Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Bella Blvd & Illustrated Faith With Stephanie

"Your Love Is Wild", by Stephanie Buice.

Hi everyone! Steph Buice here today to share my new layout I did using the new Illustrated Faith You Are Loved Collection (Ships in October). I have been staring at in on my desk for the past week and a half just dying to dig into it and make something.

I have been listening to the song "Pieces" from Bethel Worship pretty much on repeat lately, the lyrics are kinda perfect! And although the chorus is my favorite part, I think this verse stands out just as much. "Your love is wild, your love is wild for me." The song starts out like this: "Unreserved, unrestrained, your love is wild, your love is wild for me." The entire song talks about God's love for us and I am in LOVE with it.

So although at first glance you may look at my layout and think that it's about my son's crazy love for me, it's not at all. It's about God's love for me, and I know that Brady was one of the best gifts and desires of my heart that He gave to me. There so now you have a bit of back story lol.

I love so many of the papers in the new collection, but I limited myself to just using a few. I layered two of the border strips along the bottom and stapled them down.

I used a mix of Chip Script words and Tiny Text Alphas to make the title, I left it all white for a cleaner look.

I added in a bit of fringed vellum along the top and tucked it into the paper along the top.

I feel like I've scrapped this picture a few times lately, but I thing that they've been for other things like trade shows, I wanted it finally documented for my own album.

For my layouts I usually print out my journaling, but this time I decided to be true to me and use my own handwriting. Even though I'm never really a fan of my own writing I figured that it would be more personal in this instance so I don't mind it too much.

I hope you've enjoyed my share for today and that you'll take a few minutes to give that song a listen, the words are simply beautiful. Thanks for stopping by!
