Autumn Anthology with Elena Morgun

Hello, friends!

Elena Morgun here today. I would like to share my new projects created with the fantastic new fall collection ...

   To tell you the truth, I am not a fan of the fall theme. But I loved this collection! I was so excited to finally get it and start creating! The paper with the cards and mushrooms on the other side is my favorite!

Firstly I would like to share the video tutorial on creating two CD boxes with the soft fabric cover that can contain two CDs.
They are 6,5" by 6,5" and may become a great addition to a gift.
Enjoy!

September Sketch Challenge Winner and Featured Layouts

Hello everyone.  Today we would would like to announce the winner of our September sketch challenge and feature some of the amazing layouts that were entered in our challenge last month.  
Our winner, based on a random draw is.................Entry #23, which belongs to Pam Ellis.
Congratulations Pam!   As the winner, you will receive a package of Blue Fern Studios chipboard.  Please send me an e-mail, within the next 7 days, to {valerie(at)bluefernstudios(dot)com} to claim your prize.

Here is the lovely layout that Pam created using paper from the Frolic Collection.  
Behind this amazing photo, she tucked in a piece of the Floral Lattice Bits.


Now we have the pleasure of featuring a few of the amazing layouts that were created by those who entered our sketch challenge last month.


Alena Kabanets of Russia  created this layout using paper from the Ombre Dreams Collection.  The chipboard is from the Marrakesh Panel.  We love how she painted the chipboard a dark brown to add contrast. 




Tiffany Solorio's layout is a perfect example of the elegance.  The soft background paper is from our Autumn Anthology Collection.  She has layered chipboard (Shabby Brick Bits), patterned paper, and lovely flowers to compliment this sweet photo.





The next feature is this Victorian-themed canvas created by Kate (Urban Mermaid), using paper from Autumn Anthology.  In the center of the canvas she used the Tea Medley chipboard piece. There are so many interesting details on this canvas, including the mini tea bags she made. 




Cathy Cafun rotated the sketch and entered this girly pink layout in our sketch challenge.  The paper is from the Frolic Collection and chipboard is the Flutter Page Dangle.  We love all the distressing and paper tearing!


Thank you ladies for inspiring us with your projects this month.  Our October sketch has been posted (see link in our sidebar).  We sure hope you will join us once again!
