Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Summer Time Mini Album with Traci

Hi Bella friends! It's Traci, back with a new mini album to share with you! For this one, I used a combination of several fun, and oh so colorful, collections ... Splash Zone, Bella Besties, and Squeeze the Day.

I started with a white chipboard album by 49 & Market and I drew inspiration for the cover from the chipboard leaves, flowers, and the colorful stem of the pineapple. The striped paper from Squeeze the Day added the perfect "splash" of color to compliment these pieces.

One of my favorite things about Bella is that everything coordinates. On the page below, I used three different collections to create a fun pocket page ... the background is Bella Besties, the top of the pocket is a Plaid/Dotty print, and the bottom is from Splash Zone. (Gulf is my favorite Bella color! What's yours?)

Actually I lied. I have two favorite Bella colors, Gulf and Punch :)

There's that stripe again ... I need to get some more sheets of that paper! I absolutely love it, and doesn't it look great with all the fun embellies?

I always add pockets in my albums ... partly because I like extra space for tucking in photos and journaling, but also because it gives me an opportunity to use several patterns together. Hearts, and dots, and stripes, oh my! So much fun color :) !

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope I've inspired you to mix and match collections on your next project. Until next time, happy scrapping!
