Such a sweet, pretty photo of Katelyn. I had two copies of this photo, so I 3'd it.I added the journaling to the right side of the photo, then a DUSTY ATTIC iron trim.

 I have been waiting sooooooooooooo long for these spellbinder dolls. Thank you DONNA SALAZAR for bringing them out for us to play with. We are all still, little girls at heart.....

The puzzle and one of the Cherry Lynn butterfly's

 The Magnolia die cuts, flowers and butterflies

The letters ' at' are, the DUSTY ATTIC Bookman abc's touched up with gesso and Glimmer Mist

The letters PLAY are from the DONNA SALAZAR die MIX'd Media Play Time.

I used the neg. from the Bookman ABC's letter plate. I first used it as a mask for another project them sprayed it with Glimmer Mist. Another look at those paper dolls.

 The journaling.

"" IMAGINE A DREAM MADE FROM A DREAM""

All these gorgeous flowers or 'blooms'.

Finished with gesso to give the white washed look....so romantic! The leaves sand u nicely. The core paper is fantastic for this romantic vintage look.

Another few close ups of the flowers. 

The die set has three sizes of flowers. Just great for the flower junkies like me! They also have the leaves in the set...and they can be embossed. Great for the core paper.

The Memory Makers GATE. These dies are so fine..LOVE them! 

They can add interesting details to any LO with out taking it over. A new item at SCRAPDELIGHT

I might add, as usual all items can b purchased at Scrapdelight

 Another quiz at the LO before signing off.

Well thats the sketch for the DUSTY ATTIC APRIL SKETCH 2012.

My DTG for APRIL is coming to a end. One really positive thing about it is....I have really pulled finger out and done a lot of posting this month.....sorry I can not do this every month, my DH will not be very happy with the scrapping world, and I also have a lot going on in my life other than my post. Funny that?

Hopefully I can get some ATC's I am working on up stairs in my LAB. Just got to get some DA and flowers on to them....So far I am excited about them.

Scrappy hugs and have a good one   .....   Love Susan

OXOXOOOOO

I was showing Debbie this new paper, of course shearing with her all the new goodies that came from the CHA a while ago. Debbie had the perfect photo for the paper...so I did not have to search for a match

 You can see the wood pise used as a backing for the title. The Dusty Attic post stamp frame is tucked under, then attached with the staple gun. Those mini staples are perfect!

The back ground paper have been worked with gesso and chalk, with the use of the wood mask.

 A close up of the twine used to attach the tags. See those cut little staples again.

 See how Justin has been stamped and framed! Makes him pop even more!
