HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!!! 2 layouts and a Mini Album for Blue Fern Studios

I am sooooo happy to be posting my projects on National Scrapbooking Day!! I challenged my self to scrap 1 layout today for the occasion. I am a slow scrapper, so this was really a challenge for me!! But it got done!!! I followed the beautiful sketch for May and gave it a little twist by mixing up the design a little. Don't forget to join the May sketch challenge.

Here is my take on the May Sketch Challenge. I used a Crafters Workshop mask and some molding paste and sprays on the background. Then just speckled the paper with the sprays. I die cut some tags and embossed them with a LeBlanch stamp, embossing ink  and used a heat embossed powder on them. I simply colored some binding ribbon with the same spray I used throughout the layout. Heidi Swapp Georgia Peach. Lovely color!!



I heat embossed all of the chipboard with the same green color for continuity.I also used Blue Fern Garden Paper for this layout. The paper is Boudior.

 

 I just love these Recollection flowers from Michaels. And at 60% off, I love them even more!!! I think I grabbed 4 packs of this coral color. They are the same as the Prima Tatiana flowers. My favorite!

 

 

 I created the big flower  by taking apart a silk flower, cutting off the petals, edging them with white puffy paint, puffing it up with a heat tool, then after it was dry, go over it with Stickles. Then I topped it with a Recollections flower. I then randomly placed some of the singe petals under the picture for added layers.

 I absolutely love the Dangles. Every singe one is just so elegant!! I used the Shabby Brick Bits here and there for texture.

Here is a closeup of one of the Dangles. I used distress embossing powder on them for a stone look finish.

 

 I created the journaling in Photoshop then just printed it out on card stock, cut the words out, inked the edges and applied it to my layout. I love the font!

This next project is a mini album I created and is still a work in progress at it will be a little chunky with tags, envelopes and pictures. The smaller Blue Fern Studios Chipboard is perfect for mini albums. I learned how to construct this mini album from my very good talented friend Frank Garcia. It is easy and i will use this technique often.

I heat embossed all of the chipboard with the same beautiful bronze color to make them look like metal bits. Then I also did the closure clips as well. I used thick card stock for the base of my pages so this is a very chunky mini.

Here is a montage of 4 of the inserts that are placed in the pockets of my album. There are tags, fold out pockets and little envelopes that will be tucked into the mini.
