Merry Christmas - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Greetings!

A very happy new year to you! Here's hoping that 2022 will be a safer, healthier and happier year for us all. 

I have decided to do a Christmas layout, as inspiration for all those photos that were taken over Christmas.

 Dusty Attic have some great Christmas chippies, so I thought creating a Christmas layout would be a good way to show you these amazing chipboard pieces. 

I have used a mix of Mintay papers and Ciao Bella papers to create my layout. The Christmas Postmarks (DA3149) and the Reindeer (DA3154) have been coloured using a metallique champagne coloured stamp pad. The Merry Christmas (DA3206) and the Christmas Berries (DA3143) have been coloured using a burgundy coloured stamp and then I have used Platinum Stickles to add glitter to the these.
The photo was matted first and added to the page with the leftover chipboard of the Merry Christmas title (leftover chipboard is great for adding dimension - I cut mine up and keep this in a bag). I layered the flowers and the added the berries.
I then added the postmarks and the this cutest reindeer. I used watered down ink from a stamp to colour in the eyes, the antlers, the scarf and the spots on the reindeer. 
The Merry Christmas title was added last. I added a little less stickles to the title.
Thank you for visiting the blog today. Happy scrapping your Christmas photos! Check out the Dusty Attic website to see their latest Christmas range.

These are the products I have used:




Till next time, take care

Without a further ado, here is the January board and inspiration by

JEN BURNS


HAPPY NEW YEAR Dusty FANattics

Today I get to reveal the JANUARY Mood Board challenge for Dusty Attic and it is just absolutely beautiful with its beach vibe and pale blues and soft browns. 
Here is the Board ...


and this is my INTERACTIVE 12x12 Layout 



Summer time means Beach Time and this is from when my Daughter in law Nicola took Kyden with my Grandbabies Mason and Rivah one afternoon to watch the sunset and have fun just playing around. 


She took a few photos which I  wanted to add to the layout so I have made a flip open interactive page to include pics of the Princess fast asleep on her mum's lap while the boys splashed, made sand castles and had an amazing time!


I started with the Distressed Frames Large  and coloured that a sand/tan colour along with the Get Framed - Circle to match.





The COASTAL living Impact Title  ,   Designer Disc #8 Bubbly,   Arrows #3 and   Geo Tags where painted with two different shades of blue to compliment each other. 
I then sponged some of the lighter blue onto the bottom of the title and the Designer Disc.



The Seagulls Mini Shells #1Mini Seagulls #1, and Mini skeleton Fish  I have painted with an array of creams and browns with a dash of pink. The Rope Knot #1 on the bottom of the frame has been inked with brown ink then I have added white highlights around the edge.




To complete my page I have added some stone art pebbles and flecks of white paint.

















Designer Disc #8 Bubbly
