{A Flair for Buttons}

Rakas - a layout by Riikka

Hi there! It's Riikka here today with a special layout. It's special in more than one way. First of all, it's the topic, my darling husband, but also where I made the layout and using which products. Because I made the layout during a workshop with Louise Nelson in Egersund, Norway. I was delighted to participate in that workshop! It was a huge treat for me and I think I can use what I learned in so many ways and draw inspiration out of that for months and months to come!

What also makes the layout special is the materials. The stamps I used in the layout are self made! I might have grown an addiction to stamp carving while taking the classes. It's so fun! So if you haven't ever taken a workshop, I highly recommend. There's so much more than learning new things - also meeting like minded people and the different perspective you get of trying something new, speaking to new people and hearing how others create. 

Besides the self carved stamps, I also used some stickers and naturally flairs in the layout. The two love themed are from "Just Hearts 2" and "Vintage Sweetheart". I guess they are easily explained with the topic of my page. The chain patterned flair might be a more special one. It's from "Texture 2" set and represents how my husband is my anchor chain, how we link to each other like loops in the chain and how we make up a chain of generations.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a pleasant start to the new week!

Santa Please Stop Here Mini Album

Hello friends! It's Lee-Anne here and today I have a Christmas mini album to share with you celebrating a Canadian Christmas. 

I love creating mini albums and this one came together rather quickly with the help of some cute flair buttons, kraft paper lunch bags and some patterned papers from Photoplay Paper's Oh Canada Christmas Collection created by the talented Becky Fleck.

I combined several sets of flair buttons and dug into my festive Christmas stash of flair buttons. 

On the front cover, I added a flair button on the top of the tree from the Christmas Wishes 1 set

Since this is a Canadian themed mini album, I added two adorable buffalo check moose flair buttons from the Canada 2 Flair Set

On the left hand side I added a green "Merry Merry" flair button from the Christmas Fun 2 Flair Set and on the bottom right, I added the red, white and green "Merry Christmas" Flair Set from the Christmas Faces Flair Set.

On some of the tags that I tucked into some of the pockets, I added the "Merry Christmas" flair button from the It's Christmas Time   Flair Set.

as well as the buffalo check maple leaf flair button from the Canada 2 Flair Set.

Finally, on the second last page of the album I added a cute red truck flair button from the It's Christmas Time Flair Set.

It was fun creating this little mini album and I hope you are inspired to create a mini album using several flair buttons from several themes. All these are available in the A Flair For Buttons shop.

Have a creative day!

Oh hello November. What? How did that happen so fast. Well, nothing like starting the month off with a new project! It's Devra today with this layout I also made for the November Challenge with The Cut Shoppe.

This months challenge is white on white, meaning use white cardstock for your cut file as well as the background for your project. I will say, I do not usually do this, so yay for trying new things! I filled in the spaces with some of the softer prints of Amy Tangerine Shine On. I added color with the embellishments. The two pieces of flair I used are from the Let Them Eat cake and Lovely Words 7 sets. They had the color, style and sentiment I was looking for. Over all this was actually quite simple to do. The result is soft yet striking. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping today. See you next time :Devra

 

 

 

 

..:: love fall ::.. with orange gearle

Hi, Orange Gearle here with a new layout and process video to share with you!  Here is my layout:

I started with white card stock and I added some Shimmerz paints to my background. I used a pretty yellow/orange called Vibez Sunset Strip because I thought it matched the pretty leaves on the trees in the photo! As an accent color I wanted pops of aqua, that's where the flair came in!

This "be present" flair is a piece that had Shelley make for me a few years ago. My word for the year was "present" and so I had her make up some "be present" flair to use on projects. I found this in my stash and I thought it fit the sentiment of the layout --- stop and notice the beauty of fall -- and it also added the perfect pop of color! 

This camera flair is from the Take a Picture 1 flair set. Once again I used to to add a pop of color and I placed it in white space, right on the photo. I like how it draws your eye to photo as if to say, "CHECK OUT THIS PHOTO!"

