Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Merry Little Christmas and Letter Scramble with Maree Crozier

Hi Bella friends,

I had so much fun making this cute Christmas layout with the new Merry Little Christmas collection and personalizing the title with some fabulous Letter Scramble alphas.

I started with a cream card stock base as the ephemera from this collection has a cream undertone. I just adore the pinks and teals in this collection, they are so pretty.

As soon as I saw the paper called 'Filled with Joy' I knew I wanted to fussy cute those ornaments and make them a feature on this layout. I also fussy the holly from the 'Borders' paper to make a little mantel for them to hang from. I dug into my stash for a holly stamp to add a little more detail under the holly border.

After mounting my picture of my daughter and our two kitties I added my title using the 'Merry' from the words ephemera and the Catsmas (is that even a word?) using the Letter Scramble alphas in the color Guacamole. It is so fun to create titles with these gorgeous alphas.

Next I worked on positioning and mounting the fussy cut ornaments. I mounted them on foam squares and attached some bakers twine so they appear hanging. I tucked the top of the twine up under the holly border.

Next I added some trees from the ephemera icons pack and added some detail to them using the beautiful epoxy stickers. I just love the shine they add to the layout.

Finally I added the sweet sleigh from the icon ephemera pack and the Bella Pop called 'Christmas Cheer'. I just adore this little Santa, is he not he cutest you have ever seen? The gifts and pink snowflakes from the Bella Pop gave the perfect finishing touch. I am so happy with how this layout turned out and am excited to see what you make with the new collection.
