This week over on the Bella Blvd blog its
Birthday week, So today I'm here playing with the Wish Big collection
and documenting my youngest daughters 2nd birthday!!
I
am working with the girly Wish Big collection, and I just have to say
that I love all the beautiful colors and patterns there are in this
collection, and oh so many things that can be fussy cut!!
Honestly,
starting this layout I had a pieces of white cardstock sitting on my
desk that I had cut a circle out of before and just picked it up to set
it to the side to go threw some of my Bella goodies and sat it on top of
some of the items I had already pulled out and liked the way it looked.
So I decided to use it for my background and build from there.
I
knew I was making a birthday layout, and I loved the happy birthday
paper that I had sat the cardstock on so I used it. I don't usually
start my layouts this way, but this one started that way lol. After I
had paced those two pieces together, I started layering behind my photo.
I do love to add layers!!
After
layering a bunch of pretty papers behind my photo and getting it the
way I wanted, I sat my photo where I thought I might want it and moved
on to playing with embellishments. I pulled a few acrylic words out, One
from this collection and then another from Bella.
I
laid the Happy Birthday up to the right of the photo, grabbed my
ephemera packs and started pulling things I thought I might wanna use,
knowing that a lot of them would make there way on to this layout.
As
I went I tucked more little pieces here and there in my photo mats and
around the title. Added chipboard pieces, along with paper ones.
I
also used some of the stickers from the Sticky mix that goes along with
this collection, snipped some and tucked them here and there.
I
don't usually add things on top of my photos, but I seem to be doing it
more and more recently, so I created a little embellishment cluster to
go on the bottom left of my photo. I wanted to use two of the cute
little chipboard candles, since she was turning two, and I loved the
little Hip Hip Hooray paper piece, and the fact that doing this also
allowed me to add a few more pops of color down there that I wanted.
I
thought I was done at this point but I felt like my layout was missing
something so I sat it down, stood up and looked at it. To me, it needed a
little color at the top, since my layout already had quite a bit at the
top. So I went threw and cut a few strips of some of my favs and added
them to the bottom. This also gave me another place to add another
embellishment cluster! lol. I finished my layout off by adding some of
the oh so cute puffy hearts and some gold splatters.
