March Inspiration With Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share some layouts created with the new Courtship Lane collection.  I had so much fun creating with the new papers.

-Reminisce-

 My first layout features the Lovers Lane paper.  Love the details and colors.  I used the Calling Cards paper to layer under the photo of my grandparents. I added some masking and paint splatters to the background paper along with misting using the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Mist and stamping with the Arcadia Textures stamp.

I used three pieces of chipboard here.  The Poppies Collage under my photo and Bits Of Honey on each side of the photo and Chelsea Vines tucked in my flower clusters.  I embossed the Poppies Collage and Bits of Honey with a mixture of Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powders and  added some Dusty Rose  and Fools Gold Glitter.  The Chelsea Vines were embossed with Sage and Verdant and sprinkled with some Peridot glitter.

My title Reminisce is from the Serendipity Words 2.  I inked it with brown ink and randomly embossed with Ginger, Oatmeal and Cotton Candy embossing powers.  I love the aged effect.

-Our Dream Home-

 I used the Main Street paper for my background and West Plaza Side B, East Plaza, Royal Street and Calling cards to create layering under my picture.  Lots of stamping on my background using the Halftone and Arcadia Textures stamps and some paint splatters.



I used a mixture of the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders and dusty Rose Glitter on the word Happy from the Laughter, Happy, Smile chipboard set.  I lightly added some Dusty Rose Glitter on the flowers.



On each side of my picture I used the Persian Ornament chipboard which I embossed using the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.  


On the right side I used the Whimsy Flourish chipboard, embossed with the Lilac and Mystic Plum embossing powders.

Creations with {Patter}

Hello everyone. Patter here today to share my December creations with you. I have two layouts and a card to share with you today. Let's get started.

Trust
This layout is one I did for my chosen word for 2105. My word for next year is 'trust'. I used the Blue Fern Studios Montage collection for this 8 1/2 x 11 page.

The Chicken Wire Panel chipboard piece I covered in texture paste followed by some colored mist. I also only used a portion of this chipboard piece. It comes as a 12x12 piece but is wonderful to cut down to any size you need.

Papers: Blue Fern Studios Montage Invitation and Bouquet 

Blue Fern Studios chipboard: Chicken Wire Panel 

Joy
For the background of this card, I embossed and then sanded the Sanctuary Conservatory paper.

For the sentiment, I used the Chunky Words chipboard and covered it in texture paste.

If you remember some of my previous layouts, this is the precious baby boy I have been scrapping. Well, that precious boy is now almost one. I cannot believe it! I wanted to give the family more scrapbook pages for their album, so this is the 8 1/2 x 11 page I created for them. I used the newest Blue Fern Studios December sketch, and I also used the newest BFS papers called Sanctuary.

To color the Poppies Collage chipboard, I covered the chipboard in a thick layer of gesso then embossed with various embossing powder colors.

Priceless Moments with the Montage collection

Hello friends, can you imagine it's already October and the last quarter of the year?! Oh my gosh, time has really past hasn't it?

Today I'm up on the Blue Fern Studios blog with an education video and I'm squealing with excitement because it features the gorgeous Montage collection that Michele Singh has designed. I basically just swooned over it - too pretty!

Here's the mixed media layout I created:

I've used "Now and Then" as my background paper, together with layering pieces from "Society" and "Calling Cards". Tucked between the papers are the new Poppies and Jasmine collages. These are my favourite at the moment and they are actually a combination of flowers with existing chipboard designs already available (Poppies is mixed with Bits of Honey, and Jasmine is mixed with Checkered Bits).

Some close-ups:

My page title from "Bouquet".

The Poppies collage. Love the effect you get when layering shades of colors.

This is the Jasmine collage and you can see the gradients in the colors giving an ombre effect. 

So here's the video I've made, do enjoy the process!

That's all I have for today. If you have not subscribed to us on Youtube, now's the time to do so! And do drop by the blog again to see what the rest of the fabulous team has in store for you.
