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.

November 2022

 Hello everyone, can you believe it is November already ?  Not long until the December festivities are upon us and here in Australia the kids are all breaking up for Christmas holidays mid December until February next year. 


At the moment "The Boss" is teaching on the much awaited Dusty Attic New Zealand cruise with a bunch of amazing ladies on this magnificent ship "Ovation of the Seas". This cruise was cancelled like many others and finally re scheduled with an amazing class room and an amazing array of classes from Double and Single layouts plus an awesome mini album.

The November Mood Board inspiration is bought to us today by

Today I have a super bright and fun layout of my two grand children who made some Dinosaur masks having "Crafty Fun". 

This is November's striking mood board with bright fun colours, I knew I had the perfect photos for this! There were lots of scary "Roars" coming from behind those masks.




I started with mounting my photos with orange and blue and deciding on the composition of my layout with four photo's that I wanted to use, then I got to work choosing and painting my chipboard pieces. 


The ABC123 borders I chose to add to the top and the bottom of the page and painted them with Impasto paints red and orange. The cute scissors I have painted with paint pens and the stars and Impact alphabet I have spray painted white.

To add some softness to the layout I then sponged some light blue paint over the Impact letters I used for my Title.


To colour the pencils I have used the same colour pen for the middle and then added the pencil colour at the tip and edges. Finishing off the scissors I have added some metal brads as the joint that opens and closed them.
