Time To Travel | Rachel O'Neal

Hi friends! It's Rachel again! I'm bringing you another super fun Time To Travel collection layout. For this layout, I had the best time using one of the Bella Blvd Cut Outs for my giant title. If you haven't used one of these yet you've got to give it a try! Using the templates that come with the set make it super easy to get that cut file look without a machine. I used the 12" x 12" patterned paper called Freeway. It's a large stripe paper which made it perfect to back each of the letters with a different color. I adhered it to the cardstock with foam tape for added dimeson. I decided to go ahead and finish my title with some black Florence alphas. It's not often I create my title first, but it worked well for this layout.

I had several photos from our boat cruise down the Missouri River that I wanted to showcase and grids are always great for that! My photos are 2" x 2". I backed them with white cardstock and then my favorite black and white stripe paper from the collection - Road Trip. I also used foam tape to put these down. Next, I pulled out the Oh My Stars tabbies and added them to the side of some of the photos.

Now it was time to embellish. I used pieces from the Ciao Chip and the Scenic Route puffy stickers from the Time To Travel collection. I also pulled out my set of Trinkets Puffy stickers and used several hearts in McIntosh, Guacamole, Bell Peppers and Blueberry. I finished the layout with some stamping.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you like what you see. Here's a list of all the supplies I used:

• Bella Blvd Cut Outs: I Love Travel
• 12" x 12" Time To Travel Patterned Paper (Road Trip and Freeway)
• Oh My Stars Tabbies
• Time To Travel Ciao Chip
• Florence Alphas (black)
• Scenic Route Puffy Stickers
• Trinkets Puffy Stickers (McIntosh, Guacamole, Bell Pepper, and Blueberry)

Tiny Tots 2.0 | Sarah

Hello, Bella friends! I hope you are all doing well, and I certainly hope you get some time to get crafty very soon. Anyway, it's me Sarah (@redoaklines) hosting today's blog post, and I'm excited to share a layout using the adorable Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. If you haven't already seen it, you're missing out! It's the cutest collection I have seen this year!

Here's how I felt inspired to use it:

I started out with the grid background on one of the Bella Blvd patterned papers from this collection. I wanted to add a splash of color, so I added watercolor droplets to it. I, of course, followed the colors of the rainbow.

Sticking with the rainbow colors, I used the solid rainbow striped patterned paper from the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection behind a Bella Blvd Cut-Outs.

I tilted the "Learn and Play" title and added my photo to give my layout a fun, playful look. What do you think of that angled look? I think it's a great way to change up how you place Bella Cut-Outs.

Some simple ways to embellish your photo is by adding a mat behind it using any coordinating patterned papers, as well as layering some Doohickey stickers and Ephemera Icons.

To embellish my Cut-Outs title, I added some little bits and pieces from my Ephemera Icons pack. I mainly looked for the stars and added them to some of the letters. I used foam adhesive to add dimension to my page.

When I saw the lions in the Ephemera Icons pack, I knew I wanted to use it on this 12x12 layout. They're adorable, and it felt like it fit perfectly with this playful project. There are other adorable animals in the Ephemera Icons pack such as zebras, turtles, giraffes, just to name a few. 

For my journaling, I printed on a vellum sheet of paper. I then added some die cuts below to help add more color to my page. 

And that's all I have for today! Isn't the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection just the cutuest?! I love that it's a great collection for those baby/toddler photos, but it can also be used to document just about anything. I plan to use it on a dog layout next. Go figure, hehe.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and follow along!

Until next time,

Sarah.

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.
