Hi everyone

The Layout of the Week this week goes to Kathi.
I loved this gorgeous blue layout as soon as I saw it, the all the amazing banners, the perfect background stencilling, the shells and netting, it's all so pretty.

Congrats Kathi

Hello, Swirly Savages! It's tutorial Saturday and I will be sharing some techniques I learned using the August technique add on. The VerDAY paints by Ten Second Studio are now my favorite! The iron is my favorite. What is yours?

So, I used the VerDAY paints on the BoBunny chippy butterflies, the tags included in the add-on, the Prima gold trim, some metal trim from a past kit and even the background paper on one layout. You get the idea? You can use this stuff on a variety of things.

Here is the layout featuring the tags in the add-on and the VerDAY on the background paper.


This is the mini canvas I will be sharing with you on the video tutorial.


And, here's another layout featuring the BoBunny chippy butterflies and some of the metal trim from a past Swirlydoos kit.



Check out the video and see how I created the mini canvas as well as the alterations on the butterflies and tags.

Hi Swirly fans, it's Sunday and that means it's time for another Layout of the Week

This week the Layout of the Week goes to Ann.
This is Ann's layout for our monthly All the Flutters Challenge using the August Tranqility kit.
I just love the punched edges, the distressed gate and all the gorgeous butterflies on this layout, everything goes perfectly with this adorable photo.

Congratulations Ann :)

Hello, Swirly scrappers!

Today I will be sharing a layout made with the scraps of the August kit. Literally, I just used the paper scraps on my desk to make the background-no cutting. I dare you to try it!

So, here's the layout. I shared it during my August kit reveal but had some technical difficulties with the video itself. I am sorry for annoying you with the malfunction.



Here's a few close-ups.












And, here's the video tutorial. I would love to see you try this!

I love this gorgeous vintage ATC, with just the right amount of embellishing, and a stunning vintage photo. Congrats Cheryl!!!
