Everythings Coming Up Roses...By Lisa Gregory

 I hope you have all had a peek from Blue Fern Studios new paper line, Montage. Well, it is beautiful and  must have collection for your paper stash. For todays post, each project was done with each of Blue Fern Studios paper Collections. This first layout was done with Blue Fern Garden using the Timeless sheet. I opted to take the pink color in the layout and use Lindys Stamp Gang sprays to color the paper. It was also inspired by this months beautiful Sketch. Click on the sketch below to join the challenge!!

Here is my take on the sketch.

The piece of chipboard I used is from the  Roman Clock Set - Large.  I used one of the smaller pieces and cut it out in  semicircle for the corner.

 I used one of the the larger circles from the Roman Clock Set - Large.  to frame the photo. Both pieces of chipboard were textured with gesso, then sprayed with Lindys Starburst sprays. .

  
I used the Mixed Chains to dangle underneath the flower bud. I cut one to get 2 pieces.

This next layout was created using Montage. I layered  Bouquet and Mercantile over  piece of corrugated cardboard.

I heat embossed Lindys embossing powder on the Quatrefoil Panel. 

 I used the Collage Frame to frame the photo.I primed it with white gesso, then heat embossed it using Lindys Embossing powder.

The tag was created using Ombre Dreams Juliannas Dream. I did some spraying and masking on the tag before adding my embellishments.

I cut the smallest piece from the Roman Clock Set. I used the pieces in opposite corners.

I created  the quote in Photoshop, printed it out, then cut it up for the tag.I topped the tag with Seam binding that I colored with Lindys spray.

I hope you were inspired by my projects today.  Until next month, Visit the Blue Fern Studios Blog for daily inspiration! Step by steps and videos from our eduction team will keep your creativity flowing!!

September Sketch with Jelissa and a Start to Finish Video

Hello there friends!

We're in September, and how fast time has past! Today I'm sharing with you my take on Blue Fern Studios' September sketch challenge as part of my video education post.

Here is the wonderful sketch by Michelle:

And my interpretation of it:

That's my cat again as I realised I havn't scrapped much photos of my pets. I have lots of my children though and to many, they are one and the same. I've used the beautiful papers from Ombre Dreams, as well as some lovely chipboards like the Jeweled Frame, Framed Trinkets, a corner from the Rose Frame and a piece of the Lace Rounds.

Some closeups:

Here's the video of how I put this page together, on the Blue Fern Studios Youtube channel. 

I hope you've enjoyed watching the video. And remember to subscribe to our Youtube channel and also drop again by the Blue Fern Studios blog for more inspiration from the rest of the lovely DT.

Video Education. Canvas with Tiffany Solorio

Hi everyone. Tiffany here. I have a canvas to share with you. Since this is my very first post I will introduce myself first. 

My name is Tiffany. (mammatiffy). I am 29 and I live in Nevada with my wonderful husband and 2 kids. My son is 7 and my daughter is 3. I started crafting about 5 years ago. I was introduced to scrapbooking and card making through a mom in one of the playgroups I was in for my son. I instantly was obsessed. As time went by I learned more and more and was always intrigued by new techniques. 5 years later here I am. I enjoy creating and getting messy. 

I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful team and I hope I inspire you as much as so many has inspired me. 

Here is my completed canvas

Hello everybody

Leila's here again to show my projects for this month...

My layouts today are about my daughter, in the first one she had 1 year old and in the second, she had a 13! She is my sunshine!

I used gesso and gelatos in this chipboard and put some strass in the frame!

Here I painted the chippie with black pen and then put some colorless relief.

BFS supplies:

- Leslie's dream paper

- Brick rings

- The optmist word set

"Pretty as a picture"

Here I used a lot of chipboards and diferent supplies to customize them...

In the title and checker bits I used liquid pearl, in the big clock, acrilic paint and distress ink!

This wonderful chippie I used acrilic paint and spray ink (applied with brush)

BFS supplies:

- Julianna's dream paper by Ombré Collection

- Checker bits
