That sweet face / Bella Blvd DT

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!

A lovely reminder - Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone! 

Back again with a new layout in a spring theme for Bella Blvd.

 

I really had fun with this layout. I did a lot of fussy cutting with papers from the Island escape collection, I mean really how can you not? The flowers are just so pretty!! 

 

I started my layout by choosing a bright background and pulling out the Illustrated faith acrylic paints and dry brushing some of the white across the background. I wanted a little separation from all the flowers I knew I was going to add to the layout.

 

I pulled out the beautiful floral paper from the Island escape and started to fussy cut all the pretties. Once I had a the flowers out I started to lay them across the page on a diagonal. Once I had all the flowers lightly placed down, I added a few layers behind my photo and sat it where I wanted and then moved on to working on my title. I knew I was going to have a large title because I had picked it out before I even started my layout, lol. I knew what picture I was using and it was this one of my youngest daughter sitting in our front yard, enjoying the nice warm spring weather last year.

I was looking at this photo and looking at my daughter now and how much she had changed, I wanted to make sure I documented the little moments, she has grown so much, the beautiful changes that have happened, so when I found this title, I was like oh yeah this is perfect! lol

 

After adding my long title, I went back in and wanted to add some more texture to my layout so I popped some of the flowers up and adding some messy thread clusters here and there. I have a thing for the enamel dots that come along with the heart hugs, so I grabbed some of those in white and added them around my layout as well.

 

I was really, really happy with the way this layout turned out. The bright colors were fantastic and the flowers were great with the spring theme. I didn't want to take the chance of messing my layout up by writing on it so I flipped it over and added some of my journaling to the back of my layout. After I added my journaling on the back I flipped it back over and thought it could use a bit more, so I roughed up the bottom and top and added a little pop of a patterned paper that was in the same pink as in the flowers and tucked a few of those in there too and was done! 

I hope you enjoyed this layout and I hope you come back and check out what else I create!

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!
