Go Sarah Go by Kylie Cornish

I'm back! its my turn again!

WOW hasn't the work by the girls been amazing so far...See I said I felt very lucky to been on a DT team with such talented ladies and there is still more to come.

What is your thought process to creating a layout??

Do you grab the embellishments first or the Photo/Photos?

I normally grab the photo/s firsts and then the embellishments next. 

The one great thing with Flutterby Designs, is that there are a great variety of embellishment to use and in my awesome Flutterby stash I can grab the embellishments I need straight away.  

I truly love using the 6x4" Photo Cut Outs with Matt finish. These are great for adding layers to your scrapbook layouts without the bulk. Just cut them out with scissors.  

Every Flair you purchase from Flutterby Designs is hand made. 

1.5mm thick Baltic Birch Veneer  is what the wood bits are made from and all of the designs are EXCLUSIVE to Flutterby Designs.

Flutterby Design Products used on this layout are.

Photo Cut No.90

1" Flair Buttons 6 No 71

WOOD BITS - Wood Veneers 9  Confetti Circles

So I personally believe no mater what project you are making, Flutterby will have what you are looking for. 

I really look forward to sharing my next creation with you all.

Happy scrapping 

'Super Star Everyday' By Lauren Hender

Oh my goodness.. It is 2016 and I am sharing my first DT project for the year.

I am so excited about the year ahead. I hope you all are too.

Flutterby Flairs, Chipboard, photo tabs and everyday etc cards have come together in this layout to celebrate my beautiful boy graduating year 6 and on to high school.

I used lots of layers to create one main cluster and a small cluster section.

Be confident with your journaling. It is important to share the memories and showcase your hand writing.

I hope your new year is fabulous and your hopes for 2016 come true.

Goodbye 2015 by Sharmaine Kruijver

Hi-dee-ho Flutterbyers.

Hope your 2016 has started out a-ok.

Have you made grand plans for the year or are you like me...
just waiting to see how it unfolds?

There are exciting things happening here at Flutterby with Anita already
sneaking us little peeks of what new releases there are for this month.

What have you seen so far?

What are you excited about?

What are you hoping she might have up her sleeve for the year??

I wanted to share with you my favourite techniques used to create a page,
celebrating the end of 2015.
(As seen in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine Vol 19 No.6)

Altering wood veneer, in particular Flutterby Designs wood bits, is one of my all time faves. 

 

It's as easy as adding some nail polish or as mess free as a sharpie pen.

I also used some wood bits to add some height to some Flutterby Designs enamel dots

See the whole circles? The extra bits from the middle of the circles (found HERE)?
I just placed an enamel dot on top, an adhesive dot underneath and... job done!

Make sure you check out the Facebook group for more info on the new releases
and other Flutterby Design news.
Have a creative 2016 everyone.

Cuppa by Kylie Cornish

Hello Flutterby Designs lovers! 

Kylie here today with my first Design Team share!! 

First of the rank as they say. 

I am totally thrilled to be a part of this awesome team and I look forward to working with Anita and the girls sharing amazing products, that are a must have in any scrapbookers stash.

One of my most favourite items in store would have to be the abundance of Flair! 

With this layout I used the No. 198  flair. The black and white couple themed was perfect for this layout about hubby and I stopping for a coffee on our weekend away. 

I also loved the matching wooden bits that accompanied the flair perfectly.

Other Flutterby Designs products used on this layout are:

Words of Wisdom Stencil

6x4" Photo Cut Outs No. 90

I really look forward to sharing my next creation with you all.

Happy scrapping 

Introducing our NEW DESIGN Team

I am super duper thrilled & feel very privileged that

these awesomely talented chicks are now apart of the Flutterby family! I cannot wait to see what they create

& work alongside them.

Here is a little bit about our team :)

KRISY PODOLAK
My name is Krisy, I'm 32 and from Brisbane, Queensland. I am a mum to Poppy (almost 3), Leo (almost 2) and Autumn (9 mths). I am a scrapbooker from my teenage years before it was ever an actual thing. I love taking photos and Art Journaling. I am a list person although the you won't see me joining any 30 day of lists challenges. I do it to get things done! My Scrapbooking style is Eclectic. My mood energy levels influence my work rather than a particular teams. I love mixed media and 99% of my layouts incorporate some sort of messy element.My Blog: https://popleopod.wordpress.com/
                              

KYLIE CORNISH
Hi my name is Kylie Cornish. I am a mother of 4 (two boys and two girls) and a wife of 1, a pet owner of 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 rabbit, which all make great subject matter to scrap.

I live in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania and I have been a scrapbooker / crafter 10 years and this would be the only hobby I have ever stuck with my entire 42 years on this awesome planet.

SHARMAINE KRUIJVER
I’m Sharmaine, married to Dave (who keeps me sane) and Mum to 4 girls (who push me closer to insanity). I work as a Teacher’s Aide, alongside kids with special needs. This all pretty much means my days are not usually my own. When life gives me a moment I use it to breathe and scrap. I like to capture life moments with words and pictures and feel that stories are an important way for us to remember and connect. I feel honoured to be part of the Flutterby Designs team, as I have been watching Anita’s dream grow since she started and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.

Hi, My name is Lauren Hender and I live on the beautiful mid north coast of NSW, Taree, Australia. I am mother of two, cool step mum to one and working full time in community services. Occasionally I find time to be crafty and little time
to share with you.

"So you know you're an artist if you go through a glue stick faster than a lipstick!? Well that's me!! Hello, I'm Anita. Graphic Designer / Full-time mummy to one boisterous 3yr old boy & a beautiful baby girl (enjoying every bit of it!!) & married to my best friend, Chris. We live in Tamworth, the country music capital of Australia.

My love of art started at a young age & I had chosen my career path pretty early. I have always loved mixed media & the design process. Never shying away from getting my hands messy. I am lucky enough to say the quote “Do what you love, love what you do” applies to me. I started scrapbooking started about 10yrs ago & I haven't stopped!! I have however since forgotten all the other basics like vacuuming, cooking etc - but we get by LOL. Paper & paint are like therapy to me! It calms me & satisfies my arty desires.  I have made many friends & met some awesomely talented people through scrapbooking, that inspire me everyday. I am truly grateful to have met them all.
