Hello All!

Here in Michigan we are desperately waiting for Spring to arrive. It's been a winter and I am ready for a spring green yard. So I thought  the Spring Parade Collection was perfect for me to create with this month.

BFS Chipboard- Ginger Poppies & Winter Titles (JOY). BFS Flowers- Courtship Roses & Late Winter Lilies. BFS Stamp- Tattered Newsprint.

You can see how I created this layout start to finish over on the Blue Fern YouTube Channel: 

Here are just a few details of my layout...

I love the way the Chipboard looks with Ivory & Pearl Embossing Powder.

A super sweet fussy cut bunny...

Lots of Seedling & Glitter to really make these lovely blooms shine.

For my second layout, I continued the Spring fun but this time I played with the Attic Charm Collection...

A bit of winter time Backyard Fun!

Hello All! 

Today I wanted to share a layout that I created using this months Toolshed Kit "Winter Adventures". This kit is a truly stunning kit that is full of beautiful  denim blue tones that tie in to winter perfectly. 

For this layout I used a mix of the Main Kit, the Chipboard, Mixed Media & Embellishment Add-on Kits.

Kit Products Used: Maja Design denim and Friends Pattern Paper:-Worn Indigo, Stonewashed, Pocket Square, Blazer, Jeans and Shirt. Maya Road Ken Oliver Vintage Ornate Buttons, Prima Ingvild Bolme Chalk Ink Farmer Jeans. TCW 6X6 Template Snowflakes, Bella Blue Flowers, Tim Holtz Ideology Quote Chips, Creative Embellishments Snowflake Buttons, Do Crafts Papermania Canvas Shapes with Eyelet Heart and Star.

Additional Products Used: Lindy Stamp Gang Purely White Embossing Powder, Finnabair Acrylic Paints. Golden Acrylic Paint and White Gesso and just a bit of Black string.

Recently I have been creating more layouts and its been great! Surprisingly I really missed all the tiny details that go in to every page. Unfornitly sometimes they get lost in the process so I thought that today I would share a couple details/tips about this layout.

Sometimes the simplest things add a bunch and I have always loved inked edges, I really feel that the layers pop when the edges have been inked. So I was super excited to find two tiny Prima Inkers in this months kit. I used the Farmers Jeans for all the edges on my layout.

So sometimes you don'y have the perfect chipboard, but with just a few snips I had the perfect title for my little Ladies Backyard Fun. So always take second look at your chippies you may have the perfect title hiding :)
