Happy Tuesday!

A bit of  'fan girl' layout today featuring none other than Jon Bon Jovi! I have been a big Bon Jovi fan since 1986 and went to their first Australian concert on the 14th Sept 1987 (yes I'm that old!!). It's so awesome they they still tour and that Jon Bon Jovi still a bit of babe, even after 32 years later.

For this layout I've taken a white piece of cardstock and you guessed it - my trusty brayer with my Flutter Colour paint - using a rainbow of colours. On the black piece of card, I've splattered these colours across this section.

Inspired by the triangular shapes on the 12 x 12 paper 'Gratitude' from the 'We Are', I've actually cut out a diamond background using my Siloutette Cameo. I'm still have my 'L' plates when using my Cameo but really liked how this turned out and I've used the excess pieces as embellishments on top.

Before I attached my cameo cut background I've added a small detail of texture paste through the 'Song for Another Time' Stencil.The little blue Emoji's are cut out from the Every day Filler Cards - We Are collection.

I've added some White Tiny Sticky Qutoes to my stars and cut some Photo Page Tabs from a couple of older collections. This was also the case for the Saturday banner. The Flair Button is from 'Mad About You' Set 2 and the 'Awesome' title is from Die Cuts Bibs and Bobs.

Thanks for take a peek, make sure you all ready for the 'go live' of the new realease TONIGHT at 8pm. Don't miss this release it is very fun!

Good Vibes Only | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout 

using a mix of Flutterby collections.

 

I created my background using some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish, 

applied with a dry brush. I then added some coloured modelling paste 

through a Mmm Pie stencil. In typical me fashion though, 

I ended up covering up most of my background with all of the fab layers 

under my photo ( you can just see a bit of the stencil 

poking out of the bottom of the layers!)

I used various Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo from the 

'Good Vibes Only' and 'We Are' collections.

For my title I used a sticker from the Good Vibes Only Sticky Quotes, 

matted with orange cardstock. I then added a layer of cardboard to bring it up off the page.

I also scattered some 'We Are' Sticky Quotes , some BRIGHT Snippet Strips, 

as well as some enamel dots around my page.

 

I added some Little Birdie flowers, a heart from Charm's Creations, a page tab, a ticket, flair button 

and the cassette from the 'Good Vibes Only' Die Cut Bits and Bobs pack in my embellie clusters.

Keep your eyes peeled in a couple of days for
 the release of the newest collection 'Magical AF'!

Thanks for looking

Be Bold, Be Awesome, Be Brave | Tamara Buckler

Helllooo Peeps,

I'm up again to share with you another fun layout featuring the 'We Are' collection, as well as some other awesome bits and pieces. This one is nice and bright, with a heap of impact, seems to be how I roll at the moment!

I have used the 'I'll keep you' paper from the 12x12 paper pack as my background, and have added some white gesso to the centre of the page to soften what is a very bright and busy pattern. This allowed me somewhere to work with my mixed media, and other elements.

I created some very bold paint stripes using Black Mayhem Flutter Colour Paint and a dry brush. I then added some texture by using the Little Big Love stencil and some texture paste, and by adding some plasterers tape.

I layered up my photos using some Everyday Etc Cards from the 'We Are' Collection. I tucked both my photos into a Photo Cut Out, this helped to ground my photos and I was able to work this into my title.

I used some wood veneer words from my stash, and painted them with the black Flutter Colour Paint, to complete my title.

I finished off the page by adding in some Flutterby Flair Buttons, various stickers, and enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by again today, and I hope you feel inspired to create something using the amazing 'We Are' collection!

Big Loves,
Tam xo

Kick A$# My Boy-Chrissi Mannix

Hi Lovelies, Chrissi back today sharing a Project Life insert from my 2018 album.

The thing I love most about the Flutterby Designs Collections, is the attitude. I love how Anita infuses this kick ass attitude with such awesome designs, and that attitude is just perfect for this awesome experience we had last year.

As I was going through the Xtreme Teen Every Day Etc cards, I was seeing some awesome quotes and icons that were perfect for my sons District Cross Country insert I was doing in my project life album.

 In 2018, my son had an amazing experience in school sports and athletics due to the Athletes with Disabilities program, meaning he competed against other athletes with similar challenges as himself, instead of other boys his own age, that he cant quite keep up with. So this meant, for the first time, he actually went through to the district carnival. Which was such a big thing for him. It was an amazing experience. 

This card here, from the Every Day Etc cards was my favorite and probably the reason I chose this collection for this spread lol. It sums it up pretty perfectly. 

Honestly, usually I'm not a frame person. I tend to struggle with them, but this one from the Photo Cut Outs sheet was too perfect to use on this photo. It highlights my boy and works with all the open space I have in the photo. I was happy to be able to use one lol. The veneer from the wood veneer bits pack was just perfect to embellish  my layout. I love the raw wood, and how it works, especially when working with 'boy' layouts.

I love how this Project Life Insert came together, and how perfect this collection was for it. I hope you enjoyed my project, and cant wait to share some new projects with you real soon.

Cool as Bro || Elisa Ablett

Hi Flutterby Fans,

Elisa here from the design team with my latest project for Flutterby Designs, a mixed media boy layout featuring a monochromatic palette plus the colour teal! 

Who else is a teal fan?

With this layout I started with spraying teal colour through the Star Stencil, letting that dry completely before adding black ink elements by smoothing black ink through the He Said She Said Stencil and the Got Letters stencil.

Then adding some funky distressed stamping with Viva Las Vegas Stamps.

Though I think the winner in my eyes is the monochromatic everyday filler cards of the 'Blank Pallete' collection. Perfect to match with any colour/s and looks fab with wood veneer (speech bubbles).

Here are the close ups !

Thanks for stopping by the blog today,

Make sure you pop on by the Inspiration page to say hi!

Family | Allara Bamforth

Good Morning,

I'm back on the blog today with a lovely photo of my parents and their five grandchildren taken at Xmas. The 'We Are' collection was perfect to co-ordinate with this photo but this time

I have created my own back ground using Flutter Colour Paints - Sunshine Yellow, Green Limousine and Grape soda with my trusty brayer.

In the top left and bottom right corners of my page I have used to co-ordinating colours of oxide ink with the 'Aloha' stencil to match the gorgours flower in the bottom right of my photo that you can see in the pic above.

I created a focal point for my photo by adding a painted circle in the middle of my page with some white and black Flutter Colour paints.  My photo is matted with Everyday Etc Filler Cards from the We Are collection and I have cut the title with from Everyday Etc Cards.

 I've added some We Are collection Sticky Quotes and some Tiny Sticky quotes. The page tabs are from another previous collection but co-ordinated nicely with the colour pallette. Finished off the page with Flair Button from We Are and some Neon Enamel Dots. I also added just some script stamping for interest.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Till next post,

Nice Normal Family | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today.

For my share today I have used a mash-up of different Flutterby collections, 

but the beauty of Anita's style means that all the collections 

can be used so well together.

I have fussy cut a quote from a 'We Are' Everyday Etc card for my title.

I have layered several Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo - I have used some 

'Fair Dinkum Chrissy' Everyday Etc filler cards as it was a photo from Christmas day, 

and an Everyday Etc filler card 

from the 'Good Vibes Only' collection to match my dress.

I fussy cut a 'this is us' frame and added a flair button and page tab.

I added some Die Cut Bits and Bobs from 'Fair Dinkum Chrissy' and 'We Are'. 

I finished off the page with some ink splatters, doodling and some enamel dots.

 

Thanks for looking
