{A Flair for Buttons}

Hello Happy

Hi!  It's Ashley with you today, to share a new layout combining two of my favorite things...cut files and Flair Buttons!  I had a cute photo of the girls at the swimming pool, so I wanted to create a fun, girly layout to match the picture.  I decided to use a large talk bubble cut file in the background, and then I chose three different Flair Buttons to add to several of the talk bubbles.

 

 

I used Flair Buttons from the Krafty 2 set, the Take a Picture 3 set and the Best Friends set.  The color on each of the Flair Buttons paired perfectly with the Echo Park collection I used for my layout.  There are a lot of fun options for mixing your Flair Buttons with different cut files!  You can combine them to create fun and unique looks on your layouts!

 

You can visit the A Flair for Buttons shop, to pick up the sets that I used on my layout or any others that might catch your eye!!  Thanks for stopping by today!

You're Spec-tacular

Hi there, fellow flair lovers! It's Els today. For this blog day I created a card with a fun flair. I think the sentiment on this Just Words flair is the cutest for a card, and had it laying around on my worktable with this intention in mind since a few weeks. 

It turned out to be a fairly simple and fast card. The background paper is from Heidi Swapp, I added a few more confetti's to it by sticking on some sequins. I adore the look of this.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Mini Update...

Hi there! Ashli Oliver here today with a mini-sized update on my "Four, Eight and Under" Mini album.

I am having more fun playing in this small size as I document this season in my life. The days are full and while this seems mundane, I know I will look back on this one day, glad that it is documented...

After all, sometimes it is the little things that matter most...

These pages are so small, I am finding that one bit of flair really is the perfect thing!

It is filling up nicely, indeed!

Be sure to head on over to the SHOP and check out all the gorgeous flair!

See you soon!

A Note To My Younger Self

Hey everyone, Diane here sharing a fun layout from a while ago that I forgot to share! Really, how did I do that? Not only does it have lots of fun flair pieces but puffy stickers and Love, Elsie epoxy stickers from the depths of my stash. I've purged many times but Love, Elsie I can not bear to part with...the bright colors and fun playful products suit me perfectly.

Ok, so back to the layout. I thought it would be fun to create a layout with words of wisdom that I think should be instilled in all young girls and being a shy one when I was little would have done me good. Not that I had poor self-esteem, but lets face it...growing up is hard to do! In fact, even as adults it is good to hear kind, encouraging words, right?!

 

I used used an old photo of myself and an assortment of flair with words that I used to build my words of encouragement.

Here are a few of the flair sets I used to tell my story.

Colorful Camera Flair

Hashtag Girl Flair

Color My World Flair 

Just Words 2 Flair

You can find these sets and so many more in the {a flair for buttons} shop!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!

OK (oklahoma)

Traveling can be strenuous until you stop at the local bar and grill for some food and a selfie!  Mary-Ann here to share this colorful layout with you today.  I used beautiful Chic Tags papers and embellishments, Freckled Fawn letters and tags and the best flair out there.

 

 

 

The flair I used, helped emphasize the event and the colors.  The Summer flair, is perfect for the center of the sun and matches perfectly.  I have been hoarding this plaid flair.  I guess there is no time like the present to use it.  Head to the shop where you can pick out your favorite flair.  Buy two sets if you think you are going to hoard like me!

See you all again real soon.

Noted Documented

Hi flair fans! Els here. When my peonies finally were in full bloom a few weeks ago, I just had to snap some pictures. I was a bit sad to have only two of these beautiful blooms this year, and heavy rain storms unfortunately destroyed them after two days. Peonies are some of my favorite flowers, so I had to document them.

The picture is actually an Instagram one, that I printed at home. I mounted it on a few layers of vellum and also added a doily to repaet that delicate and elegant look of the flower. A couple of die-cut florals lead your eye across the page.

The beautiful watercolor effect of the Capture Life 1 set works very well with this layout. The soft pink hearts match the colors of my background and peonies. I also added a Chalkboard Day in My Life flair, which I absolutely love and works with almost everything.

That ombré background is pretty simple to make. All you need is a piece of cardstock, some acrylic paint and a brush, and a bit of patience. I made a little video for those of you who are interested. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Me 36

Hi there! Ashli Oliver here to share a birthday page with you today.

I turned 36 yesterday. I try to make it a habbit to scrap a birthday page for myself every year. This year has been quite the adventure for me... one of personal growth, to say the least. So, it is indeed scrapworthy!

I have gathered a recent selfie, some papers, and a fabulous selection of FLAIR:

To get started, I set about playing with some die cut feathers and my overall page design. I know I want a good deal of white space to allow for paint play and journaling...

Speaking of paint... a little white will tone down this pattern nicely...

Now, while we wait for the paint to dry, I can start playing with embellishments and titles...

And, of course... some FLAIR. Seriously... how cute is this little coffee cup badge? I do love me some coffee, so I think it is perfect on this page!

And this "growth" badge is also perfect for this page... as I really have experienced lots of personal growth this year...

Now that all of that paint is dry, I can play around with adding in some watercolors:

While the addition of some rub-ons completes my embellishment clusters...

Me at 36...

It's going to be a great year!

Thanks for joining me today! Please remember to check out the SHOP for awesome FLAIR goodness :)

No. 1 Dad

We are quickly moving through the Summer, and just last month we celebrated Father's Day.  It's always fun to take a photo of Dad and the kids together each year, and this year was no exception!  I created a layout using more neutral colors...Black, Gray and White, with some touches of Blue and Green mixed in!

 

 

 

 

I used 3 Flair Buttons under my photo, to create a little sentiment.  I love that you can use the Flair Buttons to create fun sub-titles on your layouts!  And once I finished my layout, I felt like I still needed something to balance out the right side of the page, so I grabbed the "Smile" Flair Button and layered it over the frame around my photo!

 

The Etsy shop is currently out on vacation, but make sure you stop by and visit once things are back up and running, to check out the sets I used on my layout!!

Congratulations

Mary-Ann here to share a super simple congratulatory card by mixing Chic Tags with A Flair for Buttons.  It is like combining peanut butter and chocolate.  Magical:o)  A little layering, inking, enamels and a doily complete the card.

 

 

 

This world flair is stunning.  Shelley has even more options over at the Etsy shop.

Hope to see you again soon.

The Great Outdoors

Hi everyone, Diane here! I'm sharing my write. click. scrapbook July gallery layout today! The theme this month is the great outdoors. I decided to do a layout featuring my own backyard and all the critters we've enjoyed (or been frightened by) over the years, lol!

We are so lucky...this is the fabulous view from our backyard. The best part is that we don't have to maintain any of it since it isn't our property or our horses! :)

In keeping with the outdoor theme I used a piece of butterfly flair. This one was perfect for complementing the soft feel of the layout. 

You can pick up this flair and so many other themes in the {a flair for buttons} shop!

Thanks so much for visiting!
