Debbie's January Layouts

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today!  

I'm thrilled to be continuing on designing for Blue Fern Studios.  

Such an honor and pleasure to be able to work with fabulous products.
Here's a little bit about me . . . 

I live in Maryland, about an hour from our nation's capitol and have two grown children and one furbaby.

By day I am an assistant project manager for a General Contractor specializing in commercial build outs.  I love to spend my free time in my scrapbook room creating away and when weather permits you can find me outside tending to my flower gardens. I love to incorporate mixed media with my shabby chic style.  

You can visit my blog Love Life's Little Pleasures here.   

Today I have two projects to share with you, using the new paper collections Blush and Timeless.  My first layout features Timeless, a beautiful vintage collection. I've used the Maconnerie (both sides) and Calling Cards papers to highlight a vintage photo of my Mom.  Lots of stamping on the background using the Arcadia Texture stamp along with some masking and lots of paint splatters.

Lots of layering beneath my photo primarily using the Calling Cards.  I embossed the Floral Wreath Chipboard with Mystic Plum embossing powder, and then embossed again using the Arcaidia Texture Stamp and Ebony Embossing Powder.  I cut the wreath into a few pieces and placed the pieces around the photo.

For my title I used Blooming Beauty and embossed it with a mixture of Mystic Plum and Garnet Embossing Powders, and then lightly inked it.

My next layout features the Blush Collection.  Perfect for those special pictures of loved ones.  Here I've used a picture of my niece.

 For my background I used the Celebration paper and added lots of layering under the picture with the Fondness and Calling Cards papers.  Love the soft pastel colors and details in the Blush papers!  I added some masking on the background, paint splatters and misting with the Imagine Ink Mists in Cotton Candy and Sky Blue.

My title chipboard piece, Sweet On You was embossed with the Oatmeal embossing powder and then I randomly applied some pink paint.  Underneath the photo I used the Leafy Rings chipboard which I also embossed with the Oatmeal embossing powder.

A Jeweled Trinket chipboard piece hangs below my flower cluster, embossed with Oatmeal embossing powder and lightly applied pink paint.

Pink and More Pink with Patter

Okay, so pink is my favorite color. For today's inspiration, I decided to go with a pink theme. Let's look at what I've created.

Pink
I love this quote—"You can never have too much pink." So, I decided to use that on my art journal page for today. I first started with a lot of Blue Fern Garden paper scraps. I, of course, chose mostly the pink scraps. I then layered them on the page with other scraps of paper. Here is a photo of what the page looked like when I started and layered on the Blue Fern Garden scraps. Sorry for the dark photo.

And here is how the art journaling page turned out:

I used Blooming Flourish chipboard pieces and painted them with different colors of acrylic paint. I also added the chipboard to the page before adding paint splatters so that the chipboard pieces would also got some white and black splatters on them.

Hello
For this card, I decided to stick with the pink theme. I used the Blue Fern Garden Calling Cards paper. I started by using my Gelli Plate with acrylic paint to add some more color. Then I embossed the same piece of paper after it had dried. After that, I began layering the paper and embellishments to finish the card.

The chipboard piece I used is called Jeweled Trinkets. I covered it in pink acrylic paint. Then I added a layer of texture paint to the bow portion of the chipboard to set it off a bit.

Celebrate

And I know this isn't pink but I wanted to share in detail the 8 1/2 x 11 layout I created for the July Sketch Challenge. This was one of my daughter's on her graduation day, and as you can imagine, she was excited. I used sketch as well as the new Blue Fern Studios paper line called Ombre Dreams.

The chipboard stars are new from Blue Fern  Studios, and they are called "Seeing Stars." I painted the stars with gesso and let them dry. Once dry, I painted with three LuminArte paint colors—cool water, navajo pearl, and lime squeeze. I then let that dry, and lastly I stamped on top of the stars.
