Lake Life & Besties Cards | Stephanie Buice

Hi everyone! Steph B here today, sharing some cards I created for this week's assignment. This time around we were asked to create projects using Bella Besties, Lake Life, Letter Scrambles and to focus on the color green, I hope you like what I came up with!

For my first card I used paper strips to create the background, and then built on top of that. I mixed a few ephemera pieces, and the arrow Doohickey sticker, then finished it off with some Blueberry Letter Scrambles.

My second card was one that I think could make a great and easy go-to template for any occasion. I simply trimmed three paper strips of differing widths into tags, added my greeting and a little ephemera piece to finish it off. The possibilities with this one are endless!

My third and final card was one of my favorites of the three. I love how easily this one came together with a few fussy cut flowers and butterflies. I used the "Friends" ephemera piece and Letter Scrambles stickers for the sentiment, and it came together rather quickly once I had a based figured out.

I hope you like my cards and decided to give some a try for yourself!

Have a great week,

Stephanie B

Guys Will Be Guys Mini Album | Teen Vibe Carson Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! It's Tara with Secretbees Studio with a new project to share with you! This is my first creation with the new Teen Vibe Carson collection and it's amazing!

This mini album will not only hold great photos of your teen boy but it will also look great as shelf or desk decor! I created the easel itself from sturdy card stock and then made four pages to go along with it. Each of the pages was covered in the fabulous patterned paper of the collection and then totally decked out with all of the awesome embellishments! The cover of the album is made from the Stars Clear Cuts acetate that is included in the collection.

Each page has a side tab for easier flipping and features a spot for a photo in a mixture of sizes. The icons and ephemera were layered together with lots of the multicolored epoxy stars and dots of the collection!

 

The icons and ephemera of this collection are perfect for so many stages of a boys life! You have sports, trucks, games, fashion and of course food. I had so much fun designing these pages and adding all of the fabulous stickers, chipboard, icons and ephemera! If you are in the market for a teen boy collection, look no further- this one has it all!

Gamer | Teen Vibe Carson Collection | Scrapbook Layout | Yvette Weber

 

Yvette is here today, and I'm thrilled to share my first layout using the vibrant and fun Teen Vibe Carson collection! This collection, with its lively color palette and charming embellishments, is not just inspiring but also a personal favorite. It's a joy to work with and perfect for highlighting the remarkable guys in our lives. As part of this week's assignment, we were asked to include more than two photos using the Carson collection. I used three fun photos that captured my son enjoying his game time, adding a personal touch to the layout!

 

 

I had so much fun cutting out circles of all different sizes from the Let's Talk, Limited Edition, Athletic, Streaming, and Control Freak patterned papers. Then, to make my photos stand out, I cut three large circles at 3 3/4 inches and added some lovely hand-stitching around the edges. I also cut three smaller circles at 3 inches and stacked them together before placing them horizontally across my pages.

 

 

I then arranged all the circles diagonally across the page, starting from the top left corner and ending at the bottom right corner. This creates a visually striking layout that guides the viewer's eye from the title to the photos, ensuring that each element of the layout is seen and appreciated!

 

 

The puffy sticker phrase' Food Screen Sleep Repeat' perfectly captures the essence of my son's favorite pastimes, and I thought it would be a fun and relatable title for this layout.

 

 

I added a few more elements around the page and completed it with black paint splatters and small punch stars. The overall result is perfect.

 

 

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today. I truly appreciate your time and hope you enjoyed my latest page. I hope it inspired you to scrapbook and create your own unique layouts.

Yvette xoxo

Teen Vibe Caitlyn Scrapbook Layout | Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Erica here to share my first 12x12 scrapbook layout using the Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection!

I am so in love with this new collection! I love the pops of black and the florals! This collection can be used for more than just a teen which I also love! I decided to create a layout to document my skateboard loving niece!

I found a super cute cut file from The Cut Shoppe that I thought would be perfect with my photos and this collection. I cut the file out with some black textured cardstock to help the colors in the collection pop even more. 

I backed the file with different pattern papers from the Caitlyn collection. Once the file was backed I added foam adhesive all over the back and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed down to 11x11. Next I added a piece of black cardstock that is sized to 11.25x11.25 and then matted onto the 12x12 Glam pattern paper. 

I added my photos around the layout and created some embellishment clusters around each photo. I used the Epic title piece under one of the photos along with one of the Doohickey stickers. To finish off the layout I added my journaling and a few enamel stickers. 

Super colorful and I just love how it turned out! Another page for my nieces scrapbook! Thanks so much for stopping by the Bella Blog today!

All The Girl Stuff | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! Tara with Secretbees Studio here with an adorable project featuring the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection! If you have a collection like this one with so many fabulous icons, embellishments and patterned papers, the best way to show everything off is to create a pocket letter!

I used a pocket page that has nine 3x4 pockets, combining the two at the top as one. I picked out just a few of the pretty papers that featured mostly light pink tones and cut them to size. For a bit of flair, I added a single black paper to the center and added in a few black touches throughout the rest of the page. A mixture of ephemera, words and stickers were layered onto the pockets and accented with heart and flower epoxy stickers!

Of course, one of the pockets is filled with shiny sequins and another features an actual pocket that is stuffed with two amazing Bella Pops. For even more shine, I added some glittery card stock to two of the pockets and layered in more silver and pink sequins too! It was so hard to choose the embellishments for the tops of the pockets, but I knew no matter which ones I decided on, it would be a beautiful pocket page!

