Drama Queen Range.. Check it out!

Hi Everyone!

Today I thought Id share my most recent layout for Flutterby Designs where I've had a dabble with some mixed media moves.

Using the new release 'Drama Queen' range I created this layout to highlight an important milestone - Katie's first netball game..

One thing I love about mixed media is that everything kinds works. Splatters of coloured paint seen to fall perfectly and matched with same free hand journaling .. well it all comes together.

You have got to love the new release chipboard pieces also.. a day of the week and the cutest camera I have used on this layout - two versatile pieces.

I hope this layout inspires you to get a little mixed media messy with the new Drama Queen range!

Family Favourite by Sharmaine Kruijver

Sometimes a little colour is all that you need.
A little monotone or a little not.


Finding the right colours for you page is important
 
 
 
 
As is finding the right words

 
 
But what do you do when you have the right colour but not the right words??
You alter it with stickers!
 
Right words, wrong colour??
Grab your trusty sharpie pen.
 
These Everyday Etc cards were the right words AND colour

And so was this one, which I cut for a better fit.
 
 
So no more excuses.
Look through your supplies
Buy some new ones
And get creating!

Always Be You & Wash Day Blues by Kylie Cornish





Wow its been a month already, and look at the amazing work that has already been posted!

And here I am again to start the new month off with two layouts.

My first layout was inspired by the new 'Everyday Etc' cards Wild Bohemian
The colours and textures inspired me to create my background for this layout. 


Always Be You






Products used :

My second layout was a quick layout I completed on Friday night while it was wet and miserable.
All day Hobart had been hit with thunder and lighting and constant rain, and my thoughts while driving  home from work was .... "here we go again a weekend at the laundry mat getting our washing dry"

Hence why I printed the photo from the last time we had to hit the laundry mat to get all the washing dry.

Wash Day Blues




Products Used:


So there you have it two layouts using the wonderful products from Flutterby Designs.

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

Happy scrapping

January Guest Designer - Marta Łapkowska


Introducing Marta Łapkowska

The lovely Marta & I have been friends on facebook for a few years & I have always 
been amazed by talent. I was THRILLED when Marta agreed to come on board as
to do a Guest Designer spot for Flutterby. She is on quite a few big name DT's,
so I was super nervous watching her create with my products
(the feeling was kind of like watching some else cuddling your newborn
for the first time LOL)
So without any further adieu...

I am currently living in Ireland and have been for the last ten years. My inner soul is truly
a creative person. Since I remember I have loved art and craft and have a passion for innovative techniques. I love playing around, experimenting and creating unique pieces. From cards and tags to layouts, assemblage art, mix media canvases, art journals and altered objects.

Remember 6 - Lauren Hender


Well I have to say Flutterby Designs has done it again creating another fabulous range.

When I saw these photos of my little girl bowling at her 6th birthday party I couldn't wait to get this new range out and start creating.


 With coordinating flairs, chipboard and photo tabs this range means that you can create a complete layout without searching for coordinating extras for your project.
 I just added some splashes of acrylic paint to add an extra
layer to my project.



I hope this layout has inspired you to use Flutterby Designs new released bohemian range.

Just Like Me - A Scrapbooking Layout | Krisy Podolak

Hi Flutterby Lovelies,  
It's Krisy here and it's my turn to share a creation with you.  This is a scrapbooking layout inspired by one of the cards in the new Everyday Etc "Wild Bohemian" photo cards.



I used the card as inspiration for my mixed media background and then used the actual card a a matte for the photo.  This photo is one of my daughter eating cake batter.  This is one of my favourite things to do especially being an adult, no one can tell me not to.  Although my husband just about dry retches at the thought and my mum still tells me not to.  I printed the photo in black and white as the colours clashed with my background and I think it stands out so much more against the background.

There are many layers to the background.  I wanted it to look like the card with paint splatters and a mish mash of colours. It's all about building the layers on top of each other and having the patience for it to dry.  I also used the "Got Letters" Stencil to add extra details. The stencils in the Flutterbys store are fantastic to use and easy to clean. It takes a bit of patience but it turned out fantastic.
 

I finished the layout off with a few details...a flair button from the 149 set and then a cute little ticket that I made into a flag. I also forgot there is a tab thrown in there too,



I've also put together a process video so if you want to see how to build the layers yourself - head on over to my YouTube Channel - Popleopod and check out.
