ALMOST MINE!

I am filled with joy thinking of the PINK Cricut Expression adorning my studio! Michaels is having a special so I am selling my current E ($170) and will then sell the Journey cartridge! That will cover me getting the PINK one! WOO HOO! I can just picture the PINK housing cartridge running smoothly across the paper making my cuts.....



*My 'FOLLOWING' contest for the Cricut cartridge is still going! 5 days left!* See previous post for details ;)

Can you Imagine?!

What do you think ladies?! Have you seen the demos and read all about the latest Provo Craft must have? I L-O-V-E Provo Craft from the bottom of my heart. Anything that comes from them is sure to be a hit in my book ;)

P.S. I'VE MISSED YOU! It's been a crazy month with events and re-treats for Flair and Frills. I've thought of you loyal followers everday and I'm glad to be back here with ya again after that short break!

'Fun in the Sun' 2 Page Layout Class

I LOVE how this turned out! This class will be held the first Saturday of August for $30. I used MANY embellishments, techniques and effects. I will list the details below:



These are the 2 pages together!









LEFT PAGE:
This is the title, cut with 'Mickey Font' and designed in design studio! This piece is torn from the Noteworthy book of the 'Sunkissed' line from Bo Bunny. I accented with their co-ordinating buttons and jewels, plus stamped the little burst with CTMH ink! The staples are colored green with Copic YG03.

Isn't this little bicycle just fantastic?!
It came on the paper and I used the buttons and jewels again for accents, including the clear ones on the tires. In addition, the flowers on the bike rack are emphasized with B.B.'s pebble brads. I cut the photo corners with an EK punch and added Liquid Glass on a few random dots.

Those are stacked buttons with a pebble brad on top. It has a little itcher of lemonade! LOL The wave/scalloped piece and white strip of the sun have glossLiquid Glass used on them to continue the 'wet look' through the layouts.

This photo just shows the dimensions of the page. All of the cardstock bases are Bo Bunny Dots card stocks and therefore match perfectly! Love that ;)

PAGE 2:

This is the top right corner. The decorative squares are cut from a sheet of paper and embellished with Liquid Glass, jewels and the home-made green staples.

I made this journaling spot with Copic V06, set on a dots base. The lines are with a Martha Stweart journaling pen and the quotation marks are stamped from the BB stamp set, with Liquid Glass on top. The adorable little bird was a must have for me! I stamped him with Purple Pansy CTMH ink and colored him with Copics Y15, BG48 YG04 and YR04, then cut him out. Adorable!

This is the sprinkler piece on the paper of the bottom right corner. Bo Bunny had originally shown this paper with a few buttons and this is what it became to me! It has jewels, buttons, and Liquid Glass for a fun 'wet look'!

This is the main photo mat. The patterned paper is BB and I used a craft knife to cut the hose and tuck the mat! The hose is covered in Liquid Glass too ;) Don't you just LOVE that p.p.? It will be hard to cover with a picture so I'm glad I get to diplay it for awhile first!

That's just about all of the details! The class is limited to 10 and includes a complete package of buttons and jewels, with extra for you to keep! I really am in love with it and hope you like it too! Let me know....I'll be waiting to hear and all comments will continue to be entered in an upcoming drawing, which I'm thinking may be of some of this 'Sun Kissed' line!!! The Liquid Glass is from CTMH (available from my CTMH website at flairandfrills.myctmh.com, no www) and I purchased the Bo Bunny line from Scraps Galore will I will teach the class.

As always, if you like what you see, FOLLOW me! I'm honored that you take your time for me to share with you.

LOL Without further debut.....

Country Life: Sweet home, back woods country delight! This cartridge includes a font feature, as well as phrases and a BANNER feature! Given that I am a mid-west girl, I'll definitely enjoy this one!






































Rock Princess: TWO fonts ( a SKULL font (yes Jessica, a SKULL font) and a heart font), even a pirate cupcake! This one is teenage style super cute! I love the little cherries ;)







































Winter Frolic: Full of Winter fun! A border feature and phrases to co-ordinate with all of the snowy goodness.

TWILIGHT Class with Blackletter

Debuting here first ladies and gentleman. This is my 2 page layout celebrating the Twilight phenomonon ! This will be a 'FeatureClass' ht I am offering through Scraps Galore! I used the 'Blackletter' Cricut Cartridge for the 1st time! It was perfect for this! scroll through the details below....






The sign on the paper was just itchin' for the title ;) (and it's straight in reality)













This is the first time I've had any simulation of BLOOD on a scrapbook page! LOL The paper clip is from 'Blackletter' too.

I couldn't resist using this phrase! LOL

This is from the die cuts that come with the line, adding the tulle that I love so much!

The fence is die cut paper that is also in the line. I added the bling.

These pages managed to escape without buttons. LOL-they just didn't fit the mood! They do have quite the vampire feel to them though. If you're interested in a kit, they're $22. Just let me know. The book covers (printed on photo-gloss paper) are included.

Do you have your tickets yet?! I'm joining the girls tonight for the 8pm showing. What a wat to spend a Birthday-huh?! Remember to take pictures to include on your layouts! Happy Twilighting! ~Brynn

P.S. TEAM EDWARD!

Page Maps Class Layout with Peacock Lane and Printing Press

I am beginning a Page Maps class at Scraps Galore in July. We'll examine using sketches in our albums and build a layout based on one of them. This is the debut page for the class! I used the Peacock Lane paper line from Bo Bunny (stunning color combo.) and the Printing Press cartridge from Cricut! Remember that one?! The stamps were colored with brush markers. I used Stickles and Liquid Glass for accents as well. Sewing! Love the look of that ;) Have to have some buttons and ribbon as well! What do you think?!

This is the full page. There's room for 1, 3x5 photo and 2 wallets.

These are the stamped images.

I smeared the journaling lines on purpose to co-ordinate with the brushed/smeared edges of the paper. This photo also shows how I used the liquid glass for clear glimmer on various dots.

Elegance. That's the simple title I chose for the way the colors made me feel! I accented them with the Stickles and Liquid Glass as well (had to add a bit of SPARKLE)! The ribbon is ruffled too ;)

I appreciate you taking the time to peek! Creative blessings ~Brynn
