Soft and Silky by Christy Strickler Supplies| Patterned Paper, Flair, Flashcard: Jenni Bowlin; Alphas: My Little Shoebox, Sassafrass; Die Cuts: October Afternoon; Stamp: Basic Grey; Embossing Powder: Ranger; Other: buttons, feathers; Created for Get It Scrapped
Normally, I don't hang onto items that I won't use. However, I also found a Rooster flashcard and an older stamp in my supplies. I created a country look to the layout with the soft floral paper, vintage style die cuts, feathers and old buttons. My son kept wanting to touch the chickens. This inspired my title and the desire to use the feathers. To add sound to the layout, I created a flower with the flair badge, a die cut, and some tiny type alphas. The word cluck has been used several times around the base of the flair badge.
Flair is often themed. It's easy to use it just the way it is on any layout. It can also be used symbollicaly. I could, for example, have used this rooster flair on a layout about waking my son up in the morning or maybe even a special breakfast. Many flair items are small enough to use in custom embellishments. This allows you to further unite your story with sound or texture as you build the layout.
Looking for more flair? Here are a few other recent layouts I created utilizing flair badges:
Scrapbooking a Treasured Friendship
Sour End to a Sweet Day
MultiMedia Kid
