Fancy Pants - Must be Love

So. Real story. About a month or so ago, I decided to remove photos from old layouts.

Yes this is true.

I had at least 10 pizza boxes sitting in our bedroom with layouts in side, stacked almost to the top of my hubby's dresser. This pile had been bothering me for far too long, so I opened the untouched boxes and went to town.

I left some layouts as they were, but I would say that I took off photos from at least 25% of the pages, kept 10% of the pages and tossed the rest.

My guidelines were simple:
1) Did I have a digital copy of this photo?
2) Did I think I captured that memory?
3) Did I just plain like that page?

At any rate, now I have a bag of unscrapped photos that I love. I scrapped a few on this page here using the Flutter collection by Fancy Pants Designs. Such a pretty collection and the mix of pink with teal is perfect for these photos of my two youngest playing together.

I kept the page pretty simple. I love these photos and still remember the giggles from Lucas when Addy popped him in the nose while they were lying on the floor. A total fun carefree moment. I love the pops of gold in the Label Pack that goes with the Flutter collection. Great for layering on the strips here.

I love the almost ombre effect on this page that was easily done with just some papers from the collection. Add a few pops of gold and you are... well, golden :) Stop by the Fancy Pants Designs blog for lots of inspiration with Flutter and the three other new 2015 collections!

Kind heart, fierce mind- Fancy Pants

Good morning!!! It has been such a whirlwind around our house lately. My grandmother passed about 2 weeks ago and it has really made me think about how life really does pass you by sometimes. 

I grabbed the Fancy Pants collection Flutter and this photo of my son and got to work. Now, the Flutter collection IS pretty girly. There are lots of pink patterns...but there is a great masculine side to it too! I gravitated to those colors for this page about my oldest son.

See, lots of teal, navy and gold - with some soft touches of pink intertwined make for a masculine page. I added some Fancy Pants cork star embellishments along with buttons, stickers and a journaling card too for my title.

Those cork stars are great with a couple stickers on the centres to add a touch of colour. I know that this collection is shipping - if you haven't seen it in your local LSS = please ask for it, or you can snag some at Scrapbook.com, My Scraps and More and A Cherry On Top too!

Fancy Pants Flutter - Beautiful You

Good morning!! Last week I shared a page with you using the new Fancy Pants Office Suite Colletion and today, I have one with another new collection - Flutter. This collection is girly, with pinks, blush, yellow gold and even teal!

I created this page about my daughter with some punched circles and my watercolors. I am definitely not a watercolor expert, but I am having fun playing around with them :)

You can see that I drew pencial lines for cirlces and then added the watercolors to my white cardstock... once it was dry, I added the circles and machine stitching. Yes, I did a poor job of the pencil lines... so my public service announcement for today is to draw them LIGHTLY!! You can thank me later ;)

I finished off my page with a diecut from the collection pack and a few enamel dots from my stash!

new Fancy Pants Flutter!

How was your weekend?? Mine flew by, the boys both were in a soccer tournament, so that means 6 soccer games for us + indoor baseball spring training and 2 skating lessons too. I feel a bit like a taxi driver today :)


I am here to share with you a page I made using the new Fancy Pants Designs Flutter collection!! It is so pretty and a lot fun, I was very inspired by the fun colors, patterns and new textured papers!! they are so thick and textured, they are amazing.

Here's my page:

Lots of fun colors right? I adore that teal and pink combo... mixed with a bunch of gold and cream too. I punched several circles out of the paper pad and layered together and stitched. The new collections both have big new diecut letters, but I chose to hand cut my title from the same patterns.

That's it for me today! I hope you enjoyed a nice Valentine's day with your lovey :)
