Mood Board Inspiration

Make a Wish – Adri Du Preez

Hello everyone!
Here is my layout inspired by the beautiful May mood board. This is my little grandson on his first birthday.  
Jamesie, here is my message to you.
Today was extra special because you turned one and you spend the day with us. Grandpa, mommy, and I made a huge fuss to make sure you knew how precious you are to us.  It seems like just yesterday, that you were tiny and new. But the best thing of all is your life’s only just begun. You bring so much joy to everyone’s heart.  May every year of your life be filled with joy and happiness.
Here is the mood board.

and here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white gesso.  To colour the chippies I used Americana Acrylic paint in Turquoise Blue, Whispering Turquoise, Baby Blue, Pineapple and Vintage Acrylic paint in Leopold Petrol. These balloon chippies are so cute, I love them. I added a few wordpl@y chippies, my favourite addition to my projects.

The edges of the painted chippies were dry brushed with white acrylic paint.  The polaroid frames are perfect for framing a photo that you want to highlight. Dusty Attic offers a collection of polaroid frames for different occasions. James is pictured here squeezing his cupcake.

As you can see in the photo below, Dusty Attic has a variety of stars.
