True Story (Blue Fern Studios DT Reveal 1)

I am always so happy when the 11th of the month comes around because that means that it's time for me to share with you more of my Blue Fern Studios creations and I'm even more excited to showcase the stunning new collection Mémoires on 2 of these projects.  

The full reveal has gone live right HERE on the Blue Fern Studios blog.  

Let's start with this layout that was inspired by the October sketch challenge.

This is the fabulous sketch designed by Michelle Singh.

Here's to hoping that you will be inspired and play along with us this month!

First, I created the mixed media background on this page by stamping the Cracked texture stamp numerous times and then creating a vertical design with ivory acrylic paint and Garnet Imagine Ink embossing powder.  I chose the True Story title that I covered with Ebony powder.

Below you see one of the beautiful new chipboard pieces coordinating with Mémoires.  I used a layer of the glittery Lucky embossing powder on the Grand Ornement and then tamed it down a bit with a few different shades of distress ink.  I added a Jeweled Page Dangle covered in Black Sand powder which I both absolutely love as well as a Formal Corner in Ebony.

Blue Fern Studios has released some new flower sets which are all exquisite.  Below you see a green Mémoires Bloom combined with Seaside Lily and Courtship Blooms.

Exciting new DT announcement!!

I am happy to share this happy news with you now that the official announcement was made.


I will be joining a new Design Team as of November 2016.

I have had the pleasure of designing for them in the past, and so I'm thrilled to return to the Creative Scappers DT.


I absolutely love Kristine's sketches and cannot wait to get started!!

These are all the fabulous designers alongside whom I will be creating!

So stay tuned for some sketchy fun!

Scrapberry's October Challenge

Hello everyone!

Normally today I would be sharing with you my very first Scrapberry's DT reveal based on the October challenge...  but my DT product box has not arrived yet.  It decided to go on a little detour, no doubt wanting to catch a bit more of the Fall scenic route, on its way to my house.

But I still wanted to post today to encourage you to check out the October challenge right HERE and see the rest of the DT's creations inspired by AUTUMN which is theme this month.

As soon as my DT box arrives, I will be jumping right into it to start creating!

Blue Fern Studios October Sketch Challenge

The challenge this month on the Blue Fern Studios blog is a sketchy one!

I will be sharing my take on this fabulous sketch during my Blue Fern DT Reveal on the 11th using the brand new collection Mémoires.  

This collection is gorgeous and I'm sure that you will love it too.

Check out the Blue Fern Studios blog throughout the month of October to see lots of DT inspiration using these beautiful papers!

My Sister My Friend (More Than Words October DT Reveal)

It is time to reveal the October main challenge from More Than Words and my layout inspired by it!

Here is the October challenge:

The October challenge is to use the word CHANGE as inspiration 

and incorporate an OMBRE effect someway somehow for the creative challenge.

More details and DT inspiration are available HERE!

The word 'change' brought to my mind children and how fast they grow up.  The gorgeous little girls on my page are my friends' daughters, 2 very close sisters who are constantly changing but at the same time staying consistent in their love for one another.  They are inseparable!

As far as the creative challenge is concerned, I picked turquoise blue and created an ombre effect using sprays of different shades of this beautiful colour on embossed die cut shapes and on the left paper edge.

I love that the girls' dresses are also ombre so I knew I wanted to use that picture for this challenge.

You see below that there is also a gradient of greyish blue on the tag.

How do you like this page?  I would love to hear your feedback.

And I cannot wait to see your take on this challenge.  Link up before the end of the month right HERE at More Than Words!
