Three Layouts Featuring The Frolic Collection

Hi eveyone!  Debbie here with you today sharing 3 layouts I created with the new Frolic paper collection.  I love the colors in this collection, perfect for your summer photos.  

My first layout highlights the Amoroso, Dans le Jardin, Friendship and Calling Cards paper.  I thought they were perfect for a somewhat masculine layout.
Lots of layering behind my photo and some fussy cutting.

I used the Collage Border and Bits of Honey chipboard, both of which I primed with some gesso and then colored with water colors.

My flower cluster on the right hand side along with some of the Bits Of Honey chipboard.

As you can see I again used some of the Bits Of Honey chipboard and the word Noted from the Arrow Words which I colored with some water color paints.

My next layout is a feminine one.  Love the pretty color combinations in the background paper, Mercantile. I also used the Friendship and Calling Cards papers. 
 Lots of subtle stamping with the Forever and Vintage stamps.

From the Arrow Words I used Love This, which I covered with gesso and applied some gelatos.   I also used the Gatsby Collage which I also covered with gesso and then added some gelatos and micro beads

Tucked beneath my cluster of flowers in the new Floral Lattice Bits chipboard.

Here I used more of the Floral Lattice Bits and added some micro beads.

My last layout I created using the August sketch and the Friendship, Allegro, Dans le Jardin and Calling Cards papers.  I added some stenciling and mists on my background to blend with my flowers. My photo is backed with a chipboard piece from the Paisley and Vine Medley and some Mini Flourish chipboard pieces are nestled among the flowers.


My title Smile is from the Smile, Funny, Giggle set which I colored with some gelatos.


Here you can see more of the Paisley & Vine Medley chipboard which I painted with gesso and misted.  I cut a few butterflies from the Dans le Jardin paper and added them to my clusters.

I hope you have enjoyed my layouts.  Don't forget that you still have time to enter our August Sketch Challenge.  You can find all of the details here.

Thanks for stopping by!

First DT Projects By Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my first projects as a designer for Blue Fern Studios.  I'm thrilled to be designing for Blue Fern Studios and I hope that I inspire you with my projects.  
Here is a little about me . . .


I have a shabby chic style and have been scrapbooking for 15 years.  I live in the beautiful state of Maryland near our nation's capitol.  I am an Assistant Project Manager for a general contracting company.  Evenings and weekends you can find me in my scrapbook room or outside tending to my flower gardens.  You can find my blog here:

For my first layout I used papers from the Deja Vu Collection; Luminaries, Lustre, Tresors and Petities Cartes.  Love the gorgeous colors and details in the papers.

A few details:
Here I used the Butterfly Damask chipboard which I embossed with white embossing powder.

I cut pieces from the Quartre Foil chipboard and embossed with white embossing power.  I randomly placed pieces on my layout.

Here I have used the chipboard word Special which I inked purple.
Products used:
Deja Vu Collection:
Luminaries
Lustre
Tresors
Petites Cartes
Chipboard:Butterfly Damask
Perfect, Adorable, Special
Quartre Foil

For my second layout I used papers from the Love Story Collection; Amazing Heart, Sweet Song and Calling Cards.  Another beautiful collection of papers!  Love the colors!

A few details:
Tucked being my photo is the new Photo Arches chipboard which I painted with some Shimmerz Inklingz in Sheer Bliss and then embossed with some white embossing powder.

I cut the bottom strip off of the paper and used it as my title and placed in on the Flutter Medley chipboard which I painted with the Shimmerz Inklingz Sheer Bliss and embossed with white embossing powder.  I held my heat gun close to the chipboard to obtain the bubbled texture.  I stamped some of my paper layers with the Vintage Edges stamp.

Here I used the chipboard word love from the Adore, Love, Cherish set which I covered with some red dimensional paint.
Products used:
Love Story Collection:
Amazing Heart
Sweet Song
Calling Cards
Chipboard:
Flutter Medley
Photo Arches
Adore, Love, Cherish
Stamp:

For my final layout I used papers from the Love Story collection; Amazing Heart, The Grand Ball and Calling Cards to create this vintage layout.

A few details:
I embossed a piece from the Spring Trinkets set along with a circle piece from the Brick Rings  chipboard with some Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel.  Love the mix of colors.  I added some pink bling to the centers of the flowers

The word adorable from the Perfect, Adorable, Special set was inked with pastel pink.

This beautiful chipboard piece is from the Deja Vu Dangles which I also embossed with the shabby pink embossing enamel and added a little metal bird cage.

Moments in Time with Jelissa

Hi everyone!

Where has all the time gone to? We're already in the month of May and I'm happy to share a layout I created for Blue Fern Studios using the gorgeous new Deja Vu collection.

Here is the project:


I picked these papers from the collection as they matched the colors from my photo quite perfectly. It's one of the very few of me with my kids as I'm usually the one behind the camera.

Here are some close-ups:


Layering gorgeous Blue Fern Studios chipboards with the papers and burlap. I had used quite a number of mediums for this page and the chipboards and some of you have already asked for the colors as well. These can be found in my personal blog post.




My title piece, from "Petite Cartes", and more layering with chipboard, papers and lace.




My usual floral cluster.


Some details of the lace and chipboard, which I colored to look like the background paper.


Mini tags made from "Petite Cartes" cut-out.

And here is the start to finish video of how I put this whole page together:



Blue Fern Studios products used:

Deja Vu collection - Petite Cartes, Friperies
Chipboards - Chelsea Vines, Ironworks Medley, Tangier Page Panel
Vintage Edges stamp set

And that's all I have for today. Have a great day ahead!

love,
