts of the photos, you can still easily see what the photos are about. I love how the frame with the gears really works with the photo topics.

I then cut lots of little works and icons from a patterned paper and layers them to the left of the photos and frame over part of the underground network background.

Word Pack #55 DA3409

The title was finished with copper Prima wax and attached at the bottom of the frame. I really love the finish that Prima wax gives to chipboard as it has great coverage, dries solid and won’t rub off and you can get them in metallic or matte finishes.

I hope you have a chance to get some creative time in soon.

Happy scrapping

First Day - Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today.

My September design team layout features beautiful school chippies from Dusty Attic.

Our lives are filled with new events and experiences, and going to school for the first time is one of those very special events. How can one forget their first day? I still remember my first day of school clearly.

My granddaughter started Grade 1 in January of this year. She was so excited when she put on her school uniform for the first time. It was such a memorable day for the family. She is so sweet, brave, and smart, and already made a lot of friends and beautiful memories.

A week after school started I arranged this photo shoot.

Here is my layout.

I included a folder and booklet with tabs in this layout.

Here is the inside of the folder.

Here is the booklet. I will show photos of the inside as well.

All the chippies were first primed with a layer of white gesso and then painted

with Americana Acrylic paint.

For the Ombre effect on the title and word pack, I used Cool Blue at the top and Quilt Blue Heritage Acrylic Paint at the bottom and dry brushed with white acrylic paint in the middle.

I used a white Posca Pen as well as the Light Green to color the book stack.

I colored the apple with and the bracket as well as the bracket on the folder with Sour Apple.

The broken bits numbers were painted with white acrylic paint and the edges were dry brushed with Cool Blue.

I colored these adorable little pencils with Posca Pens in Orange, Light Green, and Yellow. I left the wood part of the pencil raw.

These Mini Me chippies are my favorite. They are so cute! They were colored in the same colors as the pencils. I glued some of these Mini Me chippies to the title as well.

Some close up of the inside of the booklet.

You & Me - Kim Arnold

Hi everyone! I am back with some more inspiration from this month’s beautiful mood board. There is no doubt that this month’s mood board suits a layout about love, so I chose to scrapbook a recent selfie of my husband and I when we went on a day trip on the Trans-Alpine railway in the South Island of Ne Zealand. It wasn’t the best weather but we had an amazing day anyway.

From the huge range of Dusty Attic chipboard, I chose some textural elements from the Discover custom mixed chipboard, a title, word strips, foliage and a butterfly for this layout. I will take you through what I have used and what techniques I applied.

I started with the title, going with an ombre effect with a pink red at the top going to a lighter version of this colour on the bottom. I used the same colours on the “love this” word circle (which is from the Discover custom mixed chipboard sheet). The darker colour is in the middle and the lighter colour on the outside circle. I finished both pieces with dimensional magic to really make them pop.

Word Pack #52

I painted the broken circle pieces from the Discover custom mixed chipboard sheet with black paint and then sprayed it with a dark grey mica spray which gave it a beautiful sparkle.

The butterfly was painted pink with white paint sponged through the middle and finished with glitter. The word strips were also painted pink and then finished with dimensional magic.

Butterflies #3 small

There are a couple of little banner flags which are also from the Discover custom mixed chipboard sheet, tucked under the paper flowers on the left. I used the pink red colour from the title on this and made polka dots with dimensional magic to add extra interest. I love how this turned out and will use this technique in the future. The smaller banner flag is done the same way as the broken circle pieces – paint and mica spray.

The last piece is the foliage. My love affair with foliage and berries continues and for this layout I painted the leaves and stems green and used the dark pink red for the berries. Touches of dimensional magic on the berries makes them come to life. The berries were snipped from a piece in the foliage clusters 3 set, which I had left over from using the leaves on another layout. Chipboard is great because it is easy to cut up and use the different bits.
