Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Tiny Tots 2.0 & Time to Travel week - Day 1

Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying this summer! Here with the school holidays, we are keeping the kids busy the best we can which means the occasional dress-up day. And who says dress-up says mummy has her camera to the ready! In this post I am showing how versatile Tiny Tots 2.0 can be, let's have a look!

I love my little Sophia in her Belle's dress. She is so cute! And I was so lucky that she agreed to play along to a photoshoot while wearing her dress. I knew I wanted to use these photos for my Tiny Tots 2.0 project. The collections has a few florals and it also has yellow, red and green papers which I knew I would want to use.

You can't think of the Beauty and the Beast without thinking of the rose. I therefor decided to create a 3D rose out of the ABC's papers. I then cut out some leaves out of the You're A Star paper to accompany the rose. To mat my photographs, I used the yellow side of the Be Brave paper. The yellow matting really helps to link the layout with the color of her dress.

I then used a Bella BLVD cut-file from the Silhouette shop to create my title. With my Cricut I was able to add an offset layer underneath the title which I cut-out of the Bella Besties Heart and Ombre in Pink. The main cut-out was made out of plain white cardstock but I re-cut the center letter from the Ombre side of the Yellow Heart and Ombre paper. This helped to repeat again the yellow from the dress.

For my background I settled on the green Heart and Ombre paper. I felt that it was best fitting for the rose to rest on. If you see my process video though you will know that this was not my first choice and after sleeping on my original idea this was changed to this beautiful green!

The finishing touch came in the shape of some ladybirds as well as some flowers to create cluster around the rose and the photograph. A few extra words to add to my title and I was happy with the final result! The date stamped above the photographs balanced the only bit of black in the shape of my subtitle.

And there it is! We are far away from a baby or toddler layout and yet I was able to use several elements from the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. I love to use the colours of the papers to pull the story in a different direction than first intended!
