He's Got Swagger

Hi there,

Today I am sharing a layout created for Funky Flairs Studio using the awesome Wild One flair set.

I created my background with Dina Wakley paint in Night and then added a little stencilling with a crackle stencil and Dylusions paint in White Linen.

I stamped my background with my fresh out of the packet Dina Wakley stamp set Grungy Stars. I think I might have a new fave. Love stars for boy pages. I added a bit of extra stamping with an old Kaisercraft grid stamp.

I also added some gyprock tape and washi tape to my background for extra texture and interest. Next up I created some paper layers around my photo using Shimelle's Go Now Go collection and a newsprint tag from American crafts. 

And then it was time to embellish.

I have used:

Potty People and tab wood veneer from Studio Calico
Star wood veneer from Flutterby Designs
Word strips and letter stickers from Flutterby Designs
Denim star embellishment from Charms Creations
Enamel stars from Shimelle, American Crafts
Black Enamel thickers from American Crafts
and of course two awesome flairs from Funky Flairs Studio

White with 1 - Gerbera Petal

Welcome to May.

We have a very pretty colour this month at White with 1:

Now to be honest, I did struggle to find this gorgeous corally pink in my scrapbook stash but I found a couple of older papers from a paper pad.

I used my silhouette to cut some butterflies in various sizes to flutter off my page. I added sme tissue paper and a doily for some softness. I also used a Heidi Swapp Colorshine spray in coral for some splatters.

I also added a sweet flair badge from Funky Flair Studio.

I hope you play along with us this month at White with 1.

Happy creating

Hello Spidey - A layout for Funky Flair Studio

Welcome to a new week scrappy friends.

Today I have a layout for Funky Flair Studio featuring this super cute set of Spider-Man Flairs

They totally inspired my layout. I started with a spiderweb cut file which I used as a stencil with Night paint from Dina Wakely. I then offset the diecut and glued it down.

I added some layers of red and blue patterned papers under my pic including a scrap of a comic style Spider-Man paper.

I layered my flairs on some punched circles and messy white cotton.

This layout was a lot of fun to create. I love this pic of my little guy with his face painted. He was a very serious little Spider-Man.

#Happiness - A rainbow of Colorblast goodies

Hi there Scrappy friends,

Colourblast Australia has a fun challenge again this month to use a rainbow of colour.

Here is my layout created with Colourblast pastes and my favourite Finnabair circle stencil.

Amongst my layers I added in this cute black glitter heart from Charms Creations.

I have added some stamping around the edge of my layout and then mounted it on black cardstock (circle stamp from Studio Calico, grid from Kaisercraft).

The cute star flair is from Funky Flair Studio. The labels and tags came from a cute diecut package from Fancy Pants Joy Parade. The tags and labels pack is jam packed full of goodness.

This challenge was a lot of fun. Are you playing along this month?

My first ever post for Funky Flair Studio - Dreamer

I am so excited to share today my first ever post for Funky Flair Studio as part of the Design Team.

You may have noticed I have been using their Flair and kits for a while so when the lovely Evie (owner of Funky Flair Studio) put up a call for new Design Team members I was quick to send through some samples. When my first package of flair arrived it was happy days indeed.

But enough rambling, here is my share

I have used the gorgeous Indigo Blue Kit from the shop. These kits are limited edition with each release. I loved the gorgeous blues in this kit.

Here is a closer look 

This little silver arrow was just so cute

Thanks for checking out my first DT share.

Don't forget to share your projects using Funky Flair products in the facebook group. I would love to see what you are creating.

Good Times - Scrapbooking Top 50

Hi there,

I am sharing the page I created for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia Challenge for January.

I started with a sheet of Marshmallow heavyweight cardstock that I had previously splattered black paint on. I have a folder of random background I have started that I try and dig into.

Next step was to finally christen  my el cheapo set of watercolours from Big W.  I loved the effect and will be playing with these again soon.

I added some black washi tapes and diecuts from an old Hip Kit that featured lots of Amy Tan. The watercolour look of the diecuts was perfect.

I also used two flair badges from Funky Flair Studio layered on some messy black thread.

  My final step was matting the layout on black and then adding some stitching around the edges.

I love these pics of my Mum with two of her grandies. Special memories from our trip to Pokolbin last year.

Stuck?! Jan 2018 - Photographer

Hey there,

I am playing along with the Stuck?! Challenge this month.

The first sketch of the month was this beauty

Such a fun sketch. And here is my interpretation.

I loved the strip of four photographs and felt like it would be perfect for telling the story of my littlest guy Sam and his love for my big camera.

I dug deep into my stash to pull out the Simple Stories Hello Summer collection that I am determined to finish (still love those gorgeous bright colours with the dark woodgrain).

Finished off with a Flair button from Funky Flair Studio and some camera wood veneers from Amy Tan and Studio Calico.

Flowers...on a boy layout?

Scrap the Boys have challenged us to use flowers on a boy layout this month. I don't usually use flowers on my boy layouts (unless I am in the photo and then its a full on flower bomb) so this was a bit different for me.

My background uses a Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Faded Jeans and I have stencilled some Colour Blast in Steel. I love the splattery (yep that's totally a word) look that you get with oxide inks and water.

I used the Summer Fun kit from Funky Flair Studio adding in some white diecut flowers and leaves layered under my photo.

So what's your opinion? Flowers on a boy layout yes or no?

White with 1 - January 2018

I am so excited to share my first Design Team layout for White with 1.

The January challenge is a mood board featuring the gorgeous Blue Bayou colour.

I was inspired by the stripes and the washed out blue on the pots.

I started with a white-washed woodgrain patterned paper from Kaisercraft. 

I added some misting with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy and then stencilled over the top with texture paste. I added a little more mist and some extra stencilling with an alphabet stencil from

Kaisercraft.

It was looking a little too blue for my liking so I added some splatters of Studio Calico mist in white.

I cut down my background piece slightly before mounting it onto blue cardstock and adding some machine stitching for extra texture and to help frame the layout. I love to rough up the edges of my papers with a distress tool (or my fingernails) for extra interest.

This was a real stash busting layout. I keep my random embellishments, flowers etc in plastic containers sorted by colour, so I grabbed out my blue and white containers and started pulling embellishments I thought would work with this cute photo of Sam with my hubby and myself at his presentation day.

In the mix I have added:

* hand dyed crochet doilies

* cut apart phrases from Flutterby Designs

* flair badge from Funky Flair Studio

* tile word phrase from Lil Davis Designs (am I the only one still holding on to some of these??)

* number sheet from Collections

* diecuts from the Indigo Skies collection from Kaisercraft

* puffy camera sticker from Amy Tangerine

* miscellaneous flowers (the denim one is divine)

* my all time favourite newsprint tags from American Crafts

* and last but not least a white doily.

I added my title with white foam thickers from American Crafts and added my journaling with typed strips. I am lucky enough to have been given an ancient typewriter from my Great Uncle. It is awesome but I will quickly have to figure out where I can get replacement ribbons. Any tips please let know in the comments.

I hope you will play along with us this month at White with 1.

Can't wait to see what you create.

Happy scrapping
