Hey there Bella Blvd friends and fans, Becki here. I know I've mentioned it before (a few times) but it's worth mentioning again. The thing I love the most about Bella Blvd products is that the colors always match and coordinate throughout all the collections. That makes creating with Bella Blvd products SO much easier. Knowing that the products will always coordinate makes creating so much fun and easier. I love spending my time creating, not trying to find products that coordinate. I created this layout with two of my favorite collections. One collection that is older (Color Chaos) and one newer collection (You are Loved).
Just before Christmas we had a quick snapshot taken of our little family. I decided to create a layout documenting some of the things that our family wants to do in 2017. I started by cutting a large cluster of hearts out of black cardstock. I filled the inside of each heart. Some of the hearts have patterned paper, some have clear cuts, and some have Invisibles. Each I added lots of pop dots to give each heart dimension. Some of the hearts have pop dots between the black cardstock and patterned paper, some have them between the patterned paper and the background.
I love the dimension and shadows that the pop dots give to the cluster of hearts. The second die cut I used was the "2017" portion of the title. I used patterned patterned paper with a black cardstock background. To add additional interest to the title I wrapped white crochet thread around a small section of each number.
After adding our family photo to the left of the hearts and the title below the photo, I typed the journaling on my vintage typewriter, cut them into small strips, and adhered them below the title.
Each member of our family has a strip of journaling with the answer to the statement "In 2017 I want to..." I love documenting the dreams and goals of our family at the beginning of the new year.
How do you mix your Bella Blvd collections? Try mixing and matching your favorite Bella Blvd collections to create a layout celebrating the new year and even your family's goals for 2017. Thank you for stopping by the Bella Blvd blog. I'll see you again soon!
