Hi my name is Mel Connell. I’m from the hometown of Dusty Attic, Perth, and have lived here all my life. I am 36, have been with my partner Lawley for 17 years now, and have two kitties, Olive and Scarlett.
I am so very excited to have been asked to to the Guest DT spot for April at Dusty Attic. I just love this product. It’s a staple in my scrapbooking adventures and love using it as much as I can.
I teach and am on the Design Team at Tomorrows Memories here in Perth
(where you can buy your very own Dusty Attic chipboard products).
I also have my own creative business called
I got a tad excited and made a bunch of layouts and an OTP to show you. I hope you like them. Be sure to stop by the Dusty Attic Ning, there is always plenty of inspiration, challenges, and chatting going on over there!
