Tiny Tots 2.0 | Inessa Persekian

Hi friends, Inessa on the blog today sharing my first layout using the tiny tots 2.0 collection and how adorable is it ?!?

I love the cute animals in this collection, especially the elephant. I used that as my starting point for the layout and found this cute pic of my youngest (who is 7.5 now). Since his onesie has elephants in yellow, I decided to use blue and yellow as my prominent colors. The yellow background paper is Bella Besties Freehand Graph & Dot in Bell Pepper.

I added the blue boarder strip from the Borders paper and brought in a mix of hearts and stars in yellows, blues, orange and red to help move the eye around the page. These came from the Ephemera Icons pack as well as Ciao Chip. 

For the title, I used the word 'little' from Ciao Chip and fussy cut 'cutie' from the Daily Details paper. The final elements added was machine stitching across the border strip and around the page, plus a few sprinkles of Epoxy dots and heart. That Bella Bow in Saltwater completed the page. 

 

I hope you enjoyed this layout, it's quick and easy to recreate. I'm looking forward to creating more with this collection and showing just how versatile it is. Stay tuned for more inspo my friends! 

Cheers,

Inessa

Tiny Tots 2.0 Day 3 | Karlla Dauer

Hello Bella friends.

Karlla here and I'm so happy to share a new layout with you.

I love how Bella to bring joy to every collection. Tiny Tots 2.0 is fantastic.

For this layout I created 3 super circles for the base of my photos. each circle with a sewing detail. "Careful! Paper, ABCs Paper and Love you A Ton" create an incredible mix of prints. To highlight all these prints, I chose to use the "Play Date paper".

As the main detail of this layout, I used "Cut Outs" lined with "Sidekick" paper.

I love this style of thick stripes and vibrant colors.

To bring more fun, I added several embellishments in different dimensions of "Bella Pops, Epoxy Stickers, Puffy Stickers, Chipboard Stickers and Ephemera".

To finish, I added at the top of the layout the title with "Aria Alphabet - McIntosh".

I think this alphabet is super fun.

Hope I have inspired you with this project.

Looking forward to seeing your creations with the beautiful Tiny Tots 2.0 Collection.

Thanks for stopping here today.

Tiny Tots 2.0 Day 1 | Sarah

Hello to all Bella friends! Happy Tuesday! It's me Sarah (@redoaklines) back on the blog, and I'm excited to be sharing a layout that I created using one of the newest Bella collections. I'm delivering you some scrappy, crafty goodness featuring the oh-so-cute Tiny Tots 2.0.

Here's what I came up with:

When I first saw this release, I was so giddy to get my hands on it. I have twin girls that are now seven, and you bet I have too many photos of them from when they were babies/toddlers that haven't been put into a scrapbook yet. So guilty! This Tiny Tots 2.0 collection gives me the perfect opportunity to get it done.

The icons in this collection are adorable. It works for all ages, boy or girl. There are dinosaurs, whales, cats, dogs, zoo animals, just to name a few. I wanted to use the cute little bumblebee and the ladybug to incorporate my title, "Love Bugs". The bumblebee and ladybug are both Bella Pops from the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection! So adorable!

I used Florence Alphabet stickers in colors that matched the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection. I placed them around my doodled circle to help complete the circular frame. Again, look at how cute that bee is! Perfect for a "love bug" layout, right?! 

To embellish my layout, I fussy cut some coordinating flowers and scattered them onto my page. I also used a handful of Bella Besties trinkets.

Lastly, I used some leftover scrap papers to create paper pennants. Sometimes, those little scraps don't have to get tossed in the trash. They make a great addition to any project.

That's all I have for now. Hopefully I have inspired you to create something beautiful today. As always, thanks for letting me share my work with you today, and thanks for following along. Use #bellablvd or #bellablvdllc to tag us on social media if you use Bella products.

Until next time,

Sarah.

Tiny Tots 2.0 - Day 1 | Laura Alberts

Hello friends! Laura Alberts here with a fun multi-photo grid layout! I wanted to challenge myself to think outside the theme with the Tiny Tots 2.0 collection, so I'm scrapbooking a trip to the Safari Park instead! It's a perfect match with these adorable little animals.

I started with the lovely Be Brave patterned paper, layered it with the My #1 patterned paper, and then added white card stock. Then, my 2x2 inch photos are alternated with 2x2 inch squares of Watch Out patterned paper. I also matted my larger 4x4 inch photo with that beautiful stripe as well.

I used a pen to outline all of the squares and the grid's mat. This gave each square a little bit of definition. On the blue squares, I layered the Play Date patterned paper and mixed Ciao Chip critters with ephemera icon animals to create these adorable clusters. 

To add a little bit of interest, I added some Cuteness epoxy stars to my critter clusters as well. One of my favorite parts of this layout though is that I used a picture of the sign for the Safari Park as my title! Such a cool detail!

