Mix n' Match- Time to Travel & Tiny Tots 2.0 | Virginia

Sharing a page created with mostly the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. I had fun mimicking waves with the scalloped borders from the sticker sheet. I layered them in sections across the bottom of my page. I also used the negative scalloped piece, it is the section from the bottom of the white scalloped border and the bottom edge of the sticker sheet. 

The 'Love to cruise' title is composted of taking letters from the various phrases from the chipboard sheet. A tip, try using an anagram solver on-line, just plug in the letters and it creates and thinks of the all the possible variations! Hope this inspires you to get crafty, have a great day!

Tiny Tots 2.0 | Ashley Neu

Hi scrappy friends! Ashley here! I hope you are all having a great week. Today, I am sharing a layout using the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. My girls are no longer tots but I still have some awesome photos that I need to document from when they were! 

 

 

The photo I am documenting is of my 2 daughters in a shopping cart while grocery shopping. The "smile" Cut Out from the Happiness Cut Outs set was the perfect title for their smiley faces! I backed the word using the patterned papers named Watch Out, 123s, Apple Snack, Be Brave, Daily Details, ABCs and Borders. These were the perfect papers to create a rainbow title!

 

 

Because I couldn't fit any purple into the rainbow title, I decided to add it as part of the background. I used the Graph + Dots Bella Besties in Plum to mat the white background leaving a 1/4-inch border all the way around. 

 

 

Next, I added to the title by using the Florence alphas stickers in the colors Punch, Ice and Plum. This finished off the title perfectly! The majority of the embellishing was created using the Trinket Puffy Stickers. I will have all of the colors listed in the supplies list below! I added each color beneath and above the coordinating color of the letters. I also used some of the Epoxy Stickers from the collection to help fill in some of the gaps as well as 3 stars on top of the Cut-Out. My photo was added right next to the Cut-Out. I matted the photo on vellum and added some stickers from the Doo-Hickey Sticker sheet.

 

 

And that's that! This was a super easy layout to put together. The Cut-Out took care of the title and the embellishing was just adding little clusters above and beneath the coordinating colors in the title. I hope you give this technique a try! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

 

Supplies Used: Tiny Tots 2.0 collection- 12x12 patterned papers, DooHickey Stickers, Epoxy Stickers; Florence Alpha Stickers in Punch, Ice and Plum; Trinket Puffy Stickers in Punch, Peep + Cotton Candy, McIntosh, Orange, Bell Pepper, Pickle Juice + Guacamole, Ice + Gulf and Blueberry; Cut-Outs- Happiness

I am usually a white background type of scrapper but today you will not find one piece of white textured cardstock on my layout! I am so excited to share a layout using a pattern paper background with the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection

I had a section of the the Sidekick 12x12 pattern paper which is this fun colorful stripe! This paper is what inspired my layout and I just love how it turned out! You can see the fun You Are A Star paper peeking out from the left and right of the layout and then a fun scallop I punched out of the 123's paper! 

I printed out some photos of Liam Jay in black and white and matted them all on some colorful pattern paper from the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. I decided to go with a fun vertical design and match up embellishments with the colors in the pattern paper! 

For a couple of the photos I added fun die cut frames and embellished on the frames. A lot of the embellishment are popped up for added dimension! 

I placed my title in the bottom right corner of the layout using some puffy stickers and doo hickeys! 

This layout was so fun to create and I just love how colorful it is! Thanks so much for stopping by the Bella Blog today!

Time to Travel | Stephanie Buice

Hi everyone, happy weekend!

Steph Buice here sharing a colorful layout I recently completed about my son Brady's new love of photography!

Now you may be asking yourself why I chose to use our new Time to Travel collection to document a new hobby, and my answer to that is...because it's PERFECT! From all of the camera ephemera, papers, puffy stickers, and even Bella Pops, I couldn't help but pull them all together to capture his latest love!

I had lots of fun creating this one too! I even managed to use a technique I don't put on my pages regularly, but adding rolled up papers gives a nice touch...see what I did there?..."Passion Unrolling"...papers that are unrolling, feels like a bad dad joke, but I'm a mom so here we are. Ha!

Once I had the ends of my papers rolled and secured using super glue, my layout came together rather quickly. I adhered everything to my layout base, added my title, a few embellishments, photos, and called it good to go! 

 

Thanks for joining me today, I hope I inspired you to use your Time to Travel goodies for more than your summer adventures!

All supplies used are from the Time To Travel collection, Bella Besties, and Trinkets.

 

 

Tiny Tots 2.0 | Brianna Lepper

Hey friends!  Brianna Lepper here today sharing a new layout using the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection.  I love this collection so much and it's given me the opportunity to go back and document older photos of my boys that I haven't scrapbooked yet.  These photos are of me and the boys riding a train ride at a local fair in my hometown.  I can't believe how much they've grown, and I miss their toddler days so much!  Here's my layout: 

I haven't had a chance to use any of the Cut Outs from the collection, so I pulled out the Adorbs Cut Out pack and ended up choosing the Adorbs cut out.  I backed it using several different patterned papers from the collection and popped it up on foam tape. Before I adhered it down, I decided to add some mixed media to my background.  I took out some Shimmerz Paints sprays from my stash using only blues, greens and yellows and sprayed/painted each one on.  I wanted a little something peeking out from underneath the cut out.  

Here's another look at the backed Cut Out and the mixed media.  

I wanted more patterned paper on my layout, so I cut triangles from the ABC's paper and adhered them down on the bottom left and top right corners.  Next, I matted my photos and adhered them at the top and bottom of the Cut Out.  Using the Ellie and Stand Tall Bella Pops as embellishment cluster placements, I layered in some floral Ciao Chip stickers and a few floral Ephemera pieces.  

I am in love with the Playtime Trinkets Puffy stickers as well as the Cuteness Epoxy stickers, so I had to make sure to sprinkle some in.  

 

One more shot of this bright and happy layout: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that I've inspired you in some way!  I'll see you in my next post friends!

Fireworks + Freedom | Ashley Neu

Hello everyone! Hope you are having an awesome week. Today I am sharing a Fireworks & Freedom layout that I put together documenting a photo of my 3 girls on the 4th back in 2017.

 

To make the background, I grabbed a cut file named Seeing Stars Cut File from Bella Blvd. I cut it out from the patterned paper named "Juicy Fruits" and adhered it onto some white cardstock, leaving a white boarder around the edges. 

I decided to that I wanted a representation of the United States so I found this USA Map cut file from Bella Blvd that would work perfectly. I simply omitted the 'USA' title on the cut file and cut the rest out. I grabbed the patterned paper "Borders" and adhered it onto of the cut file. I trimmed around the edges and used my distress tool to give a fun finish to the cut file.  I also added some stitching around the cut file using some white embroidery floss. This really helped the cut file pop off of the page.

Next, I worked on the title and photo placement. I added my photo on the right side of the cut file and created a cluster to the left of my photo. I used an ephemera piece that said 'Happy Birthday America' as my title and added 2 stars and another USA map ephemera piece to the cluster. I also added the year the photo was taken from the Florence Alphabet Stickers in the color white on top of the photo itself. I kept the rest of the embellishing very simple as I already had a lot going on with the patterned paper on top of the USA map cut file. I only used some of the Acrylic Shapes from the 'Patriotic Stars' pack to add next to some of the stars on the background paper. This gave the perfect finishing touch to a fun and patriotic layout!

Thank you all for stopping by the Bella Blvd blog today. I hope you love this layout as much as I do. See you next time!
