"The Right Direction"
Posted on | Friday, March 23, 2012 | 3 Comments
Today's post is a layout that is part of 4, for my youngest son's 3rd Birthday party. It was of course, a "Pirate Party" and these photos are some of the gifts he received.
The latest release from Dusty Attic, is where I obtained the Compass Rose from and also the Decorative Scroll #1 which I found to be the perfect frame.
Below are some close-ups and I will be adding the tutorial with explanations and products used at some stage.
And remember Never, Eat, Soggy, Weetbix ;)
...and to keep yourself pointing in the right direction, so as if you get lost, you will get found...
Simply Renee and Dusty Attic Blog Hop
Posted on | Thursday, March 15, 2012 | 60 Comments
Welcome to the Simply Renee and Dusty Attic Blog Hop! We have much inspiration to share with you today! Oh and of course... some fabulous prizes!
Simply Renee manufactures quality products that help you customize your organizational needs. You may be familiar with their Clip it Up products. You can view Simply Renee’s complete product line on their website. They are having an amazing sale right now!
For this blog hop, Simply Renee has teamed up with The Dusty Attic, an Australian owned and operated laser cutting business that designs and manufactures craft items and embellishments. You can view some of these wonderful products as well as beautiful projects by fellow crafters on the Dusty Attic Ning site. As you hop along with us today, you will see inspirational projects made by some of the talented Dusty Girls! Here is the project I created for you using Dusty Attic chipboard embellishments.
Here below is the project that we were asked to create for the "Simply Renee" featured Manufacturer. Simply Renee make those absolutely fantastic one or two tiered clip it up storage solutions (pictured below). I keep mine empty but when I am working on something I will use it to organise the products I will be chosing from for that particular assignment. Our delightful little American princess, not to mention that she is extremely talented, Natasha Narango-Aguire once wrote that her children loved to clip everything back up for her when she was done working, and that alone sold me ;) And you know what, they really do ;) ;)
I have created a double door 12 x 12 inch frame, using the 8 x 8 inch box frame for the inside. It represents the view from my home studio, which is the front garden.
Then on the outside French Doors I have placed photos of my work spaces etc.
Corner Scrolls (large and small) DA#
Ornate Gates (medium) DA#0188
ATC Frame - chipboard (altered) DA#0663
Shadow Box Insert 8 x 8 DA#0512
Birdbath 2pk(small and large) DA#0395
The Dusty Attic have some special storage products of their very own, being the above photographed mini Spritz Bottles DA#0610. They are such a cute size and just perfect for covering one larger piece of chipboard. I have squeezed some paint in firstly then topped up with water.
I would suggest that you give them a wash with detergent once empty and spray the nozzles clear with same.

It seems like I have been away forever and with no mobile phone or internet life is pretty special atm...
...Here is my Design for the Color Pallete No#3...
It is a Tri-Fold layout which is a style that I am loving right now - I can fit so much more in this way!!! I do realize that a number of people would not ever put so much work into their projects as I do, for various understandable reasons, but feel free to use only one or two of the elements for your project and it won't feel so overwhelming. This is quite simply the shabby style that I do so adore - and my feeling is "More is More" (if you know the older version of this, also fantastic, saying;)
First page:
Third page:

If you are wondering why the chaldelier is on the dressing table, I have put it there with the meaning that it is a reflection in the mirror...
If there is anything in particular that you would like to know how I have done or where a product is from you can email me (link on the home page) and I will be only to happy to help. But the three main companies are the fabulous Dusty Attic http://dustyattic.ning.com/ and gorgeous Piony Designs http://shop.textalk.se/en/shop.php?id=12164 and last but definitely not the least, CSI's (color, stories and inspiration) website (extremely good!) http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/

Seriously enjoying this site http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/ and I have a permenant link in the side bar for future reference.
In Life May We All Have;
This layout is one of my favs. I loved making it as I had to keep reading the poem over and over again, which was very theraputic at the time...
here is a close up of the poem...
all of the AMAZING Dusty Attic chipboard really makes it easy to create your own, special and personal works of art... there are a few old faithfuls in there and some sneak peaks of the latest new release (to be released soon lol;) so watch out for them at http://www.dustyattic.ning.com.au/
If I can find the special element of this page I mentioned on the Dusty Attic site I will put it up now otherwise it will be added when I am back from Thailand ;)

About Me - Concise Biography
- Nancy Winter
- My work history is varied and diverse. From the high profile studios of NWS Channel 9, to the exciting aviation industry, I have a resume' with an extensive list of skills and experience.
I reside in sunny Australia.
The main purpose of this blog was that it was started out of necessity but has grown into something I enjoy.
“To Do What You Love, and Feel That It Matters, What Could Be More Fun?”.
I believe this particular industry promotes self esteem in many, whilst being part of a Design Team helps businesses and friends but most of all I love all the fantastic messages that one can give to another through this avenue. It assists me in my endeavour to leave the world a better place… (and as Barbie would say at the beauty pageant "and I wish for world peace";) Hoping that you find some inspiration from my work!
