Flutterby Designs DT - Finn

Hello!!

Today I have a layout to share for FLUTTERBY DESIGNS featuring the brand new Fur-Ever Friends collection. This time I have created a 'dog' layout. :-)

I am lucky enough to be owned by three dogs but my little guy is just possibly the happiest, most fun dog in the world. I think this collection represents his personality just perfectly.

I started by swiping some texture paste over the "Mmm Pie" Mini Stencil before drying with a heat gun.. Then I diluted the  Raspberry Punch Flutter Colour paint with some water, spritz my page with water and then painted on a wash of the colour using a large, soft paintbrush. I spritzed with a bit more water, blotted with scrunched up paper towel and then dried with a heat gun. I diluted a little of the Orange Goldfish paint also and flicked that over the background.

Next I had some fun cropping, shuffling around and layering some of the photo cards until I had my design right. A quick staple held them all in place so I could add easily to my layout.

Then it was a matter of adding my photo, title and scattering embellishments across my layout.

Here's what I used:

FUR-EVER FRIENDS:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Page Tabs

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Sticky Quick Quotes

- Flair Buttons - Dog

- 'Play' Wood Veneer

- 'Mmm Pie' Mini Stencil

- 'Heart House' Wood Veneer

- 'Small Hearts' Wood Veneer

- Flutter Colour Raspberry Punch

- Flutter Colour Orange Goldfish

Thanks for checking out my layout today.

Hello!!

This month at FLUTTERBY DESIGNS I am playing with the BRAND NEW release FUR-EVER FRIENDS.

It is such a fun and funky range for scrapping cute photos of your pets.

I started with a 'not' so cute photo of my beautiful cat Noodle. She was stalking me and being completely feral when I snapped this photo of her giving me stink eye through the hole in her activity centre.

I used the brand new release colours in the Flutter Colour range on this layout. Check out how beautifully bright they are on the dark background!! And that is after I watered them down for a more watercolour effect. Pretty cool huh?

I created a wash of colour over my background and then splattered a lot of colour over it too using a soft wet paintbrush.

Then I added a little detail with the gorgeous NEW Shake Your Tail Feather Stencil and some molding paste.

Next I layered on my cropped photo cards, photo, embellishments and title. And there is the 'Hello' from the 'Hello Love' Wood Veneer that I cut in half. I couldn't resist using the cheeky quote cut from the photo cards too.

Here's what I used:

FUR-EVER FRIENDS:

- Everyday Etc Photo Cards

- Everyday Etc Filler Photo Cards

- Sticky Quick Quotes

- Page Tabs

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Shake Your Tail Feather Stencil

- Enamel Dots Neon

- Hello Love Wood Veneer

- Hello My Name Is Wood Veneer

- Confetti Circles Wood Veneer

FLUTTER COLOUR:

- Orange Goldfish

- Raspberry Punch

- Sunshine Yellow

I hope you love this collection as much as I do and feel inspired to scrap your own furry friends.

Flutterby Designs DT - Crazy Together

Hello!!

Today I am sharing a layout I created for FLUTTERBY DESIGNS using the fabulous Mad About You collection.

'Crazy Together' Layout

For this layout, I was totally inspired by one of Anita's filler cards which is the one directly under my photo. It is a book paper one with lovely big circles of bright pink, blue and green. This was my inspiration for my background.

I started by spritzing my background with water before spraying on Kaisermists in Pink, Lime Green and Aqua. I added more water to make lovely pools of colour on my layout. After drying with a heat gun, I then used Golden Light Molding Paste with the I {heart} you mini stencil to add another layer of interest to my background.

I love this photo of my hubby and kids being their crazy selves for the photo. I printed it off in black and white so that it wouldn't compete with my technicolour layout and so that it would stand out from it. 

I have layered several filler cards from the Mad About You range underneath and added some crazy embroidery thread in matching colours too.  We are huge The Big Bang Theory fans so of course I had to use that fabulous flair button!

Here's what I used:

MAD ABOUT YOU:

- Everyday Etc Filler Cards

- Die Cut Bits & Bobs

- Wood Veneer Pack

- Flair Buttons Set 1

- Page Tabs

- Green Sticky Alphas

- 'Mini Stencils' Stencil

- 'Small Hearts' Wood Veneer

- Enamel Dots 'Neon'

The Scrapbook Store DT - 7 Dots Writer's Block 3

Hello!

Today I am sharing my third layout for THE SCRAPBOOK STORE featuring 7 Dots Studio Writer's Block.

I have gone super grungy with this layout!

I started by adding a whole lot of Charcoal Kaisermist and water to my background cardstock followed by some stamping using a Carabelle Studio Stamp. I really LOVE this new stamp brand. They have so many funky and cool designs.

I sprayed all of my chipboard cogs, flowers and even the lattice jute with the same Kaisermist to keep things consistent.

Check out all of those layers!

Charms Creations DT - Jot January Challenge

Hello!!

Today I am sharing a layout I created for the Jot Magazine January Mood Board Challenge.

Check out the gorgeous inspiration.

LOVE those colours!!

I have created a baby layout using this gorgoeus mood board as inspiration.

'Adore' Layout

I found the most perfect mist for my background in my stash but because it was a really old Glimmermist, of course the nozzle wouldn't work. I NEEDED to use it so instead of spraying the colour on, I misted my layout with water and then added the colour using a large soft paintbrush. I LOVE how the colour washed over the cardstock. After I dried it with a heat gun, I flicked a bit more colour on to create a bit more interest.

I used the same technique on the music paper 'XO' embellishments from Charm's Creations to perfectly co-ordinate them with my background colour. It really gave such a lovely watercolour look to them.

I created LOTS of layers on this layout using 3D foam to add lots of dimension and make my tiny photo stand out from the other levels of patterned papers.

All of the chipboard is by Imaginarium Designs and I have painted it with the same Glimmermist as my background.

I hope you have been inspired by my layout to create your own entry for the challenge. Why not go through your stash and find some old Glimmermists to use in the same way.

Cheers

Jot Kids - Mad Scientist

Hello!!

Today I am sharing a layout created by my darling daughter Hayley, aged 11, for the January Jot Kids challenge at Jot Magazine.

Check out the inspiration.

How fabulously bright is that?!!

Here's what Hayley created.

Mad Scientist

She had lots of fun creating that rainbow background using my Kaisermists.

She layered lots of rainbow coloured patterned papers behind her photo just like I do. I have taught her well! :-)

She found an old Prima rainbow flower in my stash. I also donated this fabulous super bright emoji embellishment from Charm's Creations. She glued on some wood veneer 'nerd goggles' to match the ones in the photo I snapped of her using her science experiment Christmas present.

Thanks so much for checking out Hayley's layout. She would love to read your comments. :-)

Cheers