I also made a video of my process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again soon! XO o.g.

Who We are Now

Hello there! It's Devra here today and  I have a layout to share today inspired by the OOTD blog article at Get It Scrapped!

 

I thought I'd share my inspiration outfit. It's one of my very favorites from my own wardrobe. It's easy, comfortable and I always feel good when I wear it. 

I chose to take most of my inspiration from the neutral and organic aspects of my OOTD. The colors, woodgrain patterned paper and stitching on it represent the texture of my shoes, the organic nature of leather and rope as well.  The marble flair  and lovely words 7 flair I added also have water color and natural feels to them. They also tie all the colors together!

 

Just a little short and sweet project today! Thanks for stopping by!

 

Sweet Fall, Sis! - a layout by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka here to share my second October project with you! When I made this page, the weather had just taken a turn towards autumn. It was still warm, but the rains started to set in and there was the scent of autumn in the air. I bet by now we are deep in the autumn already. How about you? Do you experience all the four seasons or just two of them?

What I used as inspiration to this page was the squirrel flair, this picture and my younger daughter. I showed her the picture, of two of them climbing to a rock near my parents's place, and asked what she'd like to say to her sister, would she have some autumn greeting for her. She thought about it a moment and then said she'd like just to say "ihanaa syksyä, sisko" - "sweet autumn, sister". So thus the title! 

I used a rich, autumn color palette in the page and brought other fall like elements to it besides the squirrel flair from the Woodland Creatures set. I added leaves and branches in different ways and managed even to add one flair from my favorite set, Texture 1. But I have to be honest - the picture in the layout isn't taken during autumn. It's actually taken on Christmas day two years ago when the weather was really warm and strange for the season!

Besides autumn like flair, I also used a heart one from Two Tone Heart, which matched the warm autumn color palette. As I usually love to add something black and something white in my layouts to give them contrast and brightness, the "Fab!" flair from Smash Words 1 fitted this purpose perfectly. And the saying fitted the page as well as I think the greeting is fab and also the fact that my kids climb and know how to go about in the wild. 

Thank you for your visit today! I'll be seeing you again next month! Maybe some winter projects then already? Or maybe it's still a bit early for that... Let's see what I come up with!

..:: Singing in the Rain ::.. with orange gearle

Hi Friends! Orange Gearle here with a layout all about making the best of a not so fun situation. My daughter decided to literally sing in the rain, instead of the alternative -- letting the days and days of rain we have had this fall get her down. Here is my layout:

Fun fact: These photos are actual stills that I grabbed from the video I took of her singing.

I mixed media - ed the background, added lots of paint and stitching -- and then added flair from the Linen Heart Flair Set. I love how the color blocking turned out. Here are a few close ups:

I paired the flair with pieces of like-colored ephemera from Vicki Boutin's latest collection. I love all the hearts!

This was a super fun layout to make. I made a process video if that suits your fancy!

 

 Thank you so much for stopping by! XO o.g.

Thankful for Fall

Hi everyone, Laurel here with another fall themed card. I think fall/winter are my favorite seasons to create projects for. What about you?

For my card I have used the Burlap 2 Flair.

 

Some great images on these buttons and I love the texture of the burlap.

I combined it with some fall papers, punched leaves and twine. 

I scattered a few sequins and cork embellishments to add some interest. 

Of course, I am thankful for fall... :) 

Thank you for visiting today.

Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing a new LO using the let your heart decide collection from Pinkfresh Studio and a cut file from Paige Evans.  My girl has never been afraid to be herself.  She never changes herself to fit it with others.  That makes me so proud of her!

I very often use black flair buttons because I love how they stand out!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Stay Wild Mini Album

Hello friends! It's Lee-Anne here sharing another project with you. I am crazy about mini albums these days and wanted to make a little mini album of my dog Syd. 

After I finished creating the pages of the mini album and added my patterned paper, I wanted to embellish the album with some fabulous flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons.

