Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Inspiration Week: Max Collection

We hope you're ready to be inspired! We have a handful of never-before-seen projects left to share with you, all featured in our CHA Winter booth display, during our last "Inspiration Week" feature. The new collections have already begun shipping out to stores and online retailers, so you should start seeing them pop up on shelves any day now (if you haven't already!). We hope that you'll be inspired by the projects our Design Team worked so hard creating with all of the new collections and products.

“My Little Boy”, by Katie Rose.

I just had to use pictures of my Max with the Max Collection :) The B side of the Borders patterned paper is one of my favorite pieces in this collection. I hand cut several of the arrows and used them to point to my pictures. And I just love all the sweet little boy saying on the stickers.

Supplies:
Max: Text Me, Rock Star, Borders, Shark Attack, Paper Pieces, Treasure & Text

“The Joys of Boys”, by Brook Stewart.

When I saw those army guys in the Max collection, I knew the exact photo I was going to use...My oldest boy is currently obsessed with war history of any kind. We went to a local army surplus store and he walked out with several things including a helmet and camo shirt...younger brother got a shirt as well. I just love this photo and when I ran a vintage action, it totally completed the look! No doubt I could not have picked any more perfect papers to tell this story!

Supplies:
Max: Text Me, That's My Boy, Borders, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Paper Pieces; Designer Tape: Grey Dot

“I Love This Guy So Much”, by Stephanie Buice.

When I think of scrapbooking pictures of my son the colors and patterns of Bella's Max Collection are exactly what I have in mind. I like the fact that they are boy and not baby boy colors, they could totally be used for boys of all ages. This layout is of one of my favorite pictures of my son and I, the phrase stickers on the Trinkets sticker sheet couldn't be more perfect, the "He owns my heart" sticker I mean come on...perfection! I used the coordinating Paper Pieces pack and many of the Candid cards pack as well, I love how easy they make it to add that extra little touch to your pages. I can't say enough about this awesome collection.

Supplies:
Max: Shark Attack, Rock Star, Borders, Paper Pieces, Candid Cards, Trinkets; Ciao Chips Elements: Stars & Hearts; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Pickle Juice, Ice; Designer Tapes: Navy Dot, Chlorine Dot

Max altered frame, by Jennifer Chapin.

This was such a fun project to make! I started with a large frame that was actually made for an advent calendar; I do keep this in my kitchen year round and change it with the seasons. I created a variety of different hang tags with the Candid Cards and Paper Pieces from the Max line. I made sure to use lots of dimensional adhesive to make everything pop.

Supplies:
Max: Sketchbook, Rock Star, Science Fair, That’s my Boy, Text Me, Borders, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Paper Pieces, Candid Cards; High Five Alphabets: Black-White; Ciao Chip Elements: Stars & Hearts
