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.

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:

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!

Here are some close ups:



And a different view:

Ode to Vintage Christmas 2 … and Babies ~ Sandi's November Inspiration

Hello, hello! 
Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my November inspiration for Blue Fern Studios. 

Last weekend my Design Team package arrived with all the gorgeous Vintage Christmas goodies .. paper, chipboard, flowers and more! Vintage Christmas 2 is such a beautiful complement to Vintage Christmas 1. I wasn't really quite ready to scrap Christmas yet but these papers made the prospect irresistible. I just had to dig in! 
 

I decided to create a canvas this time around. I love creating a unique background with my wet mediums, paper and embellishments! So, I gessoed, stenciled, stamped, misted, splattered and even used my gelatoes to build up the background. Then I set about fussy cutting some images from the Vintage Christmas 2 papers … Tree Trim and Let it Snow. I tore some strips of those same papers to layer under my photo. 



Aren't those floral images just gorgeous?!! Michelle Singh designed this collection and did such a beautiful job! After using a medium to adhered the paper to the canvas, I did some random stamping with the Scratched stamp. Love all the texture stamps so much! (Photo is the hubby and I, done for the our church directory. Kind of a quick one but not too bad.) 



Next, I got busy on choosing a chipboard and altering it. In the end, I only used just the Berry Frame which was altered with Ruby and Magenta Embossing Powder. Then dabbed with white gesso, as was everything else for continuing the shabby feel. Note the Christmas Blooms that coordinate with these papers! Couldn't be a better match! 



For my title, I've used a Holiday card that says "All I want for Christmas is you." I don't take for granted that I still have him this year after his battle with cancer last Fall and Winter. 


Blue Fern Studios Products Used:
Paper: Vintage Christmas 2 Tree Trim, Let it Snow, Holiday Cards

"Each Day" 

When I created this sweet layout, I still had my Memoires paper collection out on my desk and   couldn't wait to use them again along with some new supplies from Blue Fern Studios! These little grandsons have become a favorite subject to scrap this year! Aren't they precious?! 



The title piece is quite large and very dramatic, especially in red! I've embossed it with Golden Bricks Embossing Powder and then stamped it with black ink and the crackle texture stamp. It also got a few dabs of white gesso and ink. 



My other chipboard piece is also on the large side. I've tucked it under my photo layers after embossing it with Army Dust Glitter. Then I did some paper tearing and had fun creating my background. This time I reached for my new Crackle Texture stamp! My blooms are a combination of collections: Memoires Blooms, Late Winter Lilies and some tiny Courtship Blooms. Last but not least, my darling photo of Silas and Samuel. Awww!

Next month, I'll be back with a couple of Social Media posts in lieu of design work. So, let me take this opportunity to publicly thank Valerie and Leslie for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful Design Team the past 18 months or so.
