..:: favorite circles ::..

Hi Friends! I am  up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this layout using three pieces of flair from the Geo Love Flair Set. I am using mostly Pinkfresh Studio papers from the Flyover States July kit from Paper Issues.

I started by formatting my photo in Photo Shop so that it was shaped like a circle and just under 3 inches. Then I used my 3 inch punch to punch my photo out with a bit of a white border.

The Pinkfresh studio paper from their Office Hours collection had tons of circles on it -- so I punched them out as well using my 1, 1.5, and two inch paper punches. I also punched some tiny circles that I'm going to guess are 1/2 inch or smaller! I splattered some inks for pops of color, and then I sprinkled the circles across the page and added my flair! I mean you cannot have a circle layout without flair, right?

This flair matches the colors of this collection perfectly!

When I shared this photo as an instagram post I titled it "some of my favorite circles", which became the title for this layout. I made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy!

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

..:: summer ::..

Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this summer layout! I am also participating in Audrey Yeager's Summer Scrappin 2019 YouTube fun -- and I'm her guest on day 6 of her 21 days of summer scrap videos.   Here is a look at my layout:



I used three pieces of flair in a visual triangle. The flair is from three different sets, and I think they worked quite well with the Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection. Here are a few close ups.

The piece above is from the Hashtag Summer Flair set. The pink one below is from the Primary Arrows 1 Flairset.



The last piece is my favorite! It is from the Watercolor Patterns Flairset. I am in love with the watercolor look!



I had a little problem with my title -- but I found a way to fix it. Check out my process video to see what happened!

Here is a video of how this one came together.

..:: be bold and brave ::..

Hi Friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog and my You Tube channel with this layout using flair from my favorite shop and the May 2019 Clique Kit Great Expectations. This flair is from the Brave Soul Flair set. Here is a look at my mini book.

I used a Paige Evans cut file called 1 Piece of Paper Mini Album. I added gesso and then color using mostly Shimmerz sprays. Finally, I added papers and embellishments mostly from Crate Paper's All Heart collection -- that is in the Great Expectations kit.  Here are a few more close ups.

I used stickers and die cuts from the kit (All Heart collection) as well. This was so fun to put together.

I made a few tags from the papers using my Big Shot. Some of the tags are peeking out of the book. I love that!

I have a full process video and a quick flip through (which includes a close ups of each page) on my You Tube channel if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by -- see you again soon!
