Bella Blvd Studio Blog: December Guest Designer: Céline Navarro

We are so excited to introduce you to our talented November Guest Designer, Céline Navarro! Let's get to know a little more about Céline and check out the projects she created to share with us!

Hello! My name is Céline Navarro and I am very happy and excited to be Bella Blvd guest this month! I am a 32-year-old full time Scrapbook & Mixed Media teacher, designer, photographer, blogger and globe-trotter who has been addicted to arts & crafts ever since I was born! I'm the CEO of {entreARTistes}magazine, a quaterly Scrapbook publication, and www.entreartistes.fr, a community with its eshop and online education program.

Let me tell you a little bit more about each layout I made with the awesome Bella Blvd I received:

"Can’t Live Far From The Beach", by Céline Navarro.

I was born, been raised and have always lived in the South of France (except one year in Montreal, Canada, back in 2004). Imagine olive trees, lavenders, wine and the Mediterranean Sea: that’s where I live! So that means I can’t live far from the beach! I love how colorful the Bella Blvd products are and I was so inspired by these products to create this fun and beach-themed layou ! I simply used 4 different 4x6 inches rectangles to create the design on this layout: 2 vertical photos and 2 pieces of patterned papers. Add some embellishments, mists, drops of inks, and cool chipboards and your layout screams SUMMER!

"Snap Happy", by Céline Navarro.

I decided to do kind of the same design for this one, minus the ink work. You can definitely use the Bella Blvd 4x6 or 3x4 journaling cards to create this graphic design for sure!

"About Me", by Céline Navarro.

I’ve been asking myself a lot of questions concerning the directions I want to take for this new year, about my personnal and professionnal life. Not easy choices, scary ones, easy ones, but I thought it would be fun to write those questions on a layout. I worked with a tiny bit of digital for this layout, using a Photoshop brush on my photo ad then printed the photo on a white cardstock. I then added some Bella Blvd papers, embellishments, chipboards and had fun!

"Vacation Together", by Céline Navarro.

For this layout, I thought I would deserve a tiny bit more MESS on my layout! Once my papers were glued, I layered a tiny bit of gesso and after it was dry, I added a bit of water and mists and created this satured but yet soft watercolor look! Some bold chipboards to add contrasts and voilà!
