Goodmorning everyone,

So glad I am here with you on the last day of the month! Are you all enjoying your summer vacation? Today I have a little treat for you. I made a video tutorial my first {so be gentle with me} with a little help of my husband because I don’t know the program we use for video for editing that good well not jet anyways. For this layout I used the always gorgeous “Vintage Autumn Basics” collection plus one of the blue sheets from the “Vintage Baby” collection this time I went for the blues, green & cream papers. I also added some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces on my work with some handmade {dies by Cheery Lynn Designs}, petaloo & dusty attic flowers. It’s so much fun to use all products from the three design teams I am in……it feels like a true blessing.

The blue and green flowers are the ones that I made myself as you will see in the video. The picture is of my little family well without me lol. I was planning on using the background sheet with the blue flowers on it for ages but I always took out the pink tones in this paper collection because I always have trouble finding the correct blue toned flowers, but this time it worked out very well because I made my own flowers.

Here is my tutorial:

Hope you liked my video and I think I am hooked now but I still have to figure out a lot on how to make it better because on this video you don’t see things because I am working out of the screen sometimes.

As you see here I used some different stencils one with the flowers and one with the text! I really enjoy using mixed media on my layouts. I also stamped randomly on my papers and used many different Lindy’s sprays. For the coloring of my chipboard I used the dusty attic acrylic paints. Don’t you just love the tabs? They add so much to your layout.

On the arrow with feathers underneath my picture I used some treat and some metal gems to make it prettier. I painted that particular pieces with some dusty attic acrylic paint but also with the rust paste set by Finnabair oh boy how I love that stuff. To make my layout complete added some clocks from the same collection I used here.

Maja Design papers used: From the Vintage Autumn Basics collection: no.XXII, no.XXI BS, no.XXII BS, no.VII BS, no.XVI, no.XIX BS, no.XXIII BS and from the Vintage Baby collection: Special Delivery bs.

Thanks for being here with us today and I hope you will visit my blog later today since it’s the last day to enter ==> “HERE” <== for your chance at winning the gorgeous “Summertime” collection…..have a lovely week everyone!
