Happy Memories {Dusty Attic and Websters Pages}

 

I found this old photo of our dear Mocha (she passed a few years ago), she was a super sweet dog, fiercely protective but did not have a lot of tolerance for children's shinanigans (did I actually use that word? lol!) ....If there were too many kiddies running around like at this summer resort, she would quickly tuck herself under your legs to hide (not the best of things when wearing a skirt!!)  Well, I tried to come up with a good title for this one but my husband finally came up with 'Leg Warmers' which I thought was a good fit :)

 

To make this page I used some papers from Websters Pages 'Postcards from Paris II' and 'A Christmas Story' collection.  I embellished with some new goodies from Dusty Attic designs.  Above you can see the Cyclone Wire fence chippies (I like to cut them up in little bits to use on my pages).

 

 

Another new chipboard design that Dusty Attic just put out is the 'Chevrons' in a variety of sizes.  For mine I first gave them a coat of Gesso, then added a coat of 'Oceania' Dusty in Color Paint and used a white Gel Pen (Signo Unibal) to put some dots on the design.  I finished it by adding a nice thick coat of Dusty Attic Gloss medium.

 

Here is another view of the chippies and floral embellishments.  I first gave the base of the page my own unique background design by starting with a basic soft brocade paper.  I then added some inking on the borders with some Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink applied with a make-up sponge.  I used a Crafters Workshop 6x6 Circle Grid Stencil/Mask and black ink applied with sponge in corners and edges fading in as I go...I dabbed a little of the Broken China with the black ink.  I used a make-up sponge to apply the Broken China ink around the area of my photo/embellishments as well.

 

I also used another couple of stencils on this page with texture paste.  The 6x6 Crafters Workshop 'Ledger' stencil and the Tim Holtz "Measured" stencil (under the photo area).  One of my favourite chippies from Dusty Attic has always been the Vintage Hinges, well now I'm so excited because they have come out with the 'Mini Hinges' as well!  I love them!  Although I used them for a layout here, I can totally see me using them in cards, ATC's and OTP's (of the page projects!).  I dabbed on some copper 3D T-shirt paint and some more of the 'Oceania' Dusty in Color paint to get the above effect.

Scrapbooking Your Pets with NEW Bo Bunny!!

There is something I really love about the color combination of soft grey and butter yellow!  The new Bo Bunny Serenade collection has some gorgeous yellows in it.  I used some of their Double dot paper in the color 'Shadow' to compliment the pretty yellows. 

 

Today we are scrapping about our pets over at the Bo Bunny Blog, so I just had to scrap about our pup Zoe!  As many of you know we lost our dear old pup Mocha to old age a couple of years ago and it took me almost a year before I was ready to take on another little pup.  So just a little over a year ago we went to a Labradoodle breeder to choose a pup for ourselves.  I told my DH and kiddies that this time around the puppy had to be a 'non-shedder'.  We were told that Labradoodles are great for little or no shedding.....well, let me tell ya, they were wrong!!  Our pup sheds a whole little puppyful of fur every day!  You should see the pile of hair I sweep up everyday! Yipes!

 

We were told when we arrived that they had only one more puppy available for purchase from this litter.  We walked in and immediately my eyes were drawn to this adorable little pup sporting this cute little mowhawk hairdo! lol!  I remember thinking, it's too bad we get last pick because this little one is adorable!  The breeder then said, yep! that's the one for you if you choose to keep her!  All I could think was how badly behaved is this one if it is the last one left?  You'd think a little cutie like this one would get picked first!  Well, over the past year we've learned the answer to that question!  Countless ruined shoes, chewed up socks, hats, mitts and even yuk! underwear later, we learned why this little gal was the last one left!  Definitely a mischievious little one!  But she is getting better now that she is a year old and we love her funny quirky personality to pieces!  Here are some close up shots of this page....

I used a bunch of the new Bo Bunny Blooms and crochetted lace for this page as well as some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces (Birdhouses, Fancy Labels, and an Ornate Corner #1 Scroll)
