Hi everyone!

Popping in to share my latest design team project for Flutterby Designs with you. This 12x12" mixed media page was created using the 'Any Direction' collection. This range was released some time ago, and it's perfect for travel and adventure photos - just like these (insane) shots of my hubby mountain climbing recently. 

You may remember my page with the watercolour background I shared in my last post on the Flutterby blog? (You can find it here) I was still feeling the watercolour vibe, and the map card in this collection inspired me to create another. I started by adding some texture paste around my page using my 'Bubble O'Fun' stencil, then used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts (Paris, Peacock and Navy) to create the gorgeous mixed blues and greens background.

I used a combination of Everyday Etc cards from 'Any Direction', along with some assorted filler cards from other collections and some frayed gauze to create a layered photo mat. I also added the explore wood veneer for my title. 

I added a couple of tabs above my photos - holy shitballs from the recent Sentence Enhancers page tabs; and I do all my own stunts from the bright tabs #1. To help highlight my photos, I used a small green frame from the 'Mad About You' photo cut out, which I cut in half and tucked under either side. Alongside my photo I added a wood veneer geotag as well.

Below my photo, was the feature quote card replace fear of the unknown with curiosity. This couldn't have been a more perfect card for this page. Not only does it feature a picture of mountains; but my hubby was (until quite recently) afraid of heights! (And look at him now scaling the sides of mountains with no ropes!)

I highlighted the quote by adding a Charms Creations arrow, which I topped with the live your life flair button (from set #171). I also added some of my fave 'Confetti Circles' wood veneers.

To finish off, I stamped the word adventure around my page and splattered a bit of mist about. 

If you have some travel photos to scrap that you haven't gotten around to yet, make sure you check out the 'Any Direction' collection. 

Thanks for stopping by today so I could share this with you. I'll be back again soon with another project for you. Until then, happy scrapping! X
