If these walls could talk - layout by Vicky Alberto

This is the cute bungalow we moved from last year (yet remained in the same community), after purchasing our lake house. I still get emotional when I think of almost 18 years worth of memories in that place. 


For this layout I used Blue Fern's gorgeous Remnants paper collection, coordinating adhesive shapes, lace, flowers, garden daisies chipboard and tattered walls ephemera. A few little embellishments from my stash to tie everything together.


On the close-up, you can see that I used Blue Fern's lavender seedlings on the garden daisies chipboard. They perfectly matched the purple lilacs in the photo. I still miss all the pretty lilacs we had on that property! Well, as always... thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my project today.

Hello Dreams Panel


Hello Crafter Friends, I'm Aida from @aidaville, it's lovely to see you back at the Blue Fern Studios Blog and hopefully the Design Team's projects have kept you inspired and creating. This week I have a Hello Dreams panel featuring a theme that will resonate with all of us.

These are the Blue Fern Studios products I used :
Wanderlust - Calling Cards  |  Seascape
Swan Gate Chipboard  |  Valerie's Butterflies Chipboard
Tattered Walls Ephemera  |   Flowers - Apricot Blooms.
Lace no. #2
Other supplies : 6x8 Flat Back Canvas Panel, Dye Inks, Vintage Silver Embossing Powder, Gesso, Crayons.


The faded blue woodgrain of the Wanderlust  Seascape paper is a wonderful background for the Swan Gate Chipboard which was given a vintage shine with some heat embossing.


I just love the sentiment "go where your Dreams take you" ... it's what we all wish for ! The Butterfly chipboard was given just a touch of heat embossing in the center for a worn-away effect. You will see underneath it, how the large flourish from the Tattered Walls Ephemera and Lace #2 add more dimension to the panel.


Here's a closer look of the Chipboard Swan Gate and the contrasting background paper accentuates the gate even more.


Layering all the bits of ephemera and paper makes the panel look interesting and just calls out for you to touch the details. 


The Butterfly perfectly anchors the panel with a shabby prettiness.

Creating this panel was so much fun, I truly enjoy layering papers and embellishments. If all this seem difficult to you, don't worry ..... a little practice and experience will make sure you get good at this.

Thank you for stopping by, stay creative !

Altered Can and Jar - Vicky Alberto

I decided to have some fun altering a tomato can and a plastic mayonnaise jar...


I just can't seem to get enough of Blue Fern's Homespun and Heartland collections, so I mixed them together! 


On the tomato can, I added an adhesive butterfly from the Remnants collection, Tattered walls ephemera and Blue Fern flowers too. Nothing from my stash on here... this is ALL gorgeous Blue Fern product.


On the mayonnaise jar, Homespun adhesive shapes, Tattered walls ephemera, Blue Fern flowers, ribbon and flourish heart chipboard were added... again nothing from my stash on this project either!


On the heart chipboard I inked in dark pink and then randomly glued some Blue Fern pink embossing powder on top, for a thick shabby look. Well... once again thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my projects!

Lake House Layout - Vicky Alberto

We moved to a lakefront house a while back (less than 2 miles from our last house)... what a change and more renovations still to be done!  I will share a layout of my previous house at another time...


For this layout I used the gorgeous Blue Fern Amber & Apricot paper collection, coordinating adhesives shapes, tattered walls ephemera, rose leaves and hook & keys chipboard, plus gorgeous flowers. Lots of distressed layers and only a few embellishments from my stash.



On the leaves and key chipboard pieces I used variety of inks and chalks, for a rustic look. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my newest project!

August Inspiration - Megan Gourlay

Hi Everyone :)

Today I have 3 projects to share with you, one using the Wanderlust Collection and the other using the In the Mood collection.


My first project is a layout that uses lots of layers of printed and altered chipboard. My base piece of paper is Ocean Voyage.  Ive used two different stencils with texture paste and watered down different paint colours for added colour.  Some random stamping using archival ink over the background finished my base layer.


My Beaded Circles chipboard has simply been painted, and then added some muslin this has also been coloured to match.  My two chipboard titles have been embossed with Wheat, and a few seedlings sprinkled around finished my layout.



