"Time Out" by Sharmaine Kruijver

Hi dee ho Flutterheads.

 

Have you had a chance to play with any of the new releases?
Loving the new Flutter Colour Paint and Sticky Snippets, so had to use them on my latest page.

 

I used some a mix of texture paste and AQUAMAIRINE DREAM

I created the background with the ON THE PLUS SIDE stencil.

For my title I used some STORMY GREY paint
To alter some white foam alphas.

 

 

Using some of the STICKY SNIPPETS to add to the story and a splash more colour

 

Finishing it all off with some ENAMEL DOTS

 

 

And FLAIR

 

 

All too perfect and makes me wish for more time out!
Have a great week

 

 
 
 

Art Makes Me Happy by Kylie Cornish

April all ready!

I hope the Easter Bunny was kind to you all and that you all had a wonderful Easter break.

My awesome DT kit arrived the other day and I just couldn't wait to get stuck into it!

Ya! too the Easter long weekend. 

Art Makes Me Happy 

Have you seen the new Flutter Colour Paints?? 

I was lucky to have two sent in my DT pack and oh what fun I had!

Totally loving the new Snippet Strips.

I like to use ink pads to colour my Wood Bits. 

I love the finishing touches the Enamel Dots give and that pop of colour!

 Photo cut frames don't just have to be used to frame a photo, why not add one to layers to give more depth.

 And who doesn't love a cluster of Embellishments!

I used Wood Bits Circle, Feather, Star and of course the perfect newly released Flair to finish off this little cluster. 

Other products used on this layout where two stencils I love to bits

Random Blathering and Confetti Cubes 

And there you have it a layout about a new journey I am taking this year.

Happy creating!

'Hello You' by Anita Rodway

Helloooooooo!!

It's my turn back on the blog & I've got a got a

little layout that I adore. Much like with my usual style -

well let's say 99% of them LOL, it's minimal, but big bold colours. 

I LOVE creating my own backgrounds,

& I really don't use patterned paper much these days.

Once I am happy with where my background is at,

I hate to cover all that painty awesomeness

up with photos/paper/embellishments... 

Here is a layout I created using our new

'Flutter Colour Paints'...

'HELLO YOU'

Here are some close ups

I started with putting down some soft, but

subtle watercolour tones.

I then went in with a Flutterby Stencil 'I {heart} You'

& some glass bead gel medium. I added nothing else

to this, as I wanted it to add another dimention of texture,

but not to take away from the focal points.

Next I've 'dribbled' over & flicked on some

Flutter Colour paint & allowed it to dry.

I worked out how I wanted the layering of my

embellishments to be. I've used some

Everyday Etc Filler Cards 'Wild Bohemian',

Fussy cut 'Circles', Wood Veneers 'Circles',

'Abstract 2' & 'Hello You Circle'.

I put down 'nests' of black cotton thread to add

some interest. To finish off, I added a Flair Button

from set no.381 & Enamel Dots. I painted the wording

on the wood veneer, to make it 'pop' a little.

And in my true style - grabbed my trusty black pens,

to add some doodling & small details.

I LOOOOOOVE how much texture this layout has!!

Thanks so much for popping by & take a look :)

Love and Forever by Lauren Hender

Hi Everyone!!

How fabulous is this new Flutterby Designs release! I love it's bold colours and great family phrases.

It's funny though that the layout I was inspired to create using this range is monochromatic.

I hope you like.

It's been six years since Daniel and I had this photo shoot and I still love creating with these photos. They take me back to how I was feeling and doing when I was 30.. and I have to say I miss those days lol.

Products Used: Flutterby Designs, American Crafts, Teresa Collins, Kaiser Crafts and Dylusions.

All Flutterby Designs flairs are to die for.

This TOGETHER one is just too cute!

Hope you are all getting a little creative this Easter long weekend.

Blessings

F&*K EXCUSES | Krisy Podolak WARNING: Explict Language

Today I am sharing my layout I created using the Fuck chipboard.  I am a lady with the mouth of a well educated sailor from way back although I have toned it down a billion times and the F bomb only comes out when I am around adults although there are some days I scream it in my head VERY LOUD.  This chipboard is me to a T.

I decided that I had to use it on a layout that captures a time when I use the word a lot in my head and that is while I am exercising.  I have had three children in three years, a hernia in my belly button that I had repaired last year and stomach muscles that have separated almost as much as Australia has from the European mainland.  I waited to get stuck into my excercise regime so that I didn't cause any further injury and this began for me back in October.  I started off walking for the first four weeks and slowly stepped it up to running 6.7kms every second day.  Running is not something I enjoy but it can be done when I get a chance and gets results.  I realised 3 months in, I hadn't taken any progress shots of myself.  I have started and stopped exercising many times before and always taken progress photos so that I could use them to motivate myself but this time I was too busy to think about it.  This was the first progress photo I took - It is me already down something like 8 kilos.  That is a big number but every single day I have that conversation in my head that tells me to give up, its too hard.  The results are starting to be visible and it is becoming easier.  I have also started Crossfit training and after the first month I can see the changes so FUCK the excuses.  JUST get your arse moving.  Results can only come if you are persistent.

Enough of my life story here is my layout....

I used the Fuck chipboard and the wake up and kick ass repeat and regret nothing flair.  I felt these were made for motivation.

Here are a few close ups.

It may look busy but this was a really simple layout to put together.  Especially because I used all the same collection of papers.

I have also put a process video on my YouTube Channel Popleopod so head over and check it out.  Let me know what you thinks - Thumbs up would be good and subscribe if you'd like to see more process videos.

this month lovely xo

Hi I'm Amy and am so excited and privileged to be a guest designer with Flutterby Designs. I have had a long time and probably indecent crush on Flutterby Designs  in which I am sure I am not alone. I love playing with cutfiles and paper layers to create new fun ways to document my life.

I am a zoo keeper of 2 mini boys and one big handsome boy who keep me nutty and happy ALL of the time. When I do get a moment I am crafting away or working at my local scrapbooking store.

I have just started teaching classes sharing my scrappy knowledge with those you love paper as much as I.
