My November's layouts with the Mémoires Collection by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

My turn to share with you some layout with the Memoires collection.  What a beautiful collection to play with!  One of my absolute favorite!  

Angel:

My first layout is the one I have made for the November challenge.  You have to use a chipboard title from Blue Fern Studios.  So much beautiful chipboards to choose from! This layout featured my little boy, my little angel, Léo.


For my layout, I choose the Tale of treasures paper from the Memoires collection.  With the neutral tones of this paper, the possibilities are endless.


On my background, I use the grungy grid stamp set.  Love the texture it brings.  I use the Crackled Bits chipboard set too.  I alter those chipboard with the Imagine Ink Sand and sea Embossing powder.  I


I use the word Angel from the Baby Words chipboard set. First, I ink it in black. I found it to dark on  my layout. So, I add some white marker and some turquoise ink. I was much more happy with the result.  I add some flowers:  Harvest Lilies  and the  Dark tropic Lilies.

Special, adorable, Perfect

For this second layout, I also used the Memoires collection.  The paper I used is Calling Cards.



On this layout I mixed two different set of title sets: Perfect, adorable, special and good vibes.  I just inked them with black ink.  I also used two sets of chipboards :  Techno rings and Industrial gears.  altered them with Imagine Ink Embossing powders in Copper, Chili Powder, Breeze and Seven Seas.  


On my background, I use the Scratched stamp set with  black ink and the Grungy Grid Stamp set with turquoise ink.


Finally, I had some beautiful Blue Fern Studios Flowers: Late Winter Lilies and Memoires Blooms.

Sourire

The Mémoires collection is just perfect for fall layout.   It was the perfect paper to compliment the picture of Mathilde in the pumpkins field.


I use the  Chronicles paper, the remember when paper from the Memoirs collection.  Also had the adobe paper from the timeless collection.


I also use Blue fern flowers:  Late winter lilies, tranquil blooms and  Memoires blooms. 


I love the pretty pumpkins chipboard on that layout.  First, i add a coat of gesso and the chipboard and glue them on the Couture paper from the Timeless collection (I have previously put clear gesso on it).  Once they are dry, I cut them and add color the pumpkins with watercolours.

 
For my title, I use the sourire chipboard.  I put a coat bof gesso and add watercolours. I did the same process with the Organic vine.



hope you enjoy those layouts and that they insured you to play with the wonderful Mémoires Collection,

Marie-Eve

Masculine Layouts with Einat Kessler

Hey crafty friends Einat Kessler here with some masculine layouts for your inspiration!
My first layout lets the chipboard speak out loud. The layout is all about a day in the science museum with my two boys.






Creating a masculine layout can sometimes be challenging, but I look at it like any other layout. I try to use more masculine colors and chipboards and not make its look too feminine with flowers or cutesy embellishments.




Having said that...my other layout has plenty of flowers on it. Who says you can't add flowers to a boys' layout? You can! I just try to keep them in the more masculine color scheme and avoid pink :)




BFS Supplies:
Papers:
Sanctuary: Bountiful
Sanctuary: Birdsong Melody
Chipboard:
Techno Rings
Industrial Gears
Roman Clock Set


Have fun creating!

Two off-the-page projects and a layout by Marie-Josee

Hello all!

I hope you are having a great summer so far. Here, it's been wonderful. I spent most of my time outside, but still managed to create a few projects for Blue Fern Studios. Here they are! :)

Angel canvas

To create this canvas, I used a chipboard from the Turkish Bits set. I glued it to my canvas, applied gesso on top with a sponge and added color with Silks Acrylic Glazes and three different colors of spray.


Once dry, I stamped words with black ink on top of my chipboard.

I also cut circles out of the Shannon's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams collection and colored each circle with Silks Acrylic Glazes. You can still see the pattern, because the Silks are translucent.



Birdhouse

I used my Silhouette Portrait to create this tiny birdhouse. I bought a file from the Silhouette Online Store and used the Parlour paper from the Blue Fern Garden collection as a base.


Then, I tore pieces of the Charlotte's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams collection to add texture to the roof.


