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.

Rediscover your stash - Week 3 Sketch "Sail Away"

Hello scrappy friends,

I am loving the challenges in the #Rediscoveryourstash Round 3 Facebook event. This time I am playing along with Challenge 14 the week 3 sketch. 

I am still stash bashing my Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine collection - such gorgeous bright colours with a touch of woodgrain. I used scraps from the collections and used a Kaisercraft woodgrain from the Basecoat release for the background (I bought so much of this paper -

still love it).

I stuck very closely to the sketch with my layout "Sail Away"

The little anchor geotag is pointing at the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background of the photo.

I love the camera motifs in this collection - just perfect for travel photos.

White with 1 - Feb 2018

Woohoo it's a new month which means lots of new challenges.

The White With 1 challenge this month is a sketch combined with Sizzling Pink. 

 

I decided to scrapbook some goofy snapchat photos of myself 

My background has some paint scraped across using Dylusions in Bubblegum pink. Next I added some washi and gyprock tape for added texture. I used doilies for the circular elements of the sketch.

I painted a gorgeous chipboard circle element in white and cut it up to use in all the different sections of the page - (2Crafty Star Bubble Set).

I have added a puffy sticker "Laugh" and some hearts which were from Heidi Swapp.

I added in some cut-aparts from Flutterby Designs.

The stitched circle stamp I have used in my background is from Kaisercraft. 

Please feel free to ask me if you would like details on any of the other elements on my layout.

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

Happy Scrapping.

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 Sketches Jan 15 Challenge - Everyday Happy

Hi there scrappy friends,

I am sharing my take on the Stuck?! Sketches 2nd challenge for January based on this amazing sketch:

I am busting my way through some older Hip Kits, so chose I chose one that featured lots of Amy Tan papers and diecuts. The rubber elements were from Dear Lizzy.

I wish I had stopped before the splatters but hey can't win em all. But it was an interesting experiment. I originally splattered with black liquid ink and it was gray and bleugh so I borrowed some Liquitex Carbon Black and oh my goodness the difference is amazing. Guess what is on my shopping list now.

 I have used some flair from Funky Flair Studio in some bright happy colours to finish my embellishing.

Thanks for stopping by.

#30 days of sketches Day 4 Trimming The Tree

Wow, how fast are the days flying by in January.  The school holidays will be over before we know it.

The fourth Laura Whitaker sketch featured in Christy's Beautiful Life's 30 days of sketches was very different to my usual style so it was quite a challenge for me.

I  used an old Hip Kit  (November 2015) for this layout. The kit was newish to me though. A Hip Kit designer had a stash clear out sale so I managed to grab a few kits she was finished with.  Even though the papers were older they were mostly Hip Kit exclusives and new and exciting to me.

A closer look at the title and journaling.

Thanks for stopping by.

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.
