IN THE mood layout by Yuko


Hello!friesnds!I like February!
Because there is a Valentine's Day
Because the world will be full of hearts!

Using the very sweet In the mood collection
I made three sheets of layouts with hearts!





【ALL You Need is Love】


A special dress shot taken on her daughter 's anniversary.
I was looking forward to using this picture very much!

In this monnd collection
I brought the paper with the softest image to the backing.
Just like a slightly deep pink accentuates
I cut the paper narrowly and run it in a line shape in both length and width.









Chipboard of the same collection is also very cute!

I used the heart inside and applied the paper from the back.


The title paints the chip board white with Gesso
I put a glitter (Rose Gold) on the bottom.
This Rose Gold glitter,
As the name suggests, there is a pink lame in the gold
It is very cute color ❤


I cut out the stamped paper and used it.
I also love this stamp (Deja Vu) and I use it many times.
Because BFS's elegant atmosphere fits any paper
I am doing great success!



The race is BFS's too!
Even using only a little makes it very gorgeous!

I pushed the letters of (Distressed Titles) FAMLY of this stamp.





Press the dot stamp on the background
Embossed with antique gold.


Wings of this heart stamp (Winged Hearts)I cut and pasted what I did.


This texture stamp (Tattered Harlequin) is also
I use it many times as a favorite.

【grateful for YOU】
It is a unique culture in Japan.
School bags to buy when going to elementary school.
Do you know?
I am deeply impressed with having grown with this.


Because my daughter's clothes are navy
The selected paper is pink × red and black
Paper that has become a good feeling accent .
If the surroundings are black it will tighten!



Embossed powder (wheat) was used for the title.
It is a very elegant gold and is my favorite color



The butterfly chip board is embossed using pastel pink embossed powder
I sprinkled two kinds of Seedling
It is transparent pink (sweet pea) and metallic pink (mauve).


I often use an alphabetic stamp
Always do not feel like pushing
I dare dare to put it on an acrylic block 
and hold it with my hand and press the stamp
This is useful because it seems to be hidden from the beginning! ! !

Sandi's August creations ~ Seaside Cottage

Hello, hello! 
Sandi here with you today!
I'm posting late this month due to vacation and lots of increased family activities! 
But I was so thrilled to receive my Blue Fern Studios Seaside Cottage collection! 
It is so unique and I love the vintage take on "beach."  


My photo is of a statue named Sirena that resides along Salado Creek in Salado, Texas. She had to be moved to higher ground a few years ago after some flooding of the creek. But she's a must-see every time we stop by there. My husband grew up in that area and we have made frequent trips over the years. 

My base is the beautiful Embark paper. I've also layered some B sides of Mermaid and the Calling Cards paper. Then I used the A side of Calling Cards for my photo layers. 



The Seaside Flourish chipboard is amazing! I want more! I coated it with gesso and them embossed with Oatmeal, Ginger and a hint of Mushroom. You can also see my Seaside Mermaid chippy here. Her upper body is embossed with Oatmeal Emobssing Powder and her lower body with In the Navy. Then I sprinkled some texture beads over that for interest. You can also see my Seaside Lily and my Attic Charm Daisy. 



This title piece could be used so many different ways for almost any theme! I did an ombre sort of embossing with it, the upper portion is done with Oatmeal, the lower portion with In the Navy and a slight bit of Mushroom in the middle. Tucked a lovely Seaside lily under my photo layers. These are such fantastic flowers! We now have them in a variety of colors! 



I've included this close-up to highlight the stamping I've done with the widgets stamp. On this month's projects, I've tried to reduce the clutter of mixed media, so that you can see all the beautiful images and prints on the paper itself. 



I added texture beads to my Seaside Flourish pieces as well. It makes an interesting combination with the shiny look of the Ginger Embossing Powder. 



Aw, sigh, just have to share some fun dimension! That's what chipboard and flowers are all about, right? There are hints of cheesecloth as an under layer for even more texture.

The Whitewash paper from Seaside Cottage is my absolute fave! Grunge to the max! But still beautifully vintage! It could be used for so many themes! 

The gorgeous Seashell Frame chipboard piece was embossed with my fave combination of Oatmeal, 
Ginger, Mushroom and Nutmeg Embossing Powder over wet gesso.  I got the wet gesso idea from Wilma! It looks amazing! 

  

  Here's a close-up of the Seashell Frame. The wet gesso helps cease a bubbly effect that is so apropos. 
You can see some Calling Card pieces here as well as some Seaside Lilies and Roses. I also did a tiny bit of paint splattering which you can see. 



Another item created especially for this collection is
 "A Walk on the Beach" chipboard title, which I've embossed 
with Blue Fern Studios Ginger Embossing Powder. Then I dabbed it with white gesso. 
Of course, I had to add a couple of lilies there as well! 



The finishing touches were added, and the layout was embellished with 
 flowers from the Seaside Lilies and Seaside Roses flower collections. They were paint splattered and got a dab of gesso as well! 

 I am in the planning stages of more projects with Seaside Cottage. My dad was in the Navy and I want to scrap some of him in his uniform! This is the perfect collection for those vintage photos of him.