I put the house on a chipboard from the Lace Rounds set and added gesso here and there. I then sprayed the whole thing with brown and teal mists.



August sketch

And here's my take at the August sketch, which was featured on the blog on August 1st. I used the Techno Rings, the word "Sunshine" from The Optimist Word Set and various papers from the Ombre Dreams collection.

Jackie's August Creations

Hello Blue Fern Fans! Jackie with you today to share my August creations with you.

We are experiencing an amazing summer here on the West Coast of Canada, and the long, hot, sunny days, and the sunshine and blue skies inspired the colours for this first layout.


One of the things I love about Blue Fern's panels is the ability to cut them apart into pieces that I can spread throughout my layouts. For this layout I started with the Number Grid Small, which I primed with Gelatos then coloured randomly in blue, yellow and mint green, and cut apart into one big piece to back my photo and two smaller pieces for my corners.


These little bits look good embellished with flowers or just on their own.


On both of my layouts this month I've layered on several layers of chipboard. Because chipboard is so lightweight and can be altered in so many ways, it is easy to make a striking composition using several different pieces. On top of the Number Grid I placed some of the Techno rings. To get the water-stained effect, I first sprayed the rings with a couple colours of brown mists, then stamped overtop with a number stamp.


For my last layer, the title, I cut one of the 3s out of the Number Grid and cut the "Boys" from the Boys Will Be Boys chippy.

My second layout has a softer palette, inspired by the colours in my photo.


I started by adding some texture to the background inspired by the printed images on the paper with paint, texture paste and stamping. I love how multilayered the images on the papers are - it makes it so easy to add custom background work.


 For this layout I also layered multiple chippies. The top layer is the word "Perky" from The Optimist Words set, which I treated simply with green chalk ink.


 The next layer is the Spring Branch, which I painted with several colours of chalk ink to create dimension for the bark and leaves before adding a couple of flowers.


My last layer is the Floral Clock. I fussy cut the "Timeless Beauty" section from a second sheet of Timeless paper, and used the clock hands from the Floral Clock to top it off. The Floral Clock itself is behind the paper, providing an ornate frame.


 To add a little dimension to the Floral Clock, I first dry embossed it, then painted it with several colours of metallic paint.

Round & Round Circular Designs- by Keren Tamir



Keren here and its my turn today on the Blue Fern Studios blog. I have an all around theme this month which is "Circles". I have used different circular designs this month to create each of my layouts. I hope they inspire you to create with circles and love them just as much as I do!!!

First up is:

"Good Vibes"

I used the Ombré Dreams- Leslie's Dream paper as a background for this layout.


I just love using circular designs on my layouts and I tried to incorporate different circle motifs in each of these layouts. I also used stencils and stamps to create different textured circles in the background.


I framed this cute photo of my daughter picking strawberries in the field with the treasured floral chipboard frame. I primed it with gesso and then colored it with markers.


Then I added circles from the Circle Group set which were coloured in yellow marker. finally I added the Good Vibes title on the side because she's truly just so happy here!!




<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Joy"



For this layout I used the Techno rings to frame the photo of my daughter painting and one of the words from the Ombré Dreams- Dream Cards paper.  First I primed them with gesso, Then I painted them with gelatos and added some stickles glitter. I also stamped them with a circular stitched stamp (which is the same stamp used on the background). Finally I created white lines on them with a white acrylic marker.


I used the Ombré Dreams- Joyce's dream and matched all the embellishments and inks to it.


my daughter had so much fun using the dropper to create splatters on the page. It gave me so much joy watching her and so I used the Joy title from the Good Vibes chipboard word set.


<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Natural"

I used the Ombré Dreams- Susan's Dream as the background for this layout and added some layers with the Dream Cards paper.


Finally I want to show you the layout I created for the July sketch challenge. I also happened to use a circular motif so I thought I'd share the design.


The small circle flourish chipboard frame was perfect to frame this natural looking photo of my daughter.


I also used the bohemian flowers, little birds and a frame trinket to to add to the natural look. Finally I added the natural title from the All Natural word set.



Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog today. You can still enter the July sketch Challenge Here

Have a wonderful day!!
