Winter Week- Day 5 | Melissa Mann

Good Morning, Bella friends!

This is Melissa with you today on the blog and I'm sharing a new project using the Let Us Adore Him paper collection and the Bella Besties paper collection. Here on the Gulf Coast of Florida, we are very lucky to enjoy pretty mild temperatures all winter long. This was the case on the day after Christmas! We all headed out to Pensacola Beach to get some family photos since all of the immediate family was in town and it was a super gorgeous day on the Gulf!

I documented this on the project I'm sharing with you today :-) I started with a piece of white card stock and layered two torn/distressed pieces of pattern paper to the top of the project. This was stitched down with my sewing machine. Then I gathered a bunch of tags from the Let Us Adore Him Ephemera pack and cut out a couple of tags using the Bella Besties paper. I layered these down the center of the layout and stitched them down.

Once the tags were in place, I used some water colors and lightly fanned out some pink, orange, and yellow swipes of paint around the sides of the tags - just a little pop of color. My photos were then layered on top of some vellum and layered at the top of the descending group of tags. 

I placed my title using the Florence and Aria alphabet stickers underneath my photos and my journaling was typed on white card stock and glued in the lower right hand corner. 

To finish my project off, I layered a few chipboard flowers and enamel dots around my project. Here's a peek at the full project!

What winter themed projects have you been creating? We would love to see them!

Winter Projects Week- Day 4 | Erica Thompson

Hello friends! Erica here with you today to share a scrapbook layout using the Let Us Adore Him collection and Bella Besties! 

For this page I went with an 8.5x11 page and matted a piece of white textured cardstock to another piece of white cardstock. I distressed the edges and added some silver splatters all over the page. 

I pulled out the new Bella Cuts and decided to use all the stars. I backed them using some Bella Besties Hearts & Ombre and the King Of Kings pattern paper!

My photos are of Liam Jay out in the snow all bundled up and I printed them in black and white. I matted them on some Punch Bella Besties and layered them in on some foam adhesive. I placed the cut out stars down the left of my page and then adhered my photos down. 

I wanted to add another texture and more stars so I pulled out the Bella Blvd Trinkets and sprinkled them around the page. I used some of the florals from the Let Us Adore Him collection to embellish to the right of my photo and added a few word stickers. 

To finish my layout I added a title using the Aria Alphas and tucked in one of the scallop stickers under my photos.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my layout and are inspired to create using the Let Us Adore Him collection.

Let Us Adore Him + Bella Besties Week- Day 3| Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper here today and I'd first like to say "Happy New Year!".  I hope y'all have the best year!  I'm happy to share a new layout for Bella Besties + Let Us Adore Him Week.  The Creative Team will be posting Winter projects and I have some super fun photos from our snow week last year.  We had a full week of snow down here in Louisiana so the boys and I decided to sit in the hot tub and eat the snow that was around us.  It was so fun!  Here's my layout: 

 

 

I chose the geometric heart from The Reason Cut Out pack and backed it using a few 12x12 papers from the collection as well as a few Hearts & Ombre patterned papers in Punch, Ice, Cotton Candy, Blueberry and Gulf.  I chose a white textured cardstock as the base of my layout and did some ink blending using a few Distress Oxide inks in blue shades.  This made my heart cut out pop even more!  

 

 

For my title, I used the Florence Alphas in Ice, Blueberry, Punch, Cotton Candy and Gulf. I also took the Oh Christmas Tree and Rainbow washi tapes and put them down towards the bottom of my page.  

 

 

I arranged my four photos on the right side of the heart and embellished around it using some of the Ephemera Words and Icons as well as some Ciao Chipboard and Doohickey Cardstock Stickers.  

 

 

I pulled in a few Heart Hugs, a blue Cute Clip and as finishing touches, Enamel Dots and some stars from the Epoxy Sticker sheet.  

 

 

Here's another look: 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope that I've inspired you in some way today!  Don't forget to check out my process video below to see how this page came together.  I just love that I can incorporate Bella Besties with all of the Bella collections and everything matches perfectly!  See you next time friends!

Let Us Adore Him + Bella Besties Week- Day 2 | Karlla Dauer

Hello Bella Friend.
Karlla here and I'm so happy to share a new layout with you.

"Bella Besties" inspires me a lot. This color makes me want to create more and more.

How not to have a happy day after looking at so many bright colors?

To be perfect, just add Bella Besties + Let Us Adore Him.

Our last winter in Texas was just beautiful. I'm Brazilian, and being able to experience snow is a dream.

For this project, I wanted to make it very colorful the way I love it.

I made a mix of colors that match the paper "Purity" from the Let Us Adore Him collection and cut the beautiful cut file "Winter Trees" in different sizes, which you can find at Silhouette Design.

To give a nice detail, I added a seam in the center of each tree. leaving the edges loose to create dimension.

I left the background very playful with a white cardstock and the "Prince of Peace".

This white further enhanced the colors and the blue of the background paper reminds me of the beautiful shade of the sky in the photo.

I usually use black and white photos in my layouts as these color photos are amazing.

Still in the trees, I added some elements like chipboard, puffy stickers and dots to make it more detailed.

I added two tags under the photos to highlight and give more color on cardstock.

I cut some flowers from the "Purity" paper and created some arrangements with the flowers you find on the chipboard card and ephemera.

And to end with a beautiful and fun title.

Bella's alphabets are amazing.

I made a mix with the red "Doohickey" from Let Us Adore Him and "Aria Alphabet - Gulf"

I hope you like it and get inspired by this explosion of colors.
See you soon,

Xx Karlla.

Winter Projects Week- Day 1 | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Let Us Adore Him Collection, the Bella Besties and one Bella Cut File.

I started my layout by painting a white cardstock with colors that match with the collection, cut it into strips and made a border on each one. Then, I cut a circle and cover it with the strips.

Once I had all the strips glued, I went through the papers of the collection and picked the Grace, Oh Holy Night and Prince Of Peace and backed the Baby, It’s Cold Outside cut file with them.

To build the layout I glued the circle, my photo and the cut file. For this I used adhesive foam to create dimension. Then, I fussy cut some flowers from the Purity paper and made clusters with them. To finish my layout, I backed the layout with the Bella Besties Graph & Dot in Gulf and Bell Pepper, and added Ciao Chip, Ephemera, Puffy Stickers and Enamels.

I love how this layout turned out! Hope you all like it and get inspired to create beautiful things! You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Let Us Adore Him + Cut Files Week -Day 6 |Nathalie DeSousa

Hello Bella Blvd friends!

Nathalie with you to continue with this week's Let Us Adore Him and Cut files theme.  I have so many images of my littles (niece and nephew) enjoying the season, and since I need to build their Christmas albums, I decided to combine the new Bird Wreath and the collection in this layout

 

 

I started by cutting the cut file base from Pickle Juice Ombre/Heart paper. I cut all the smaller leaves, flowers and button flowers from patterned papers from the collection.  My choice of the Oyster Ombre/heart for the background just enhances all the colors of the leaves and flowers. I framed the layout using the Humble paper. The tones of the paper reflect those on the wreath.

 

 

I used foam dots to add dimension to the small pieces on the wreath.   I started assembling the page with the wreath, then moved onto the title. I mixed ephemera words with Doohickey stickers for the title of the page,

 

 

 

I replace the birds with a picture of the littles, and instead opted to add a few extra flowers and leaves around the photo.   I added ephemera pieces to the two corners of the picture to help add interest to the page.

 

 

I love how this turned out, and I hope you have found inspiration for your documenting!

 

XO
