Time to say good bye.

Hi there friends.

Today is my last post on the Blue Fern Studios blog, It's been fun but of course everything has an end. I have enjoyed every minute of working with their gorgeous products. You will definitely see more of Blue Fern Studios around here in the fiture as well.

Today I want to share my first page using one of the pretty new papers from the  Vintage Christmas collection.

I also have some close ups of the details:

I used the Petal embossing enamel to treat my chipboards. That gorgeous round piece is called Twilight Garden Frame. I gave the Shabby snowflake (part of a set) the same treatment. 

I love the look of those tiny half pearls that I added to it!

On my background I used the Winter Mint and Cotton Candy Imagine Ink mists. I also used gesso and microbeads as well as a few paints.

For a title I used one of the designs on the Christmas cards sheet together with the word Christmas from one of the bottom strips.

I love the look of the strict stripes with the soft colourful blooms. 

These adorable pink larger blooms are the from the Bel Canto colletion by Prima Marketing.

They are surely one of my all time favourites!!

Thanks for dropping by! I'll have a couple of free days around Christmas so hopefully I will be back again with not too much of a delay this time :-) 

But just in case I don't see you again before X-mas I wish for you:

'Frolic in the Sun' for Blue Fern Studios.

Hi there! I seem to be nearing an all time low this month as far as blog posts go,....
I have been working a lot and with my school vaations and my eldest DD home fro the UK it's difficult to drum up time and energy. I do miss it though and today I wanted to share one of my August projects for 
Blue Fern Studios.

I am using the Frolic collection here and to me this is  possibly the most beautiful collection EVER!!!
Just look at those amazing colours and sophistcated designs.
 Michelle Singh did another awesome job with this one!!

I used the sheet Friendship from Frolic and the word chipboard word 'Memories' peeking out from below the photo is part of the Memeory Frames set. I painted it blue as I did with part of the title chipboard Frolic in the Sun. As an added decoration i used the beautiful Boston Lattice.

In this close up you can see how I painted the title and also how I clear embossed my lattice piece with utee (ultra thick embossing enamel) after painting it white.

I just love this shot of my DD from a couple of summers back :-)

I picked some colours that work well with the photo and had a play on the background. I made the tiny splashes with my old discarded tooth brush like my FIL once taught me. 

  

One last look :-)  

If you scroll down to the previous post you'll see the new Autumn Anthology collection from Blue Fern Studios coming to the stores in a couple of weeks. It feels like a continuation from this collection and I cannot wait to receive it. I think they will mix and match perfectly to ctreate amazing projects.

Thanks for looking!!

CCG #219 "Kitty Love" "Authentique" "Uncommon"

,

Finally it's time again for a new colourful combination from Color Combos Galore.
Due to Janet suffering some very sad family events we have had a couple of weeks delay in posting the challenges, BUT NOW WE ARE BACK!! So sorry for your loss Janet!

We have some new colours for you this week as it is layouts/altered item/mini album week.

The news around CCG since we moved to Blogger is that we work with the same colours for two weeks, but have different design prompts, and week two is cards week. 

This is the layout I created with the new colours.

And this is the inspiration board that you will need to take a closer look at :

I used one of my favourite collections lately called "Uncommon", which was made by "Authentique Paper". I also used some embossed white paper for my background and that green paper making up  a frame is from "Echo Park" "Victoria Gardens"

I made a few lollipop flowers as this was the designers challenge this time. They are so easy to make, but I did not have a ny material in the right shades so I took the easy way out and made mine white.
At least you can say it goes with everything!

       I used an older premade die cut title from MME as it was the perfect colour match for the pink.

I just added the word kitty in some "Doodlebug" stickers

The journalling is just a few words about Beatrice still keeping interest in her little pet after more than a year. I did not expect anything less but, hey,..it's still good news!! 

We all have a soft spot for that little furball!

Take care 'til next time!