Products Used

Patterned Paper: 
Wanderlust - Ocean Voyage

Printed Chipboard:
Wanderlust

Ephemera:
Tattered Walls

Embossing Powder:
Wheat

Glitter:
Russet

Stamps:
Tattered Newsprint
Journey

Seedlings:
Twig

Chipboard:
Beaded Circles
You Make Me Smile




My next project is in two parts, a little luggage trunk and a mini album.  The mini album is tiny, and fits 3x4 photos.  Both projects use In the Mood papers and printed chipboard.  This would make a fab wedding gift, or valentines day present don't you think?!


The I Love You printed chipboard was the perfect size for the front cover of my album, and because both projects are tiny, the cover needed to be flat to allow it fit in the trunk.


The mini album has a 1.75" spine with the binding being able to hold two 'signatures' - those two signatures contain a belly band, accordion fold page and a pocket.  The entire album holds 10 photos with room for journalling.


Ive used Lace 10 - the pink piece - to decorate the inside, and hide the prongs of the brads where they attach to the lid.


The detail on the lid is created by layering three layers of printed chipboard pieces.  The top piece, the heart, I have painted and while still wet applied White Gold Glitter - this just might be my favourite one, its gorgeous!


The inside front cover and the belly band on the left, both decorated with printed chipboard pieces - a great way to add dimension but which keeps it flat also.


Here I have a flap decorated with another printed chipboard piece, that ties the accordion fold piece all together, and a simple pocket page on the left.


The page on the left is a simple pocket that I have used to tuck some journalling in.  This is decorated by layering three of the triangles that come in the printed chipboard set.  The heart on the back cover is also from this set.

Products Used

Patterned Paper:
In the Mood - Ecstatic, Blissful, Attracted, Flirty

Printed Chipboard:
In The Mood

Glitter:
White Gold

Lace:
Lace 10


Thank you for popping by today, and hopefully Ive given you some inspiration in utilising those printed chipboard pieces :)

Sharon's August Layouts!

Hi everyone!  Welcome August!

Today is the day I have been looking forward to all month.  It's the time I get to share 3 new layouts with all of you!  My pages for the month of August all have a family theme  - I want to honor and preserve my family photos and share with you how wonderful (and easy!) it is to make layouts that mean something to you!

So without further ado, here they are:

Layout #1:  Life is Full of Surprises

I used a photo that I took of my daughter, Anne, in 2012.  She loves to ride her bike,  and on this particular afternoon, she got on her bike while she was still in her dress that the wore to church.  I have hidden journaling about this tucked under the photo.

For this layout, I used the gorgeous "Tattered Walls" collection.  I really love all of the beautiful paper in this collection.  This particular paper is entitled "The Sun Room."  

Here is a close up:

As you can see, I stamped and embossed directly on the edges of my page to bring your eye directly to the photo.  I also embossed my chipboard with Buttercup embossing powder.  You have to try Blue Fern Studios' embossing powder - it is a dream to use!!!

Here is another view:

Paper: Tattered Walls "The Sun Room" 
Chipboard: Persian Ornament,  Blooming Curls, "Life is full of Surprises"
Stamp:  Grungy Grid
Embossing Powder: Buttercup, Celestial
Flowers: Wanderlust Vine, Fresh Florals
Seedlings: Lemonade
Glitter: Army Dust
Lace:  Lace 3B, Lace 10
Ephemera: Tattered Walls

Layout #2:  Fabulous

Here, I used a photo of my niece, Sarah, age 3, and my daughter Katie, age 8, taken for Mother's Day in 1997.  

This time, I used the beautiful and versatile "In the Mood" collection.  I love how the pinks and reds of the paper go perfectly with the pinks of Sarah's and Katie's dresses.  

To give you a better look, here is a close up:

Layout #3:  Our Family

This layout features the very gorgeous Tattered Walls collection.  The paper is entitled "The Carport."  (I have said this before, but I really love how each of these papers are named after a room!)  

For this layout, I featured photos of our immediate family that were taken for our Christmas photo this past year.  I especially loved using the small chipboard frames embossed in gold and the gold Lace 9C to emphasize and clearly define them.

Here are some close ups:

I stamped and embossed the edges of my paper with the "Night Sky" embossing powder.   I also embossed the chipboard "solar dangles" with Night Sky EP.  This EP is spectacular and goes perfectly with this patterned paper.
