Taken From The Past by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Debbie here today to share a frame I altered with the Attic Charm collection.

I started off with a small white decorative frame which I dabbed with some rose gold wax.  I then began to build up layers by using Curio, Calling Cards and Attire papers from the Attic Charm collection.  In addition to building up layers I did a lot of fussy cut work from papers.  

Here I used a couple of older chipboard pieces from Blue Fern Studios which I embossed with Pink Dust embossing powder.  I lightly dabbed on some rose gold wax and added a sprinkling of Gold Nugget, Tickled and Sweet Pea Seedlings.

Tucked between layers I used some Blue Fern lace and flowers from Moody Florals and

Chesterville Blooms.  I added some fussy cut work from the Attic Key, Attire, Curio and Mercantile papers.

Lots of fussy cut images.

Lots of layers!

February Inspiration by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Debbie back with you today to share my February layouts.   I have two today, one created with the new In The Mood Collection and the second one featuring the Amber & Apricot collection.

"I Love You"

I enjoyed working with the new collection, In The Mood.  Lots of beautiful papers to choose from.  I used the Dreamy paper for my base.  Not much sun here in my neck of the woods to truly show the beautiful colors and details in the background paper.

To achieve the coloring on the chipboard piece, I used a mixture of two new embossing powders, Black & Gold along with Pure Red and a tiny amount of It's A Girl.

Lot of layering behind the photo using the Dreamy paper and Pensive Side B, 

along with the printed chipboard.

Look at all of those lovely flowers!   Most of them are from the new Moody Florals and Moody Blooms collections. I placed some chipboard pieces among the flowers which I embossed with Black & Gold and added some Fire Engine Glitter.   At the base of the flowers I used a mixture of two new Seedlings, Beating Heart and Pink Topaz.

My second layout highlights the Amber & Apricot collection.

"Happy Little Moment"

The background paper is Chapters (Side B).  I thought the aged design on the paper was a perfect compliment to the old photo of my Mom and her family.  I applied some coral mist and stamping using the Swiss Dots and Tattered Newsprint stamps.

Lots of layering under the picture using pieces from the Printed chipboard that coordinates with the Amber & Apricot collection.  I embossed the chipboard with Blood Orange Embossing Powder. 

The title is from the Printed Chipboard.  I embossed some chipboard pieces with a mixture of Dark Chocolate and Blood Orange Embossing Powders.  

Lots of flowers from Late Winter Lilies, Chesterville Florals, Christmas Blooms, Homespun Blooms and Remnants Blossoms surround the picture.
