Using a Pencil eraser as a stamp is fun and easy for people of all ages, and one thing polka dots make me think of is pop-art and comic book art! So Using the Comic Book Flair

Lovin' some Layouts with Flair!

Happy Monday everyone!! 

Today, I'm going to share my 2nd Zappy Dots Design team project with you. This time I made a super fun scrapbook Layout with the Zappy Dots Comic Book Flair! My brother is an MMA fighter, so the words and colors of these worked perfectly. 

My brother is the one in black if you are wondering. I loved this photo, so I knew it needed to be scrapped! I made this layout an 8 1/2 x 11 so that it can be placed in my scrap binder. 

Here are some close up photos so you can see the detail of just how wonderful these flair buttons are! the colors are vibrant and easy to read, while maintaining that perfect comic book feel!

(my brother has always wanted to be a comic book hero anyhow, so now he is one!!) 

Thank you all for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I do, and if you want to wish my brother luck his next championship fight is October 12th!

This other photo is from his last title fight!

Happy crafting and check back soon for more inspiration on how to use these fun flair buttons!! Also be sure to visit the test of the Zappy Dots team my visiting our Blog, Facebook, and Store!

Zappy Dots BIG reveal!

Here we go, It's the time we've all been waiting for...

It's time to reveal my 1st Zappy Dots Design team project!  

Looking for that perfect way to store your vacation souvenirs? 

Here you have it This adorable storage system with matching Zappy Dot drawer pulls is the perfect piece to store all of your sea shells and memorabilia!

For my project I mixed two lovely sets of Zappy Dots Nautical flair buttons:
*Vintage Sailor 
*Vintage Nautical 

Other supplies:
*Dark Brown card stock
* K & Company - Travel Collection 12x12 paper
* Glossy accents (or your favorite adhesive)
* Yarn
* Buttons
* I used the 3d lori whitlock 5 drawer organizer box cutting file on my Silhouette Cameo
(If you don't have an electronic cutting machine you can find some wonderful boxes like this made of wood at your local craft and hobby store. I have seen similar items at stores such as Crafts 2000, Hobby Lobby, and even some Joann's. You could also look at yard sales and second hand shops also. 

Ok, now for the fun part...

How to turn your flair buttons into drawer pulls in 5 easy steps!

Step 1. Select your favorite flair buttons (one for each drawer pull needed), yarn, and 1 button for each flair button.

Step 2. Cut strips of yarn and thread through each button (see photo bellow)

Step 3. Fill inside of flair button with glossy accents (or your desired wet glue)

Step 4. Gently place your button with yarn threaded through into the glue (let dry over night)

Step 5.  Feed the yarn through the holes in your boxes and tie a knot. (you may cut yarn shorter at this point. See photo below for what they look like finished.) 

Enjoy your new piece of art!!
