Welcome to September, and a brand new Blue Fern Challenge! This month we have an awesome Mood Board for you. This Mood Board was motivated by the feel and colors of our Seaside Cottage collection.
You may draw inspiration from the colors, the theme, or the texture.
You may take little bits from several areas of the mood board. It's up to you!
We would LOVE to see how our Mood Board inspires you, and of course, we have a prize for one lucky winner, who will be chosen from a random draw. We will also feature a few of your projects.
We ask that you follow these guidelines:
1). You can create any of the following projects - a layout, card, canvas, altered item, or album cover. No tags, please.
2.) You must use at least one piece of Blue Fern Studios chipboardOR use Blue Fern Studios paper on your project. {Do not use any other brand of chipboard on your project, please!}
You can find a list of stores that carry Blue Fern products HERE.
3.) Upload your project to the Blue Fern Studio blog using the Inlinkz tool by midnight EST on September 30, 2016.
Although it's not required, we hope you will share with us in your blog or gallery post how you were inspired by our Mood Board. Have fun! We can't wait to see what you create.

In this blog hop we are supposed to make either a photo collage or video about the country we live in or the country we identify with.
As for myself I've lived in 3 different countries so
I made 3 different collages. Most people live their whole life in the same country but since I have moved a couple of times
I can identify with 3 different countries and here they are:
Canada, Israel and Venezuela
Canada is my home and my mind and heart are in it.
Its an amazing peaceful and accepting country. Its a democratic country and people have the right to live free and well. I love living here even if winters are very cold.
Israel is my birthplace and home of my heart and soul.
Israel is such a beautiful country and I love it because its where I was born and where I belong in my heart.
One of the countries with the most turmoil and with the most spiritual and religious love.
I believe that the reason that I live so peacefully in Canada is because those in Israel fight for my freedom. I'm thus so grateful to call this country my heart's home.
Finally, last but not least Venezuela. The country I grew up in, since I was 1 until 15 years of age.
One of the most beautiful countries in the world which has now been destroyed by a corrupt government. It is so sad that in such a beautiful there's so much poverty and misery.
I remember the food, the dance, the warm weather and the warm people.
I'm grateful I was able to grow up here and I'm grateful my parents moved us to Canada from such an unsafe place before it was too late.
Here is a little video compilation of all these photos on my youtube channel.

I've created this dreamcatcher for my daughter's bedroom.
Its mainly monochromatic as it uses only white and beige tones.
I used Prima's Relics & Artifacts Butterfly and Chandalier pendants as embellishments as I'm entering this project for the International Talent contest on The Relics & Artifacts Tribe Facebook group.
The Relics & Artifacts butterfly was embellished using Diamond dust. I glued the dust inside the wings using Gel medium. I added 2-3 layers of it and then sprinkled the wings with Finnabair white fine glitter. Finally I added a few Prima "Say it in crystals" gemstones in the middle of the body and behind on the chord. I also used a little of Empress Gold Color bloom spray to add a little color on the butterfly's wings.
I glued a hook on the back of the butterfly and hooked it onto the dreamcatcher. I secured it using the chord and some more glue so it stays in place.
I used Butcher Chord to create the Dreamcatcher and also used it to tie the hanging embellishments to the ring.
The ring, ribbon, and tassels I found at Michaels. I added some feathers and cheese cloth from my stash.
The chandelier pendants were covered first with glass bead gel, then with white glitter and finally with one Prima Say it in crystals gemstone.
The chandelier pendants, feathers and tassels were tied to the Butcher chord.
Last Month I create these Pop Art Canvas Tiles live on my Artists Live Ustream show.
Below is the recording in case you missed the show.
I used 4x4 flat canvases to create these tiles. The orange ones were created before the show and the blue faced ones I designed during the show.
Almost all the products used in the show are from DecoArt.
Once I created the tiles I thought they would look amazing as a set of 4 and here they are below:
Here is the recording in case you missed the show.
