Friends bring color

Hey everyone,

I am sharing a very colorful layout that I made for Bella Blvd with you today.

I wanted to create a vibrant fun layout that was as youthful as the teens in my photos. Bella's High Five alpha's & Alpha + Bits cardstock stickers helped make my title come to life. To complete the look I created these fun whimsical circles paired with Bella's Flags and Crocheted hearts. Bella’s designer tapes are also a great way to make a statement. I paired them together to make a fun border for this layout.

That Look

Hi everyone,

I must admit that I have not done a good job of keeping up with my blog this month. I recently had some projects that were picked up for publishing and I have been busy working on some extra projects for calls that I can't share yet.

I decided to take a break from all the submitting and just make something for fun the other day. I mean the kind of fun where you break out the spray inks and the Silhouette Cameo - and you just create to your hearts content - freely on paper.

That's how I came up with this layout. I had these sweet photos of my niece Sophia - and I wanted a spunky fun layout that would match her style.

That Look layout:

I used pie chart die cuts that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo and four different Bella BLVD collections. I love how trendy this turned out to be.
