Bella Blvd Studio Blog: EiEiO with Bella Besties

Hello! It's Sarah Millerhouse here, and I am excited to share a layout with you featuring the beautiful EiEiO collection paired up with Bella Besties!

For this layout, I started with a piece of patterned paper from the EiEiO collection for the background! I loved the subtle hexagons on that white background. I added gesso all the way across the middle section on the layout, and then I added a rainbow of mixed media on top of that. I knew I wanted to highlight the colors in my photos, along with all the beautiful colors in the collection, and a rainbow was the best way to do that!

Next I added several strips of patterned paper across the middle of the layout at an angle. This was a great way to highlight the placement of my photos and draw your eye to those! I layered a few tags from the Ephemera Words set in the collection behind my photos and added ribbon to those. I also attached a couple of tabs from that same set on either side of my photos.

Above my photos, I added the Sunrise Bella Blvd Cutfile to highlight what a beautiful sunny day we had in Jamaica! I cut both the cutfile and an offset layer (that I created using the Offset tool in the Cricut Design software) so that my sun had more pizazz! I distressed the edges of each sun ray and also added hand-stitching and Pops of Color to really make it shine!

Beside the sun, I added a couple of clouds that I cut out from the Rainbow Bella Blvd Cutfile and added Pops of Color to some of the dots on the patterned paper.

For my title, I started with Ciao Chip letters from the EiEiO collection and the "Memories" Acrylic Word from Bella Blvd above my photos.

Below the photos, I finished the title with Aria Alphabet letters in Bell Pepper and Guacamole and words from the EiEiO Ephemera Word set. I added some Puffy Hearts stickers and a few more Pops of Color to finish off the layout! I loved creating this layout, and I hope it inspires you in some way!
