Hello Happiness

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your week.  I have a layout up on the Bella Blvd blog today that I would like to share with you using this sketch that was given to us.

I have loved being a part of the Bella Blvd team this year, it is hard to believe this is going to be my last assignment for the term.  I wanted to end the year with a sweet and cheerful layout about friendship. The Snapshots collection worked beautifully with the sketch that was given to us.  I stuck with the three main vertical columns in the sketch but incorporated bigger boxes so that I could use 4x6 photos.  I also used the daily details cards, I love the way they complete the layout.

You Ampersand Me

Hi there!

I have a fun project to share with you today for Bella Blvd  using this fun Pinterest Inspiration image:

You Ampersand Me Layout

I had so much fun using this pinterest inspired image.  I took the idea from the image to use 3 items (2 photos and a title)
in a vertical line.  By keeping my 3 focal images in a line and using limited embellishments, I found that it gave my
layout a very clean and linear look and kept the focus on my photos.  The Daily Chevies papers were the perfect way to
showcase these special photos that I took of my kids at the park having a brother-sister moment.

supplies:
Christmas Countdown: City Sidewalks
Daily Chevies: Chevy Oreo, Chevy Peep, Chevy Carrot
Die Cut Shapes: Paper Pieces Trick Or Treat
Crochet Hearts: McIntosh Hearts

Live Laugh & Let it Be

Hi Friends,


Are you ready for a Pinterest inspired post?  Some of the girls at Bella Blvd were recently given this image (found on Pinterest) and asked to create a layout or a card with it.  I took inspiration from all the colors and the gold circular dots.

Using this image here is what I came up with:


Live Laugh and Let it Be

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut feathers out of vellum paper and embellished them with enamel
dots and gold confetti pieces before layering them with Bella Blvd Saltwater and Oreo-Black feathers.  I love the look combined with the Snapshots collection.  It is so playful and fun just like the teen girls in my photo.

Supplies:
Snapshots: Hurry Up!, Borders Snapshots, Daily Details Snapshots
Trick Or Treat: Leaf Storm
Cardstock Stickers: Alpha + Bits Trick Or Treat, Captions Trick Or Treat, Captions Snapshots
Feathers: Oreo-Black, Saltwater
Crochet Hearts: Saltwater

Snap Happy..

Hi everyone! It's Saturday and that means it's time for another sketch over on the Bella Blvd. blog. For July we were given this sketch to work with from Becky Fleck.

This is what I created using the sketch....
Snap Happy Layout

This was a fun sketch to work with, I stuck pretty close to the original which brought my layout together fast. I only made a few small alterations along the way. I really wanted to showcase this self portrait of my daughter but I only had 1 photo so I placed a polaroid die-cut where the second photo should be. I also changed the direction of the spray pattern and added some confetti for a fun look. I kept the strips of pattern papers in the center of the layout (just like the sketch), but added a hexagon to the background. I love that the Freestyle Sophisticates are so versatile, they are perfect for any occasion!

supplies:
Sand and Surf: Alpha + Bits, Miniatures
Engaged At Last: Bachelorette Party, Bachelor Extras, Alpha + Bits Bachelor/ette
All American: United We Stand
Freestyle Sophisticates: McIntosh, Banana, Gulf, Saltwater, Scallop, Pickle Juice
Designer Tape: Gray Chevron
Crochet Hearts: Gulf, Bell Pepper
Ciao Chip Versatile Elements: Stars and Hearts

newer lines.  For this layout I used bit n pieces of Spring Things and Easter Things, & Lovey Dovey, mixed with Crochet Hearts
