'' In the mood '' to sharing ... Layouts by Tartine Peluche

Hello everybody!
I'm back to share with you my new inspirations.
This month, I propose you two pages of the ''Remnants'' collection
and one of the new collection ''In the Mood''.
... I hope you like pink and purple ...

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

*You are LIFE ...*
( Remnants , Devonshire )

I've separated the heart of the '' Garden Blooms '' flowers to create more smaller flowers, I used the others part in the top of my photo.

As you know, I really like the lace, I like torn and use it partly on differet spot of my creation.
Here, a piece of Lace 5 under the photo and another piece used on the
bottom photo to create texture on my background.

All chipboards here, are embossed with '' Taupe '' powder. The other pieces on the
background are simply painted.

The Butterfly and the word '' LIFE '' are part of the Printed Chipboard '' REMNANTS ''

I used a lot of seedlings again, especially '' MAUVE'' '' PURPLE HAZE''
and a bit of ''GLASS'' seedlings that I mix with my own pearls and mini embellishements...

Beach Walk by Pam Ellis

It has been such a joy to have Pam Ellis as our Blue Fern Fan of the Month. Each and every project has been unique. This week, she has added some awesome texture to her layout. It's so realistic you will feel like you are taking a walk along the beach,

Now we will turn it over to Pam so she can tell you about her creative process:

This is my dog Bruiser and I strolling the gorgeous beach in Caribou Monroe Nova Scotia. It was our first holiday in 15 years! My husband and I had recently bought a fifth wheel and decided to travel the East Coat of Canada. I have never known such peace. I can't wait to return this summer.

I applied a coat of clear gesso to my background and let dry. I then went over the area that would be surrounding my photo with clear crackle paste.

I added some dimension with a stencil and some molding paste. I mixed some art stones large and small in some matte Gel and applied around the "beach" area or lower half of the layout to imitate sand. I then added some shells I picked up while on holidays in the East Coast (Nova Scotia)

I misted the layout with blue and several browns to try and match the paper. I added paper layers behind my photo and popped it up from the page. I embossed the Seashell frame with a variety of colors and attached it to my photo. After I glued everything down, I then added a small vial of sand from the beach in Nova Scotia.

I finished the layout by adding some blooms and my title.

Chipboard:

I would like to thank Blue Fern Studios for the opportunity to be the Fan of the Month. It meant the world to me.

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

Chipboard butterflies are covered with Soot glitter and Iridescent Grey and Icicle embossing powders

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.

Vintage Inspired by Pam Ellis

This week, Pam Ellis, our Blue Fern Fan of the Month, has created a layout in memory of her mother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2011. What a beautiful tribute to her mother, who she cared for when she was ill.

Pam used this beautiful sepia photo of her mother along with paper from the Remnants collection. To the background she applied modeling paste through a rose patterned stencil, and then used purple mist.

The Faded Bloom chipboard piece was cut and used in two places in her design, and serves as an area to place the title. Pam also cut tags from the paper to use as layering elements.

A few pieces from the Printed Chipboard and flowers from the Remnant Florals added the finishing touches.

Thank you Pam, for sharing your layout and memories of you mother.

Junuary Inspiration by Yuko

I'm Yuko Tanaka.

It's possible to be added to Blue Fern Studios design team this time.

It's honor very much!

When a picture of its wedding is being put in order in 2006.

I knew a scrap booking.

A picture is taken while enjoying child's growth after my daughter is born in 2012.

The meaning is found very much to leave it by the shape as the scrap booking.

3 years in 2014, 2015 and 2016

I experienced a design team of Blue Fern Studios.

And it was added to a team again in 2018 this year in a wonderful thing!

Of Blue Fern Studios, I'm elegant and like the chic and pretty atmosphere very much.

" The characteristic and the image the paper has, importantly.

In order to utilize good of the paper", I'd like to make a motto a work.

Thank you!
