Born to Make History

 Good Morning. Today I have something different for you! Yeah! I put together a quick layout using the beautiful Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Kit Club. This kit features the stunning and bold Darcelle Collection form Prima.

I used to dislike the Queen. I thought she seemed stuffy and stuck in the past. But after watching many shows and series about her I have a new found respect for this Monarch who has reigned now for over 50 years! Her life is not what one would expect and now I feel a certain sadness when I think of her as her life was never her own from the age of 25.

I used the stencil that came with the kit and used some gold icing paste from Finnabair. I also heat embossed the chipboard background with three different colors of embossing powder, Plum, Raspberry and the gorgeous Magenta all from Blue Fern Studios.

The kit also included some gorgeous Prima blooms.

For my title I used a piece of the printed chipboard, It was the perfect title as this woman was indeed born to make history!

That's it for today. Back to you soon!

All the best! :)

Apple of my Eye

Good day! Back to you with a colorful layout featuring the Radiance Collection from Blue Fern Studios.

 This is one of my favorite photos of my eldest granddaughter Lilly when she was just a baby (soon to be 13 this month). The Radiance collection papers were perfect for this photo.

 For my background I used clear Gesso to prime my papers. I added some colors (Raspberry Lemonade, Orange Creamsicle, and Salt Water Taffy from Lindy's Stamp Gang) to my page with a stencil. I did a bit of random stamping using the Scripted Medley and Tattered Newsprint stamps. I went around my photo area with a flower stencil and some molding paste. I added Pink Topaz Seedlings in the center for some fun texture. I also used pieces of lace around the chipboard frame.

 I backed my photo with some strips of other papers from the line.You can also see I used a leaf charm from the Charms collection.

 This is an older frame which is no longer available unfortunately but I had to use it! The hearts just played on my feelings for this sweetheart. I also heat embossed some drywall tape and added it around my photo for added texture.

 My title came with an adorable little apple. I heat embossed it first with Fuchsia then again with Pink Dust. 

 The butterfly came from the Fantasy Butterfly collection. I heat embossed it first with Pink Dust then again with wheat. You can also see the Layering Stems chipboard which I heat embossed with Avocado and Garden Daisies which were heat embossed with Raspberry, It's a Girl and Avocado.

A close-up of my photo. Isn't she absolutely scrumptious? Love this kid. Now she is taller than me :(

 

 I used a wide variety of Blue Fern blooms for this layout including Fresh Floral, Remnants Blooms, Spring Floral in Pink, White and Yellow. Finished! Thanks for dropping by! I will be back soon with a totally different project for you!

All the best! :)

Making Memories

 Hi there! I am back with another Blue Fern layout!

 

 For this layout I used the Eclectic Charm Collection. This is a photo of my grandson with his Great grandfather. Jax's grandpa has Alzheimers Disease and yet without fail he recognizes his great grandson each and every visit. I love this picture!

I framed this photo with an older piece of Blue Fern chipboard. It was a clock but I cut the outer rim off. I used layers of different papers to back my photo.

My background entails the use of two different stencils and some Prima paste and Viva Decor Modelling paste.

I used Wheat embossing powder to color my title.

I used some Prima blooms to finish embellishing my page.

Thanks for visiting! All the best! :)

Christmas Cheer

 One more Christmas layout before I pack away the Christmas supplies! 

I collect Christmas ornaments. Sometimes I get a new ornament from my grandchildren other years I buy one or am gifted one with the date. My goal is to one day have a tree where no two ornaments are the same. I am definitely not someone who likes a uniform tree!

I used Blue Fern's Christmas Cheer collection for this layout. I did the usual background work on this with some stenciling in red. I traced some of the ornaments that came in the Christmas Baubles Chipboard set and cut them out. I used the Christmas Collage and Joyous Borders stamps and stamped each ornament with embossing ink then heat embossed them with either Ginger or Sage embossing powder.

I painted the chipboard ornaments with Art Alchemy paints from Finnabair. I picked three of my favourite ornaments from my tree and cut them into circles, backing them with paper ornaments made from the collection. 

Prima blooms, my go to flowers were perfect for this layout.

For my title I used the phrase that came in the Christmas Baubles set and embossed it with Ginger.

I used some Seedlings in Flaming red to add more texture to my page. A pretty basic layout. Thanks for dropping by!  All the best! :)

 I used the following Blue Fern supplies:
