Bella Blvd Studio Blog: All American Inspiration Unlimited: Day Five

We hope you're ready to be inspired! We are looking forward to providing you with endless inspiration this entire week, with never-before-seen projects that feature our NEW All American collection. Our Design Team has been very busy creating oodles of project ideas with all of the new collection and we are excited to finally share those projects with you!

“Celebrating America”, by Becki Adams.

I love this collection! I've been so excited about its release. This collection has so many great prints and embellishments. I can't wait to use it on some projects for my little boys :) The photos on this layout make me smile. I love how the photos tell the story and how this collection helped me to document it in a way that will help my kids remember how we celebrated Independence Day. The journaling reads: We love to spend the 4th of July celebrating our freedoms by spending time outside, fishing, picnics, and fireworks.

"Festive For The Fourth”, by Jaclyn Rench.

Upon first laying eyes on the cute new All American collection, I immediately thought of the many festive t-shirts and outfits I have bought for and dressed my children in over the years. I anxiously rifled through years and years of photos (thank goodness for digital files!), to grab all those pictures of my kids showing off their American pride as they sport the red, white and blue. The adorable imagery and color palette of All American was a great compliment to these pictures and memories, and made putting together this page a snap!

All American: Seeing Stars, Borders & Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Chip Icons; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Saltwater; Designer Tape: Red Chevron; High Five Alphabet Stickers: Blue; Button Market: Stars; Flag: All American Words

"Sweetie", by Allyson Meinholz.

I was so excited to work with the NEW All American Collection. This layout of Alayna was inspired by a layout I saw. Once I did the colorblocking on the background and added the photo, I just started to embellish and add bits n pieces here and there! Love how this layout brought out her BIG BLUE eyes.

“4th of July Sparklers”, by Sheri Feypel.

I love the All American line! It is perfect for all things boy, and since that is all I have I will be using this line quite a bit. For this layout I cut apart the Borders page and layered some of the strips with a few decorative borders tucked in. I added lots of layers of feathers, chipboard, flags and buttons on top of the strips. And no layout is complete without a title, so I mixed up two different colors of Chipboard Alpha's to make the word "Sparklers" stand out. We enjoy waving sparklers around in the back yard after fireworks on 4th Of July despite some of the faces my son makes in photos.

Supplies:
All American: Seeing Stars, American Pride, Borders and Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Chip Icons; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Blueberry, Ice; Flags: All American Words; Designer Tapes: Red Chevron, Navy Dot, Chlorine Dot; Feathers: Surf & Turf; Button Market: Stars

When I first saw Bella Blvd’s All American collection, I thought of this bright red little mailbox I’ve been saving for just such a project. I knew this line would be perfect for it! Now I’m looking forward to decorating the house for the Fourth and adding this décor piece to my collection.