For the binding of my mini album, I decided to add some binder rings. This allows me to embellish my album with some lumps and bumps. Flair buttons have quite a lot of depth to them so it was a perfect opportunity to go crazy with the fabulous flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons.

I used several flair buttons from several sets. Anything that fits with the colors and theme of my album would work. That's what I like about combining different sets. I dug deep into my flair jar and added these flair buttons:

The front cover has an adorable owl from the Woodland Creatures Flair. 

On page 2 I added a flair button from the Good Dog Flair Set.

Moving along to Page 4, on the left page, I added the squirrel flair button that is from the Woodland Creatures Flair Set.

On the right side, I added a flair button from the Linen Heart Flair.

On the next two pages, they don't have any flair on them, but I wanted to show you all the pages of the mini album.

Moving right along on the next two pages, I added a flair button from the Good Dog Flair on the left page

and on the right page I added a flair button from the Phrases 2 Flair Set.

And finally turning over this page is the back cover.

I loved created this little mini of my silly Golden Retriever. All the patterned papers for this mini album are from the Norwegian Wood Collection, a digital paper pack with elements created by the amazingly talented Cat Martin. I resized the papers and elements in my Silhouette Designer Edition software and printed them out on my home printer. I LOVE this collection and the beautiful vibrant autumn colors.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to add a variety of flair buttons to your projects. Check out the A Flair For Buttons shop for these flair buttons and hundreds more. Happy creating!

Art Is Good For You - a layout with a video by Riikka

Hi there! How are you doing? It's Riikka here today to share a layout with a process video with you! The layout is about how I love to attend art museums with my two daughters. The colors of the page as well as the flag button hint where we were when I took this photo. In the United Kingdom, London, visiting Tate Modern.

My daughters are not strangers to museums. We've been visiting different art exhibitions and museums all of their childhood. When they were younger, the visits were naturally quite short and we thought a little what they'd be interested to see, but now I enjoy exploring art with them. I love to hear what they see in expressionist pieces, for example. 

As the topic of the page is partly Tate Modern, I wanted to make somewhat minimal page with clear elements. That's why I started by painting a red circle to my layout. I recorded a video while working on the page so you can see how I made it! I hope you enjoy!

As you can see from the video, I had again selected some flair buttons to start with and then edited my choices when making the page. The Union Jack is from UK set and just needed to be in there. I also thought that the View-Master fitted not only the color palette but also the theme of looking art and seeing it differently. The machine is from the So Retro 3 set. The grungy textures of jeans, knit and wooden boards are from the two textures sets, Texture 1 and Texture 2.  Last but not least the black background star flair, which is from Rainy set, balances the black bits of the title and brings a lovely modern twist.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a lovely start to October!

So Amazing - a layout by Riikka

Moikka! It's Riikka here again to share a layout with you. The topic of this page is a dear friend of mine. Every now and then I guess we all could use someone to remind us how special and amazing we are. Because we are and Terhi is extra special. Her crafts are amazing as well so if you haven't visited her blog already, I highly recommend that you do so.

I wanted the page to be fun and energetic so I chose to go with yellow and balanced it out with dark blue. Kind of jeans with the yellow stitched and dark blue denim. Because that's something Terhi is - reliable like a pair of jeans, energetic and warm like the sun and sweet as roses and strawberries. Her crazy also matches mine like you can see from the picture. 

I wanted to add a bunch of flair buttons to the page that would somehow be meaningful. So there's tea cups from the Animal Tea Party set as well as "You're SOY amazing" saying from the Sushi set. We go for coffee/tea occasionally as well as have dinner (sushi!) at the city center when we have a chance.  Then there's also those sweet little yellow flowers that spark joy and awe, just like she does. 

Have you done a special page for your friend? Or even a mini album? If not, maybe you should! 

Thank you for stopping by today! I'll be seeing you here again next month!

Fall is here...a couple of fall themed cards

Hi everyone Laurel here. I love fall. I mean I really love fall! The colours, the cooler temperatures, the food, the smells, the clothes... and I love creating fall projects. Today I am sharing a couple of cards. 

