"Baby Finch" by Sharmaine Kruijver

 Give me life
Give me colour.

Patterns and colour are something I love
So it makes perfect sense to add both to a page!
It might seem chaotic but go with it.
So let me bring a little order to my creative chaos...

 

 

A touch of colour on this Flutterby Designs wood bit.

 

 

And lots of patterns with two stencils, I {heart} you and Got Letters?

 

Cutting some strips from Everyday Etc cards,
To add colour and pattern to the side of my page.

 

 

Some suitable flair and (my favourite) enamel dots for some more colour.

 

Adding a page tab seemed like a great idea
(in the chaos of my creation)

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sometimes the chaos of creativity just works.
So be creative and make chaos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonderful Little Moments | Krisy Podolak

Hi Flutterby Lovelies,

It's my turn to share on the blog today.  I've put together a mixed media Scrapbooking Layout channelling my inner Anita.  I have splashed around some thick acrylic paint and left it to dry over night.  I then layered everything over the top.

To allow me to use whatever colour scheme I liked, I printed the photos in black and white.  They still capture the moment but don't limit me.

I have used the Everyday Etc cards at mattes behind my main photo and to make a paper cluster.  To bring in the date I used the calendar cards from the Photo Cut outs collection and layered them into the paper cluster.

To highlight the smaller picture I used a wood veneer frame off set to create something a bit more visual.  I then used the wood veneer wonderful over the top to create the title "Wonderful Little Moments." Throw in some Flutterbys Flair, some enamel dots, Tabs and some circle fussy cuts and DONE.

I love that this layout is so fresh and fun and the photos although in black and white stand out and are the focus of the layout.

I have also put together a process video so make sure you head over to Popleopod channel on YouTube and Check it out.

'Talk Nerdy To Me' Pocket Page Layout - by Anita Rodway

Hi there Flutterby lovers!!

I'm back & I wanted to share with you a bit of a spin to

use on your pocket page scrapbooking :)

Paints & mediums aren't JUST for scrapbooking/mixed media!!!

'Talk Nerdy To Me'

For this I have used the NEW Everyday Etc Cards 'Drama Queen' & other

embellishments from Flutterby Designs.

I've also used Colour Blast - Colour Paste over the corner

of a 6x4 photo. The only thing I would say is, if you're impatient
(like me LOL) & hate waiting for stuff to dry...
Just heat carefully with heatgun.

Lots of movement - don't heat one spot for too long ;)

I then flicked a bit of runny gesso over the top.

 

I love using Posca Paint Pens for all my journaling & doodling on my cards/photos

I grabbed my palette knife & used some more Colour Blast - Colour Paste

over this offcut of white cardstock, to use as a photo mat over the Everday Etc card.

I've finished it off with a wood veneer '#happy', Page Tab Cut-out No.145,

& there's something else on there that's coming soon ;)

For a bit more embellishing to a card, I've added a Flutterby

'flair button' (from set No.376)  with some black thread underneath

& a few Enamel dots to finish.

I've used more Colour Blast - Colour Paste again through

the Flutterby 'Words Of Wisdom' stencil. I like to give it a quick dry ASAP,

so that the medium tightens up for a crisp image & doesn't sort of relax

(hope that makes sense)

I also used Colour Blast - Colour Shimmer Spray, to flick bits onto the 6x4 card.

Behind the photos I have used an off cut of an Everday Etc Card &

a Page Tab Cut-out No.145

Thanks for popping by

'The Memories Begin' by Lauren Hender

Hi Everyone!

I know this will sound funny but sometimes there

is just that one embellishment you fall in love with.

For me this whole layout was created around
this beautiful Flutterby flair.
Look at it! I love it and it's been sitting in my stash
for so long waiting for the perfect layout.

So instead of waiting I create made a layout perfect for it.

'The Memories Begin'

This layout highlights a photo taken at my engagement photo shoot. Daniel and I had a wonderful day capturing this and many other moments. Although this was several years ago I love to pull out old photos and enjoy putting a layout together remembering special moments.

I hope this layout inspires you to pull out that one embellishment you have been saving and create with it.

"House Picnic '16" by Sharmaine Kruijver

Sometimes things get a little crazy around here.
It's always easier to go with it than fight it!

My top tips for getting through the crazy...
Some stencilling with texture paste.

 

Ripping some Everyday Etc cards.

 

Or find some calm by painting wood bits.

Or stamp on some Fussy Cut circles.

 

Yep, call me weird
But it's the way life is.

 

And that's ok by me!