Paper: Seaside Cottage Whitewash, Calling Cards
Chipboard: Seashell Frame, A Walk on the Beach title

I'll be back in a few weeks with my September creations! It hardly feels like it should be August already and yet it's nearly over! My wall calendar still says June … 

See you then!

May Inspiration with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans!

Sandi here with you today sharing 3 projects using 3 different collections. Because I work ahead, only one of these is done using our newest Tranquility collection. However, that gave me a chance to catch up on some faves. 
This month it seemed that "my jam" was using a mix of embossing powders and glitters on a single chipboard piece. So fun!


"Memories Captured"

My new favorite! This is one of those projects that is so sparkly in real life but is hard to capture with the camera. I've used the gorgeous Serendipity papers and layered and stamped them to create a unique effect. The darker pattern is Reminisce, side B. It provides such a dramatic backdrop.




The Deja Vu Atelier chipboard, as well as the Captured Words title chipboard were altered with black gesso as a primer and then glammed with Oatmeal, Garnet and Cotton Candy Embossing Powders along with some Dusty Rose glitter.




The contrast of the Oatmeal Embossing Powder on the blackened chipboard almost gives a silvery sheen. I love experimenting with different combinations! Here I've added a fussy cut butterfly and some of the Courtship Lane Roses and Blooms. I used the Courtship Lane branding strip as a subtitle.  Off to the right you can spy some of the Halftone stamping. 



The title is from the Captured Words set and is treated the same as the Atelier chipboard. To the right and under it, I've layered in a Whimsy Flourish that was colorized with a gelato and then enhanced with some random embossing using Lime Embossing Powder. Again, some Courtship Lane blooms were added. 



The Aloha Flower chipboard was primed with white gesso, then colored with gelato and and again randomly embossed. For consistency, I've used Lime on the stem and leaves, Cotton Candy on the flower itself. 

Blue Fern Studios products used:
Paper: Serendipity Contemplation, Reminisce, Anticipation and Calling Cards, Courtship Lane branding strip
Chipboard:  Captured Words, Deja Vu Atelier Chippie, Aloha Flowers, Whimsy Fourishes
Stamps: Halftone
Embossing Powder: Oatmeal, Garnet, Cotton Candy, Lime
Glitters: Dusty Rose
Flowers: Courtship Lane Roses, Courtship Lane Blooms

"Dream Big"

This next layout was so fun for me because it's a little different from my usual style. But with a photo this cute, you just have to let it inspire you!
 This is my sweet granddaughter MacKayla and her new foal.

Since this girl loves going to the barn, I thought this particular paper from Autumn Anthology (Cottage) might fit the bill. I used a few others for layers and stamped the background with the Dreamy stamp.
I grabbed some of the older Chicken Wire chipboard, inked it and tucked it in.




The right corner flourish you see is actually a trimmed corner from the Rose Frame chipboard piece which is almost 11x11 inches. Once again I went with priming with black gesso and adding a combination of fun Embossing Powders. This  time I've used a combination of the paper and the photo for my inspiration.  So, first, Seven Seas, then Tangerine and lastly Honey Embossing Powder. At the end of my composition, I dabbed with white gesso. A couple of Courthsip Lane blooms and that part was done! The little left hand corner piece was treated the same.

Since the Pretty Weeds flowers are right there to the left, let's talk about them. The flowers were embossed with Bonny Blue Embossing Powder while the stems were inked. Love how they brighten things up! 




I needed my title chipboard "Dream Big" (from the Optimist Set) to be light in  color, so I used the Bonnie Blue Embossing Powder again. Then later dabbed with white gesso. Here you can also see that left hand piece of the Rose Frame and more of the Pretty Weeds. And of course, good old Chicken Wire! All that was left was to add some more of the Courtship Blooms.




One more Pretty Weed over to the right of the little house image … which I'm imagining as a barn! 

Blue Fern Studios products used:
Paper: Autumn Anthology Cottage, Mercantile, Newsworthy, Calling Cards
Chipboard: Chicken wire, Rose Frame, Pretty Weeds, The Optimist Word Set
Stamps: Dreamy
Embossing Powder: Bonny Blue, Seven Seas, Honey, Tangerine

"Blissful" 

Last but not least is my example for the Tranquility Reveal. 
My primary background paper is the B side of the Hushed paper. More Hushed paper was utilized as torn photo layers to help build the background along with a Calling Card. I've done some stenciling and added some random mist colors from my stash. 

All my chipboard pieces were treated the same to create a cohesive look. I've again done multiple embossing powder over clear gesso. 



Some Organic Coins were used as a photo layer and embossed with In the Navy, Nutmeg and Garnet Embossing Powder.  Fool's Gold Glitter was also added in for sparkle. The Scalloped Border chipboard is just barely peeking out on each side of the photo. My Blissful title was treated the same as well. 
I enjoyed using the new Tranquility Flowers on this page, so added them generously! 



A better look at that Scalloped Border chipboard and Blissful title. 
You can see bits of the Making Plans stamping that was done as I was preparing my background. I've used black splattered paint as a finishing touch. I also added some black dots to my lilies to make them more life-like. 



Just wanted to share one more image of these gorgeous Tranquility Roses and Lilies.
