April Pages . . . created by Sharon!

Hi Everyone!

I have been anxiously awaiting Spring and it seems to finally be here. I am very happy and excited to be sharing the layouts that I created for April! ♥  So here goes . . .


My first two pages were made with the amazing "Wanderlust" collection:



I absolutely love this gorgeous collection!  To me, it is perfect for vacation and summer photos.


♥ My First Layout:  Fantastic Getaway



I fussy cut a favorite photo of my daughter, Anne, taken back in the Summer of 2013 to use as the basis for my page.  I thought it would be wonderful to use "Seascape" as my background paper.  Isn't the paper beautiful?



I featured 2 different laces here - Lace 6 and Lace 11.  And I LOVED embossing directly on my page using the Buttercup Embossing Powder along with one of the crackle texture stamps in the "sandy" area of the background paper.

Here are some close ups:

Paper: Wanderlust "Escape"
Chipboard: Wanderlust Chipboard Shapes
Embossing Powder: Buttercup
Stamp: Crackle Texture
Flowers: Chesterville Blooms
Seedlings: Glass
Lace:  Lace 6, Lace 11



My Second Layout:  Enjoy the Journey



I found a wonderful photo of the carousel at Bryant Park that I took during one of our visits to NYC!  I thought the lyrics from a favorite Joni Mitchell song of mine, "Circle Game," would be perfect here.  

Again, I thoroughly enjoyed using the paper from the Wanderlust Collection.  This time I picked  the flip side of "Pacific Coast" to use in my background: 



I just love these beautiful colors!!


And I decorated the chipboard carousel horse here on my page, too.

Here are some close ups:





I also want to mention that I loved working with the Ivory, Green Ivory and Antique Gold embossing powders and the Wintergreen Seedlings to create my Carousel Horse!

Blue Fern Product List:
Paper: Wanderlust "Pacific Coast" and "Memento"
Chipboard: Carousel Horse, Wanderlust Printed Chipboard Shapes
Embossing Powder:  Ivory, Green Ivory, Antique Gold
Flowers: Apricot Blooms, Chesterville Blooms
Seedlings: Wintergreen


I thoroughly enjoyed making both of these pages using Blue Fern Studios' Wanderlust
collection  - using all of their items made it a pleasure to scrap!


And my third page was made using the gorgeous "Remnants" collection:



My Third LayoutRemember this Day


I came across this treasured photo of my dad and I taken on my wedding day on March 3, 1990.  I have always loved this photo and thought that using the "Remnants" collection would be a perfect way to scrap it. 


Just gorgeous!!!


I used the lyrics from Amy Grant and Gary Chapman's song 
"My Father's Eyes."  I get teary eyed just thinking of this moment!!!

Some close ups:




I totally enjoyed using the Turkish Panel chipboard embossed with "Ivory" embossing powder!  And embossing directly on my page using the firework-like stamps from the "Christmas Collage" stamp set.

I am going to cherish this page for years to come thanks to the Blue Fern Studios products!

Blue Fern Product List:
Paper: Remnants "Westfield"
Chipboard: Turkish Panel, Remnants Printed Chipboard Shapes
Embossing Powder: Ivory
Stamp: Christmas Collage
Flowers: Happy Roses, Fresh Florals, Remnants Florals

I hope that I inspired you to create.  I find that it easy and fun when I use BFS!!

Thank you so much . . . and happy scrapping everyone!

November inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties

Today I'm up on Blue Fern Studios blog with three new projects.The first one is a layout featuring both Vintage Christmas collections.


I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I stamped randomly with the Jingle Bells and the Christmas Collage stamps. When done, I added a design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste. I let dry naturally.


In the meantime, I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the snowflakes with the Icicle embossing powder.


I painted all the leaves with a green watercolor, then I sprinkled them with the Fern and the Clover embossing powders to add some texture.


I cut a few pieces of paper to add under the photo as well as a piece of lace. 


The crackle paste dry, I added some green to the background before gluing all the embellishments with a 3D gel. 


To finish the layout I added some seedlings.

My second project featured also the Vintage Christmas collection. I worked with white and gold colors to remind those of the Christmas tree.


First I primed the background with clear gesso. When dry, I added an embossed design made with the Jingle Bells stamp and the Honey embossing powder. Next, I added another design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste.


While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the Rose leaves, the Fern leaves, and the Snowflakes with white gesso as well as the flowers. I covered the Swirl Ornaments with Gold crackle paste.


I splattered the background with acrylic paints: one gold, the other white pearl. I used those same paints to color the Snowflakes and the Amber Blooms.


I covered the Rose and the Fern leaves with Platinum Crackle paste and let them dry naturally.


I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.


To finish the layout I added seedlings and glitter.

Here is my last November project: I made three simple Xmas cards with lace, paper and embossing powder.


The three cards are made on the same model.


I cut a triangle in the Homemade paper from the Homespun collection to make the Xmas tree.


I covered the triangles with laces.


I used some left over from the Quatrefoil panel and from the Quilted Page panel to represent the Christmas Tree balls. I embossed them with the Ginger and the 14 Karat powder. 


The card bases were stamped with Versamark and embossed.
