Featuring Scrappin Happy Studio "Covid" Epoxy Flairs

Hi guys,  I'm here putting together this cute layout featuring Scrappin Happy Studio Epoxy Flairs! 

Showing off a Collection of her Covid-19 Flairs which were perfect for this layout, even though it wasn't a Covid-19 Layout!

Ok, first I'm going to say I love the versatility of her flairs! Even though she specifically made these for the Covid-19, I purchased them for this specific layout which has nothing to do with Covid-19.  A lot of her flairs you can mix and match to fit into layouts that may not be specifically for what she designed them for but works perfect for what you are laying out!

I started as I normally do with a ton of stuff pulled.  I should rename my site 'The Messy Scrapper' because I pull a LOT of stuff for my layouts!  I'm big on color and that's how I plan out my layouts. I choose a photo and pic a color or two and then start pulling from my stash anything that has those colors.  I also like to keep the theme the same (although I will go slightly off of theme if it really matches the colors and makes it pop)! I can tell you I always pull more than I use...you just never know what's going to work😀

I wanted to make this a multi-photo layout because the pics told the story.  I mounted each smaller picture to 2 separate papers (once card stock and one from a paper pad) and used the same papers for the 4x6 picture as well. I aligned the 3 smaller pictures like a photo strip and placed the larger photo to the right.

The title of Be Brave was perfect because the look on her mom's face was priceless! I added a journaling card that said "TOTAL BUMMER" from a back I got in a Traveling Box over on our FB group (feel free to join so you don't miss out on the fun)!  Those cards are snarky and I love them! They came in 2 different sizes and this one fit perfectly. I added some stickers, a wood veneer pencil and one of the epoxy flairs from Scrappin Happy Studio.  I adhered it at an angle and then added a flag/banner "FOR THE RECORD" to the last small photo and added the THERMOMETER flair at the bottom corner.  I added a cute chipboard sticker flower and the cut file (I had backed several months ago to go with another layout but it didn't work out so I kept it and bam! It worked amazingly well for this layout)!  

I got these cute tiny stickers from our Traveling Box (really, these boxes are amazing so head over to our

FB page and sign up), and used them for a second mini title.  I used the check circle woodveener on the bottom of the photo along with a pencil sticker I backed with foam adhisive for some dimension.  At the top of the 4x6 photo I added a sticker (backing it with foam tape) FROM THE DESK OF: Doodles, MD.  I added another epoxy flair in the center on a square sticker.

Well there you have it, how I used Covid-19 flairs for a totally different layout. I hope you enjoyed this layout as much as I enjoyed creating it!  Thanks for stopping by and reading all about my BE BRAVE layout and see below for some of the items I used to put this together.

First Layout for Calvinball 2020!

Hey guys, I'm on the blog showcasing my double layouts that I did for CalvinBall 2020 this year!  If you don't know what CalvinBall is you are missing out!  It's a FB group that happens once a year, all month long (March).  You get a new challenge daily with bonus points, and the person with the most points at the end of the challenge gets bragging rights all year!  Last year I think someone had over 3,000 points!

Today I managed to squeeze out 12.5 points for this double layout.  I'm really feeling yellow this week...this is the 2nd layout I've done with yellow!  I will list everything below and include some links for you.

I started out with a 12x12 black heavy card stock for the back and added a paper from a paper pad I had gotten beginning of last year for both pages.  I was doing a lot of my son's baby pictures and this pad was all about babies.  To be honest I didn't think I would EVER use this particular page but...it works!  Then I added a heavy bright yellow card stock that I cut an each of each side so it fit nicely in the middle of that cute zoo animals page!

On the first page I used a cut file from Kreative Cuts Club and stamped using my awesome rubber stamps (sorry guys but I don't know the font on that) and used white pigment ink (another point for CalvinBall).  I added the black foam/sticker stars (that was a bonus point) had a super cool zoo sticker pack that included a puffy rhino.  It also included super fun circle letters in the same colors (which just so happens to match that amazing yellow card stock)!

I backed the photo with heavy black card stock and then added the frame and the epoxy flair (so cute right)?  Then I stamped the journaling square at the top.

On the second page I used the same black card stock to back the photos and used the foam/sticker stars, the cut FUN epoxy flair from Scrappin Happy Studio added the SATURDAY from sticker and finished it up with those cute zoo stickers I found at the dollar store.

Items I used:

FUN epoxy flair - Scrappin Happy Studio 

Road Sign Cut File - Kreative Cuts Club

Foam/Stamp Stars - Dear Lizzy

Frame - PinkFresh Studio

Zoo Stickers - Dollar Store

Well that's it! Thanks so much for joining me on my blog for my first layout on the Calvin Ball Challenge!  If you haven't joined Calvin Ball 2020, head over to their FB page (from March 1st March 31st).

Happy Scrapping!

Camp Site Collection - with Scrappin Happy Studio Flairs

Hi guys, I'm here doing a layout using the newest release of Scrappin happy Studio Flairs called Camp Site Colletion!

My son and daughter-in-law took my grand daughter to Starkey park in Florida to do a "camp site" photo shoot. If you don't live in Florida you wouldn't understand that this is as close to camping as most people want to get in the summer.  It's too hot, humid and full of misquotes!

I thought it was a cute photo shoot and I loved this picture so much, but me not being a camper myself, I didn't really have any "camping" scrapbooking items. No Ephemera, no paper, no flairs, no sayings...or did I?  Well, I didn't until I saw the new Camp Site collection at Scrappin Happy Studio...and then I did!  What a fun collection and a few of them could be used for other non camp site photos as well! 

I started off by pulling the papers I wanted to use. I'm a big visual/colors person.  I love to keep the theme but the colors are what I really work off of.  Colors and patterns...if it doesn't "fit" it doesn't sit (and get glued down).

As soon as they arrived I was super excited but still didn't know what else I was going to pull out to go with the theme and colors.  But once you have a photo and start with an item (my item being the flairs), papers, colors, ephemera packs, chipboard stickers...they all start calling my name!  I had so much that I didn't even know I had that worked for this camp site scene!

Here is a list of items I used to put this layout together!  I hope you enjoyed looking at it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!  

FLAIRS= SCRAPPIN HAPPY STUDIO
PAPER= October After noon - Sandcastle collection

STARS= Bella BLVD

TAGS=Bella BLVD, Jillibean Soup,
