Two New Projects for Scrap FX!

Hi everyone!  It's almost the end of February and I am excited to share my two new Scrap FX projects with you today!  

My first project:  
I made a canvas using the "Fragments of Time" Scrap FX chipboard title and their "Antiquities" transparency:

This is totally out of my comfort zone!!!  But I really enjoyed making it.  I used mixed media products, such a gesso, mists, stamps, ink pens, and a Scrap FX chipboard title that I embossed with black and gold embossing powder.

I used pieces from this "Antiquities" transparency:

It was so easy to add these elements to my project by cutting out parts of this transparency.  I totally enjoyed making it!!!

My second project: 
I made a scrapbook page entitled  "A Different Perspective."

I used a photo that I took while at Dorney Park in October of last year:

Here is my page:

I made my own background, starting with white 12 x 12 Bazzill cardstock, then used mists, cut patterned paper, and gold Stampin Up stickers. I especially enjoyed incorporating Scrap Fx chipboard pieces that I heat embossed with black, gold,  and silver embossing powders.  

Here are the Scrap FX Chipboard pieces that I used for this page:

Blue Fern Studios Remnants layouts!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am very excited to be a part of the amazing Blue Fern Studios design team for 2018!

I cannot wait to share my first layouts with you.  Please check out the Blue Fern Studios blog to see what the talented design team members are creating!

First of all, I used the beautiful Remnants collection for all 3 of my pages this month:

And without further ado, here are my 3 layouts:

Layout #1:  Families are Forever

I used a photo of my twin sister (I told you we are identical!!), my older sister, and me from way back when!  My older sister passed away some years ago from ovarian cancer, and I miss her dearly . . .  I love this butterfly quote and thought it went perfectly with this paper and stamp from the Remnants collection.

My layout was made with love in my sister's memory.

Here are some close-ups:

 I mounted my photo on the opposite side of the beautiful Beaumont paper from the Remnants collection.  Next I framed it with Dreamcatcher chipboard that I embossed with Blue Fern Garnet embossing powder.  I enjoyed adorning it wth the beautiful Remnants chipboard shapes and Remnants blooms, too!

To make my title, I embossed Families are Forever chipboard with Antique Gold embossing powder. Then sprinkled it with some lovely flaming and glass seedlings!

Here is another view:

My favorite part was using the butterfly quote by Dave Hedges to personalize it in memory of my dear sister.  The butterflies on the paper are just perfect here!!!!

Layout #2:  Find Joy in the Journey

This time I used a photo taken on the Asbury Park, NJ, boardwalk on a misty morning.  I was inspired by the moody and beautiful Remnants paper collection!

Here are some close ups:

I framed my photo with Remnants Mayfair and embossed the edges with Dark Chocolate embossing powder.  I also added 2 chipboard Industrial Corners embossed with Dark Chocolate embossing powder to add to the mood.

I enjoy stamping on my pages and love the Remnants Collage stamp!

This page was a labor of love for me.  I thoroughly enjoyed making it using all of the amazing Blue Fern products!!!

Layout #3:  Live Your Dream

I absolutely LOVE the Remnants collection and couldn't stop creating with it.  I picked a photo of my mom taken long before she became a mom or a teacher, which was her dream.  It wasn't easy for women to go to college back then, and I always used her as my example!!

Here are some close ups:

I used the chipboard Live Your Dream as my title and embossed it with the gorgeous Copper embossing powder.  I also embossed the chipboard Braided Frame with Copper embossing powder to give my layout a cohesive feel.  Don't you just love the photo of my mom?  She was so stylish and beautiful!!!

I know I have said this before, but I just have to say again how much I love the Remnants collection and creating my 3 pages with it.
