Featuring YOU!

We hope you have enjoyed the month of January when each of our designers introduced themselves and shared a few layouts.  They are awesome, aren't they? We were also excited to bring you a new paper collection - Serendipity, along with coordinating stamps, chipboard, embossing powder and glitter.

We love what our Creative Team has been working on, but we also love seeing how fans of Blue Fern use our products!  So today, we would like to feature some layouts that we have found on your blogs, Facebook, and online galleries.  You're sure to find some awesome inspiration!

Melissa Willick shared this lovely journal with us on our Facebook page .

She has used the Blue Fern Love Story collection.

This layout was created by Tanya Palamarchuk using our Ombre Dreams collection.  We love the soft, dreamy look!

We found this layout created by Shizuka Hirano in an online gallery.  How adorable is this?  Shizuka used paper from the Frolic collection.

Tonya Gibbs describes this layout as one of her favorites, and we can certainly see why!   The layers she has built against the black background of this paper from the Love Story collection is stunning.  Tonya also used the Paisley & Vine chipboard set, and some Blue Fern texture stamps.  She even has a video on her blog, showing how she created this layout!

Paper from the Autumn Anthology collection (of course) was perfect for this layout created by Mgiov and uploaded to an online gallery.  What a beautiful way to remember their annual fall photo shoot.

We found this layout on Nadine Carlier's blog and fell in love with it.  What an awesome use of Blue Fern paper (Autumn Anthology) for a little boy page!

And last, but not least, we found this beautiful Christmas layout created by Dollscrap using paper from the Vintage Christmas collection.  The doilies are amazing and add a special touch to this vintage-inspired layout.

So, that wraps up a fantastic start to 2016 at Blue Fern Studios. 
We hope you will leave some love for these amazing women!

"Momentos Especiales"

I worked this page with the beautiful Blush collection. My title is the new Spanish chipboard word "Momentos Especiales" that means Special Moments that goes perfect with this lovely memory of my kids, here is my daughter's first birthday.

January Inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi! I'm really happy to be part of this amazing team and to inspire you on the blog.

But they all are very tender and fabulous :) Scrapbooking fascinated me 4 years ago and I am now a true fan of this. I love to create and give cards. I like to keep the memory in layouts. In my projects I like to use romantic designs which is so easy with Blue Fern Studio products. I like flowers and lace. I like tenderness, and a natural style.  And sometimes I create teddy-bears and their friends, and even participate in exhibitions. 

All of this is my lovely job;)
