Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Time to Travel: Acrylics & Puffies Week- Day 4

Hello friends and happy summer! I hope you are enjoying some warm weather and getting into the groove of a new season. I'm back with another take at the Time To Travel collection. We took a trip to the North Georgia mountains for a camping weekend and I knew this collection would be perfect for some of my photos.

I started with a piece of 12" x 12" Bella Besties Graph and Dot paper in black. I used my Cricut machine to cut out nine scalloped frames with the graph side of the paper. These scalloped circles are 3" wide. Then, I used three 12" x 12" patterned papers from the Time To Travel collection - On The Go, Back Roads, and Love This Place. I used my Cricut again to cut out circles to go inside the scalloped frames. These circles are 2 1/2" in diameter. I made them smaller so there would be plenty of room for the cardstock to be seen. I did two circles for each patterned paper. That left me with three frames for my photos. Next, I took my scalloped frames, patterned paper circles, and photos and arranged them in grid fashion on a white piece of 12" x 12" cardstock.

Then I decided to put on my title because I knew I wanted to use the large "explore" acrylic. It fits perfectly and really makes a statement in the middle of the page. I stamped underneath the title.

What really makes the layout pop though is all the fabulous embellishment choices in the Time To Travel collection. I used foam tape to make several of them stand out from the page. I also layered others all around. I finished the layout but using my type writer to journal the story of the weekend.