I am using the Hashtag Fall Flair

Both cards are pretty simple but I am loving the simple look lately. 

First up I created this fun one using a woodgrain embossing folder and a die cut panel. I popped up the sentiment for some dimension. The leaves are from a punch I have had around for years. I added some stitching for more texture. The finishing touch is of course the buttons and the sequins. 

Next up, I used a sentiment stamp to create a subtle background. Once again some punched, stitched leaves and sequins. This time I added interest by adding some washi tape and finally the button.

Awesome Adventure

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.   I've been wanting to do a LO with a painted background for a while.  Well I finally did it using Vicki Boutin paints.  I knew I wanted to used bright colors with black accents or my LO.   I really like how it turned out and it was so fun to make!

I just had to use this "be wild" flair on this LO. 

Thanks for stopping by!

..:: you are magic ::.. with orange gearle

Hi! Orange Gearle here with a layout I made about my daughter's latest obsession (and talent). I used three flair buttons from different sets of flair for this layout.  Here's my story:

I started with some Shimmerz Paints in the background and then I fussy cut a bunch of flowers from Maggie Holmes Willow Lane collection to cluster around my photo. Here are a few close ups:

This black flair is from the Primary Arrows 1 Flair set. 

This camera from the Summer Vibes Flair set was perfect for this collection and photos.

And finally, I added this hashtag from the Hashtag Summer Flair Set.

A few pieces of tangled thread and puffy hearts and I was done! I also made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!

 

 

Thank you so much for checking out my latest layout. See you again soon. XO o.g.

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.   When I am asked what is my scrapbook style I never really know what to answer.  Layers, clusters...lots of detail?  All I know is that I like to put a lot of stuff on my LO's.  Maybe my style is embellishment junkie!  lol  So I decided to challenge myself to make a simple LO.  Well it was hard!  Like really hard.  All I did was fussy cut some flowers from the 1canoe2 Twilight collection, added a few stickers and one flair button.  I kept going back wanting to add more but I think it turned out ok.  It's kinda fun to challenge yourself to do something different once in a while.

Here's a closer look at that pretty flair button!

Apples for sale

Now that September is here, I am so ready for fall and fall projects and what better way to start than with some apples.

I love the Fresh Market Flair - so perfect for many little projects.  I can see them as little accents on a garden themed basket or on tags on homemade goodies.

 

Today I have used the apple one on a little tag as part of a scene on a card. 

 

When I saw the flair I knew it would work perfectly for something like this. What do you think?

Now as a teacher... I have a thing for apples ;)

An altered brush by Riikka

Hi there! Has autumn really started in your neck of woods or is the weather still summery? Or are you living on the southern hemisphere and it's actually starting to look like spring?

August is often a total summer month here in Finland but as we close in and move on to September, the weather starts to cool and days get shorter. Also the rains start to roll in. I'm kind of really liking the golden autumn with bright colors and rain showers when you can wear a bright red rain coat and then go home to have a warm cup of tea. 

Even though this brush has flowers and was inspired by that love vintage themed flair with flowers, I already see a turn for the autumn with the saturated colors. The yellow and brick red blooms remind me of the golden hues of birch trees and that vivid red of maple trees. The colors of the flowers echo those of the blooms the little girl is holding in the flair.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a sweet and colorful autumn!

Summer Fun

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  A few weeks ago I talked about how I love doing summer LO's because there are so many products to choose from.  On this LO I used 2 summer themed flair buttons.  They went perfectly with the Hello Summer collection from Simple Stories!

Word flairs are my absolute favorite!

And more yellow!  You can never have too much yellow right?

Thanks for stopping by!

Today is the Day

Hey there! It's Devra here with a very happy page to share today. That for sure means I need bright happy colors and of course flair to go with it all!  So to start, I grabbed a bunch of bright colored papers from Dear Lizzy.  Once I had everything laid out, the real fun began. Which flair should I use? Well, after sifting through my bright stripes, polka dots and other colorful patterns, I landed on the Smash Phrases flair. Check out those cool sentiments. "Believe in Yourself" and "Follow your Dreams"? How much more perfect could they be? The real 'a-ha' moment was remembering I had the Graduation Flair . Big DUH to me! Anyway, as always, these flair add just the right detail to all of my pages!

