It's always been fun to browse thru Pinterest, looking at the endless ideas and inspirational images that are out there. Our designers always enjoy taking whatever image we provide them, and using it in whatever way inspires them the most as they work on their projects. It's amazing to see how many different ideas and designs can be inspired by just one image.

“Live Laugh”, by Jamie Harder.
I love Pinterest inspiration and this image was no exception! I was immediately drawn to all the colours and wanted to mimic the linear row of colours. I did this using several patterned papers to be my background - every time I mix different collections, I am always so impressed how easily they mix and match! I then layered several embellishments - keeping them in line with their colour family. I think the photo really pops with such a colourful backdrop and definitely reflects my daughters vibrant personality.

"Summer Family Fun", by Stephanie Buice.
Color always speaks to me, so when I saw this picture I was immediately inspired to get my distress stains out and went to work creating my background. I wanted it to pull your eye into the center of my layout where my picture and embellishments are, because Bella offers many of their embellishments in a rainbow of colors it was super easy to pull from here and there to get the look I was going for. I paired the crochet hearts with mostly the Summer Squeeze collection to get a summery layout bursting with brightness and pops of black.

“P.S. I Love You” card, by Shellye McDaniel.
Rainbow-colored cards are an easy thing to make with Bella Blvd's color palette of McIntosh, Bell Pepper, Gulf and Pickle Juice. Just pick your favorite patterns from almost any collection and create a rainbow! For this card I chose to layer the same pattern of border but with various colors of the Lucky Starz papers. I only adhered the border strips at the base and then curled forward the scalloped top just a bit. I love the natural dimension that this adds!

“Beautiful Reasons” card, by Shellye McDaniel.
I followed the arc pattern created by the paintbrushes on this card. I used a jar lid to trace a semi-circle onto a piece of cardstock and then cut around it. Next, I cut triangular strips of paper, placed them onto the cardstock and then trimmed the ends of the strips to the shape of the semi-circle. I decided on a base paper of the Oreo Sprinkles to match the cute sentiment sticker!
