October Projects by Maja

Good morning, BFS Fans, welcome to the blog today :)

I'm happy to be here again to share three layouts. They feature different collections and themes, but have something in common - they all show the "backsides" of papers for the backgrounds :)
Let's begin with the one you might have spotted during our October challenge announcement:


I made the layout using the Seaside Cottage collection. I layered selected paper, going for the nice pastel teal Regalia sheet for the background. Then I added the chickerwire chipboard painted with white gesso. Then I mounted the title chippies on it, combining some Spiritually Speaking words to form "Heaven Sent Blessings. :


I also added XOXO chipies and a mixture of flowers to further decorate the page. I chose the word pieces to be embossed with the Ruby ep for a nice contrast against the white chickenwire:




Heaven Sent Blessings:

Papers: Seaside Cottage: Relics, Regalia, Splendor, Whitewash
Chipboard: Chickenwire Panel, Spiritually Speaking, XOXO
Flowers: Seaside Lilies, Attic Charm Daisies, Courtship Blooms,
EP: Ruby

Now on to two layouts I made using the latest release, the Memoirs collection.
The first one was a true challenge for me, as I bravely used an yellow-orange-blue palette I'd never used before! :) But this combo makes a perfect choice to scrapbook your autumn, school or Halloween photos:


The palette was detrmined by the photo of my younger son that I used :) And so I selected the vintage newspaper sheet for the bacground that reminds me of some old book page. I added some brick stamped directly on it:


Embossed the "Noted" piece from Arrow Words and the Mini Frame Dangle with Tangerine and Copper eps and added the flowers in yellow and orange. Then I cut out the books motit and used it as a separate embellishment:



The title piece, Back To School, is embossed with Sand and Sea ep, one of my favourite new colours :) I also used a dimensional epoxy sticker to make an embellishment with a cut-out writing hand image. Finally I added some crystal dots and splashes of glitter ink to finish my page off:



Back to School:
Papers: Memoirs: Tale of Treasure, Calling Cards, Chronicles, Grand Sequel
Chipboard: Back to School, Mini Frame Dangle, Arrow Words
Flowers: Memoirs Blooms, Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Tranquility Blooms
Stamps: Essential Textures
EP: Sand & Sea, Tangerine, Copper

And here's the second layout I made with the Memoirs papers, and look how different it is!


I really love the deep dark red colour of the Songbird's Drama sheet! I wanted it to play the leading role and so used few elements on the page, not to cover it too much. The photo is one of the old photo shoot (you can tell by a different hairdo of my elder son ;) ) that I really like and already scrapbooked a dozen of times ;) First I layered nicely contrasting grey and red papers and added some stamping in the corners:



I embossed the gorgeous Chelsea Frame piece with Snow to make it clear white and really pop out of the background. Then I embossed the "you" from the title piece with Black Sand and then the whole of the chipboard with Ebony. I really like the metallic gold peeping through the black!


And finally I added the flower cluster with a bow of beautiful guipure lace and some embellies:



Grateful For You:
Papers: Memoires: Tale of Treasure, Songbird's Drama,
Chipboard: Chelsea Frame, Grateful For You
Flowers: Harvest Lilies, Dark Tropic Lilies
Stamps: Beads&Charms, Deja Vu, Forever, Ornamentals
EP: Ebony, Black Sand


And what do you think of the Memoirs collection? I hope to see many beautiful creations of yours with these papers!

See you later - Maja

From Romance To Grunge by Nicole Doiron


It's me Nicole and I am thrilled to be back with you to share some of my creations.
I have 3 layouts to show you today, going from romance to more romance to grunge!

Let's start with this one... soft and elegant.... using the Courtship Lane collection.


I stamped some of the tiny dot stamp from the Halftones set and
used Imagine Ink Snow embossing powder to add texture to my background.

It's no surprise that one of my favorite themes to scrap is love. And so this title Amour from the French Words set, was perfect for this picture of me and my man!


The majestic chipboard piece below is French Ironwork.  I covered it, as I did to the title, with Mystic Plum embossing powder, then frosted it with a little white.


The smaller flowers used are from the brand new BFS Courtship Roses and Blooms set.  They're beautiful!


Bordering the photo is one of the Leafy Page Accents. and some fussy cut flowers.


Blue Fern Studios Supply List:
Paper: Courtship Lane (Lover's Lane, Bourbon Avenue, East Plaza, Calling Cards)
Chipboard: French Ironwork, French Words, Leafy Page Accents 
Stamp: Halftones
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder: Mystic Plum, Snow
Flowers: Courtship Roses, Courtship Blooms

***

My second layout is quite similar in style to the first one .


I chose a combination of papers from the Sanctuary, Love Story and Frolic collections.
That is just one of the many things I love about Blue Fern Studios papers... no matter the collection, they are all so versatile and work together very well!

Creating part of my title is the word 'Happy' from the Optimist Word Set... I simply painted it red.
Then, dangling from the bottom of my picture is the Mini Frame Dangle which I cut in two pieces and covered with Imagine Ink Oatmeal embossing powder and white paint.  In the frame, I put a piece of red Frolic paper and added some Fire Engine glitter to give it a little sparkle.


The other piece of the Mini Frame Dangle I used on the left side of my page as a flourish sneaking up from the mini prints.  You can see glimpses of Garden Frolic stamp on my background.


Included in my flower clusters are the beige Courtship Blooms.  I sprinkled some more Fire Engine glitter in and about the flowers.


And last but not least, you can see some Frolic Mesh treated with Ebony embossing powder.
The picture is of Yves and I on one of our very first dates, which was already 10 years ago!

Now let's get down to the grunge part of this reveal!


This last layout today was inspired by the Blue Fern Studios April Sketch!


Ever since I started designing for Blue Fern Studios, I have been holding on to these particular chipboard pieces and was so anticipating creating the perfect boy layout.  I'm not sure if this layout is anywhere near perfect, but I have to say that I really love the way it turned out.

I started off a background paper from the Love Story collection and then covered it with blue and black mists as well as dabs of metallic blue paint and splatters of white.  I also did some black stamping using the Journey and Texture Set One. You can see here the title Boy Meets World which I embossed in Cerulean Imagine Ink embossing powder and lightly dabbed with more blue metallic paint.


For sure two of my favorite BFS chipboard pieces are the Techno-scape and Working Parts!  I love anything grunge and steampunk even though not my usual style.  On these pieces, I used Icicle embossing powder and then added some light dabs of blue.


Other chipboard used are two circle arrows from the Directions set, embossing with Ebony.


This gorgeous little boy is Tristan, my friend's son.
