I am up on the <a href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/aflairforbuttons/2021/06/favorite-escape-orange-gearle.html">{a flair for buttons} blog</a> today with a layout that made all about one of our "favorite escape" spots -- the beach! For this layout I used flair from 3 different flair sets and Amy Tangerine's Brave & Bold Collection. Here is a look at my project:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-popup"></a><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56545200c-popup"><img alt="IMG_1748" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56545200c img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56545200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1748" /></a><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-popup"></a></p>
<p>Lots of color and lots of circles! The flair below came from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/238466847/tropical-vacation-2-flair?ref=rv_more-1-17">Tropical Vacation 2 Flair Set</a>. It tucked in beside the title perfectly!<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-popup"></a><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5654d200c-popup"><img alt="IMG_1748" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5654d200c img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5654d200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1748" /></a><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-popup"></a></p>
<p>The #vacation flair came from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/155352926/hashtag-summer-flair?ref=rv_more-1-16">Hashtag Summer Flair set</a>. I often like to give my flair a little next of tangled thread to sit upon.<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-popup"><br /><img alt="IMG_1748" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56539200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1748" /></a></p>
<p><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56541200c-popup"><img alt="IMG_1748" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56541200c img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56541200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1748" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, my favorite, the "good life" flair came from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/119323833/my-life-flair-set-4?ref=yr_purchases">My Life 4 flair set</a>. <a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5653d200c-popup"><img alt="IMG_1748" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5653d200c img-responsive" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5653d200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_1748" /></a><br /><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded56541200c-popup"></a>This was a fun layout to make. I made a video of my process if that suits your fancy! <br /><a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e2026bded5654d200c-popup"></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jwRa-CTRPiA" width="320" youtube-src-id="jwRa-CTRPiA"></iframe></div><br />

I chose to tell this story about my daughter receiving her placement and teacher name in a new building for the 2020-2021 school year. Usually the students find out on the last day of school, but this year was different because of the school building closure. Here is a look at how I documented this important story.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b-3qjdO8Fb9mwW5QG8AeuXCDRQmA2iYqlhpDAKiGUFI8bQsJ1FNFdVsQtU290Aqm7pE6MlP5DDbBKgExZLsy9djqN38e9iQM9zyfZOk_oRSuZdQxsdWrKsQ12cp_UUjoAGS9wDr6CEM/s1275/PIPlacementDayfull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1200" height="625" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0b-3qjdO8Fb9mwW5QG8AeuXCDRQmA2iYqlhpDAKiGUFI8bQsJ1FNFdVsQtU290Aqm7pE6MlP5DDbBKgExZLsy9djqN38e9iQM9zyfZOk_oRSuZdQxsdWrKsQ12cp_UUjoAGS9wDr6CEM/w588-h625/PIPlacementDayfull.jpg" width="588" /></a></div><p>We knew that placements would come in the mail, and thought it might be this day, so we went to the mailbox together. I took a couple of photos of her excitement. To be honest when I printed them out the first time, I accidentally printed them in black and white. So I reprinted them in color and I ended up liking the four photos together! Happy accidents are the best kind!

To start, I grabbed some white card stock and prepped it with gesso. When the gesso was dry I added seven different distress oxides (see below) straight to the page -- then added water and watched it slide down the page! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCZgXfIiv6i2KMNrMyN8xjbasDLiWQDlIpXrbMkgF-HjHNyD-CiHyT0YA774QBdx2GylRKdWfQi1sKjTEsdBwvM3hDXIkbGRwnUaEB8Cf5S7zuUUcHOiFBD3uQZR2Hvu3nhOBnHM7Nhdw/s2048/Oxides.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCZgXfIiv6i2KMNrMyN8xjbasDLiWQDlIpXrbMkgF-HjHNyD-CiHyT0YA774QBdx2GylRKdWfQi1sKjTEsdBwvM3hDXIkbGRwnUaEB8Cf5S7zuUUcHOiFBD3uQZR2Hvu3nhOBnHM7Nhdw/w328-h328/Oxides.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Once the distress oxides were dry I went back in with a blending tool and a heart stencil and added some hearts over the top, using the same colors.

