Happy July friends! July is such a great month. Of course, here in America we are thinking all things red, white, and blue as we begin to celebrate our countries' birthday! Just last week we picked up our Old Navy t-shirts for the 4th and so I took some pics of my boys. Bella Blvd's Fireworks & Freedom collection is perfect for celebrating all things patriotic!
I started with a piece of white cardstock as my base. I took out the Bella Besties Graph and Dot paper in the color McIntosh and cut a 4" X 12" inch strip. I adhered it to the left side of the cardstock. I added more layers on top of it by using the Borders 12" x 12" patterned paper from the collection. I cut two of the borders and added them on top of the red graph paper. I finished off that side of the paper with a thin piece of black cardstock and some lines using my favorite black pen.
I added three photos on top of my layered papers. Love these faces! Next, I used the Bella Blvd Florence Alphas to create my title. These stickers are a must have! I used three colors - Black, Blueberry and McIntosh. I then used some of my favorite stitch stamps in between each section of the title. I also stamped stars of various sizes around the white cardstock.
I really love all the embellishments in this Fireworks and Freedom collection, but my favorite has to be the acrylic shapes (patriotic stars). I also used the Ciao Chip, the Ephemera Icons, and the Ephemera Words to add different clusters of embellishments around the page.
And there ya have it - a quick and easy layout that says I love my country and my boys! Thanks for stopping by today. Check out the list of products I used.
