Bella Blvd Studio Blog: North Pole + Bella Besties

Hello to all Bella friends! It's me, Sarah, hosting today's blog post, and I'm excited to be back today with a my latest 12x12 layout inspired by the North Pole collection.

I felt inspired to create a wintery layout. Here's what I created:

I wanted to make it a photo-centric layout, so I kept my design clean and simple. I used three photos and embellished around it with Ephemera Icons and Bella Besties alphabet cardstock stickers.

How adorable is that snowman though?! I love that every Ephemera Icons pack is loaded with cute graphics. In the North Pole collection, there's snowmen, Santas, reindeers, presents, just to name a few. I also appreciate that there's embellishments catered to create just a wintery/snow play date project without it being Christmas-themed.

I scattered various snowflake die cuts from the Ephemera Icons on my layout. I jazzed up my project with puffy stickers.

Also, did you happen to notice how I dated my layout?! I remembered that Bella Besties work well with every Bella paper collection. I used some of the coordinating Florence alphabet stickers to fill in some of the white space on this layout. When in doubt, use Bella Bestie stickers and papers to finish off your projects!

I also love that Bella Blvd has an Ephemera Words embellishment pack that is loaded with various titles and phrases that can be used on all types of projects. I found "Winter" and "Wonderland" in the Ephemera Words die-cuts and layered them to create a title.

And that's it for now! I hope you enjoyed this wintery 12x12 layout using the North Pole collection. Hopefully, I've inspired you to create something coooooool *pun totally intended, haha*. Anyway, thanks for joining me, and thanks for letting me share my work!

Until next time,

Sarah.
