Hi, friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog with a layout using flair from the Bee Mine flair set! Here is a look at my project:

To tell this story I decided to pull the yellow out of her shirt - and create a monochromatic look. I started with a couple of  Distress Oxides (Wild Honey and Mustard Seed) to create a space to house my photo and embellishments. I love using Distress Oxides and water to create backgrounds. Here is a close up of the flair. 

I grabbed a bunch of yellow flowers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Sunkissed collection to cluster around the page. Some came from the embellishment pack and some I fussy cut from patterned papers. Finally I used a stamp designed by Vicki Boutin to create more texture and pops of black around the page.

For the title I used Elle's Studio Jordan Alpha stamps (both the Outline and the Dots & Stripes). I filled some of the letters in with patterned papers as well. 

I love how this one turned out. I also made a video of the process, if that's something that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! XO o.g.

Hi Friends!  I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this layout using three pieces of flair from the Brave Soul flair set in the {a flair for buttons} Etsy store. I am also using PinkFresh Studio's Super Cool and My Favorite Story collections, both available in the Paper Issues Store. Here is a look at my layout.

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 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.
