August Blue Fern Studios' Layouts!

Hi everyone!

I have been looking forward to sharing 3 new layouts that I made using Blue Fern Studios' products with all of you!  I went with a family theme for the month of August.  I wanted to share how easy it is to make layouts that mean something to you!!!

So without further ado, here they are:

Layout #1:  Life is Full of Surprises

I used a photo that I took of my daughter, Anne, in 2012.  She loved to ride her bike(and still does) and got on it one afternoon, still in her dress after going to church.  I have hidden journaling about this tucked under the photo.

For this layout, I used the gorgeous "Tattered Walls" collection.  I really love all of the beautiful paper in this collection.  This particular paper is entitled "The Sun Room."  

Here is a close up:

As you can see, I stamped and embossed directly on the edges of my page to bring your eye directly to the photo.  I also embossed my chipboard with Buttercup embossing powder.  You have to try Blue Fern Studios' embossing powder - it is a dream to use!!!

Here is another view:

Layout #2:  Fabulous

For this layout, I used a photo of my niece, Sarah, age 3, and my daughter Katie, age 8, taken for Mother's Day in 1997.  

This time, I used the beautiful and versatile "In the Mood" collection.  I love how the pinks and reds of the paper go perfectly with the pinks of Sarah's and Katie's dresses.  

To give you a better look, here is a close up:

Layout #3:  Our Family

This layout features the very gorgeous Tattered Walls collection.  The paper is entitled "The Carport."  (I have said this before, but I just love how each of these papers are named after a room!)  

I featured photos of our immediate family that you have seen before, but I wanted to scrap all of my favs.  

I especially loved using the small chipboard frames embossed in gold and the gold Lace 9C!

Here are some close ups:

I stamped and embossed the edges of my paper with the "Night Sky" embossing powder.   I also embossed the chipboard solar dangles with it.  To me, Night Sky EP is spectacular and goes perfectly with this patterned paper, too.

June Tattered Walls Pages made for Blue Fern Studios!

Hi everyone!  I am so happy to be here today sharing three new scrapbook pages that I made using the gorgeous "Tattered Walls" paper collection for the Blue Fern Studios design team:

To me, this is a "must-have" collection for any scrapbooker.  It is so versatile  and each and every page is absolutely beautiful.  So without further ado, here are my pages . . .

Layout #1:  Family

I decided to use the cool "Powder Room" paper:

And one of my favorite parts of making this page was using the "Stone Cottage" chipboard piece.

  I decorated it with Taupe and Blue Sky embossing powder:

And I did the same with the Chipboard "Family" word, too.

Here's a different view:

I especially liked scrapping a treasured family photo of the four of us, using this beautiful collection.

Paper: Tattered Walls "the Powder Room"

Chipboard: Stone Cottage, "Family"

Embossing Powder: Taupe, Sky Blue

Flowers: Spring Blooms, Wanderlust Lilies

Seedlings: Aquamarine

Lace:  Lace 1, Lace 2, Lace 10

Ephemera:  Tattered Walls

Layout #2:  Sweet Memories

I came across some old photos from my wedding day, and just had to scrap this one!

I used the stunning "Maid's Rom" paper:

Here is a close up so that you can get a better look:

The "Glam Frame" and "Memories" chipboard pieces worked very well here.  And the taupe embossing powder is a dream to work with!!

Also, I stamped the musical notes and embossed directly on my page using the 

"For the Birds" stamp set:

Layout #3:  Our Story

I used the other side of "the Maid's Room" paper because it resembled a book and went perfectly with my "Our Story" theme, which is based on my daughter's love for each other.

The centerpiece of this page is this beautiful "Fancy Love" stamp set:

I embossed directly on my page, and stamped over the embossing in black to bring out "Love One Another" better:
