Tropical state of Mind - Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning sweeties,

Welcome to this lovely today, I am back after being sick with a nasty flue for more then three weeks and I am dreaming to have some warmer weather so for today I made a a summer layout with one of Camilla {from Maja Design} her daughters on their vacation to Italy last summer. For this layout I used the gorgeous "Enjoying outdoors" collection. I also used some of the fancy clocks from the clock sheet from the "Vintage Autumn Basics" collection through out my layout.

Tropical State of Mind: 

I just love the way Camilla takes her pictures most of the time when her girls don't see it. The chipboards I used are treated with gesso, rust effect paste military set and antique brilliance amethyst magic both by finnabair. All the flowers are by 49 and Market. I got the idea of using my chipboards like this by our very own Tina {thank you for your amazing talent xox}

I used some of the amazing new background 49 and Market stamps 1787 & Flowery Tile designed by Pascale on the Flourishing bs sheet. they I took out my fishnet stencil by Dusty Attic to add on several places on my layout. Underneath my picture & flowers clusters I added some cheese cloth.

After I treated my background I added three horizontal papers strips from the picking flowers sheet and placed the on the top, bottom and just above the bottom to get a flow in my design. And at the end I added some 3d balls and some shells to finish this layout.

Good morning everyone 

April was such a busy month and flew by, especially with school holidays and one of our most special days of the year is in April, which is ANZAC day.  

We released a Military Chipboard bundle plus four new Designer kits to help honour our men and women that have fought for peace all over the world.

New release MILITARY chipboard pieces. 
To save $10 off the complete bundle just follow this link (or you can purchase any of these pieces separately)
https://www.dustyattic.com.au/products.php?product=ANZAC-Bundle-Offer

(ANZAC Day is one of the most important national occasions held on the 25th of April annually. It stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corp, and although started in 1915 in Gallipoli we remember those that served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. )

These layout kits are all created by Jen Hedger ('the Boss"). Military holds a very special place in her heart with not only her husband who serves even now but her brothers and ancestors who fought bravely years ago.  These are all available for retail customers to purchase on the website, a limited number only.