Thanks so much for taking a look today. you can find out more info about this page on the Get It Scrapped blog and my blog as well. See you next time!

 

3rd grade - layout by Riikka

Heippa, is this layout looking familiar? I showed a similar one titled "2nd grade" in the beginning of the month. I also then said that there's a twist with the page and now you can see it. As I wanted both of my girls to have a chance to document their thoughts about the start of the new school year, I did a double page. Both of the layouts have an envelope to hold the journaling.

I worked with the pages simultaneously and they were actually taped together in the beginning. I used similar layers and mediums when doing the pages and cut the two loose from each other only after the background was done. Even the paper layers are done together!

I used orange in this page and blue in the other as those were the colors my daughters chose themselves. I asked them to pick a color that fit school in their opinion. It was fun that they actually picked opposite colors! I let the colors mix around the seam, but otherwise followed their choice of color in the page. The two pages have same patterned paper as the background, though, to keep the double page cohesive, but they work as individuals, too. 

What the two pages also have in common is two flair sets I used to embellish the layouts. Naturally I couldn't do a layout about school without the "Back to School 2" set. The other set I used in both pages is the "Retro Little Girl" - I managed to find a girl with a fitting color palette to them both!

For this orange layout I also used a dot patterned flair form "Primary Circles" set and a glasses one from "So Retro 3". The latter is because my older daughter just got glasses in the beginning of summer. 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hopefully August has been good for you! I'll see you again next month!

..:: back to school ::.. with orange gearle

Hi friends! Orange Gearle here with a layout using a piece of flair from the Hashtag Summer Flair Set. I don't know about you, but it is sooooo back to school time here. I am a teacher by day, so I have been spending a lot of time getting ready for the new year.  These photos  are of my daughter starting 2nd grade last year. You know what that means, she starts third grade in a few days. How is that possible? Here is my layout:

I thought the #cool flair fit perfectly for this layout. First of all, cool and school rhyme. ;-) Also, it was the perfect pop of color. I have used several pieces of flair from this set --  I love them!  Here are a few close ups:

I used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe and I had my Silhouette Cameo poke holes in my card stock for me so I could stitch the background. It was fun (and took a few hours -- what was I thinking?)!

I had a lot of fun making this layout, and I made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!

..:: best friends ::.. with orange gearle

Hello! Orange Gearle here with a layout for you using several pieces of flair from the {a flair for buttons} etsy store!  Here is my layout:

I started with white card stock and created a background with a stencil and some Shimmerz Paints.  Then I added all kinds of goodies from various Vick Boutin collections to embellish these two photos of my daughter and her very best friend. 

The whole idea of this layout can be summarized by the above quotes that I found. 

Sometimes I find it difficult to work with black and white elements, but always I appreciate it in the end. This was a really fun one to make.

I used flair from Summertime Flair 1 set, Sloth Love Flair set, and the Tropical Vacation 2 Flair set. I also made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy.

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  Summer LO's are always the most fun to make right?  I get so many photos during the summer.  There also seems to be a lot of summer themed products out there including flair buttons.  Sooo much to choose from in the store!

For this LO I used the Hello Sunshine collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and a cut file from Paige Evans.

Here's some close ups of the flair buttons:

2nd grade - layout by Riikka

Hei! It's August and schools start again soon. This was my main inspiration for the two monthly projects this time.

This layout is about my younger daughter who will start the 2nd grade this autumn. We start the school quite late here in Finland - pre-school starts when the child turns six and school on the year when child turns seven. So my daughter started school last year and this year it's the second grade and I think the start might be partly easier and partly harder than last year. Easier as the school and the route are already familiar but now the novelty is gone which in her case might cause trouble. As you can see from the photo, she's a little clown and somewhat easily bored. But she adores her teacher so I guess it all be good.

