Dream

So to start off if you feel like your losing it your not!!!! I am back dating some blogging so I can keep track where I am with my projects so sorry if it confuses you but this is the only way I can think to do it. I am going to try and get my 365 going and better than last year. 

And I tend to go through creative bursts, all creating then nothing then I use that time to catch up on blogging....

Dusty Attic January 2021 Mood board Challenge

 Good morning how are you?Well its a New Year !!!  Let me take a moment to wish you all a better year than the last one, lets face it 2020 gave us a lot of questioning moments and I hope that this post finds you well and looking forward to 2021.

So with that in mind I am here with the first challenge of the month and my first official post for Dusty Attic.

Dusty FANattics

  January's Mood Board challenge, use these amazing colours to inspire you to create layouts, cards, whatever you wish and you will be in the running to win one of two amazing Dusty Attic Prize packs. Just add your entry into the comments section below, it's that easy! Just remember to have some Dusty chipboard on your entry. Happy creating and good luck while having fun and watch out over the month for inspiration from our amazing talented team.

You can follow the link above to share what you create based on this months mood board.

Now for my interpetation, this is where I would like to share how I tackle mood boards, so I am always drawn to the colour swatches first, that helps me find what papers/ collections to go for and then I go and pick my Dusty Attic Chipboards and then play around with the design.

You may be asking what about the photo? That is my last choice, I dont match my papers/designs to photos I find that more freeing and creative ...... art first.... photo second = a memory saved.

Dusty Attic Moons #1 – by Nuneka,Feathers – by Nuneka,

One Of A Kind, 9& Market Intage Artisty Wedgewood,

So I was inspired by the Moon who wouldnt be right? Once seeing it I knew that the feathers where the perfect feature to add to this to make it like a dream catcher.... and to weave through the diecut flowers from 49 & Market.

 Good morning, how are you? Well we made it, maybe a little battle worn our amours might need some work but thats ok 2020 isnt going out quietly but I think there are some positives with the world and rather than look at the negative it has taught us to be grateful and to realise that we need to work together......

 Good afternoon how are you going? I am popping in quickly to share another layout created with the amazing 49& Market Intage Artisty Wedgewoodand some vemum Butterflies from hmm I wish I remembered what collection it was from. 

This weekend we are celebrating our Christmas with the traditional sit down dinner the joys for fifo life I suppose but I must say its awesome that we miss the mad supermarket rush with 100s of people.

Everyday Moments

 Good morning how are you? On the countdown to Christmas? Organised or not really? Myself I am feeling comfortable theres still a few things to do but its manageable which is nice  its a pretty low key thing here which is becoming the new norm with hubby being fifo, so we have an altered schedule. So that means I will no doubt found some creative time which means I am still adding to the the 365 tally....

 I have to say I might not make it but I have so far smashed last years record of 202.....
