"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!

Kellan... again!

LOL... lots of Kel for once, poor child has been neglected scrap wise lately in my need for girly and MORE on a LO... but the break has done me well I think, I've had the best fun creating boy themed LO's!

So I have my Dusty Attic hat on now LOL! This is a simple clean one. I kept trying to add more too it, but I like the simplicity... like having that Dusty Attic Skeleton Clock standing out and framing the pic.

I have used some 7 Gypsies Paper {this one is available at Tomorrow's Memories}, and Dusty Attic Mini Fleur de Lis, Skeleton Clock Face {from their new release} and a couple of custom cut pieces. I loved the the Mini Fleur de Lis fitted in beautifully with the PP!!

I have used various techniques here... all involving inks, distress paints, UTEE, Glimmer Mists etc. The Skeleton Clock has some Fusible Film applied to the reverse to create the holographic coloured effect, I am LOVING using the Fusible Film under these clock faces, match made in Mistra heaven!

If you're hunting down some Dusty Attic goodness, Dusty Attic have a retailers list on their Ning site here. If you are having trouble trying to find some internationally, nag your favourite scrap shop to contact Dusty!! Also remember that a lot of the Australian stores will ship internationally as well, just pop them an email and see what they can arrange for you.

Take care of you.

Love [this kid] Always

and I do... he might be a teenager but I'm not seeing the teen angst yet {thank you god in heaven}, I see a child who cant do enough to make me happy, I get hugs and I love you's and he does anything I ask of him, and fluffs over me when I'm worn out and tired... love him SO much!

These papers were in the Red Earth August Mini Kit... and I almost tried to not use them. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED them... but the patterns were so lovely I didn't want to cover them up. So I realised I didn't have to... I cut the patterns out instead. I am SO in love with the Dragon... and Kel thinks he's a bit cool as well!




I also love this shot of Kel! The original in colour was a bit washed out, but with the Lightroom Filter it came out a treat!

I was inspired by the 'wrinkly corners' some fab US girls have been using on their LO's... so had to play. As always mine's a bit rougher and not so refined, but it was FUN!

The Dusty Chipboard was inked, then embossed in places with Ranger Antiquites Embossing Powder in Verdigris, UTEE'd and then sprayed with Pirates Plunder Gold MoonShadow Mist.

Red Earth Mini Kit: 7 Gypsies Papers, 7 Gypsies Key & Cream/Jute Ric Rac.

Red Earth: Jenni Bowlin Pin, Cardstock, Carolee's Adorn It Alpha Stickers

From my Stash: Dusty Attic Scroll #3 {Trimmed}, Dusty Attic Words, 7 Gypsies Card, Muslin, Collections Label, Metal Buttons, Tim Holtz Journal Ticket

Take care of you.

Pie2

Today I actually found a use for Pi, caused much chattering at work when someone gave us the circumference of a circle sticker to quote and not the diameter... therefore using Pi, we got the answer. I would say you learn something new everyday... but I'm sure I was taught this in highschool... but that was sooooooooo long ago, so sometimes you RE-learn something new everyday!

Here's another use for Pie:

I've had these pics of the boys since May, and when Helen sent me the August Mini Kit to play with I knew the papers would be PERFECT!!

To create this I have used the following.

From Red Earth Mini Kit: 7 Gypsies PP, Jenni Bowlin Pin, 7 Gypsies Mini Keys.

From Red Earth: Dusty Attic Wrought Iron Fence Border

My Stash: Dusty Attic Lamp Post #1, Chan's Crocheted Trim, Antique Music Sheet, Tim Holtz Journal Ticket, German Scrap, Muslin, Dusty Attic Custom Cut Title.

The chipboard was finished with swipes of Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Luminarte Daubers, UTEE and Gold Glimmermist.

Take care of you.
