February inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans. Vera Shelemekh is here to inspire you with the new amazing In the Mood collection. I have prepared two layouts and one traditional off the page project.

So help yourself with a cup of tea and some cookies and enjoy the beauty of In the Mood papers and printed chipboards.
I'll start the journey with a wedding layout. There was no chance not to make a romantic and tender page with many fussy cut roses and lace and sparkling sentiment.
In the Mood Mellow paper became the backgroung for this project.

The chipboard frame and branches are embossed with Icicle powder. Under the frame you may notice the brand new Lace 11

 The sentiments on the printed chipboard are so sweet, just perfect for the story.

 The title is covered with Fool's gold glitter.

 And I added gold nugget seedlings here and there.

The other layout is also about relationship but this time I made my little son and hig girl friend play the main role) The picture was taken about 5 years ago in the street. The car is the present from my son's God father.

I picked In the Mood Dreamy back side as background and added pieces of Paisley and Vine papers.

  The frame is decorated with washi tape.

 I used a lot of Iridescent grey and Icicle  powder to emboss the chipboard embelishments. And some hearts are covered with Fire Engine glitter.

 I can't imagine my layouts without seedlings. Here you may notice Flaming.

January inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hey Blue Fern Studios fans! Vera Shelemekh is here for another wonderful creative term :)

Let me write a couple of words about myself for those who has recently joined the blog.

I'm Russian living and working in Moscow - the capital city. I'm a big fan of scrapbooking, papercrafting and quilting. I can't imagine my crafty space without paper and scissors.

Almost all of my layouts are telling stories about my family which consists of two young men: my 6 year old son and my hubby.

Scrapbooking is not only my hobby. It is my job and my lifestyle. I own a small shop on Etsy and occasionally teach people papercrafting.

You can find more information about me on social media:

Last year I started to make my Wedding album with amazing Blue Fern Studios papers and embelishments but I feel like I need more layouts to achieve the goal. So today I will share some new wedding layouts with Remnants papers and printed chipboards.

The first one is experimental as I've never made layouts with huge photos.

I've taken Remnants - Devonshire for the background and embelished it with Remnants printed chipboards, the fence covered with Antique gold embossing powder and leaves covered with Lime and Aocado embossing powder.

 

 With some Meadow seedlings, Apricot and Heartland blossoms and Lace the layout looks full of tender feelings.

The other layout is more brutal, One of the photo locations was a brick wall so I tried to imitate the pattern on the background with the help of Essental Textures stamp and the new Ivory Embossing powder.

 

To the background I also added butterflies with the Stamp - Garden Frolic

And for the dessert today I prepared two Valentine cards for someone really special. 

I switched my attention to the amazing Heartland collection which I love with all of my heart. 

Heartland - Bicycle for Two and  Red Rose Ball as background and for fussy cutting.

 

And the Angel is cut from Heartland Love notes. I covered hearts and  vine chipies with the mix of lime and avocado embossing powder. I also added some Mauve seedlings here and there and bits of Lace 3

 And of course you have noticed the Fresh florals.

January Inspiration by France Ringuette

Good morning bloggers,

First, let me introduce myself.

My name is France, I am a french Canadian living in the Montreal area of Canada. I am blessed to have 2 young adult boys and a loving husband. You'll see thru my 2018 projects that my family and our passion for traveling are often the focus points of my projects. I also work in Marketing in the Medical device field. Crafting is my relaxation. I enjoy mainly making scrapbook pages, but you will also see me making cards, tag, art journals and mixed media canvases.

Please come say hi, it's always fun to meet new crafty friends.

Sweet Dreams (Layout #1)

 The inspiration from this page started with this amazing paper in the Remnants collection called Devonshire. I fell in love with the printed flowers and birds on this particular page.

I started playing with my chipboards by adding seedlings to cover them, I have to say that I was very pleased with the results and love the dimension this brings to the layout. I used Meadow seedlings.

The title, oh what color to chose is always a challenge I find. I was intrigued by this new embossing powder called Night Sky, at first, I wasn't certain it would have a fit on a boy's page but at the end I enjoy the contrast that it has with the Meadow seedlings, so I opted for this color.

The center of the Remnants bloom flowers has a slight yellow highlight that I covered in white gesso, then glued a mix of mauve seedlings and red wine glitter. The results are amazing.

Around my picture I used night sky embossing powder with weathered doilies stamp set. On my chipboard circle flourish small frame, I used one of the new colors green ivory. 

Once my layout is done, then I added touches of red wine and icicle glitter to my flowers and some on the paper.

Remember this Day : Sintra Portugal (Layout #2)

If you enjoy traveling and you've never ben to Portugal, trust that this needs to be added to your bucket list. Sintra is a beautiful city that has amazing Unesco sites that are spectacular to visit. When I looked at the stunning paper from the REMNANTS collection, I knew it was perfect for this picture. This paper is Bloomsbury, I loved the old books look at the detailed printing of the flower and clock.
The title is part of the Remnants chipboard series and so perfect for a capturing any precious moment.

I wanted to add a bit more red to the page, so I chose to work with a stencil, light molding past and this amazing Garnet embossing powder. Once the embossing was done, I wanted to add more stamping to the background. I chose to use the Vintage Edges stamp set.

I love adding flowers to my projects, on this layout I added some from the Remnants Bloom and Floral Collections. I also cut out some flowers from the amazing lace 4 set.

For the chipboard, I inked the Shabby Brick bits. Once my layout was almost completed, I added the final touches with splatters of inks, white gesso and touches of Sterling Silver Seedlings.

Love (Layout #3)

 I just loved this picture of my niece with the new born son Ayden, I've been enjoying making many pages for her recently. I have to say that this one is simple but oh so happy about how it turned out.

The starting point was this amazing paper from the Happy Accident collection called Incident. I love textured backgrounds and this one does the work for you, so rich in details, I opted not to alter it and just build layers.

I selected to emboss the Chicken Wire Panel with Blue Sky embossing powder. I did the same with the Love title chipie.

On my flowers, I opted to add some touches of white gesso and Blue Ice glitter.
