My November's layouts with the Mémoires Collection by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

My turn to share with you some layout with the Memoires collection.  What a beautiful collection to play with!  One of my absolute favorite!  

Angel:

My first layout is the one I have made for the November challenge.  You have to use a chipboard title from Blue Fern Studios.  So much beautiful chipboards to choose from! This layout featured my little boy, my little angel, Léo.


For my layout, I choose the Tale of treasures paper from the Memoires collection.  With the neutral tones of this paper, the possibilities are endless.


On my background, I use the grungy grid stamp set.  Love the texture it brings.  I use the Crackled Bits chipboard set too.  I alter those chipboard with the Imagine Ink Sand and sea Embossing powder.  I


I use the word Angel from the Baby Words chipboard set. First, I ink it in black. I found it to dark on  my layout. So, I add some white marker and some turquoise ink. I was much more happy with the result.  I add some flowers:  Harvest Lilies  and the  Dark tropic Lilies.

Special, adorable, Perfect

For this second layout, I also used the Memoires collection.  The paper I used is Calling Cards.



On this layout I mixed two different set of title sets: Perfect, adorable, special and good vibes.  I just inked them with black ink.  I also used two sets of chipboards :  Techno rings and Industrial gears.  altered them with Imagine Ink Embossing powders in Copper, Chili Powder, Breeze and Seven Seas.  


On my background, I use the Scratched stamp set with  black ink and the Grungy Grid Stamp set with turquoise ink.


Finally, I had some beautiful Blue Fern Studios Flowers: Late Winter Lilies and Memoires Blooms.

Sourire

The Mémoires collection is just perfect for fall layout.   It was the perfect paper to compliment the picture of Mathilde in the pumpkins field.


I use the  Chronicles paper, the remember when paper from the Memoirs collection.  Also had the adobe paper from the timeless collection.


I also use Blue fern flowers:  Late winter lilies, tranquil blooms and  Memoires blooms. 


I love the pretty pumpkins chipboard on that layout.  First, i add a coat of gesso and the chipboard and glue them on the Couture paper from the Timeless collection (I have previously put clear gesso on it).  Once they are dry, I cut them and add color the pumpkins with watercolours.

 
For my title, I use the sourire chipboard.  I put a coat bof gesso and add watercolours. I did the same process with the Organic vine.



hope you enjoy those layouts and that they insured you to play with the wonderful Mémoires Collection,

My september layouts with Seaside Cottage Collection by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

It's my turn to present you the layouts I have created with the new Blue Fern Studios Collection: Seaside Cottage.  The collection is perfect for beach theme layout, but the "B side" of the paper are neutral and can be use for other themes as well.  So, I have created 2 baby boys layouts and the last one is beach themed.  With those layout, I want to present you my little treasure: baby Léo.  He completed our family beautifully.  Daddy is proud (and mommy too) to have is little boy after two beautiful princesses! 

SWEET DREAMS:



On my layout, I use several Blue Fern Studios flowers that I mixed with some others from my stash. The Sweet Dreams Chipboard is emboss twice with the Imagine Ink Mushroom Embossing Powder.



On my background, i use two stamps set to add texture with india ink.  After that, i play with watercolor.  On the chipboards (Jubilation corners), I use Imagine ink Embossing powders.  First, i embossed twice in Mushroom.  Then, I heat again and sprinkle Seamist in the hot embossing powder and heat it again.  I love how it blend together and the texture it's created.

November Inspiration with Jelissa

Hello friends! Hope your weekend of trick n treat has been fun!

I'm up on the Blue Fern Studios blog today to share two layouts. And if you've been wondering, here are my little girl's photos at last! I finally found the time to process them and print them out for scrapping. And I got to say, the feel of a newborn in my arms and their intoxicating smell is just so addictive!

Here is my first layout, based on the November challenge sketch created by Michelle. I used lots of the gorgeous papers from the Autumn Anthology collection - pastels are really my favourite!



