Vintage Christmas Collection - winter feeling

Hi, so nice you found the time to visit the blog in the busy Christmas weeks.

Not everybody on this world celebrates Christmas .

Today I want to show you that the beautiful Vintage Christmas collection can also be used on other themed layouts . 

The first one is a mixed media page on my favorite paper from the collection.

                               The background is gessod and for the color I used alcohol inks.
               The title piece xoxo was painted white and I added some fairydust when it was still wet.
                       It gives a beautiful glitsery shine, which is hard to see in the picture.

I cut a Brick Ring in two and colored it with two colors ink.

The background stamps come from my favorit stamps out of the collection

My next layout is made after the beautiful sketch for this month challenge.

For me,  this picture shows the line between fall and winter.

I wanted to mirror the picture in my background.

There is a lot of stamping going on .

The chipboard grid piece was perfect to tuck under my photo cluster.

It holds the natural feeling I like .

The titel piece is embossed in dark brown.

Thanks for visiting the blog and Merry Christmas to all of you.

Design Team Inspiration

Welcome to the weekend!  Today we would like to take you on a journey of inspiration.  We love how our Creative Team combines Blue Fern paper, chipboard, and stamps, and each one does it in a very different way.  Here's what a few of them have created recently:

Marta Lapkowska created this mixed-media canvas using paper from the Love Story collection.  The chipboard pieces are the Grid Pieces, which you will see used multiple times in this post.

Jelissa Mei has used the Circle Code chipboard piece on her layout featuring a photo of her sweet boys.  You can't help but smile when you look at this photo!

The beautiful paper from the Love Story Collection (the Grand Ball) is the backdrop for Yuko Tanaka's elegant layout. You might notice that she, too, has used the Grid Pieces on her layout.

Bente Fagerberg has combined our Brick Rings and Happy title as the perfect accessories for this very soft and dreamy layout.  So simple, yet very elegant.

Having recently lost her beloved pet, Marie Josee Hamel created this layout in her memory.

Did you notice that she also used the Grid Pieces on her project?

Elena Morgun has combined a vintage photo with multiple Blue Fern chipboard pieces and paper from Love Story.

New Blue Fern Designer, Sandi Clarkson, has taken Hollywood glamor to a new level with this striking layout, also using paper from the Love Story Collection along with Blue Fern chipboard.  She has also used the Grid Pieces, but left in some of the negative spaces.

Galina Sazonova has used neutrals with a hint of color on this awesome layout.  The texture she has created is amazing.  Bits of the Turkish Panel chipboard can be seen in the background.

The Doodle Frame is perfect for showcasing the photo in this beautiful layout created by Keren Tamir.  Although we all love to alter our chipboard pieces, sometimes leaving it bare is perfect!

We hope you've found something here today that inspires you to create this weekend!
