Hello there, friends! I'm so glad you stopped by today because this week at Bella headquarters, it's all about inspiration! I draw inspiration from so many different things in my life, but for this particular layout, I was lucky enough to work with some of the new sketches over at PageMaps! I really wanted to document my little ones second birthday, and this 8 1/2 x 11 sketch was perfect!
I knew I wanted to use the Wish Big: Boy Collection, so I set about picking the two main papers that I would use. I chose to follow the sketch pretty closely as far as where my patterned papers would be located, and I really love the way it turned out!
I felt like this layout was total color chaos, and I love it! I always stick to colors in threes, and it felt so good to change paces for a minute. I tied in just about every color in the Wish Big: Boy collection!
That really worked out perfectly for me because my photos had both red and green in them, which can be a little challenging to work with unless it's Christmas. I just tied in all the primary colors including teal, and I had no problem.

I hope you feel comfortable drawing inspiration from the world around you while you're creating, but if you are ever stumped, then PageMaps has got your back! xo Lydia |
