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!

Cut a rectangle measuring 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 on the Girl Squad paper and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of your card. 

 

 

Die cut or machine cut a heart design on the Daily Details backer paper and then add some foam tape to the back and adhere it the center of your card. 

 

Pick out three Ephemera Icons and adhere them to the center of your heart. I used foam tape on all three of the images. If that is too much dimension for you use liquid glue. 

 

This collection is full of amazing sentiments/sayings let's pick one from the new Caitlyn Ciao Chip board. I added foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card. 

 

 

Finishing with a few of those pretty Big Heart Epoxy dots. This gives my card a little shine and more pink... which I love and I hope you do too.

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!
Xo, Bri

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!

Girly Pet 12x12 Scrapbooking Layout with Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection

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!

Making Memories | Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection | Tara Chaussee

Hi everyone! Tara here with Secretbees Studio and I have the sweetest mini album to share with you that I created using the new Teen Vibe Caitlyn Collection! This collection has the most adorable ephemera and I was especially inspired by the super cute Instax camera that is part of the ephemera icons pack. I knew instantly that I wanted to create a mini album based on this camera!

I used a cut file that I found on Etsy and modified it to look like the ephemera camera. I cut the front pieces from all of the pretty patterned papers of the collection and mounted them on heavy card stock for stability and then layered more of the charming ephemera pieces on top. I tucked in and added a few shiny and colorful epoxy stickers as well!

The camera is 1.25 " wide which leaves plenty of room for lots of goodies to go inside! I made them in varying lengths so they could all peek out of the camera just a bit! Some of the pieces are frames and some are interactive and open up or flip to reveal photo spots! All in all this amazing mini can hold at least 20 photos!

The SVG file I used was just one piece and flat but I cut both a front and back cover and them made a long strip of card stock to connect the two. It was an easy project and just think of how many teenage girls you could make happy with a mini like this! 

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Be sure and check out my Instagram page soon for a walkthrough video of all of the pieces inside this adorable mini album!

School is Cool Scrapbook Layout l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! My assignment was to use the fun School is Cool collection so decided to use it in a non-school type of way! I have been wanting to use the cute Bella-pops Wise Owl sticker for ages and as there are lots of other owls in the collection I decided to document about my growing owl collection! 

I cut a 10½" piece of the Wise One patterned paper and distressed the edges and stuck to the centre of a piece of white cardstock. Then I cut an 11" piece of the Paperclips paper, sprayed the edges lightly with water (not too wet!) and rolled and tore the edges to get a really distressed look. Once dry I stuck over the other patterned paper square. 

I mounted three photos using the School Supplies patterned paper (orange dots) and distressed the edges and then stuck down in a vertical design using foam pads. 

Then the fun bit which is adding all the embellishments! I picked out various sized owls and other appropriate elements in mainly orange, yellow and blue tones from the Ephemera Icons, Puffy Stickers and Epoxy Stickers to create three clusters around my photos. And of course I finally got to use that super cute owl! 

I added a title in black using the Letter Scramble alphabet stickers and finished off with my journaling.  

Last thing was a few paint splatters in white and some wonky black cross-stitches around each edge. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you like my latest layout and feel inspired to use the School is Cool collection in a slightly different way!

School Is Cool | Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Erica here with you today sharing a layout using the School Is Cool collection!

I loved the crayons in this cut file and I knew the 12x12 Coloring Pattern Paper would be perfect to back them! I backed each crayon with a different color strip from the 12x12 paper. 

I backed the rest of the cut file with pattern papers from the School Is Cool collection and then backed the two letter O's in the word COOL with my photos. 

Once the cut file was backed I added foam adhesive all over the back of the backed cut file and then trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 11.50x11.50. I matted the white cardstock to the 12x12 Supply List Pattern Paper. Next I adhered the cut file to the center of the page and started to embellish around the layout. 

I added some ephemera icons around the page and used one of the ephemera titles under one of the photos! I love how this layout turned out! Super simple but so colorful! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Bella Blvd. Blog today!
