Hi friends, Erika here! I hope you’re having a great week so far. I’m back, and I can’t wait to share my latest project using the brand-new *Caitlyn* collection from Bella Blvd. This collection's color scheme is so bright and cheerful that I immediately knew I had to use it to document the adorable bond between my 6-year-old and our cat—or should I say *her* cat? 😄
For this page, I wanted to go for something a bit funky and fresh. I started by taking strips from different colored papers and creating diamond shapes out of them. To make them pop, I stitched each diamond together using black thread for contrast. And because I love adding dimension, I mounted every other diamond on foam adhesive.
Right now, I’m really in my two-photos era so I stuck with that. While trends can be fun to follow, it’s also important to stick with what feels right for you! With all the color on the page, I needed something to ground it, so I added some black splatters in the background and mounted the whole layout on black patterned paper. The balance between the bright colors and the black accents really made the page come together.
Finally, I added a few clusters of embellishments and some heartfelt journaling to complete the layout. I had such a blast putting this page together and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
I hope this inspires you to dive into your own stash and try something new and different this week! Scrapbooking is all about experimenting and having fun, so don’t be afraid to mix it up.
Happy crafting!
