March Inspiration by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Debbie back with you today to share my March layouts.   I have two created with the In The Mood Collection and the third one featuring the Happy Accident collection.

"All  You Need Is Love"

 I used the Attracted paper for my background.  Love the beautiful colors and details. Michelle designed such a beautiful collection! I added a light spray of some peony mist to the background along with some pieces from Lace 12.  

Lot of layering behind the photo using the Optimistic and Dreamy papers 

along with the printed chipboard. The chipboard pieces behind the photo were embossed with Blue Fern Ivory Embossing Power, and the leaves with Avocado and sprinkled with some Meadow Seedlings. 

I used a butterfly stamp and embossed two butterflies, one in ebony and the other in Pink Dust.  I placed lots of flowers around photo from Apricot Blooms, Moody Florals and Moody Blooms.

I applied some white mircobeads from my stash all around the layout and added some Blue Fern Tickled Seedlings and Pink Pearl Glitter.

I fussy cut flowers from the Ecstatic paper and tucked them behind the photo.

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 Layouts - Created by Sharon!

Hi Everyone!

I am very happy to be here sharing the layouts that I made for February! ♥

My first two pages were made with the new and gorgeous "In the Mood" collection:

This collection just blew me away!  It is so perfect for those romantic, family, or love photos.

♥My First Layout:  Two Worlds, One Family:

I used a favorite photo of my daughters, Katie and Anne, taken back in 2005 on Valentine's Day.  I thought it would be wonderful to use lyrics from "Two Worlds, One Family" written by Phil Collins.

Isn't the paper beautiful?  I love the In the Mood collection!

I featured the paper "Ecstatic" here because of the beautiful, bold colors.  And I LOVED using the magical Pixie Dust Embossing Powder on the Family and Doily Bunting chipboard pieces.  I also embossed directly on my page using the Brocade Texture stamp.

Here are some close ups:

Paper: In the Mood "Ecstatic"

Chipboard: Family, Doily Bunting, In the Mood Printed Chipboard Shapes, Homespun Printed Chipboard Shapes

Embossing Powder: Pixie Dust

Stamp: Brocade Texture

Flowers: Moody Florals, Christmas Blooms

Seedlings: Pink Topaz

Lace:  Lace 6

♥My Second Layout:  You Make Me Smile

I found an adorable old photo of my daughter, Anne, and her friend, Ava, taken quite a few years ago.  Both girls are adopted from China and have remained friends over the years!  

Again, I thoroughly enjoyed using the paper from the In the Mood collection.  This time I picked "Flirty" to feature and "Dreamy" to use in my background.  

Here are some close ups:

I also want to mention that I loved working with the Celestial and Antique Gold embossing powders!

Glitter: Pink Carnation

Flowers: Moody Florals

Seedlings: Pink Topaz

Lace:  Lace 11

Both of these pages are close to my heart and using Blue Fern Studios' In the Mood 

collection made them all the more enjoyable to scrap!♥

♥My Third Layout: Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

And the last layout I created using the awesome Homespun collection:

 Here is my page:

My daughter, Anne, was a part of a fashion show "Go Red for Women,"  which supports and helps make women aware of their heart health in 2008.  A friend of mine took these photos and I still think they are adorable.

I used the Homespun collection this time and featured the beautiful "Picturesque" paper.  

Some close ups:

I had fun making curtains for this page using the gorgeous Lace 6!
