Bella Blvd Studio Blog: On-Going Guest Designers: Brook Stewart, Ann-Christin Larsen, Ebony van der Starre

When we were choosing our 2012-2013 Design Team back in September, we had a few additional designers that we just weren't ready to pass up. So just like last year, we decided to invite these designers to join our team this year as On-Going Guest Designers. They will be sharing projects with us every other month, and we are excited to share their work with you.

“Confident”, by Brook Stewart.

The Sand & Surf collection is perfect for beach or poolside photos, so I went that route here. I also added in the neutral gray chevron from the Engaged at Last line for the background and some black chevron designer tape and it kind of changed the whole feel of the color palette. I love changing things up!

Supplies:
Engaged at Last: Bachelor Party; Sand & Surf: Flying High, Surf's Up, GPS, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Miniatures; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Ice; Designer Tape: Chevron Combo

“Sweet Dreams”, by Brook Stewart.

I adore the colors in the Engaged at Last line. They are so soft and perfect for so many things. Like baby girls of course! :) The crochet hearts were the perfect touch to the photo of my littlest snoozing away!

"Vacation", by Ann-Christin Larsen.

I love summer and especially those summer papers for scrapping. I think it’s so inspiring with the bright colors. The Sand & Surf collection takes my breath away. This layout is about my girl Luna on vacation. In summer, we have those long summer nights here in Norway. We get maybe one whole month with sunshine and warmth before fall sets in again, so we really appreciate it!

"Days Like This Are The Best", by Ann-Christin Larsen.

“Stop And Smell The Flowers”, by Ebony van der Starre.

I love to use white cardstock and then use gorgeous bright colors on top. I LOVED the gorgeous colors in the Sand & Surf collection, so that inspired the colors in my layout. I have created the background only using the awesome variety of designer tapes. I have used the pattern papers to cut different embellishments from and used the gorgeous stickers from the Miniature sticker sheets. I have created the frame using a journaling tag from the Love and Marriage Just Write Journaling Stickers.
