Hi bloggers, I can't believe that it's March already. Time is flying but, but I am enjoying crafting for the Blue Fern Studios Design team. This month, I'll be sharing 2 layouts and 1 off the page project.
Capture the Moment Layout #1
The starting point for this layout was this beautiful picture of my 2 sons and I taken during our Riviera Maya vacation last summer. I wanted to extend on my layout the colors of my picture, so a blue background with a sandy beach.
I chose the beige background from In the Mood - Flirty paper. Once covered with Gesso, I layed my foundation of ink on the top half.
I wanted to have multi tones on my chipboard to give it more dimension. I opted to cover my clock and rectangle pieces in Ginger, Black & Gold and finally a touch of Oatmeal embossing powders.
The bottom of the layout, in order to create a beach feel effect I worked with cheese cloth and wool fibers that I glued with gel medium. Then I added touches of small stones and 4 colors of seedlings: Paprika, Twig, Gold Nugget & Glass.
Once my background was complete, I chose to build my layers. For my title, I chose to use 14 Karat embossing powder. I love the glitter it adds to the layout.
This last picture shows the beautiful Blue Fern flowers, more details on the embossed chipboard & seedlings. I also included Rose Gold glitter but it's impossible to capture the glitter on my picture.

Formidable layout # 2
Time for another magnificent picture of my gorgeous niece with her family. I just love the vibrancy of the red in the picture and chose to use that for my highlights.
Remnants Westfield is my chosen paper for this layout.
I had fun playing with different techniques on this layout. The first step was to emboss different sections with the Green Ivory Embossing Powder. I used 2 stamps to emboss on my background paper: Weathered Doily & Honeycomb.
I chose to alter the circle chipboard with black gesso, and some waxes to give them an antique look & feel.
I love adding the small sentiments from the Remnants printed chipboard set.
Can you see the top of my tags? I like making my own tags, they make wonderful ornaments for my layering. Here is used leftovers of my Remnants collection.
I wanted to add some shine to my flowers, so I added touches of white & gold glitter

Off the page project: Vision Board 2018
Have you ever made a vision board? This year at work, I hosted a team event where we I invited our team members to create their combined work & personal vision board for 2018.
The goal of a vision board is that if you see you goals on a daily level... you set-up you mind to making them happen.
To set-up my board I used many elements from my Blue Fern collection.
The first step was making my chipboard world map. I wanted it to pop out so I chose Blue Sky embossing powder:
Second elements where to use my gorgeous Blue Fern stamp sets. I love the words Family and Hopes & Dreams. I found them perfect for the family section of my board.
To create sections, I chose to use the frames in the Homespun printed chipboard set:
Here we can see a printed frame and the word Journey, both from my stamp stash.
And lastly, more of the Homespun printed chipboard elements. They are just adorable.
Disclaimer: I did pull off the internet and Pinterest some quotes that I found to complete the vision board.
