First of all, a big shout out to the gals at Blue Fern Studios!!
 Leslie, Valerie, Patter, thanks so much for having us this month! 
Had so much fun with these awesome products! Xxoo

Here below is what I created with the lovely LIMITED EDITION KIT:

The Limited Edition Kit is full of gorgeous Blue Fern Studios Love Story collection papers, along with some Prima and Marion Smith. The embellishments are so wonderful! Trims, brads, gorgeous metal title pieces, red Petaloo Botanica blooms, Prima Coventry roses (yummy), Prima Stationer's Draft flowers and last but not least Blue Fern Studios chipboard! Yay! 

Layout #1

I had promised myself not to use the "A" side of this gorgeous Blue Fern Studios Love Story paper collection ... but in the end, I couldn't help myself! As a designer you want to create something original and different from your team members but the scrapper in me just wanted "pretty." So, pretty, romantic, shabby, that's what this kit is all about for me this time. I do apologize for the quality of my photos this time. We are having terrible winter storms and my little light box (with some photo editing) is doing the best it can!

My BFS Grid Pieces chippy was gessoed and then treated with Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel and flicked with more gesso.

Layout #2
"Memories" (photo credit, copyright Everett collection)

This is my Lucille Ball layout for the month, a photo shoot from the 1940's. I've been wanting to use this photo for awhile now but haven't found the right papers. This Love Story collection was perfect for documenting this Hollywood photo shoot! With Lucy, I always try to use my Memory box bubbles stencil and my MS vintage lace punch just for consistency. Like anyway but me notices, LOL! 

My square BFS Grid Pieces chippy was gessoed and inked with black Staz-on ink. I set that with a heat gun. After that was good and dry, I add some glossy accents to a few random places so that I could adhere some black crushed glass glitter. The crushed glass glitter added some fun texture and I am all about texture!

Layout #3
"Smile" (photo credit, Magnolia Adams Photography)

I've been needing to scrap this photo for awhile as well. But I have to really be "in the mood" to scrap maternity photos for some reason. I guess they are so meaningful that I want them to be just so-so.  These papers, this Kit, really got the creative juices going though! Even though the Winter storm tried to steal my joy, I trudged on! 

My BFS Grid Pieces chippies were gessoed and then treated with Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel. On this section, I did not emboss it until it was totally shiny.  I left large parts of it still chunky because I wanted that kind of texture. Then I dabbed and flicked my pieces with gesso.

Layout #4
"Love" (photo credit Katie Van Buren Glymin)

This is the newest little member of our family, born on New Year's Eve! I stole some photos from her mommy's Facebook page! Love these newborn photo shoots! I went with lots of layers, chippies, those fabulous metal pieces, yummy trim and of course, flowers! 

My BFS Grid Pieces chippies were gessoed, then sprayed with LSG Steampunk Sepia which interestingly almost gave it a silver color. Remember that while gesso gives your chipboard "tooth," it also acts as a resist for certain media.  So, I followed with a bit of biscotti ink. I did some spot embossing with Recolletions Sparkle Powder.

As you can see, there is a lot of product here. Plenty for 4 layered projects. I could probably make a card or 2 with my leftovers but I am out of flowers because I did go all out with my blooms! :) 

That's it for me this month. So on with the Hop …
