Quarterback-20 min challenge! / Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone!! 

I'm excited this morning with the assignment I have today. My assignment was to make a layout in no more then 20 minutes and I did that. I gathered everything I wanted to use, sat down and set my timer. I have to say that I love challenges of all kinds, I set myself another one to go along with this challenge. I guess know I only had 20 minutes, setting specific colors also made it easier for me lol.

 

I started my layout with white cardstock, I had picked my picture already, so I mated it, added a few layers. I got stuck a bit at this point, I wanted to sew some circles on the background, but that would take to much time, so instead I drew circles in black and grey on the background. Then I had a place for all my embellishments to go.

 

 I pulled stickers from the football collection and placed them around the circles, pulled out the cute little puffy start stickers and placed them here and there. I played with everything, moving stickers around, until I was happy with where everything was. Popped some of them up on 3d adhesive and left the rest flat.

 

I added my title, coming off the left hand side of the photo, tucked a few pieces of ephemera under layers, then decided that I wanted something else for the white cardstock to sit on, so I trimmed it down, matted it on a pieces of patterned paper from the Football collection, ruffed up the edges and was done in 18 minutes and 24 seconds.

I hope you like this layout and maybe even play along and see what you can do in just 20 minutes too!!

Good morning everyone!!

I'm back this morning to share a new layout playing with a mix of Bella products. This week my prompt was to pick three or more collections and use them on one layout. I think I did that! lol

 

I went into my scrappy room, sat on the floor and pulled a bunch of the Bella collections I have out around me. I chose my first paper, it was the multi colored one from the Oh my stars collection, I used to mat my photo strop on. Once I got that one, I pulled a bunch of papers and embellishments that matched it and went to town adding layers behind my photo and to add some texture I used a punch too.

 

I played with a lot of different papers for my layers and different collections, but I kept switching them out until I finally got a happy bunch of layers. I popped them up on some 3d foam adhesive and put my photos and layers right in the center of my layout. I figured this would give me a center, a focal point. Once I had that down I went in and added some circles I had punched out for another project I had done, I had left overs and they worked great here so I added them in, above and below my photos.

 

I liked the circles, but wanted more there, so I pulled some of the ephemera packs and sticker sheets and started to go threw them. I layered some of the stickers with embellishments and put them in and around the circles, them I popped some of them in with my photo mats and kept going. At one point I thought maybe this was to much, but nope I kept going lol.

 

I pulled out some of the gorgeous puffy hearts and added them in here and there, finished off my title with some of them wonky alphas and decided that I wanted some more purple in my layout. So I grabbed my punch again, cut off about a half an inch and then punched the entire length of my layout and added another purple tone on tone and popped in a few more stickers and tabs and felt done with this layout. I was really happy with the way this turned out and I hope you decided to have some fun with your collections, mix it up a little and play with multiple together too and see what you come up with!

Good morning everyone! 

This week were playing with the cute little felt Pennants that Bella makes. I think these are fun to play with and add some texture to your layouts.

 

I had my pictures picked out and printed in a photo strip, then went threw all the pennants I had and pulled all the ones I wanted to use with these picture of my sweet little niece. Once I knew what pennants I was going to use, it made it really easy for me to go threw the different collections and pull papers in those colors. Once I had pulled papers from different collections, I cut four different circles out of four different papers and at different sizes so I could layer them.

 

 I adhered my circle layers down and placed them in the middle of my layout, laid my photos on top of them and grabbed my pennants. I placed them on the sides of my photo strip and thought it needed something more. Then I remembered the wooden sticks that came with the pennants and pulled them out. I laid them ad different places on my layout behind where my photos would be. I moved them around a few times, but thought I liked where they were so I checked with my photos and was happy. I glued them down, added a white mat to my photo and then went to added the pennants. Since the wooden sticks added some dimension, I added a little bit of foam adhesive to the parts of the pennants that hung off the sides.

  I decided that I wanted more circles on my layout, So I grabbed my circle punches and went to popping out circles of different patterns. You cant see it to much on this layout, but the smallest layer in the layered circles is the one with what looks like white diamonds on it, so I punched a few of those out in the white paper I had already used and in the black paper that had the same pattern.I placed the punched circles around the layout till I was happy and liked how it looked. Once I did this, I decided I wanted to pull that black diamond paper in, so I added a strip to the top and bottom of my layout. I ruffled up the edges of my papers, I'm really liking this right now lol. I added a few of the cute word salad stickers here and there, grabbed some sequins from my stash and finished the layout off with a little bit of shine!

I hope you enjoyed this layout and hope you stop back by to see what else I do!
