Thought Challenge

What if I fall? Oh my darling, what if you FLY? 

Creative Team member Tartine Peluche used a 'thought' on this layout 
instead of a photo and how amazing it turned out! 



What an awesome idea for a challenge!

 Upload your THOUGHT ONLY layout/canvas/project using at least one 
Blue Fern Studio product and use #bfsthought.  You could win 
a complete collection of HAPPY ACCIDENT papers! 
(no photos - quote only)

Our November Challenge

It's hard to believe that November has arrived, but the chill in the air just won't seem to let us forget.  
Are you ready for a new challenge?  This month we are leaving most of it up to you - all except the title.  
We would like for you to create a project using a Blue Fern Studios chipboard title.  
We have SO MANY wonderful titles, and we want to see how you use them.  

We have some examples from our Creative Team.  We gave them no instructions for this challenge, 
and you will see that 3 of them used the same title.  It's one of our beautiful 
longer titles that everyone seems to like.

Keren Tamir



Marie-Eve Bernard



Elena Volchkova



Maya Nowak



Nicole Doiron


Now that you've seen how our Creative Team tackled this challenge, it's your turn.
We will have a prize package for one lucky winner (from a random draw),
and will feature a few projects from YOU at the end of the month!

We ask that you follow these guidelines:

1). You can create any project you please - a layout, card, canvas, altered item
- whatever suits your mood and style!

2.) You must use at least one Blue Fern Studios chipboard title.    
It can be a long title,  a short title, or a single word title. We hope that you will also use 
Blue Fern paper or your project, although this is not required.  
You can find a list of stores that carry Blue Fern products  HERE.
 {Do not use any other brand of chipboard on your project, please!}

3.) Upload your project using the Inlinkz tool below by midnight EST on November 30, 2016.

Have fun with it.  We can't wait to see your projects using our chipboard titles!

Take a look at the awesome layout Ewelina created for the Mood Board:


Your projects for our challenges always amaze us and we would like to feature a few layouts that caught our eye:


Annie Carignan's layout captures the light, airy, feel of the Mood Board with the combination of blue and yellow.




Hee Sun Kim took a very different approach with this interesting mixed media heart canvas.  The texture she has created is amazing!
 
 
 

And of course we had to feature a layout that took the beach theme all the way!  This one from Hiromi has it all - the colors, the feel, and the texture of our Mood Board.  What a fun layout. 


Congratulations to the winner and those who were featured!

To all of you who participated, we say Thank You!  

We hope you will join us for our October Sketch Challenge.  All the details can be found in our sidebar.

The Envelope Please......



Today we have several winners to announce.  First up are the winners from our July Contest.  In case you forgot, in July we asked you to give us some suggestions for chipboard titles.  Wow! - we were amazed by all the great titles you came up with.  As promised, we will select one winner from the blog posts, and one winner from the Facebook posts.  

Even though we are announcing two winners today, we will be using a LOT more of your suggestions, so keep an eye out for new titles and sets of titles.  We may be using yours.

So, here are our winners.  We will be making these titles first:

From the blog: our winner is Aggie who suggested some school related words/titles such as:  
You've Got This, A+, Learning Something New, Reading, Studying, Test Time, 
First Day, Graduation, Hitting the Books, School, Elementary, Middle and High School, 
Favorite Teacher, various subjects (English, Math, Science, Art, History etc), Recess, etc. 


From Facebook: our winner is Marilyn Hughes who suggested "Forever Young".

Congratulations Aggie and Marilyn!  As winners you will receive a prize package from Blue Fern Studios that will include the title(s) that you suggested.  Please send an e-mail, within the next 7 days, to {valerie(at)bluefernstudios(dot)com} to claim your prize.


August Challenge Winners & Featured Layouts


Based on a random draw, the winner of our August challenge is:

 
Entry #8 belongs to France Ringuette!  Congratulations France.  
You have won a prize package from Blue Fern Studios.  Please send an e-mail, within the next 7 days, to {valerie(at)bluefernstudios(dot)com} to claim your prize.

Here is the layout France created using the Tranquility Collection.  
What awesome bright colors against this background!


In August, we asked you to use one of our 3 most recent collections: Tranquility, Attic Charm, or Seaside Cottage.  We would like to feature one amazing layout from each of these collections:

The first layout was created by Beatriz (B-arte) of Spain.  This vintage style layout is so elegant and we love the texture she has created!



Next up, we have a layout using the Attic Charm collection.  Kylie Kingham (Paper Sweet Pea) created this gorgeous layout.  You will also see that she has several pieces of Blue Fern chipboard scattered throughout.  Kylie has a process video which you can view HERE at YouTube.


And for all you dog-lovers, our third feature of the month uses paper from the Seaside Cottage collection.  
Vija Anton created a beautiful layout using this photo of their Golden Retriever, Cooper.  What an amazing layout that really captures the feel of the beach.!


Congratulations to all of you who were one of our features this month.  

And a big thank-you to all who participated in the August challenge.  There were so many wonderfully creative layouts.  You never fail to make our job of selecting featured layouts a difficult one.  
You have used Blue Fern products beautifully!

We sure hope you find some time in September to join us for our Mood Board challenge.  
You can find all the details in our sidebar.
