Angels

I love that quote: "Friends are kisses blown to us by Angels", just right for these two gorgeous girls, Michelle and Evana, who have warmed my heart, bring me laughter and who inspire me every day!

This layout was such fun to create, yummy new Dusty, gorgeous papers by Donna Salazar and Pion Design, hand made flowers, hand stitching, lace, denim... all those good things!!

The large paper flower was hand made using the Spellbinders Rose Creations Die by Donna Salazar using some Antiquities and Spring in Bloom offcuts and then smooched with SmoochSpritz Caramel Latte.  The little fabric one was an altered Prima one I pulled apart and added some denim and a rhinestone brad... because I could LOL!

A closeup of one of the hand made flowers, ala Mis style {aka Dodgy}!  I sprinkled these with some Fairy Dust Glitter which you can just see in the photo... LOVE this glitter, I was covered in it for days, so was Coco!!

Mmmm new Dusty Attic Chipboard, this one of my newest faves - Corner Flourish #2

This was painted in Unbleached Titanium paint then sprayed with SmoochSpritz {yes, I am LOVING these mists} and then inked with some Mix'd Media Inx, yummy!  Oh I so love these flowing Dusty Corners... they are perfect!!

You can just see in the background there one of the Shadow Flowers, this is another one of Donna Salazar Designs dies, it's fabulous!  In the packaging it doesn't look terribly exciting, but it's one of the those shapes that is a perfect background design, nice and subtle, soft and flowing, it's a fave already.  I'm so glad I bought it!!

Divine Diva Canvas

"Jen, could I one day have a dress forme, with wings, chippie"... "sure Mis"!

Lookie here, isn't she beautiful!  I love that Jen makes our chippie dreams come true, what a woman!

I had loads of fun with this, I love creating a mess!  Layers of tissue paper and lace, then impasto and loads of mists.  I love using Impasto with lace, it squishes in holding it to the project, without losing all the wonderful texture.

Her beautiful wings were saturated with water until the layers were easily lifted, all those feathers are etched into the chipboard and lift and fluff so easily once you've soaked them with water.

She was glittered and sealed, and then dressed in lace and muslin... and now she keeps me company as I scrap away!

Joy

I have to admit, I'm a little bit proud of this LO... I struggle with all things Christmas, not sure why because I ADORE Christmas itself, but all the hoo haa prior to it just does me in... and scrapping it, I really need to be in the right mood. This one took me all day to get my head around it... I had all these cool embies to use, and only these old Basic Grey papers appealed, but they didn't 'match'... so I made them match LOL!!

I set the glittery swirls into some impasto and added some alcohol inks and mists once it was dried, melding it into the background paper... LOVE Impasto, it's my new favourite friend!!

I am thinking I might be over the Christmas Phobia now... because this was FUN!!

Kel being Kel, still love his smile even when he's trying to pull a goofy one.  They always warm my heart - I imagine being his mum they always will!

Loads of boyish grunge here... blacks and greys with rusty tones.  Kel loves it!

Metallic elements really help build a masculine page, charms coming in handy here!

Dusty Attic Chipboard Cogs... perfect, always!

A Little Dusty in Hyden

The Dusty Girls... well some of us!


 

I love this LO... the way Wave Rock in the background matches the DSD Antiquities paper so perfectly, the new Dusty Attic Cherry Blossom chippy blends perfectly with the printed, the flowers were just right... everything just happened and flowed like it was all meant to be!  Don't you love that new alpha font from Dusty Attic as well, just the right size!

The chippy here was painted white, dabbed with some stains and blended with more white paint, then smooched for a subtle colour on the cherry blossoms, and then some definition drawn in with sepia ink.

The handmade flower was cut using a Spellbinders Die, Grand Peony by Donna Salazar - these dies make flower making far too easy!  Mine still don't have that 'perfect' look, but I guess that's just me...

And I have popped on some Green Tara cherry blossoms, to match with the cherry blossom chippy!
