Just Me with Dusty Attic

 Good morning how are you? I am here today to share with you this months NEW Dusty Attic Moodboard challenge. 

This one I created with on retreat... remember I had a goal of 10 or more layouts... well I managed 9 layouts, one layout took me 5 hrs to bling so I might have zoned out a little but thats ok, thats the point of retreat, to have fun and just be with amazing like minded people right?

To start this layout I used a cut file as a base and then worked around it with my photos and Dusty Attic Chipboard Elements.

By mounting the cut file on some foam tape you can make your chipboard title float over your fussy cut elements and rhinestones by only gluing small points that touch in the file.

With the Dusty Attic Sun it can be added under the small waves of the cut file.

The Dusty Attic Maiden Hair Fern can be cut into small parts so you can get two pieces, also it adds to the movement off the layout.

All you need to do is add your take of the challenge into the comments section on the Dusty FANattics Facebook page HERE for your chance to win one of two amazing $50 Credits to choose any. 

Good Luck and have fun creating.

   So heres a process video so you can follow along if you want to recreate this layout:

When looking at papers like this I like to see if halving the pattern will help it be less complicated.....

I know fussy cutting doesnt seem to be less complicated but it can help you add a smaller portion of details to a simpler background.

Remember a great pair of scissors and a scapula are you best friends

A great washi tape can add an informal board to the bottom of the page and adding a little chipboard title can act as a journal strip.

Adding simple embellishments like there's Uniquely Creative Stars help add some interest without over whelming the page.
