Bella Blvd Studio Blog: On-Going Guest Designer: Brook Stewart and Ann-Christin Larsen

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.

“Your First Pig Tails”, by Brook Stewart.

I was finally able to put my baby girl's hair in pig tails (it was long enough months ago, but she just hates it when I mess with her hair)! On this layout I just had fun mixing lines and colors and I'm just loving that extra pop of black against the softer colors. For my heart element, I cut out a piece of cardstock in the shape of a heart, glued a feather on top then cut out the feather along the edges of a heart. I love how it turned out!

Supplies:

“Team Spirit”, by Brook Stewart.

It's baseball season around here and the All American Line goes perfect with our team colors! I especially love how the freestyle paper in McIntosh reminds me of the baseball stitching!

"Party", by Ann-Christin Larsen.

I wanted to make a fun layout. Even though I wasn’t going to get married (have been for 11 years lol), the engaged collection was perfect for that playful twist.

Supplies:
Engaged at Last: Chipboard Icons, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Sand & Surf: Cute Cuts, Just Write Journaling Stickers; Love and Marriage: Alpha+Bits Stickers; Ciao Chip Elements: Borders

"Remember This Girl", by Ann-Christin Larsen.

This picture called out to me. I just love those special angles in a photo! My girl Luna jumped up and down and it was not easy to take a steady picture. I think this one was sooo funny!
