We are thrilled to introduce you to our November Guest Designer, Stephanie Dagan! She has worked her creative magic with our Christmas Wishes collection, our Sophisticates collection, and our Birthday Boy collection.
My name is Stephanie Dagan and I live in France in Normandy. I have three children who are my main source of inspiration. I scrap for 8 years now always with the same passion. I have a fairly graphic style that has evolved over the years to be a little more charged. I have a passion for patterned paper, I love mix them together and play with colors that's why I often feel more at ease to create mini albums rather than do single page. I also discovered photography thanks to scrapbooking, and my Canon is never far from me.
"Christmas Memories" mini album, by Stephanie Dagan.
When I discovered the whole Christmas collection Bella Blvd, I found everything so extraordinary that I could not bring myself to make a page. So I decided to make a mini album made of pockets in which I will put the photos at that time. I especially love the stickers because there are all sizes and so they adapt perfectly to any type of project. They mix perfectly together and give dimension to the project.
"Girls", by Stephanie Dagan.
This page was built from one paper of the Sophisticates collection "Tall Tags", I found the format of these tags so fantastic that I decided to cut them in order to layered them on the bottom of my page. I then positioned my photos above and to give a little more roundness to this page, I added some circles. The colors are just perfect for the theme. This is also what I like in Bella Boulevard collections, the colors are always so bright and fresh that gives lot joy to the layout.
"Hope You Have An Amazing Birthday" card, by Stephanie Dagan.
If I had more photos of my last birthday boy, I think I also made a mini album as this collection is also fantastic! So I made two cards trying to mix all the papers that I preferred. On one of the cards, I cut strips of paper that I stitched together, this is a technique I use a lot because it is well worth the papers and very easy to do. I keep the rest of the papers not far from me for the next birthday I will not fail to do lots of pictures.
