December Inspiration with Melinda Thompson

Hello my crafty friends :)

This is my final projects for Blue Fern Studios. My 12 month term finishes at the end of December and I can't believe how quick that 12 months went!

With my last 2 projects I used the new Vintage Christmas paper range. Its a beautiful paper range with such a range of colours to choose.

In my first project I was inspired by the gorgeous pinks, reds and aqua's. Such a pretty combination.

"Merry Christmas"

Lots of paper strips and fussy cutting...oh what fun! Chipboard pieces have been lightly painted in Gesso first and then covered with mists, inks and glitter :)

Paper: Vintage Christmas

Chipboard: Holiday Frame, Holly Sprigs, Word Ornaments

My second project is full of glitter and shine! I have used the new Imagine Ink Glitter range - Carribean and Pyrite on my chipboard pieces and a sprinkle here and there in my paper. I was truly shining after this project!!! :):)

"Magical"

Paper: Vintage Christmas

Chipboard: Winter Village, Winter Titles, Winter Page Dangles, Christmas Ornaments, Beaded Strings

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you feel inspired to create this holiday season. Thank you Blue Fern Studios for having me on the team this past 12 months...its been absolutely fun!

Take care

Hello everyone! We hope your weekend is off to a good start. We're here today to announce the winner of our November sketch challenge, and to feature a few layouts.

Let's start by selecting a winner:

Entry #5 belongs to Kathleen White! Congratulations, Kathleen. As the winner, you will receive a package of Blue Fern Studios chipboard. Please send an e-mail, within the next 7 days, to {valerie(at)bluefernstudios(dot)com} to claim your prize. Kathleen created this festive layout using paper from the Vintage Christmas collection.

We have also selected 3 layouts to feature from those entered in our sketch challenge.

Marina Gridasova

We loved the beautiful colors Marina used for this layout, and the leaves that are scattered around. The top paper is from the Blue Fern Ombre Dreams collection and she has also used a couple of chipboard pieces.

France Ringuette

France has used an awesome title for her layout - "I am Simply Me" which tells her story of believing in herself. Love how she has added the Blue Fern chipboard frame behind her photos, and added a splash of color to her layout.

Marie-Eve Bernard

Our third feature this month comes from Marie-Eve who will be joining the Blue Fern Creative Team in 2016. Don't you just love how she has used the Chunky Heart Panel on this layout?

We hope you have enjoyed this look back at our November sketch challenge.
