It's been way to long, but I have a little something to share!
I love making Valentine pages. Hearts, hearts and more hearts! This page is filled with heart stickers, heart stencils, conversation hearts and heart paper and of course, heart flair. They fit right in and stand right out. I've added flair from 2 different sets. Kraft and White and Just Hearts 1. I think I use more heart flair than any other pattern that I have.
Thanks for stopping by today! See you again next time!
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share. I used the Boys Rule collection from Cocoa Vanilla and a cut file from Cut To You. I love having sweet photos of my boy to scrap.
There are so many cute boy/men themed flair buttons in the store! The adventure flair is from the store, the other flair is from the Boys Rule collection. It's so easy to mix and match these! There's something for all types of collection in the store!
I thought this collection was perfect for my photos! When I posted these photos on social media I commented that I was pretty sure gnomes or fairies lived in this log, and what perfect papers for that thought! Also the words on the flair matched the sentiment of this story. Here a few close ups:
I layered a bunch of vegetation ephemera behind and around the photos. I loved making this one!
I made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy. I will let you know that it started a bit different than it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you again soon! XO og.
Hi! Orange Gearle here with a layout I made using donut flair from the A Flair for Buttons store! I've had this flair for a while, and finally had the perfect photo to use them! Here is a look at my project:
I used papers from the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Garden collection. I loved the pink and thought it went well with the donut flair! I also added a little bit of mixed media to the background. I used a Vicki Boutin stencil and some Vicki Boutin stencils to create a cascade of butterflies in the background. I used some of the butterflies in the ephemera from the collection and I fussy cut some more from the patterned papers. Here are some close ups of the flair!
The collection also had some stickers that fit the theme of this layout perfectly!
I really enjoyed making this one! I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I will see you again, soon! XO o.g.
I used a sketch by Devra Hunt that can be found here. Here are a few close-ups of the flair I used:
The piece above is from the Tropical Vacation Flair set and I thought it made the perfect "sun" and pop of yellow. The two pieces below are from the Watercolor Patterns Flair set. I thought they matched this collection so well, and I love that they add the perfect pop of color and even out my triangle and draw my eyes across the page.
I fussy cut a bunch of flowers to make clusters around the flair, and all across the page! Here are a few more close ups:
I added pop dots behind my kite to pop it off the page a little bit. I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thanks for checking it out and I will see you again soon! XO o.g.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share. I had lots of fun creating this one. I used the Super Cool collection from Pinkfresh Studio and 5 flair buttons!! Yes I said 5!
I'm not sure why but there's just something extra fun about creating boy layouts right? I love adding lots of embellishments and flair buttons were a perfect fit on this one!
I might have even been able to squeeze a few more in! lol
My papers and embellishments came from Shimelle's Never Grow Up Collection. I love that bird paper! The flowers on this flair match the scarlet color of in the patterned papers. They were the perfect addition to the page. Here are a few close ups of the flair:
These papers and flair were perfect for telling the story of our spring visitors! I used the branding strips off several of the 12x12 papers on the left of side of the layout to add some splashes of color. I combined the Thickers and a chipboard sticker for my title.
This was a fun one to make! I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you again soon! XO o.g.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using 3 bright and bold flair buttons. They coordinated perfectly with the Field Trip Collection from Shimelle.
I think red embellishments are my favorite. This all boy flair was perfect to document my son learning to ride a bike without training wheels. He was only 4 years old!
I love to add flair buttons with words on them but I also like the ones with the simple designs like stars or hearts. This one is so cute!
Hello, Orange Gearle here with a layout using several pieces of flair from {a flair for buttons}! I used three different flair sets for this layout. Here is a look at what I made:
This flair is from the Hashtag Summer Flair Set. I love how it completely matches both the theme and the colors in this layout.
This flair is from the Lovely Words 10 Flair set. I feel like the sentiment completely matches the little sloth next to it!
And finally, you know I couldn't get by without adding adding a piece of flair from the Sloth Love Flair Set! This is the first of many layouts that I think I will do about how Covid-19 is changing how things work these days.
Here are a few more close ups:
I used papers and embellishments from the March Scrapbooking kit at Paper Issues. I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope this blogpost finds you and your family safe and well. XO o.g.
Welcome! Laura here with you today with a cutie patootie. My daughter in law uploaded this adorable photo of the grandson and it was calling to be scrapped. Super Hero Flair and Dude Flair were the perfect embellishments for this fun paper line Field Trip by Shimelle.

