Cute Girl - Bella Blvd DT

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!

Cutie pie Honey bunch- Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone!! Sarah back this morning to share a simple layout of a few of my littles with you. This week at Bella were using the Heart Hugs, I love these!!
They add dimension, texture and not to mention there so cute!!
I had a small picture of three of my little  cuddling on the couch one day, there being sweet and not bugging each other, so I had to get this pic!! lol. I wanted something simple, but to be able to add a lot of color. I chose a few papers from the Plaids and Dotty collection, I cut the grey dot down and placed a 4 inch piece on the side of my white cardstock, so this left me a focal point in the center of my layout.
I started with the layers behind my photo, I love layers, but this also helped me when it came to time to put my Heart Hugs down, kept me to certain  colors.
I added little bits and pieces from different collection in my layers, Oh my Stars, Alex and Plaids and Dotty. And then I pulled out all the pretty packages of these hearts!!
  Some of the Heart hugs have words on them and little bitty rhinestones, I love them, but I decided to remove some of the little sayings and words and just add the cute little textured hearts. I didn't add them in any particular order, I just put them down where I thought they looked good. I added a boarder sticker in black and white dots coming from the top and bottom of the layout just for a little more focus and that finished it for me.
