Baby Boy Inspiration

Today and Saturday, we are going to share some more of our Winter CHA projects with you. Are you getting excited to get our new products in your hands and onto your layouts, cards, and projects? All of our new products will start shipping to stores by the end of March. We know that you are patiently (or not so patiently, if you're like me ;)) waiting, and we are patiently waiting, so that we can get them on their way to you. So hang in there just a little bit longer! Today we are focusing on the Baby Boy collection.

"My Sweet Baby Boy", by Diane Payne.
{A Winter CHA Project}

The soft colors and whimsical animal designs of the Baby Boy line were perfect for highlighting the photo of my son taking some of his first steps through the tall grass. I arranged several of the cute animals up along the side of the layout with strips of paper and tape for a fun border.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: Baby Blue, It's a Boy, On the Go, Borders, Wild About You, Momma's Boy, Heaven Sent, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Miniatures Stickers, Chipboard Icons; Sophisticates: Quattrofina Mustard & Apricot Alpha Stickers; Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron, Pickle Juice Dot; Button Market: Masculine Mix; Flags: Home Sweet Home

"Carson", by Stephanie Hunt.

My nephew has grown up so fast and is already five years old, but I couldn't help but pull some older photographs out when the Baby Boy products were finally printed! I loved how the green star pattern coordinating so perfectly with the colors in his outfit so I chose the paper first and ran with the embellishments. To make the new Designer Tapes appear more opaque than they actually I I mounted them to white cardstock first, and then tore the ends for a natural look. And, in efforts to keep all the attention on the photographs and that cute little face I scattered the borders, buttons and sticker elements along the outside edges of the page, keeping them playful and floating.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: On the Go, Borders, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron, Blue Gingham; Button Market: Masculine Mix, Wood Mix, Bursts, Neutrals Mix, Checkers, Stars; Sophisticates: Blue High Fives Alphabets, Brownie chipboard alphabets

"Tiny Bundle" card, by Kimberly Neddo.

I’m really loving creating banners on cards. It’s a great design to work over the top of to create a fun look, and layer on top of. The Designer Tape makes the perfect border to add embellishments and a sentiment too.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: Borders, Wild About You, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Flags; Designer Tapes: Blue Gingham; Button Market: Blues

"Congrats" card, by Kathy Martin.

Boy oh boy! I'm really into this new Baby Boy line by Bella Blvd! There are so many adorable animals and baby icons like these little onesies! The minute I saw them I just knew they needed to be hung on a line! And there's no better background than some pretty white puffy clouds!

Supplies:
Baby Boy: Heaven Sent, Borders, Alpha+Bits Stickers

"ABC" altered baby boy blocks, by Suzanne Sergi.
{A Winter CHA Project}

I love being able to create home decor projects using beautiful scrapbook papers. The baby boy collection paired wonderfully with three wood blocks I had in my stash. I covered all sides with a variety of papers to create sweet ABC blocks. these were easy to alter, and on a couple of sides I used many of the embellishments from this collection to add a bit of dimension. These are perfect for a boy's nursery, or would make for a sweet baby shower gift.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: Icons, Miniatures, Alpha+Bits, On The Go, Momma's Boy, Borders, Heaven Sent, just Write Journaling Stickers, It's A Boy

"Baby Boy" mini album, by Brook Stewart.
{A Winter CHA Project}

I had done a mini album like this for my oldest boy and was just waiting for the perfect paper line to continue the tradition with my second little guy. Imagine my complete JOY when I found out Bella was coming out with baby collections! And of course, they were exactly what I was looking for!

I decorated the cover and the opposite inside pages with the Baby Boy papers and embellishments. I was able to use some chipboard on the front cover of course. Who can resist that super cute monkey?!

It documents just some tiny tidbits from each month, birth to 12 months. It’s a simple 4x6 chipboard album. I printed the standard 4x6 photos for one side of the page and mixed in color and black and white photos.

Now, this book is already pretty thick, so I didn’t want to use anything bulky on the inside pages. This is where the Alpha+Bits Sticker sheets and Miniatures come in super handy! There are SO many fun little sentiments, borders and cute little designs that I didn’t need anything else! They made the perfect little additions to each page.

I also used the new High Five Alphas in multiple colors to add the month number right over the bottom right hand corner of my photos.

Supplies:
Baby Boy: It’s a Boy, Baby Blue, Mommas Boy, Wild About You, On the Go, Heaven Sent, Borders, Cute Cuts, Alpha Bits, Ciao Chip Icons, Flags; Sophisticates: High Five Alphas in Yellow, Green, Blue, Black-White
