April Pages . . . created by Sharon!

Hi Everyone!

I have been anxiously awaiting Spring and it seems to finally be here. I am very happy and excited to be sharing the layouts that I created for April! ♥  So here goes . . .

My first two pages were made with the amazing "Wanderlust" collection:

I absolutely love this gorgeous collection!  To me, it is perfect for vacation and summer photos.

♥ My First Layout:  Fantastic Getaway

I fussy cut a favorite photo of my daughter, Anne, taken back in the Summer of 2013 to use as the basis for my page.  I thought it would be wonderful to use "Seascape" as my background paper.  Isn't the paper beautiful?

I featured 2 different laces here - Lace 6 and Lace 11.  And I LOVED embossing directly on my page using the Buttercup Embossing Powder along with one of the crackle texture stamps in the "sandy" area of the background paper.

Here are some close ups:

Blue Fern Product List:

Paper: Wanderlust "Escape"

Chipboard: Wanderlust Chipboard Shapes

Embossing Powder: Buttercup

Stamp: Crackle Texture

Flowers: Chesterville Blooms

Seedlings: Glass

Lace:  Lace 6, Lace 11

♥My Second Layout:  Enjoy the Journey

I found a wonderful photo of the carousel at Bryant Park that I took during one of our visits to NYC!  I thought the lyrics from a favorite Joni Mitchell song of mine, "Circle Game," would be perfect here.  

Again, I thoroughly enjoyed using the paper from the Wanderlust Collection.  This time I picked  the flip side of "Pacific Coast" to use in my background: 

I just love these beautiful colors!!


And I decorated the chipboard carousel horse here on my page, too.

Here are some close ups:

I also want to mention that I loved working with the Ivory, Green Ivory and Antique Gold embossing powders and the Wintergreen Seedlings to create my Carousel Horse!

Blue Fern Product List:

Paper: Wanderlust "Pacific Coast" and "Memento"

Chipboard: Carousel Horse, Wanderlust Printed Chipboard Shapes

Embossing Powder:  Ivory, Green Ivory, Antique Gold

Flowers: Apricot Blooms, Chesterville Blooms

Seedlings: Wintergreen

I thoroughly enjoyed making both of these pages using Blue Fern Studios' Wanderlust

collection  - using all of their items made it a pleasure to scrap!♥

And my third page was made using the gorgeous "Remnants" collection:

♥My Third Layout: Remember this Day

I came across this treasured photo of my dad and I taken on my wedding day on March 3, 1990.  I have always loved this photo and thought that using the "Remnants" collection would be a perfect way to scrap it. 

Just gorgeous!!!

I used the lyrics from Amy Grant and Gary Chapman's song 

"My Father's Eyes."  I get teary eyed just thinking of this moment!!!

Some close ups:

I totally enjoyed using the Turkish Panel chipboard embossed with "Ivory" embossing powder!  And embossing directly on my page using the firework-like stamps from the "Christmas Collage" stamp set.

I am going to cherish this page for years to come thanks to the Blue Fern Studios products!

Chipboard: Turkish Panel, Remnants Printed Chipboard Shapes

Embossing Powder: Ivory

Romantic and colorful by Tartine Peluche

Hello everybody!
I'm back to share with you some new inspirations.

This month, two layouts of  '' In The Mood '' and one of  ''Chesterville'' ...

========================
My first one is :

*Lifetime Dream*
( In The Mood, Pensive )

For those who know me, know that I like to create or modified flowers.
I have almost the same tools as the florist...
For this layout I had fun with the Moody Florals.
The first on the top is simply heated with heat gun, as is, then I added a bling as a center.
The others are only one layer of petal folded on itself.

The butterflies are embossed with Pixie Dust. The cercle ring embossed with Ivory, then I added a bit of pink pearl ink to contrast. The first layer of  chipboard flowers is embossed with a mixt of Baby Pik and Pixie Dust, and the other one embossed in snow and over heated with heat gun and ink too.

On my heart Gold Nugget seedlings.
n the center of Attic Charm Daisies flower, mix of two shades of pink: Tickled, Pink Glass and Gold Nugget too. Under the flower a piece of  Lace 12, ripped.

'' Dreamy '' is the title of one paper of the In the Mood Collection, I cut the word
on the paper and I scratched it.
'' Simply because ... '' comes from the printed chipboard sheet. I used another piece at the top of my page,  ''In The Mood ''

Butterflies in Pink Dust embossing powder and my Title ...
I did a test, not very conclusive, still pretty but not perfect ... I mixed two embossing powders, added to my chipboard with versamark and I heat it ...

My next one:

*Beautiful*
( In The Mood, Peaceful )

This paper it's really my favorite of the collection In The Mood,

I wanted to work it very romantic and especially in soft color.

So I choose to bring out the peach of the paper.

 For that, I used some die cut embossed with the embossing powder Copper. This color perfectly match with peach shades of the paper.

I could have used the flowers from the Chesterville Blooms collection, they were perfect but did not match the sweet ambiance I wanted to give. So I used the Late Winter Lilies in white.

I put Glass seedlings in my flowers, much like a flowing river

they follow a path to the bottom of my layout.

The Life round chipboard come from Garden Life Printed Chipboard, under this one another round chipboard Remnants Chipboard Printed.

With this last one picture, we can see all the shine of the embossing powder Copper and some pieces of Lace 12, that I ripped and placed under my flowers.

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.
