Sharon's September pages . . .

Hi everyone . . . September is here and with it came such sad news about the closing of BFS.  I know that the scrapbook world will never be the same. 

Today I would like to share 3 new layouts with you. Two were made with the newest collection:  "Happy Accident 2," and the first I made using "In the Mood," which is one of my favorites.

Layout #1:  Sweethearts

I featured a photo of my mom and dad on their wedding day here.  She was 19 and he was 21 when they got married.  So young!  The "In the Mood" collection seemed perfect for this treasured photo.  

Here is a close up:

I loved the "plenty of gems" chipboard pieces and embossed and decorated them with Taupe EP and pink topaz seedlings.

And another view:

My last two layouts were made with the newest (and amazing, I must add!) Happy Accident 2 collection:

Layout #2:  Smile Because it Happened

I highlighted a special photo of my daughter, Anne and three of her friends taken at "Chinese Camp" in 2012.  

Here is a close up:

A subtle change I made to the back of a pretty frame from the ephemera kit - I stamped it with the fleur wallpaper stamp, and embossed it with baby pink embossing powder:

And finally, here is a different view:

Layout #3:  Be the Light

Once again, I used papers from the gorgeous Happy Accident 2 collection.  

For this layout, I scrapped photo of my daughters, Katie and Anne taken when we were walking at Jacobsburg Park last summer.  I love how the light is shining through the woods in the photo which inspired this entire pare.  

Here is a close up:

I felt that the chipboard piece "Be the Light" was so ideal here!  I embossed it with Blue Sky embossing powder.  And I also used the Scripture from Matthew 5:16 on my journaling tag from the ephemera pack.

Another close-up:

It's subtle, but I wanted you to see how I embossed directly on my page using the 
Accidental Collage stamp.

Here's a different view:

Sharon's May Pages!

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that May is here already.  I am very excited to be sharing my layouts with you this month!  

Here are my 3 scrapbook pages . . .  


 My First Layout:  Home Sweet Home




I used the Homespun collection for my first page.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I love the flip side of "Tea Time"(as seen below) and used it as the basis for my first layout:






Here is my 12 x 12 page:






I picked our family's Christmas card photo from 2016, which is one of my all-time favorite photos of our family.  This gorgeous paper compliments it beautifully, I think.  

A close up:



And a different view:




I especially enjoyed embellishing the raw chipboard floral/flourish wreath with embossing powder and glitter; and using the Homespun Printed Chipboard on this page.  I mixed things up by adding some Remnants Blooms here, too.

My Second Layout:  Spring Fever




I picked a photo that I took of Anne way back in 2010 when she was enjoying a Spring day.

Some close ups to give you a better look at the details:




And a different view:



This layout was so much fun and very easy to make!  I LOVED using the gorgeous "In the Mood" collection.  The BFS glitter really jazzed it up, too!

My Third Layout:  Each Day


This page was so much fun to make!  I especially loved embellishing the beautiful chipboard "Castle of Dreams."  I found it complemented a photo of me (from back in 2002) perfectly.  I actually met Cinderella at Disney World and have a funny story to tell about that experience.  I told my story in hidden journaling on the back of my page.

Here are some close ups:



And a different view:


I have to mention that both of my daughters absolutely love this page, especially the castle!

May projects by France Ringuette

Good morning bloggers, It's my turn to showcase some fun projects made with various paper collections from Blue Fern Studios. Today, I'll be sharing with you, 2 cards and 2 layouts.


Project # 1 May Mother's day cards

Mother's day is just around the corner and I thought I would provide your 2 different cards that I made for my mother and mother in law.



First Card

For this card, I used papers from Homespun collection, Minis & Picturesque papers, Lace 10, Embossing Powders Cotton Candy, Flowers Christmas & Heartland blooms.



Second Card

For this card, I used the same paper collection, but added different elements like the use of the Honeycomb stamp set, 14 Karat Emblossing Powder, Barb's Medallion chipboard, Chesterville Blooms Flowers & Lace 4.



Layout #1: Cherish

This amazing picture was the inspiration for this next layout, my friend Brittany's daughter is just too cute for words in her peach tutu. I was inspired to use the Amber & Apricot collection for this layout.


From the Amber & Apricot collection I chose to use: Flora, Friendship & Tweet Melody papers

Under the photo I used the Amber & Apricot printed chipboard with a touch of colored cotton cloth. In my floral arrangements I used flowers from the Apricot Blooms & Harvest Lilies sets.


I decided to cut out the little bird and feathers from one of my papers to add onto the side of my picture. I love the softness it was bringing.

The Cherish chipboard is simply stained a bid darker for more contrast with the paper. You will also find under the Amber & Apricot flowers, an embossed image of the Weathered Doily Stamp in Baby Pink embossing powder.


***********************

Layout #2: Happy

I've had my heart set on crafting this beautiful picture of my niece with her family for a while now. When going thru my papers, I fell on Pacific Coast from the Wanderlust paper collection and knew that this was the perfect one for this picture.




I started by applying a coat of white gesso under my picture are to highlight the focus. Then added some touched of sepia stamping with the Remnants Collage Stamp Set

I used various papers from the Wanderlust collection to build my layers under my picture. I hear embossed in Breeze color the Happy chipboard title.


The chicken wire chipboard is painted in 2 different colors to give it an old look. 


The last step was to stamp some flowers, add a few drop of white gesso, and there you go an old feel kind of  layout.