To finish it off, I added some tiny stars cut from the border strips on the Doohickey stickers. Love that tiny detailing on the squares with clusters! With a few little drops of black Nuvo Drops around my clusters, this layout was complete. Such a fun design to squeeze in seven photos!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you found some inspiration for stepping outside the theme with this fantastic collection. You don't have to scrap baby photos with Tiny Tots 2.0!

Mother's Day Is Coming! | Emilie Chamel

Hi Friends! Emilie here to share with you a project dedicated to Mother's Day! I hope this will inspire you to celebrate all the mothers around the world!

To get started, I rummaged through all the Bella Blvd collections I have at home. I wanted to use something fitting all the while unexpected. Squeeze the day jumped at me! With all its hearts I knew I would be able to make it work while the fruity vibes would give my layout some zest.

 

My biggest challenge was with which photos to scrap! The photos of Sophia and me together are few or ones that I'd rather have remain only for the family as I am currently not the most comfortable in front of a camera. I opted with older images which reflect two of my favorite things about being her mum: the cuddles and the fun!

I loved playing with layering and clustering on this layout!

 

Even by taking a collection out of its context, you can make the words work for you by bending their meaning. Here a summer adventure becomes the adventure of a lifetime!

Mixing different fonts is always a great idea if you want to make an impact on a layout!

By layering ephemeras and patterned papers and sewing together, you create your own homemade embellishment! So much texture!

I had to much fun creating this layout! Thank you so much for reading and please do not hesitate to ask any question!

Emilie xx

Time to Travel Cut Outs | Erica Thompson

Hello friends! Erica here with you today to share a layout using the Time to Travel collection and the new I Love Travel Cut Out!

Cut Outs are made from thick smooth white cardstock and come with a cutting template. They are perfect if you love cut files but do not have an electronic cutting machine or if you are going to a crop! I backed the Family Trip title cut out included in the I Love Travel pack. 

I used different pattern papers from the collection and one of the Bella Besties papers to back the file and adhered it in the center of a piece of white cardstock. 

My photos are from one of our trips to Texas when the kids were younger and I printed them out in black and white. I placed the photos above the cut file and matted them onto some Bella Besties pattern paper in Cotton Candy.

I had some leftover fussy cut flowers from my previous layout that I wanted to use on this layout so I created a few different embellishment clusters around the page. The cactus die cuts were perfect for this layout since we were in Texas and we saw it everywhere! 

To help frame my layout I added strips of pattern paper to the top and bottom of my layout that I had ran through a border punch. 

I love creating with this collection! I had so much fun putting this layout together and working with the new I Love Travel Cut Outs! The last thing I did was create a cluster in the bottom right corner of my layout using die cuts, puffy stickers and epoxy from the Time to Travel collection. 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Bella blog today and I hope I have inspired you to create using the new I Love Travel Cut Outs!

Time to Travel & Cut Outs Day 2 | Virginia

Hello! Virginia here sharing a page combining the fun Time to Travel collection and Sweet Girl Cut-Outs. I love travelling to new vacation destinations and as amazing as it is to experience new cultures and foods there is a little part of me that always looks forward to returning home. Perhaps this is a sign that I've had a really good time away and the anticipation to snuggles with my fur-baby and nose boops are the best welcome home moments!

 

I used the 'GIRL' word from the Sweet Girl Cut-Out set. The large scale of the letters is great to highlight fun patterned papers. The inside of the 'R' was perfect to include my journaling spot. The title is simply the airport codes spelled with black letters.

I created an offset pattern of rainbow strips as a backdrop to little airplane icons that were fussy cut out from patterned paper. Bella dots and puffy stickers were added for fun accents.

 

Thanks for dropping by, have a great day!

Time to Travel + Cut-Outs | Day 1 | Ashley Neu

Hi all! It's Ashley here to share day 1 of the Time to Travel collection with a focus on Cut-Outs. For this layout, I used the I Heart Travel from the I Love Travel Cut-Outs. I loved that it was a large piece that would take care of the title for my layout. 

Instead of using the templates that are included with the Cut-Outs, I simply traced the inside of each letter on different patterned papers, only using the same patterns twice. I attached the Cut-Out to a Bella Bestie Hearts and Ombre paper in Blueberry that was matted on a white and black diagonal strips patterned paper. For the inner pieces of the Cut-Out, I popped them up with foam adhesive to give some awesome dimension.

 

 

The next step in the process was attaching my photos. These photos are from our trip to Mount Rushmore and I wanted to document the car ride there. I scattered the photos around the Cut-Out, tucking them under the pattered letters. I added some splatters using watered down white acrylic paint around the layout. I should have done this before adhering the photos but I carefully covered the photos which worked out just fine!

 

 

For the embellishing part, I fussy cut these lovely florals from a patterned paper in the collection and placed them next to each of the photos. I also took the 'I Heart Travel' letters from the Puffy Stickers and adhered them to each letter. I love the fun play they add to the title!

 

 

I hope you enjoyed reading the process for putting together this travel layout. Thank you so much for stopping by!
