Happy New Year to everyone, wishing you all a great 2015 and heaps of creative mojo.
Last year bought a NEW Website with the ability to buy directly online, and also purchase gift cards
DUSTY ATTIC STORE
You can see all the new designs as they come out at the website and keep up to date with your chippy, paint and flower stash !
Our wonderfully talented Design Team 2014 had some Ahhh.MAZZZING projects that they shared all year on this blog and on their own personal blogs.
And Dusty Attic are now on Instagram and of corse Pinterest.
YET we still have some changes for 2015

Next up with inspiration from the Mood Board is
LIZZY HILL
Hullo my scrappy friends! Well, it’s a new year & a new team & my first take on the DUSTY ATTIC CHALLENGE for January.
As well as this, you need to use DUSTY ATTIC chippy on your LO. I took the idea of the wharf rather literally, using wood grain bg paper [Kaisercraft]…then added my own sun rays with a mask – picking up the colours from the sunrise.
Remember! The Mood Board is for inspiration – you can interpret it however you wish:)
And here’s my finished A4 sized LO:
I’ve had a great time with the chippy. I actually thought these were rushes…apparently they’re lavender chippy…but I ‘worked’ it as a water plant!!!
So, how did I do use my Dusty Attic chippy? Firstly as a stencil & drew in behind my cluster, then heat embossed. In gold. Of course!!
Some of the lavender stalks I dry embossed with my Big Shot.
The circles behind the photo have also been heat embossed with gold…there’s a bit of gold all over the show.
Not that that will surprise you:)
I chopped up one of the DA Elegant Frames…
…then added some distress ink as well as the embossing:
Had a BALL creating the anchor below – it’s a 7 DOTS STUDIO stamp [Destination Unknown] that I initially embossed in navy.
You can see the other circle peeking out from under the photo there, too:
The yummy flair is from my scrappy mate Mitra…..perfect! I even tucked one into the Dusty Attic Flowers cluster:
So, I’m hoping you can get your hands on some DA goodies.
Their shop link is HERE……& join in with the challenge on the side bar of the blog!!
Thanks so much for looking ~ And happy scrapping!
Lizzy ♥♥♥