I have a little something to share today. Sometimes I go in spurts with flair. I use them all the time, then I don't. Well, I'm definitely in a "use them all the time" spurt right now.
I used all kinds of bits & things on this layout for a Paper Issues challenge, including flair from 3 different sets. Marble Flair, Two Tone Hearts, and Sherbert Stars. I love to mix things up in size, shape, color and pattern. These flair did just that for this project.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using some Christmas flair and the November kit from Hip Kit Club. Christmas went by so fast this year I'm still feeling festive so I'm still scrapbooking some holiday photos!
Look at these gorgeous flair buttons! How cute is that bear?
I had a lot of fun with this layout. Lots of embellishments and lots of stitching!
I was inspired by the Monochromatic Fanatic challenge over in the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} FB page. For the month of March we are using mostly GREEN on our project for this challenge. I wanted to add a few pops of black and white to break up all the green -- and that's where the flair came in! Here are a few close ups:
I thought the speech bubble "Live life on your terms" fit perfectly with the "Wander without reason" flair!
I did a bunch of stitching behind the whole layout, just to add some fun texture and more green to the page. I also had a little fun with the title.
And here is a look at the story behind the photo:
I also made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I 'll see you again real soon XO o.g.
Hello and happy February! I am getting ready to return to Tanzania in less than two weeks, but I've only begun to scrap the trip I took in August. I finally got around to making my album title page and there are, of course, the perfect flair in the shop to help me embellish. I love the sentients and cute images. I definitely have a wanderlust heart and love seeing this amazing world we live in.
I hope to have more layouts for you in the coming months as I edit my photos and get them scrapped. Be sure to click on the photos below to find these great sets in the shop. Until next time, happy crafting!
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using 2 pretty teal flair buttons and a kit from Hip Kit Club. There's just something about shades of blue that just says winter!
I love using flair buttons for flower centers so I figured they would be perfect as snowflake centers too!
Hi! Orange Gearle here with a layout for you featuring several pieces of flair from the {a flair for buttons} etsy shop! Here is a look at my layout:
I used three pieces of flair from two different flair sets.
This striped flair went perfectly with all the rainbow stripes on my layout. I found this piece in the Take a Picture 1 Flair set. The two pieces below were obviously perfect for my subject matter, and found in the Tropical Vacation 2 flair set. I must admit, I chose my papers based on the margarita flair!
This story was all about going to a new restaurant in town to celebrate a family birthday. I used Amy Tangerine's Slice of Life collection for this layout and a journal spot from the ephemera pack to help tell this story.
I also made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thanks for stopping by and I will see you again soon! XO o.g.
Hi! Orange Gearle here with a layout using flair from the Lovely Words 9 flair set. I am also using a cut file called Good Book from The Cut Shoppe and Paige Evan's Truly Grateful collection with Pink Paislee. Here is a look at my layout:
This photo was captured by My One True Love. Our family was staying out of town at a hotel and our daughter was reading Harry Potter before bed (right after her shower). Unlike her father and I, Bea isn't someone that just LOVES to read, but she is sure enjoying the Harry Potter series! Here are a few close ups :
All three pieces of flair are from the same flair set (Lovely Words 9) and they match this collection and sentiment of the layout with perfection.
I backed the file and added flair and a few clusters of flowers and called this layout done! If you would like to see my process, I did make a video, if that suits your fancy!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I will see you again soon! XO o.g.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing a new festive layout! Is there anything more fun to make than Christmas layouts? Seriously, I could spend all my time looking at old Christmas photos of my kids! I love this photo of my son with Santa Claus. He wouldn't sit on his lap but I managed to get a sweet photo anyway!
I used the Kringle collection from PhotoPlay and 3 flair buttons on this layout!
I love how the flair buttons add that extra pop of color!
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using the Paige Evans/Pink Paislee Truly Grateful collection. A few weeks ago I went to a crop and was challenged to do a monochromatic layout. I decided to go with pink!
After I added all the pink to my layout, I felt like it needed to black to make my photo pop. These black flair buttons with the quotes are my favorites!!
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using the Dear Lizzy She's Magic collection. As soon as I saw this paper I knew I had to cut it up. I decided to go with a heart shape and I stitched some of the squares just to add a little extra to it.
