Explore and Play | Maree

Hi Bella friends,

Maree here to share a summery boy layout with you all.

I used an older collection called To the Moon and it was so perfect for an older picture of my son and all his buddies playing at a local playground.

I started out by cutting the triangle shapes from the Daily Details paper. Then I distressed the edges and sewed them to the page using my sewing machine.

I like to lift the edges up a little to show dimension. Then I added a few border stickers from the doohickey sticker sheet for added interest.

I knew I wanted to create a big title so I combined a Bella Blvd cut file, alphas and the Ciao Chip word 'Play'. I think it turned out so fun! I used a few stars shapes for extra embellishment as they really suit the theme. You can find the explore cut file in the Bella Silhouette Store here:

I embellished the top right corner of the picture with the fussy cut words "All Boy" from the Borders paper. And added some Ciao Chip and Epoxy to create a small cluster.

I finished off the page with some Ciao Chip pieces at the top, some epoxy stickers and a little white ink. I was really happy with how this turned out. I hope you are having a creative day!
