OUR NEWEST DT MEMBER - LISA WEBB!!!

Newest addition to our Design Team is...

The talented project life guru LISA WEBB!!!!!

I'm so excited that lovely lady is joining the Flutterby team & will be sharing

some awesome inspiration with us all!!

A few words from Lisa:

"Im so excited to be part of the Design Team here @ Flutterbys..

As you all may know I am in love with Flairs.. they are the cutest thing

out along side of wood veneers and cameras, oh and stars.. oh and hearts.
I started Project Life January 2013 and have been totally hooked since.

I love the concept of documenting the daily grind warts and all.

I love to be creative but I also love to document more than one photo

like I did with 12x12 pages.  To me it is a creative diary I can keep forever

and love to share with my family.
I have a very supportive husband and son who is always keen

to pull faces for me.  I scrap most nights from 8.30 - midnight.

I get my second wind at night time and could keep going if I could til

early hours of the morning..  I love photography, but very new at my

Canon EOS 600D.. But I will get there.. Practice practice…!!
I can’t wait to share my work with you all here..."

Stayed tuned, as I have some GORGEOUS project life

layouts from Lisa to share :)

AUGUST GUEST DESIGNERS - COLIE KUMAR & CHARMANE KOCH

Our fabulous Guest DT for this month are:

Charmane Koch (AUS) & Colie Kumar (US)

Charmane Koch

Hello! My name is Charmane Koch and I am a Scrap-A-Holic! I live in the gorgeous Adelaide Hills in South Australia along with my little family - my partner Ashan, my son Chei and my daughters Harmony & Ryarne. My scrapbooking obsession began two months after my son was born it's been 10 years now! - starting with his milestones and then growing into scrapping about everything! I have been on numerous Design & Creative Teams - Wholesale, Kit clubs & challenge blogs - currently I am designing for Scrap the Girls & Scrap the Boys! I also have a little handmade scrapbooking business called Charms Creations, which also keeps me very busy!
I am so excited at being a guest designer for Flutterby Designs and

can't wait to show you my creations.

You can see more of Charm's work HERE.

Colie Kumar

What can I say about myself? I have had a life long passion for anything and everything creative which has led me down several paths, but I have finally crash landed in scrapbooking and Project Life. I started scrapping when I was 11 when all that was available was Creative Memories. When I came back to it in my early twenties, I was amazed to see how much had changed! I love the versatility and ease of modern scrapbooking (especially Project Life) and the ability to be as simple or as complicated as you want! Located in Cincinnati, OH now, but I grew up in Minnesota, a true Midwestern girl! I have had as many college majors as I think they let you have and I am still not done. I am excited to be finally finishing up with my bachelors and masters all in the span of two years!! Oh, plus I am a mom to a really cool 18 month old named Voss.

You can see more of Colie's work HERE.

A HUGE thank you to both the girls for

showcasing Flutterby Designs this month!!!

I can't wait to show you who next month's Guest DT is....

JULY GUEST DESIGNER - LOUISE NELSON

It's with great honor & a humbled heart, that I can now tell you all that the
very talented (& very lovely) Louise Nelson is our Guest Designer this month!!

If you have been living under a rock & don't know anything about this lovely lady,
here is a few words from Lou about herself...

"I create because it helps to balance out the day to day stresses of my profession, and it satisfies my arty yearnings. I have always had creative hobbies, before taking up scrapbooking 6 years ago I loved to restore furniture. Since I have started scrapbooking I have also devloped a love for portrait photography, and more recently I have begun to dabble in painting. During the last 6 years I have been fortunate to have been a Creative Design Team member for Scrapbooking Memories Magazine in 2009 and a Scrapbooking Memories Master for 2012. Also fortunate to be invited to be on the Creative Design Team for UK based scrapbooking magazine; Scrap365. Currently I create for Prima Marketing, Jenni Bowlin Studio, Imaginarium Designs. I have been blessed to be regularly published in Scrapbooking Memories, and have also been featured in the last 4 editions of Somerset Memories, with technique articles and layouts in the reader gallery.I have been told that I have a creative style that is; Unique, deceptively simple, and arty! I am honoured to be guest designing for the amazing team at Flutterby Designs, and cant wait to share with you my scrappy passion."

'You + Me'

In true Louise style, this layout is SPECTACULAR!!!
Louise has used the Wood Bits 'You+Me' title & Square Frame, one of our mixed media Flair Buttons & a Fussy Cut from the 'Hello' set (which is cut up in the under layers - it looks awesome!).

'Wonderful Life'

Here is another layout that is just full of awesomeness (yes, it's a word LOL).
I haven't taken the 'gold' plunge myself, but Louise's layout looks
simply STUNNING on that black background!!
She has used Flutterby Wood Bits - Square frame, 'Wonderful' title & Feathers,
Flair button & a 3x4 Fussy Cut.

A BIG shout to Louise for Guesting this month & sharing her talent with us.
I am a massive fan of Lou's work, as I'm sure a lot of you are too To check out more
