Watching YOU Put our Designs to Work

We love seeing how all of you use our products and choose one day each month to feature some of your layouts.  Get ready to be amazed and inspired.


This entry is the first one Joyce created for her altered book project.  She has used several pieces of Blue Fern chipboard in a very elegant way.  Did you notice how she has dressed it up pearls?  Joyce is one of our prior Creative Team members.



Keeping with the vintage look, Angelica has added our Seasonal Wildflowers (one of my all-time favorite pieces of chipboard), to this stunning layout.



We spotted this beauty on Irina's blog.  She has used a Blue Fern title on this layout featuring a photo of her sister.



Look at how Ulrika used paper from the Montage Collection with these photos of her sweet little guy riding his bicycle ---really fast!



Tracey created this very romantic layout using paper from our Montage Collection.



We found this layout created by Ayumi of Japan, titled "This is Paradise".  The beautiful background paper is from our Ombre Dreams Collection.   She also added a couple of pieces of Blue Fern chipboard.



Maggi used our beautiful Jeweled Frame, which she altered using blue embossing enamel, to focus all the attention on her photograph.



It doesn't always take a lot of chipboard to make an impression as Anna demonstrates in this layout where she has painted the Blue Fern chipboard white and used it as an accent behind her photo.



 Riikka chose to use this beautiful pink paper from our Montage Collection, along with this photo of her with her parents when she was very small. 


Also using paper from our Montage Collection, Yvonne, a former member of our Creative Team, designed this beautiful "Fly Away" canvas.  So very pretty and elegant.


We hope you enjoyed seeing how YOU use our products.  
You keep posting your projects online, and we'll keep looking for them!

Three layouts by Marie-Josée

Hello folks,

I hope you are doing fine today! November is here now, and it will be Christmas soon! Before we get to the holidays and all the Christmas crafts, here are a few non-seasonal layouts!

"Happiness" layout

I used the Joyce's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams collection to create my background. I glued the chipboard to my paper and added gesso with a sponge, as well as color with Gelatos and spray inks.



Here's a close-up view of the Circle Code chipboard, altered with gesso and Gelatos...


... and the Happiness sentiment for the Good Vibes word set, altered with black spray ink.

"Cute Stuff" layout

To create this layout, I used a picture I found on Pinterest. I just loooooooooooooove owls and birds of prey! :)

I used the Shannon's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams collection to create my background.


I cut a piece of the Damask Panel and glued it to my background. Then, I applied gesso with a sponge on top of my chipboard. I added color with Gelatos


And here's the Cute Stuff sentiment for the Good Vibes word set. I did not alter it in any way.

Sketch layout

Finally, I just want to show you my sketch layout, once again.

I did the same thing I did for the two layouts shown above, that is, using Gelatos and spray inks to add colors.

I used the Ginger's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams collection to create my background.

I also cut two pieces of the Turkish Panel and glued them to my background.


Here's my title, created with the Loving You chipboard...




... and a few close-up views...

Our Creative Team is amazing, and we love to show off their layouts using Blue Fern Studios products.  For many of us, memory keeping is all about documenting the lives of our children or grandchildren.  So today we have some layouts from our designers where they have used photos of children.  Enjoy!
