Hi friends, it's Dorymar! Today, I'm excited to share a colorful summer project with you. As you know, Bella Blvd offers a fantastic variety of products, and I’m showcasing an 8.5 x 11 layout featuring the June papers from the My Life 365 collection, beautifully combined with the Bella Besties and Luna Alphas.
For my layout, I used the June paper as the base and placed a sheet of white cardstock on top. I then created some splashes with a little blue ink for added texture. To build my layers, I incorporated papers from the Bella Besties Graph & Dot collection, specifically Bell Pepper, and Gulf paper matches with the Summer Picnics paper.
Since this is a summer layout, I wanted to simulate waves. I achieved this by using a 1" circle punch to cut out circles, then I cut approximately 2" strips from the graph paper and inked the edges for a finished look. I applied these strips using foam tape to add dimension.
At the bottom of the layout, I cut a 2.5" x 7.75" piece of Bell Pepper paper and distressed the edges. For the title, I used letters from the Luna Alphas Ice pack to spell out "Summer Days."
I incorporated a 4" x 3" photo, which I mounted onto a 4.25" x 3.25" white cardstock mat. Finally, I created a beautiful cluster using several pieces from the ephemera pack.
The goal of my project was to simulate a seaside scene, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out! I hope you love it as much as I do and that it inspires you to create something similar. The My Life 365 collection provides countless options to document your summer photos and memories throughout the year.
Happy crafting!
