 MixedDusty Attic Mini Album & MINTAY Collection Paradise 

Remember Me 
by DT Michelle Mohr

WOW, it's Michelle here...what another beautiful day! I actually spent most of my morning in my craft room creating a mini album before heading outside to help my husband with some yard work. For this project, I used a lot of different ink sprays, and had a lot of fun putting this together using the Dusty Attic Mini Album - Nautical chipboard and 12x12 Mintay Papers - Paradise.

MINTAY 12 X 12 COLLECTION PARADISE 

DUSTY ATTIC CHIPBOARD ALBUM - NAUTICAL 

Firstly I covered the chipboard with a vanilla cardstock, then using the Mintay papers chose one from the pattern paper and adhered it on top of the chipboard. Using a craft knife, I cut around the porthole of the chipboard. I then used Manganese Blue archival ink and inked around the edges.

Next I made the inserts, I did these before I created the front cover. The inserts were made with cardstock - vanilla, pink, aqua and yellow, and the Mintay papers - choosing different patterns for each insert. I stuck the Mintay papers on one side of the cardstock.

I then started the cover. Firstly, I sprayed all the bits and pieces from the chipboard pack using Dylusions ink sprays - fresh lime for the grass, vanilla custard for the sunshine word and brown coffee for the anchor. I also used Distress Ink Antique Bronze on the shells. I then sprayed the porthole with Nuvo Nebula Blue. I also used 3 wooden hearts and sprayed these with Dylusions Peony Blush.

I attached mixed media stones using gel medium to the bottom of the album cover. Still using the gel medium, I then added a piece of muslin, using magicals seagrass green powder sprinkled on top and sprayed it to get the multi colour effect.

I fussy cut two birds, a camera and the beach sign from the Mintay papers pack. Placing these on the front of the album cover using stampin up dimensionals. I then continued adding all the chipboard pieces I had coloured earlier.
