Hi everyone! It's hard to believe that it is July 13 already! As I write this post, we are in the middle of a heat wave here in Pennsylvania - we have an extremely high heat/humidity advisory for the next few days, so it's a perfect time to stay indoors scrap!!
Today I am excited to share my July Blue Fern Studios layouts with you . . .
Layout #1: One Cute Chick
I went straight to the beautiful "Tattered Walls" collection. This time, I used "The Carolina Room" as the basis for my page. I utilized both sides:
It's such gorgeous paper, I knew exactly which photos I wanted to use for my layout. These sweet pictures of Anne were taken on Mother's Day, 2009. Every time I see that smile, my heart melts!♥
Back to scrapping . . . I really enjoyed using the "One Cute Chick" chipboard and embossed it with "Pixie Dust" embossing powder.
It's a DREAM to work with!!! I also used one of the birds from the "A Spring Day" collection and embossed it with the sparkly "Goldenrod" embossing powder!
Here are is a close up:

Layout #2: Blessed
I already had the photo of my daughters, Katie and Anne, in mind when I started making this page. I took this photo for our Christmas card in November of 2013. Once again, I thought the tattered walls collection was perfect for this treasured picture.
I used "The Garage."
Isn't it cool that all of these papers are named after a room? I love that!
I also used "The Powder Room" to back my photo and to punch out my snowflakes:
I embossed the "Blessed" and "Christmas Tree" chipboard pieces with the "Ivory" embossing powder. I have to mention that I have never found better embossing powder than that made by Blue Fern Studios! The Ivory EP is wonderful and no others match up to it! (And because it's a neutral, I use it so often that I need to order more soon.)
Here are some close ups of my layout:
And I really had fun decorating my chipboard Christmas tree with pieces from Lace 9C:

Layout #3: Love This Moment
I totally enjoyed making this last page using a photo of the group of children that were adopted with Anne when we got together at Pearl S Buck for an adoption picnic. This "travel group" photo was taken in the summer of 2009!
I love the Homespun collection and that it was perfect for this photo. I used the flip side of "Hospitality:"
I altered these chipboard pieces:
"Opulence:"
"Love This Moment:"
This time I embossed both pieces with "Taupe" embossing powder, then to change things up a bit, I distressed each piece.
Here are some close ups:
I also enjoyed embossed directly on my page using the "Christmas Collage" stamp set and "Pearl" embossing powder.
