Flair Week Challenge!

Happy first Friday in April!  I have a feeling this is going to be a great month.  Let's start it out right by announcing the winner of last week's MiniMark Challenge!  Congrats goes out to Andrea Wiebe.

This week the prize pack is filled with 16 sets of the fabulous Flair, including the sets from Dear Lizzy, Letterbox, and Abode.

Here's an amazing layout from Design Team member Mary Jo for one more shot of inspiration...

Supplies: Maverick Mango (35111) – Heat Wave Paper, Ladybug (71028) – AC Cardstock, Tyler (42108) – Remarks Dimensional Sheets, Surfs Up (70061) – Heat Wave Flair, Day in the Sun (70062) – Heat Wave Flair, Wake (43380) – Minimarks Sheets, Leaf (71426) - AC Glitter Cardstock 

Mary Jo says: "When I think of “flair” I remember walking in to a TGI Friday’s restaurant and seeing the staff completely accessorized with suspenders and super cute buttons covering every inch; lots of color and fun!  What better way to personalize your look?  The same is true for American Crafts Flair Embellishments.  Flair gives you the opportunity to accessorize your layouts, cards and projects adding the perfect touch of color, style and whimsy to any project.  I was so excited to make this layout using Flair Embellishments as bingo markers (with a bingo card I created in Photoshop, but you could easily make in any photo editing software or Excel).  The summer graphics were just what I needed to help showcase the favorite photo of my twins making sandcastles!"


This layout is just too cool, Mary Jo!  And now it's your turn to rock the Flair...

1. The card or layout must be posted to an online gallery or blog with American Crafts in your supply list.

2.  You must leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your card or layout online.  You also must fill in your email address when posting your comment on this blog post.

3. Cards or layouts and links must be posted by midnight PST on Thursday, April 8.

Have fun and see you on Monday!

Love AC Flair! I used it in the center of my lollipop flowers. All items are from the Dear Lizzy line.

I loved all the AC Flair projects posted last week. It was just the push I needed to pull out some older Flair I had in my stash (from the travel line) to create this:
