Mood Board Week | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper here today and I'm super excited to share this layout I made using the gorgeous March Mood Board along with the You Are My Sunshine collection.  Here's my page: 

Here's the mood board: 

I was immediately inspired by the top left square and decided to recreate that same watercolor rainbow look by spraying some Shimmerz Paints sprays onto a piece of thick white cardstock.  I went in rainbow order and sprayed each color and then brushed it down the page.  Super simple!

There's a super cute cloud right under the rainbow square, so I used the cloud Cut Outs from the Over The Rainbow Cut Outs pack.  I popped it up on foam tape and then for some extra sparkle, I applied some gold Stickles directly onto the clouds.  

For my title, I used one of the Ephemera Icons pieces and adhered it right on top of my photo.  I also matted my photo using a few of the patterned papers in the collection.  

When it was time to embellish, I did so by color blocking with more Ephemera Icons, Epoxy Stickers and the Fly Away Bella Pops.  

For some extra color and texture, I added some tangled thread in all of the colors and tucked in under the Cut Out.  

Here's one last look at this bright and colorful layout.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way!  Don't forget to play along and use this March Mood Board as inspiration for your next project.  See you next time friends!

March Mood Board | Laura Alberts

Hello friends! I'm using the stunning March mood board to inspire my layout this week. The rainbow, tiny hearts, and bright yellow caught my attention, and added to this grid style, were the primary focus for my design. Love the bright happy colors in this one!

I used the lovely Everyday Magic paper for the background and then layered the Bell Pepper Freehand Graph & Dot and My Only Sunshine striped patterned papers to create a column design on this 9x12 layout. Two of my photos are matted with bright pink Happy Thoughts and the larger photo is matted with a cut-apart piece from the Daily Details.

I outlined each section of my layout with a black gel pen to give it a shadow that adds the appearance of depth and dimension. Small clusters around my photos were a fun way to embellish a bold color scheme without overwhelming my photos.

For my title, I layered an acrylic word "Sparkle" over a chipboard scallop and a rainbow cluster on the right side. This helps to highlight my larger photo as the main focal image on the page.

I added 1/4" white cardstock strips for my journaling and added little fussy cut hearts to the ends. With a little gold Nuvo and ink spray, this layout really shines!

Spring + Cut Outs | Rachel O'Neal

Hi friends! It's Rachel here on the blog today! One of the products I have enjoyed using the most this last year are the Bella Blvd Cut Outs. I'm back again today with another layout focusing on spring and Cut Outs. I used a variety of collections and everything mixed and matched perfectly! Here's my layout:

 

I started first by using the You & Me Cut Out set. This giant title really has all the wow factor. I used the template included and cut out each letter using this beautiful floral paper called Welcome Home. Next, I set out to get my background in place. I knew I wanted to use the Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre paper in the colors that matched the floral paper. I cut 1" strips of paper on the heart side in the following colors: Cotton Candy, Peep, Punch, Orange, Bell Pepper, Ice, Gulf, and Pickle Juice. I added the strips to the white cardstock to create a beautiful rainbow background. I also drew some lines and stamped some xxx's onto the strips. Then I secured the You & Me on top using foam tape.

For my photos, I chose three 2" photos, backed them with white cardstock, and then layered a fun stripe paper called Balloon Ride. You can find this one in the Let's Go On An Adventure collection. The chipboard flowers I used also came from this collection.

To my great delight, I had an entire pack of Sugar Coating puffy stickers that I had never used. This sheet is filled with flowers, leaves, hearts, and dots. I placed them all over the strips of paper and color coordinated them accordingly. I finished the layout with some smaller titles using the black Florence Alphas down the sides of each end. 

And that is how my layout came together! I love how all the bright colors and floral patterned paper scream "spring!". Thanks for stopping by today. Here's a list of all the items I used:

• Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre Paper in: Cotton Candy, Peep, Punch, Orange, Bell Pepper, Ice, Gulf, and Pickle Juice.
• You & Me Cut Out
• Welcome Home Patterned Paper
• Balloon Ride Patterned Paper
• Sugar Coating Puffy Stickers
• Let's Go On An Adventure Ciao Chip
• Florence Alphas in Black

Spring Vibes + Cut Outs | Laura Alberts

Hello Friends! I'm back with a bright, sunshine-filled layout using the You Are My Sunshine collection. This layout starts with a Bella Besties background of Bell Pepper Graph and Dot, then I layered the lovely little clouds from the Over the Rainbow Cut Outs.

I backed the clouds with the Feeling Sunny and My Only Sunshine patterned papers, then tucked my photos in behind them. I added a strip from the Borders paper at the bottom and some larger chipboard pieces on first.

To embellish around the clouds, I used a lot of fussy cut icons, enamel shapes, and stickers from the Doohickey sticker sheet. This is such a fun, whimsical collection and I think it captures my daughter's imagination perfectly! 

To finish this one off, I drew a cloud at the bottom to hold my journaling and dotted black Nuvo drops and gold ink splatter around the clusters. I even drew in some tiny hearts for just a little more detail on this page.
