A Romantic Time Journal

The "A Romantic Life" collection has such pretty graphics that wanted to

create a special project.

I decided to do a Cinch journal so I could choose the placement of the

lovely images for each page.

This loving collection called for lots of embellishments: flowers, chipboard, embossing, lace and appliques enhance the

romantic feel of the journal.

The pastel colors, beautiful flowers and sweet sentiments

were perfect for an "I can't wait until Spring" project!

Here's the link to the final flip through video:

Stillness

Welcome! It's been a challenging time for all of us as of late. I hope all is well with you and your loved ones during this very difficult time. I have another layout for you today.

This layout was done using the new A Romantic Life collection from Blue Fern Studios.

I used my new stencil from Finnabair and tried a different approach to my masking. I first used molding paste as the base and while the stencil was still down I went over it with dabs of blue and yellow paint then scrapped the paint colors with a credit card down the design. It gives a really nice effect. Of course I did some stamping with the Tattered Newsprint stamp. I then added a bit of lace ( Lace 07A) on top of the design.

I used a variety of chipboard on this. I cut the Bouquet Florets chipboard, colored it with Honey and Sage embossing powders and layered it behind my photo and papers. I then added another layer of a different lace (I think it's discontinued now) and then added the rest of the Florets on top of that.

I framed my photo with the new Frilly Frame chipboard. The layout is actually quite thick but I like the outcome.

Another close-up of the florets chippie.

I used some of the gorgeous new flowers from Blue Fern in Nightshade to embellish my page and an adorable charm from the Filigree Medal collection.

I used the word Stillness from the Stillness, Contentment and Peaceful collection and embossed it with blue embossing powder and some wheat for a little sparkle. I also colored some lace and ran it along the two sides of my page.

Off to the side I used more of the Bouquet Florets pieces and some blooms as well as a little heart from the Ephemera pack. This is a different kind of layout for me I hope you like it.

Take care, remember social distancing and stay safe!!

All the best! :)

Shine On!

Good day and welcome!

This layout was done with the Radiance Collection from Blue Fern Studios.

I used doilies as my design element for this page. I used a Prima doily stencil and some Coral Me Crazy Dazzlerz from Shimmerz to add some texture to my background. I then cut out a doily with a Prima die and my chipboard piece is also like a doily.

I cut some of the papers in various formats. I used the Journaling Cards Stamp and stamped out a few cards as well. I layered these various elements behind my photo. I also used a few pieces from the ephemera pack.

A close-up of some of the blooms.

I used a variety of blooms. Some from Prima, others from 49 & Market and Apricot Blooms and Fresh Florals from Blue Fern Studios.

For my title I used an ephemera piece and trimmed it into a circle.

That is all for now. I have just received a parcel with the new A Romantic Life papers and chippies! I can't wait to start a new project and play with these pretty papers!

I will see you soon! All the best! :)

Remember

Welcome back! Today I have a layout done with the Eclectic Charm Collection from Blue Fern Studios.

These are my Godparents. Sadly they have both passed (way too soon). They owned a small Bakery called Ingmars Bakery on Yonge Street in Toronto. Some of my best childhood memories come from visiting that Bakery.

I mixed some Pressed Petals mist from Prima in with some molding paste to use on my background with a stencil also from Prima. I did a little stamping for more interest.

I used some lace from Blue Fern to frame part of my photo.

I used the chipboard Deja Vu Luminaires for this page. I liked the elegance of them. I used black and garnet embossing powder to add color. I used Prima blooms from the Darcel Collection.
