"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!

Art Journal by Kylie Cornish

You know when you're asked a question like

"What would be one of your favourite products from Flutterby Designs?"

I would answer with

"oh that's a hard one, there are so many amazing products....are you serious!!"

But if you asked me "What would be one of your go to product from Flutterby Designs"

I would say "Stencils Stencils Stencils"

The designs are awesome, the quality of them is fantastic and the size is great!

I have just recently started a new art journal for 2016 and of course one of my go to products while creating in it would be my Flutterby Stencils.

Life is TOO Important to be taken SERIOUS | Krisy Podolak

Hi Flutterby Lovelies,

It's Krisy back again for my second share this month. Today, I'm sharing a Scrapbooking Layout using the New Everyday Etc " Drama Queen" Cards as the main inspiration.

I have had this photo of my daughter printed for just about a year and were just waiting for the right layout for it. Every parent has a photo like this I think. It is also popular as a lock screen on an iPhone. When I saw the "Life is too Important to be taken Serious" card, I knew it was the right time to use this photo.

The background I was inspired by the cut circles from the Wild Bohemian Kit and created a bubble background using watercolours to start with but I found that they didn't pop as much as I wanted to I layered them with Gelatos and then some texture paste through the "You spin me Right Round" Stencil.

I used the same stencil on the background with a light spray of Shimmer mist. It creates another layer to the background although in the photos it looks a bit dirty when in actual real life it is shiny silver.

The wood veneer in the kit is pretty awesome too, I definitely need more. You can order these on their own too just have a look here. I also used a DIY flair but I decided to keep it plain so that it popped out against the busy background. To add some more circles to the layout I threw in a few Enamel dots.

There is no process video today...I did have one but I thought I had downloaded it off the camera and cleared it to work on the next layout. It turns out I only thought I did and it couldn't be retrieved. But I'll make sure there is one next time I share.

FEBURARY GUEST DESIGNER - SUE PLUMB

Our second Guest Designer for the year is the none other than

the gorgeous, Sue Plumb! Sue & I have never met IRL, but I know

that we would hit it off straight away! We both have a cheeky streak that

shines thru (even online LOL) I have been a fan of Sue's work for many year's

& was ecstatic she said yes to Guest Designing for Flutterby.

Sue Plumb

"I am a SAHM of three (daughter Brielle, 7 and twin sons Hunter and Kaden, 3) and live in the gorgeous Glass House Mountains in Queensland.
I have been scrapping for approximately 7 years, having started after the birth of my daughter. I took an extended break after the premature arrival of my boys, and these days my biggest scrapping struggle is trying to find time with two rowdy boys underfoot!
I currently design for Australian manufacturer Cocoa Vanilla Studio (online store), D-Lish Scraps (online store), Scrap the Boys challenge blog, and Show Us Your Stuff challenge blog. I have also had work published regularly in Scrapbooking Memories magazine. I recently started working part-time at my local scrap shop Joybells Scrapbooking, which also gives me opportunity to create as well as providing some much needed time out of home.
My style can best be described as varied - sometimes it may be clean and linear, and at other times messy and eclectic. What can I say? I like to keep things interesting!

I am so thrilled that Anita asked me be a guest designer for Flutterby Designs, as I have been a fan of her products since the very beginning! I hope I can inspire you with what I have created."