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Hope I inspired some creativity!

Kid's Birthday Layout with Teen Vibe Caitlyn

Hi friends! I hope you're all doing well. I’m excited to share a new 12x12 scrapbook page I made using the *Caitlyn* collection by Bella Blvd. If you’re looking for the perfect collection to document anything girl-related, this is it! The bright and fun colors were exactly what I needed to capture the special bond between my kiddo and her BFF. These two have been inseparable since they met as babies, and they make it a point to celebrate each other’s birthdays every year. Watching their friendship grow has been such a joy, and I knew I had to document one of their birthday moments.

For the layout, I decided to go with a color-blocked design—especially since I’m a sucker for anything rainbow-themed! I created shaker-style frame squares using the striped acetate sheet for the largest 3x3 squares in the center. For the smaller squares on the outside, I used them to frame my 2x2 photos. This added some fun dimension to the page while keeping the tone playful and light.

To keep the whole layout feeling airy, I added colorful splatters in the background, which really brought the page to life. I finished things off with a fun title mounted on foam adhesive, a few embellishments, and some heartfelt handwritten journaling. Of course, no page is complete without a date stamp, and I love how it all came together.

I usually like to back my pages with contrasting paper for that extra pop, and I’m so happy with how this one turned out. I hope this inspires you to create something special today. Remember, scrapbooking is all about capturing the moments that matter most.

Happy crafting!

My Girl Scrapbook Layout | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection

Hey friends! Brianna Lepper here today and I'm so HAPPY to share a fun layout with you today using the brand new, Caitlyn collection.  This collection is bright and beautiful with some gorgeous pops of black and I love it! Here's my page: 

I chose to use a piece of white cardstock as my base because I wanted the patterned papers to really stand out on this page.  I layered up the following papers, Glam (B side), Skincare (B side) and Chatterbox. I also wanted to include a tiny bit of mixed media, so I ink blended on a few Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Mustard, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry.

Next, I chose some floral pieces from the Ephemera Icons pack and arranged them around my photo.  The pops of black throughout the collection really make everything pop! Especially on top of the ink blended background.  It's all so fun and pretty!

For my title, I chose the word 'girl' from the Ciao Chip Chipboard sticker sheet and added onto it using some Florence Alphas in black.

I embellished using a few more Ephemera Icons and Ciao Chip stickers. The flowers with the happy faces? So adorable!! For a finishing touch, I sprinkled in a few of the Big Heart Epoxy stickers.

Here's one last look at this sweet page: 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you next time friends!

Using the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! It's my first layout using the super cool new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection and again I decided to think outside of the box and use it in a less-teenified way! I was actually inspired by all the cosmetic and makeup elements that are part of the collection so decided to document my first career which was in Beauty Therapy and the skincare industry. 

I knew I had to feature that Kissy Lips paper so gutted it to leave a 1" frame, then stuck a 10½" white card square to that, with the edges distressed of course! Then I built up six different pink and red patterned paper layers to go behind my two photos and stuck them all down to the centre of the white card. 

I mounted my two photos using the other side of the Kissy Lips paper as it was black and thought this would help them pop from the background. 

Next was to create the embellishment cluster which I wanted to run horizontally along the bottom of my photos. I used flowers and cosmetic elements from the Ephemera Icons, along with some Puffy Stickers and Epoxy Stickers. And I just had to use that fun Bella-pops Sticker set of the perfume bottle and lipstick! 

I kept my title simple using 'memories' from the Ephemera Words which I raised on foam pads, and then added my journaling below that. Now, I actually ran out of room for it so added a tag from the Ephemera Words which I just tucked behind my photos and this allowed me to finish off the journaling. Note to self next time.... draw in longer lines to journal on! 

I hope you have enjoyed my first layout using the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn collection. It's obviously just perfect for those teens in your life or use it like I did and get creative! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Have Fun Smart Girl 12X 12 Layout by Conny

Hey Crafty Friends!

It's Conny here, and today I want to share about the Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection. Even though Savanna is not quite a teenager yet, I found that this collection is perfect for documenting her at 6 years old. This weekend, we visited a charming café, and Savanna was dressed in a bright outfit that matched the colors of the collection perfectly. Of course, we took some adorable family photos during our outing.

I began by printing out two photos and mounting them on green patterned cardstock from the collection, using the reverse side of the borders to create a nice outline around the photos. I then cut out two 3" x 4" cards and embellished them with Just Have Fun Icons, florals, and a few other decorative elements.

I selected the Girl card from the 12 x 12 daily details for the second card. After cutting it, I glued it to the 3x4 card. To enhance the look, I embellished it with some beautiful flowers, ephemera icons, and meaningful words. Furthermore, I trimmed the white textured cardstock to 8.5x12 inches and embellished it by adding an inch of floral paper (Glam) to both the top and bottom of the white textured cardstock. After cutting out the piece, I carefully positioned it on the pink cardstock, making sure there was approximately 1 1/4 inches of space at the top and 2 inches at the bottom. If you prefer a more centered look, feel free to adjust the positioning until you're satisfied with the placement.

I carefully arranged the 3x4 cards and photos on the White Texture Cardstock, placing them slightly staggered to create a visually appealing layout. Additionally, I incorporated the Too Cute Bella Pops and a selection of floral elements on the left side of the layout to enhance the overall design.

Love this collection its so bright and fun. we can't wait to see what you create. Xo Conny!
