Life's Vignettes Scrapbook Layout

 Hello Blue Fern Fans,  how's everyone doing?  We have another beautiful collection created by the amazing and talented Jen Bishop,  Life's Vignettes!  The designs and colors are so gorgeous,  I couldn't wait to create with this collection!  

I created a set of layouts,  the first one is my favorite of the two.  The second one I recorded a step by step tutorial with similar details. 

I did alot of fussy cutting and ink distressing on the layout.  I also made some vellum flowers and did a few doily diecuts.  Although this layout looks simple,  it took me hours to create and I love how it turned out!

I used some crocheted doilies and cheesecloth from my stash that helped create my textured background.

I added Lace number 81 on the top and bottom with paper punched black cardstock peaking through.

The butterfly is fussy cut from the collection,  that's one of my favorites!  

I added beads,  Blue Fern Studios Magenta embossing powder (which I thought was just regular glitter) but it was perfect for adding sparkle!  For the final touch I added Blue Fern Studios Gold Nugget seedlings,  love me some microbeads!

For the vellum flowers I added Finnabair waxes in 3 different shades hoping it would match the colors in this collection.

Here is the second layout with a step by step tutorial!

I basically created the layout using the same details just a different design.  You can view my step by step tutorial at the end of this post if you'd like to follow along!

Well after creating the set of layouts I'm ready to get out this collection and create another project! Be sure to stay tuned for another project soon!

We love to hear your thoughts on this collecion and want to see your beautiful projects

so be sure to share them with us on Facebook at Blue Fern Fanatics on Facebook!

Here is the step by step tutorial on youtube!

Happy Creating and have an amazing crafty day!

Happy Together Layout

Hello all, it's Aida from @aidaville  and today I'm back with a layered layout featuring the ever gorgeous Blue Fern Studios lace. If you are into shabby, pretty projects and makes, adding lace will surely give them a boost of lovely texture. 

Here are the products I used :
Blue Fern Studios supplies :
Papers : 
Happy Accident #2 - Chase  |  Damsel

Remnants : Callaway

Lace : #1 and #2

Remnants Printed Chipboard

Assorted Blue Fern Florals

Others :

9"x7" flat back Canvas
Collage Medium, Acrylic Paints, Water Soluble Crayons, White Gesso, 

I began with 6'x6' patterned paper and started building the central piece of the layout on it. Photos should always be the focus of layouts and I chose to adhere it slightly to the left to create space for a title or embellishments.

From this point, I played around with the lace pieces and florals till I was happy with how the embellishments fitted into the layout.

I love the neutral colour of the lace as this makes it very easy to match the papers and florals, just look how the sewn on sequins add a touch of pretty sparkle !

The title to the right of the photo is from the Remnants Printed Chipboard popped up with foam squares.

The orange blossoms give the layout a bright happy feel. To create a shabby appeal, I lightly brushed the florals with watered down gesso and dried them with a heat tool.

Finally, to frame the focal piece, I mounted it on a canvas collage using a patterned paper and Lace #2, glued to the lower end with collage medium After it dried, I then lightly brushed a coat of white gesso and pale pink.

This layout was so much fun to make as pretty Blue Fern Studios products are an inspiration and makes the process amazingly easy.

I hope you will make something pretty in the weekend ahead. I'll see you soon and remember to come back for more ideas from the rest of the Design Team !

New inspirations with Tattered Walls + Mini Album :)

Hello sweeties!
I'm so excited to share with you my inspirations this month, because I've made my first ''mini album'', and I'm proud of this. I used Tattered Walls for my two inspirations.
I've not yet receive my new collection Happy Accident 2, but stay tuned for inspirations next month.

************************************

Our Big Adventure
( Tattered Walls )

I used a paper from Amber & Apricot collection with my paper of Tattered Walls collection.

I choosed to mixed them because the paper Yesteryear from Amber & Apricot have a little flowers yellow inside the design.

A mix of yellow flowers : Attic Charms Glitters Roses, and under the Fresh Florals the light yellow lillies frm Wanderlust Lilies kit....
And the deer ... so much tiny, it's cut from an old Christmas chipboard and embossed with OATMEAL

Can you see the seedlings? They are translucent, so cute on my background.

And here is my mini album ...

At The Coast
( Wanderlust, Tattered Walls )

Last summer the kids of my boyfriend went on a trip to the Magdalen Islands, with their mother. I created a mini album to keep the memories of this unforgettable summer.

My title is embossed in two part, first I embossed the half with snow embossing powder. In second part I added, on entire chiboard At The Coast ,14 Karats embossing powder, which gives as final result two shades of gold. I stamped on a white paper lot of Wanderlust Stamps and I cut them out to use as embellishement.

I used Serendipity REMINISCE for the background of the interior of my album. I think it's a perfect mixte with the old pink and the black color of the Tattered Walls collection. For the decorations I played with the EPHEMERAS of the collection.

One of my favorite stamp, I love how this little arrow make also a letter X.

''Travel'' is embossed with 14 karats embossing powder. added to this a stamps from ''For the Bird'' stamp kit, and a stamp from ''Arrived'' cut in a pieces.

For the Birds and Dispatch stamps mixed together make a pretty embellishment.

And a small butterfly from the stamp Bourbon Street ...

Again small pieces of stamps cut out and a piece of ephemera.

And look at the front cover, I used the wanderlust paper '' SOUVENIR ''
which reminds the design of a road map.