I've had this flair button in my stash for a long time. I was just perfect with my black and white photo! Sometimes you just need to save them for the perfect layout!
Hello! Orange Gearle here with a layout using some beautiful black and white flair from three different flair sets! I used Amy Tangerine's Slice of Life collection. Here is my layout :
I started this layout by typing up my journaling in the Silhouette software. Then I had my Cameo print the journaling on white card stock using a sketch pen. I knew I wanted to tell a longer story for this one, so I incorporated it into the design of the page.
This story is about an experience at a Cheap Trick concert, so the notes in the Rock On 3 Flair were perfect for this layout. I also loved the idea of the black and white, so I grabbed a couple of other black and white pieces, too.
I layered some papers from the 6x6 paper pad behind my photo and popped the photos up with craft foam. I put the other two pieces of flair on either side to create a visual triangle on the page.
This flair came from the Bright Triangle Flair set.
This piece came from the Brave Soul Flair set. I love this piece so much!!
Finally I added a few colorful pieces of patterned paper in strips at the bottom, a boarder at the top with a piece of 12x12 paper from the collection, a few bits of thread, some stitching and splatters to finish it off. I just love layouts with black and white and pops of color! I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!
Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon. XO o.g.
Hey there! I recently added 3 pieces of flair to a layout I created using the newest Fancy Pants collection. I love the detail, dimension and color that they can add to a layout or project.
Thanks for popping in today! Give Shelley's flair a try!
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using the Echo Park Summer Adventure collection and some awesome flair buttons. I have a weakness for camping themed papers and embellishments. Maybe it's just because I have a lot of camping photos, but they are always so much fun to use!
I had lots of flair buttons to choose from in my stash so it was easy to find the perfect ones to match my layout! I settled on 3 but I could have added a whole lot more!
Hey there! It's Devra here today. It's been a while since I shared a page on the blog! Well, Here you go! I have so many projects in my head, I can't get them made fast enough. This is one of them. I've been trying to get this done since June!
This layout is about my last day at work, and 10 days before I started my new job. I'd been wanting a change for a while. It took some work and perseverance, but I stuck it out and it paid off.
I started with the She-Ra FREE cut file from Paper Issues. It's really the whole story right there. I thought the Crate Paper All Heart, and some inspirational flair would bring the rest my story to life. It did. I didn't have to do much after that. I tucked and layered stickers and ephemera around my photo. I finished it off with flair from 3 different sets: Lovely Words 8, Lovely Words 3 and Girl Boss Gold.
Hi there, it's Laura and I have a bright, fun layout to share with you today! I just received some rainbow flair from the A Flair For Buttons shop, so I had to make a rainbow layout to put them on! I recently picked up the August kit from Paper Issues and it's all about the rainbow! Lately I have been gravitating towards bright colors and rainbows because I've needed the boost. I chose this photo of a recent gathering of scrap friends because it also makes me happy.
I took my favorite stencil by Julie Balzer. I inked it with a rainbow of Distress Inks, misted, then stamped it onto watercolor paper.
Hi, Laura here with a layout for you today. We recently were tasked with bringing a semi truck back to town. It was a bit unexpected and we had to put our car on the back to make our trip. It was fun seeing the husband doing his professional thing.
Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout to share using the Pinkfresh Joyful Day collection. When I took out these photos, I wasn't sure what collection I would use because the blue/purple of my daughter's outfit was an usual color. Then I saw that it matched perfectly with this collection! Don't you love it when that happens!
I used a cut file designed by Ashley Horton for the Hip Kit Club. After I backed some of the hearts with pattern paper, I wanted to add some embellishments on some of them. It was the perfect place to add some flair buttons!
This one is one of my favorites. I've been holding on to it for a long time!
Hi, Laura coming to you with some fun new hair! My daughter in law gave me mermaid hair and of course I needed to do a layout. The Sand and Sun Flair and Hello Summer Flair were the perfect embellishments for my story.
Hello everyone! Diane here, I thought it would be fun to scrap a favorite photo and memory from Christmas...many years ago. In an attempt to capture the perfect Santa picture I instead captures a scene from a holiday comedy. I smile at the scene I captured and the memory of the moment every time I see this photo and knew it was time to document the occasion.
I wanted to keep the layout simple with the focus on the photo and the story. I changed the photo to black and white and added only pops of red and a bit of silver accents.
