Family layout using Blue Fern Studio products from The Rubber Buggy

Welcome to my post today for The Rubber Buggy. It is a page for my son when his wife's family got together. Each visit between US family and Canadian family is precious. For this page I used Blue Fern Studios Attic Charm Collection.

Supply List:
The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Blue Fern Studio Attic Charm - Haberdashery
Flowers: Blue Fern Studios Tranquil Blooms
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger

Markers: copics
Stencil: The Crafters Workspace TCW455s love post
Accents: Lace, beads, Little Yellow Bicycle Burlap Alpha, Stickers

In the close ups you'll get a better view with some details.

 

 

In the above photos I fussy cut the florals from a 2nd sheet of paper and inked the edges.
They are then pop dotted onto the same spot on the background paper to give depth and dimension.

                                    

Next I added all the elements, accents and stenciled the hearts around the main photo and the word Love down the side of photo.

In this section you see the matted photo, the work love done with copic markers and below the photo is a border of lace and beads.

This section showcases the fabulous stickers that shine and the fabulous flower cluster.

This section shows the ink stenciled hearts, the family title and a section in the upper right corner.

Thanks for stopping by... see you again soon.

Sketch from Feeling Sketchy

Today at Feeling Sketchy I used the sketch below ... then created this card using ink, stencils, doodling and wrapping twine around brads to accent it along with a Love sentiment that I inked and popped up. It was super fun getting some stencils out and using a fun mix of colours.

Adore Wedding page at The Rubber Buggy

hi.. so I am still creating wedding pages... doing black and white and colour photos. I am using products from The Rubber Buggy. The Blue Fern Studio Collections have been amazing and have the perfect touch of softness and elegance for wedding pages.

Supply List;
The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Blue Fern Studio Tranquility Stillness
Stencils: TCW 455s, 605s, 507s
Ink: Tim Hotlz mini pads
Accent: ART C doily
Other: flowers, fern stickers, chipboard

In the close ups I'll share some of my techniques. I use both Color Box and Tim Holtz inks... shading to the outer edges of where the photo will be.

Now using some shades of green I add more defined straight lines through out the yellow.

Now I used green paint splatter applied by flicking the paint brush.

Now it's stencil time. I am using a few of them and mix up the yellow and green to them.

Here is my finished stenciling all placed to the outer edges of the photo spot.

At this point I play all the proposed accents on the page in estimated placement. I take a photo so when I take them all off to start gluing from the back going forward I have a photo to view. 

In these close ups you can see the page come together. In the one above you can see I chose to move everything up higher from my sample photo to leave the 3 hearts showing in full size.

I loved the natural chipboard colouring with the paper and inking. 

The stenciling and colouring is perfect for this page. I love the hearts and the word Love... just perfect.

I decided on single flowers but originally had tried larger clusters. They became too strong and went back to one each.  The fern leaves are stickers and the other accent is the doily.

At this point less is better so I chose to stop at this point.

Thanks for stopping by.. see you again soon.

"Sweet" at The Rubber Buggy today

 Hi everyone.. hope your having a great day. This page I share today has one of my favourite photos of my eldest Grand Daughter. She is now 20? OMG where did the time go? This is The Rubber Buggy post for today. Be sure to visit the store to view all the amazing products I used from there.

Supply List:
The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Blue Fern Studio Tranquility Collection, Calm, Calling Cards
Die: Memory Box Honeycomb Collage 91443, Lenora Bloom

Ink: Tim Holtz ranger, mini pads
Stencil: TCW #287s mini burst
Other: cricut title, Martha Stewart punch, twine, bling, buttons, sew easy ink roller stitch

Instructions: 

#1. I started with some soft coloured turquoise blue paint splatter

 #2. Next I chose the 2 papers to base the photo. The back one I first wrapped with twine 3 times for texture and depth. The front one I inked the edges in blue. Do not glue down yet.

#3. With the above placement organized I removed them and added starburst stencil inking with Tim Holtz mini pad. Layering things down again I die cut the Honeycomb accent for behind the photo. Also on the bottom right corner under the photo I found a piece of paper that I ripped, inked the edge and added for colour and depth by popping it up.

 #4. Things were still too plain so I die cut the floral flourish and punched a border accent. These are all done in the same cardstock.

#5. I cricut cut the title using the same cardstock. You can also view from this photo the Sew Easy ink roller stitching accents.

#6. For a total change up I added the yellow flower cluster with the blue in it. It was perfect.

#7. It doesn't show except in the finished page... I added 3 buttons in the upper left corner. (this is a fun challenge over at the Turtle Soup to add buttons so I will be submitting there too.)

 Here is one last close up for your viewing...  it is a sweet page. I loved sharing with you today... and hope to see you again soon.
