Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Layouts On Wednesdays

It's been almost a week now, since our new products started shipping out to stores and online retailers. We hope that you're all tracking down the new goodies, filling up your shopping carts, and having fun using them on your projects! We can't wait to see how you use all the new collections and embellishments! Which leads us to another Free-For-All layout day, where we share what our Design Team is doing with both old and new Bella products.

"Play Ball", by Lynn Ghahary.

Spring is all about baseball in my house especially now that BOTH of my boys will be playing. Lots of time will be spent at the ball field these next few months that's for sure. This photo is one that I snapped last year and I just love how the line-up of dirty cleats and bats on the bench depicts so much of what this sport is all about. Of course I used the Making the Team collection for this layout - the colors and patterns were just perfect!

Supplies:
Making the Team: Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Stickers, Borders, Cute Cuts, Football, Soccer; Family Dynamix: Alpha+Bits

"Suddenly A Boy", by Laura Vegas.

Zachary is one of my daycare kiddos, and lately, it's really hit me just how big he's gotten, in such a short amount of time. I dug out these four photos of him, all with a similiar look and pose, and thought it would be fun to show them side by side, on one layout. I pulled papers from a few different collections, to create a very "boyish" layout.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: Momma's Boy; Mr Boy: Dinomite, Follow Me, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Icon Chipboard; Midterm: Borders N' Blocks; Making the Team: Quadrants, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Simply Simona: Oreo; Flags: Boy: Button Market: Blues; Stars, Masculine Mix; Designer Tape: Red Dot, Pickle Juice Dot, Jail Bird

"Sweet Girl", by Melissa Stinson.

Sometimes it's fun just to scrap a photo for no reason other than you really like it. There's no huge story behind this layout. It's just a photo I snapped of my niece one day while she was playing in her crib. Such a cutie!

Supplies:
Spring Flings and Easter Things: Mom's Bouquet, A Tisket a Tasket, Egg Hunt, Cute Cuts; Baby Blooms a Bella: Azzini, Rossini; Simply Simona Chipboard Alphas: Saltwater Alphabet

"My Little Jokester", by Brook Stewart.
{A Winter CHA Project}

Silly pictures … these are the kind of pictures I get these days from my 7 year old. He likes to make faces at the camera and then see them as soon as we take them. He’s my little jokester for sure! The Oyster Sprinkles and Lace paper has become on of my “go-to” papers when I want something subtle that will make everything else pop. That’s exactly what it did for these super fun new Ciao Chip Borders, which was one of my favorite things from the new releases this year!! I also mixed in several colors of the new High Five Alphas, another one of my favorites from this release!

Supplies:
Sophisticates: Oyster Sprinkles and Lace, Oreo Sprinkles and Lace, Short Stories, Chip Borders, Yellow High Five Alphas, Green High Five Alphas
