It's Wednesday, and time for another round of free-for-all layouts from our Layout Designers!
“Salted Oreo”, by Vivian Masket.
I had fun with the title element on this layout, placing it so that the last "o" in "Oreo" encircles my daughter's ice cream in the photo. The Black-White High Five Alphabet was perfect here, as it has both colors present in Oreos! Designer Tape in two colors and a Flag draw attention to the title.
Supplies:
Sophisticates: Borders Ciao Chip; Flags: Text Me, Fall; Designer Tape: Red Dot, Yellow Chevron; High Five Alphabets: Black-White
“Love In A Tree Of Three”, by Kimberly Neddo.
I centered this layout around the natural heart shaped hallowed out hole in this Redwood tree that the kids were standing in. I used the fun designer tape to scrunch and shape into a heart shape around the heart in the tree, framing it all together.
Supplies:
Flirty: Omigosh; Sunshine & Happiness: Petal Power; Finally Fall: Miniatures; Mr Boy: Alpha+Bits Stickers; High Five Alpha Stickers: Pink-Red; Button Market: Feminine Mix; Designer Tape: Red Dot
"Sleeping Beauty", by Brook Stewart.
"B" sides of papers are often times my favorite, usually because they are so versatile. They Birthday Girl line is no different! Even though this collection is very themed, the B sides are perfect for any girly layout! I chose to go with a picture of our new little one sleeping, which even now at 6 weeks, it's what she does best!
Supplies:
Birthday Girl: Party Dress, Sugar Rush, Borders, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Sienna Chipboard Alpha: Punch; High Five Alpha: Yellow; Button Market: Purple Flowers, Hot Pink Flowers; Designer Tape: Gulf Dot, Yellow Chevron
“Happy 70th Birthday”, Julie Johnson.
This is a photo of my Dad on taken on his 70th birthday. I couldn't have chosen a more fitting collection than Birthday Boy. It's "happy" just like my Dad. I love that this collection is perfect for a "boy" birthday. It's great for both young boys and all those grown up boys that are still young at heart. And that's my dad, young at heart! But maybe you don't have a boy. This layout would also look adorable in the Birthday Girl collection. I love that I can take the same idea and just switch out the paper!
Supplies:
Birthday Boy: Toadilly Cool, Just a Note, Eat Cake, Streamers, Borders, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Chipboard Icons, Birthday Boy Flags 2; Simply Simona Chipboard Numbers: McIntosh
“My Prince”, by Sue Mylde.
I love the Estate Sale collection, one of the best vintages of Bella Blvd, in my mind. The colors are rich and distinct and the patterns are very versatile. In this page, I combined the papers from the Estate Sale collection and added some of the latest chipboard trees for contrast and texture.
Supplies:
Estate Sale: Nana's Apron, Linens, Hat Box, Bits A Bella; Sunny Happy Skies: Alpha+Bits Stickers; Ciao Chip Elements: Trees
These are all gorgeous!! I loveeeeeeeeeee how Vivian and Kimberly used the "O" and the heart to frame parts of their photos!!!!

Wow! Love the beautiful simplicity that Vivian always brings with her layouts. That washi tape heart on Kimberly's layout is amazing and I love how the paper colors so perfectly compliment the photo in Brook's layout. That giant cupcake is so much fun and the colors in Sue Mylde's layout are stunning together--perfect with the black and white photo! Thanks for the inspiration once again ladies! :)

Absolutely love these pages! Vivian's page is so cool - how she placed the title perfectly within her grid of photos. Thanks for all the inspiration!