I started the page with mixed media touches and used school related elements like letters and little stickers. I also needed to add a couple of flairs from the "Back to School 2" set, because they fit the theme so perfectly. I also used a sweet little girl flair from the "Retro Little Girl" set and a typewriter from "LoVe yOU".

There's also a little twist with this page, or actually two. As you might spot, there's no visible journaling. It's because I added an envelope to the side of the page so my daughter could make her own journaling telling about her expectation and thoughts about the new school year. The other twist you can see later this month when I share my second monthly project. 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Our Captured Memories

This year is all about my One Little Word "DISCOVER".  I'm trying to incorporate that in all area of my life.  I thought it would be fun to step outside of my comfort zone to work out my "Shabby Chic" muscle.  I used some vintage patterned paper, diecut pieces, stamps and even stencil & paint to build the background / layout.  The paint blends into the paper, so only if you stare very closely will you spot it.

Shelley has designed quite an array of flairs for all craft styles, and today I decided to use two on this layout.  They help complete that Shabby feel, and can be found in the A Flair For Buttons shop that has been on a summer hiatus and is scheduled to open its door in the next couple of days.

I hope you will take some time this week to dust off your hoarded flairs and use them on a project. 

Happy Crafting!

Beautiful

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  I'm kinda funny with my flair buttons, sometimes I feel like my LO's just need that one button to complete it and then sometimes I think it needs 5!  LOL  With this wreath design it was so easy to add 5!  I just love the height and texture they add to my LO's!  I used the Doodlebug Hello collection.  

Let's take a closer look at those buttons, I really could have used any of the ones in my stash!

Aren't these the sweetest?

Thanks for stopping by!

Grillin' and Chillin'

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  I love summer for a number of reasons (the heat is not one of them... I much prefer the temperatures of spring and fall). But... hubby's barbering... that I love!  I think that BBQ foods are some of my favorites.  What about you?  

Anyways, that is what inspired this card:

Isn't it fun? So... when I saw the BBQ themed flair, I had to have them.  The paper from Echo Park worked well here.

I cut the apron using my Silhouette. 

I wanted the chalkboard look flair to mimic a label on the apron.  I then stamped and colored the beer (Unity Stamp Co.).

To complete the theme, I fussy cut the fun banner from the pattern paper and then added the hamburger flair.  

This would make a great guy card don't you think?

Sweet summer cards by Riikka

Hiya, has your summer been sweet so far? It's Riikka here today to share a set of two pastel summer cards with you. The idea to these came from the sweet "Retro Little Girl" set with ice cream, milkshake and pastel tones. I did add a cake from the "Animal Tea Party" as well, as it looked sweet and delicious, too. 

Both of the cards are done in a similar way even though they have different color schemes. The one above has a blue shades inspired by the ice cream flair I used in it and the one below is mainly in green to highlight the pink flowers and flair I chose to decorate it with. 

The cards have a mixed media influenced backgrounds and then a die cut doily shape on top with a lot of flowers and two flair buttons each. I used sequins and epoxy stickers to finish both cards as they reminded me about sprinkles you could use to decorate an ice cream.

So have fun in the sun, enjoy the summer and get yourself a scoop of delicious ice cream! Thank you for stopping by today!

Red White & Blue

Hey there! It's Devra here today. I have a fun, silly project to share with you today. A co-worker and I came to work in almost identical outfits. Of course we had to take a photo. So then of course I had to scrapbook the photos!

 

The giant title says it all!  It's the 4th of July cut file from Paper Issues. I used flair from 3 different sets to complement each color.

What a perfect pair, The Selfie flair from the Comic Words 1 set sits right next to, you guessed it, our selfie

Tucked next to the white like a fireworks burst is a piece from the Noted Flair 1 set

Lastly, next to the bottom photo I had to use a piece from the Stars & Stripes set. It has all three colors tying them all together. 

 Thanks for taking a look today! See you next time :-)