My take on the sketch:


This time I've pretty much stuck to the sketch changing only the title. My background is deliberately simple so as not to steal the limelight from the pretty papers  and chipboards.

Some closeups:

Under my flowers, I have the Floral Lattice Bits all heat-embossed and layered on top of strips of papers from the Autumn Anthology papers which I have the edges punched.


The French Ironwork chipboard which I heat-embossed as well - first with two different shades of brown and as an accent, I used the Fern Embossing Powder, one of the many new products from Blue Fern Studios. Some stamping in the background was done with the Garden Frolic stamp set.


Another half of the Floral Lattice Bit which I snipped off to balance the layout. Lots of layering too from different sheets of the collection.


My title, made up of words from two different sets - Baby Words and Perfect, Adorable, Special - which I brushed lightly with paint and inked the edges with gelato.

Blue Fern Studios products used:

Autumn Anthology - Parfumerie, Gazebo, Mercantile
Chipboard - French Ironwork, Perfect, Baby Words, Floral Lattice Bits
Mediums - Embossing Powder (Fern)

My next share is a video tutorial and I had heaps of fun doing it. Each and every one of my kids get a shadow box or canvas for their baby photo and my little girl is no exception. While I really love how sturdy the Blue Fern papers are, I wanted something that I could mount on a wall or display without warping over time. So I chanced upon the idea of transferring the entire sheet of patterned paper over on to my canvas.

Here is the project:


You can see just how different the background paper looks now! Because of the uneven-ness in removing the layers of paper, I had little patches of white all over, with some bits of the canvas exposed. It's a gorgeous white haze effect on top of a very pretty paper, and muted it just enough to fit the theme of the photo.

Some close-ups:


My title piece - I snipped off the "Hush" from "Hush Little Baby" to fit the composition of the canvas.


Aloha Flower chippie, sneaked in between all those layers of Calling Cards cut-outs.


My background is a mixture of simple stenciling as well as heat embossing with another sweet color "Petal" from Blue Fern Studios. I also cut out little butterflies and placed them all over the canvas.


Butterfly Friends chippie helping to fill out the layers and also to create visual flow.


Some of the background details.

And here is the start-to-finish video. That's all I have for you today, so sit back and enjoy!



Blue Fern Studios products used:

Autumn Anthology - Calling Cards, Newsworthy, Balcony
Chipboard - Aloha Flower, Butterfly Friends, Hush Little Baby
Mediums - Embossing Powder (Petal)

April Projects by Melinda Thompson


Hi everyone :)

I have two new projects to share with you today using lots of gorgeous Blue Fern Studios products.
For my 1st layout I have chosen to use some Ombre Dreams papers...so so gorgeous! I have used Charlotte's Dream as the background paper with the Calling Cards as my layers.

"Baby Blues"



I have used the Roman Clock Set - Small and teamed it up with the gorgeous Tattered Butterlies and the word Baby from the Baby Words Set.




I have used lots of mists and inks to blend and tone my chipboard peices in to the colours of my photo and papers.



Products Used:
Paper: Omber Dreams - Charlotte's Dreams & Calling Cards
Chipboard: Roman Clock Set - Small, Tattered Butterflies, Baby



My 2nd project I decided to start with a plain white sheet of cardstock as I wanted to use the Number Grid - Large to be the focus of my layout.

"Smile"


Paper layers behind the photo are from the Sanctuary Collection.  I love that saying that is found on one of the Calling Cards.



I love these peices of chipboard from the Picture Perfect Collection..they are perfect for a fun layout.  I have again used many mists and inks with water to push the colour around on the chipboard.

  



Products Used:
Paper: Sanctuary Collection
Chipboard: Number Grid - Large, Smile, Picture Perfect, Negatives from the Jumbo Rings Panel


Hope you enjoyed my projects...
See you next month and happy scrapping!
