I promised myself this year that I would make more of the patterns I have bookmarked over the years.  There are so many lovely patterns out there but I am starting small, I am determined to pick one at a time and finish it!  So I’m really happy that last month I finished two items

Hi everyone! It's Karolina here. Today I would like to show you my three February projects. I created two layouts and a frame using the newest collection from Blue Fern Studios - Serendipity. These collection is absolutely stunning and I'm totally in love ;) Using my projects I tried to show you how this collection is incredibly versatile and universal. "Believe in your selfie" My first project is a frame with a positive message. I used papers from Serendipity collection and one of the newest chipboard pieces - selfie square. I added also some background chipboards, because I really like when such elements stick out from my composition. It makes my composition reacher and the effect is realy nice, don't you think?  I covered chipboards pieces using three different embossing powders in maching colors. A selfie square chipboard I covered using acrylic ink in the white color - while the ink was still wet I added a lot of transparent glitter to make my frame more shiny.  You can also find a gliiter in several colors on a frame. It's great idea to add some glitter accents on our background. Blue Fern Studios products used: Papers: Serdendipity collection - Fascination, Inspiration, Contemplation Chipboards: Selvie Squares, Bits of Honey, Checker Bits Stamps: Forever, Essential Textures Embossing powders: Lilac, Sea Mist, Cotton Candy Glitters: Blue Ice, Cranberry, Merlot, Caribbean "Memories Captured" My second project is a layout in shabby chic style. If you are wondering who is this little girl in the picture, it's me. I think I was 2. I used papers from Serendipity collection of course and beautiful sentence "Memories Captured" chipboard. In the background you can see texture pieces. I covered chipboards using white embossing powder and then I add some ink and colors. I added a glitter in several spots to make my project more sparkle. In the background you can also find some stamps. Blue Fern Studios products used: Papers: Serdendipity collection - Fascination, Anticipation, Calling cards, Contemplation, Inspiration Chipboards: Floral Latice Bits, Captured Words Stamps: Forever, Halftone Embossing powders: White Glitters: Pyrite, Blue Ice "Blooming Beauty" My last project is also a layout, this time in retro style. In the picture you can see one of my best friend. Retro style matching perfect to this photo I think. As I said, papers from Serendipity collection are not only absolutly stunning, but very universal too. You can make a spring project like my frame, very delicate and shabby projects like my first layout and also some projects in retro style. This time I covered a chipboard Blooming Beauty using black embossing powder, to add some strong contrast to my project. I used a cooper embossing powder to create a vintage look of frame and then I put it under my photo as a part of my composition. Blue Fern Studios products used: Papers: Serdendipity collection - Fascination, Anticipation, Calling cards, Contemplation, Inspiration, Reminisce Chipboards: Folkart frame, Blooming Beauty Stamps: Forever, Halftone, Brocade Texture Embossing powders: Ebony, Cooper Glitters: Pyrite, Blue Ice, Burnt Cooper Thank you for visiting Blue Fern Studios blog today. See you next time in March! Karolina

Hi! February Gossamer Blue kits are now on sale. I thought I'd pop on and share my projects this month. So, as you know, I am really spending a lot of my creative time working on my planners. I still love creating layouts, but honestly, I have so many that are not in albums, I wonder if I want to create that many more. So, I am looking for alternative ways to memory keep. I have decided to use Traveler's Notebooks to do that. I love the size and their portability. Plus, Webster's Pages is coming out with some adorable TNs and I can't wait to fill them up. Here are my first two pages. I received an Instax printer for Christmas and am loving that I can print off my pictures and add them to my pages. Plus, I find that I can record the story and journal so much more. I am excited to continue with the TNs. Of course, I'm not totally giving up on layouts. Here is one I created about the Gaming Room we created for Ryan. We can't finish our basement, so we converted our fourth bedroom into a space for him. Now he and his friends can hang out and play their video games there. He loves it. Be sure to head over to Gossamer Blue and check out the kits. And don't forget to peek in the gallery. The DT made some amazing projects this month that you won't want to miss! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
