Spell on You Week | Karlla Dauer

Hello Bella Friends,

Karlla here to share a new layout with you. I'm obsessed with the "Spell on You" collection. My son is starting to like Halloween and it's being amazing. I love this date and I hope he has a lot of fun this year. I created a layout not so scary like that, but it has all my heart.

He's already started picking out his costumes, and how not to love "Bell Pepper Hearts and Ombre" for this project? matched perfect with the color palette. A neutral base to highlight all the details and photos of this layout.

At the top of the layout, I made an overlap with a torn at the edges. I chose this mix of black with yellow and loved how highlighted the background.

For the base of the photos, I chose to play with a combination of "ephemeral, puffy stickers, chipboards..." in multiple layers of overlays and heights.

As we are having fun, why not leave the title in that same style? Two different alphabets left the layout with more life.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that I've inspired you. Are you already in the costume ready for this fun day?

Xo Karlla.

Spell On You | Ashley Neu

Hello, hello! It's officially October and our Halloween decorations are now up! Now it really feels like the Halloween season. Today, I am sharing a new layout using the brand new Spell On You collection for the Bella Blvd Creative Team. I am continuing to go back to previous Halloweens and document photos that are still not scrapped. This photo is from 2014 and it's one of my middle daughter at the age of 2 1/2. She had picked a zebra costume that year!

 

 

For the main element on my layout, I wanted to have a large title that said the word "Bootiful" which was so fitting for my little girl! I used the following patterned papers: Borders, All Tricks No Treats, Carving Pumpkins, Daily Details, Candy Dots, Bootiful Night, Spooky Skulls and Wee Witches to hand-cut each letter. I wanted the title to be whimsical and fun so a hand-cut title makes this possible! I then outlined each letter using a white gel pen. 

 

 

Next, I grabbed the Bella Besties Hearts + Ombre paper in Orange and used the ombre side to create the background. I tore approximately an inch off of both the top and bottom to create some fun texture. I adhered this paper onto some black cardstock. This really helped the background paper pop! After adhering the title using both foam adhesive and my ATG gun, I added my photo next to the word "boo".

 

 

Finally, I worked on embellishing around the title and photo. I wanted a bunch of elements peeking out and around the letters. I added some puffy bats (which I actually DESPISE in real life), clouds, skulls, a ghost and spider, a spooky tree, a spider web and a ton more! I grabbed a scalloped border from the Ciao Chip to ground the bottom letters to the layout. The last step was using some black watercolor to splatter all over the background and elements on the layout! I was careful to avoid my photo by covering it up with a scrap piece of paper.

 

 

I am so excited for Halloween and all of the festivities that occur this month. This layout felt good to get done and I can cross off another Halloween photo documented! I hope you have a wonderful day, and I will catch up with you all next time!

Spell on You | Sarah

Hello, Bella friends! It's me Sarah back on the blog today, and I'm excited to be sharing another Halloween layout with all of you! Can you tell that Halloween is my favorite holiday?! It's a big deal in my house, so you know I've got tons of photos that I want to document.

I wanted to create a layout with a simple design using the new Spell on You collection, and here's how I felt inspired:

With just two photos, the Daily Details 12x12 Patterned Paper, and bits and pieces from the Spell on You collection, I was able to create this simple design. I started with one of the 3x4 cards from the Daily Details sheet. 

I backed my photos with the backside of the Daily Details patterned paper. I love how festive the orange and black polkadot paper looks behind my photos.

The Ephemera Icons pack for the Spell on You collection is loaded with Halloween fun! I love this spooky tree, and I knew it would be a fun addition to this page. I felt like my journaling fit in so nicely right next to it. I also added an assortment of puffy stickers to add pops of color onto my layout.

Lastly, I added a touch of doodling to tie all my pieces together. Sometimes, completing your project can be as simple as adding some doodling.

That's all I have for today! Thanks so much for joining me, and thanks for letting me share my work with all of you. Make sure that you check out the Bella Facebook and IG page for more inspiration!

Until next time,

Sarah.
