Happy Birthday Bella Blvd!!! I'm so excited to be a part of celebrating with the Company and the Team. I love seeing scrapbooking companies succeed. Bella Blvd is turning 12 and so is my daughter!!! So I knew right away I had to document and celebrate both birthdays today's post.
Today, I am documenting my daughter's special day using a 6x8 layout and a 6x4.5 protector with 2x2 pockets. I picked the 6x8 full-size layout pocket because I wanted it to be the focus. To create the celebratory feel I wanted, I used the Bella Blvd Birthday Candles Cut file in the Silhouette Store using three different pattern papers from the Wish Big collection. Of course, I cut 12 candles!
With my candles at the top of my page, I machine stitched across them and the Wish Big border sticker. The collection comes with die cuts of the lanterns (the round die cuts), but what is awesome is there is a full-size 12x12 paper with the same images. I was able to fussy cut some of those and use the die cuts to make that repetitive pattern throughout the layout and the pockets on the right. I matted my 2x3 photo with another favorite pattern paper from the collection called 123456789... I LOVE the numbers on this paper. Then I added a tab sticker and the 12 at the bottom. To finish this, I used the chipboard, GIRL, and typed my journaling on cardstock to trim and adhere within the design.
Looking through the photos from her special day, I had four more photos I wanted to document, and the perfect way to document them was with the 2x2 pockets. A great balance of the 6x8 layout with my favorite photo, and the other four photos to show more of her special day. I first start by selection my photos and placing them in a zig zag pattern in the pockets.
Next, I trim pieces from the pattern papers to fill the other pockets focusing on patterns and colors to create balance. Then add any other details using the stickers and die cuts from the Wish Big collection to finish.
Happy Birthday, Bella Blvd and to my daughter!!! The Wish Big collection is perfect for documenting celebrations. I hope this inspires you on how to documenting with pocket pages!
Beautiful work!