Hi! Orange Gearle here with a layout for the Touchy Feely Challenge over in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1499810043590964/">Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook page</a>. For this challenge you are to use a lot of TEXTURE (like texture paste, textured paper, mesh, fabric, ribbon, etc). I decided to add texture by stitching with my machine, adding pop dots, and lots of tangled thread throughout the page. Here's a look at my take on this challenge:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZNsS8B0F2sOzDBQJ899sRMc2Af7hf-2pZkj2SKyYN6wa8C_bEJbiiJybJ29R4GTsEC9rSvS1crjFC5x8iUIkHUw7qnkoq1cdMG9JN3UlAxIKeQWATrtfrKXo-bLIklAKG9n-lC4lTnU/s1600/PIPhotog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1590" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZNsS8B0F2sOzDBQJ899sRMc2Af7hf-2pZkj2SKyYN6wa8C_bEJbiiJybJ29R4GTsEC9rSvS1crjFC5x8iUIkHUw7qnkoq1cdMG9JN3UlAxIKeQWATrtfrKXo-bLIklAKG9n-lC4lTnU/s640/PIPhotog.jpg" width="601" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor set that is available in the store, <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/mist-ink-paint/products/kuretake-gansai-tambi-12-color-watercolor-set">here</a>, to create the stripes of color behind the photo, and then stitched after it was dry. This is what all that stitching looks like up close:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As you can see, I popped all those little bits up off the page and added tangled thread under the photos. All of those little bits are from Amy Tangerine's Picnic in the Park Collection that is also available in the Paper Issues store <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/amy-tangerine">here</a>. </div>

I am up on the <a href="https://paperissues.blogspot.com/2020/07/beautiful-orange-gearle.html">Paper Issues blog</a> today with a layout using one of the Free Cut Files available in the <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/i-want-it-all">Paper Issues Store.</a> This is a fun one! The cut file is called <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files/products/stitching-flowers-background-free-cut-file">Stitching Flowers Background</a> and it cuts the holes in your paper so you can stitch! Here is my layout:<br />

The free cut file also includes the "inside" cut so you can add paper to the insides of the flowers. I chose yellow, green, red, and orange. </div>

I used the June Kit - Mystery of Love for this layout and a manual die called Rainbow Whimsy available <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/tools/products/rainbow-whimsy-metal-die-my-favorite-things">here</a>. This is my take on the lift :<br />

Lacy's original layout had cute die cut florals peeking out through the layers and behind the photo. That gave me the idea to add some manual die cut rainbows to my layout. I use <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/tools/products/rainbow-whimsy-metal-die-my-favorite-things">this die</a> and my Big Shot to cut them out. Then I glued three of the rainbow arches to vellum and added them to my layout!</div>

Hi Friends! I am up on the <a href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/aflairforbuttons/2020/07/so-excited-orange-gearle.html">{a flair for buttons} blog today</a> with this layout I made using donut flair from the Etsy shop! I also used the <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/simple-stories?page=3">Simple Stories Simple Vintage Garden District</a> collection that I purchased from the Paper Issues Store. Here is a look at my layout:<br />

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!</div>

I used the fantastic floral patterned paper for a strip down the center. Next I added some strips on either side from the 6x8 paper pad - and I used my machine to stitch it all down with red thread. Then, I grabbed some floral embellishments from the collection for my clusters.</div>

Hello Friends! I am up on the <a href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/aflairforbuttons/2020/05/lets-go-fly-a-kite-orange-gearle.html">{a flair for buttons} blog</a> today with a layout using two pieces of flair from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/598114473/watercolor-patterns-flair?ref=user_profile">Watercolor Patterns Flair set</a> and once flair button from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/238287103/tropical-vacation-flair?ref=as_recently_viewed-2">Tropical Vacation Flair set</a>. I am also working with papers from Paige Evan's Bloom Street collection and a<a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/products/carousel-kite-free-cut-file?_pos=1&_sid=0250418c7&_ss=r"> free cut file</a> from <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/">Paper Issues</a>. Here is a look at my layout:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db0a0200c-popup"><img alt="AFFBKiteFlair" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db0a0200c img-responsive" height="640" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db0a0200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="AFFBKiteFlair" width="592" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I used <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10163471075520188&set=oa.2577510059154285&type=3&theater">a sketch by Devra Hunt</a> that can be found here. Here are a few close-ups of the flair I used:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="asset-img-link" href="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db090200c-popup"><img alt="AFFBKiteFlair" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db090200c img-responsive" height="640" src="https://scrappergirl.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345210bd69e20263ec1db090200c-500wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="AFFBKiteFlair" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The piece above is from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/238287103/tropical-vacation-flair?ref=as_recently_viewed-2">Tropical Vacation Flair set</a> and I thought it made the perfect "sun" and pop of yellow. The two pieces below are from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/598114473/watercolor-patterns-flair?ref=user_profile">Watercolor Patterns Flair set</a>. 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.<br />

<br />
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:<br />

<br />
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!<br />

For this layout I chose to use <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/amy-tangerine">Amy Tangerine's Picnic in the Park collection</a> and some photos of my daughter's birthday cake from 2013!

B. said she wanted a Batman Rainbow cake. So she got it. I cannot believe I haven't ever scrapped these photos. She was very into making silly faces at the time. Here are a few close ups:<br />
