My Candy Girl + Hearts & Ombre Week Day 2 | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Hearts & Ombre and My Candy Girl collection. I also used one Bella Cut File.

I usually use a white cardstock as the base of my layouts, this time I picked the Hearts & Ombre in Peep. Next, I cut the Sweet Love cut file and backed the hearts with the Sprinkled With Love paper.

To build my layout, I glued the cut file and my photo with adhesive foam to create dimension. I also glued a couple of tags from the ephemera behind the photo. Then, I went through the papers of the collection and picked the All Girl paper, fussy cut some of the hearts and glued them.

To finish my layout, I added flowers and banners from the Ephemera. I also added Puffy Stickers, Ciao Chip, a couple of Cute Clips and white splatters.

I love how this layout turned out! Hope you all like it and get inspired to create beautiful things! You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Winter Projects Week- Day 1 | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Let Us Adore Him Collection, the Bella Besties and one Bella Cut File.

I started my layout by painting a white cardstock with colors that match with the collection, cut it into strips and made a border on each one. Then, I cut a circle and cover it with the strips.

Once I had all the strips glued, I went through the papers of the collection and picked the Grace, Oh Holy Night and Prince Of Peace and backed the Baby, It’s Cold Outside cut file with them.

To build the layout I glued the circle, my photo and the cut file. For this I used adhesive foam to create dimension. Then, I fussy cut some flowers from the Purity paper and made clusters with them. To finish my layout, I backed the layout with the Bella Besties Graph & Dot in Gulf and Bell Pepper, and added Ciao Chip, Ephemera, Puffy Stickers and Enamels.

I love how this layout turned out! Hope you all like it and get inspired to create beautiful things! You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Happy Thanksgiving | Yarelys Rodriguez

Hey there Bella Friends! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are having an amazing day! Yarelys here to share with you a new layout! To make this layout I used the Home Sweet Home collection and three Bella Cut Files.

I started my layout by cutting the cut files. For the Happy Thanksgiving and the Hearty Background cut files, I used white cardstock, and for the On The Vine cut file, I used the Graphic & Dot in Pickle Juice. Once I had cut all my cut files, I want through the papers of the collection and picked the Welcome Home, All My Love, Daily Details, Mosaic Tile and Home Sweet Home, and backed the Happy Thanksgiving cut file with them.

To paint my background, I used Distress Oxide in colors that match with the papers. I also used the Hearty Background as a stencil.

To build my layout, I glued the Happy Thanksgiving cut file and my photos. Then, I fussy cut some flowers from the Welcome Home paper and made three clusters with them and the On The Vine cut file. To finish my layout, I added Ephemera, Doohickey and Trinkets Puffy Stickers.

I love how this layout tuned out. Hope you all like it and get inspired to create beautiful things. You can find the link for the process video of this layout below. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!

Love That Look | Nathalie DeSousa

Hi there!  Nathalie with you today to share a new layout using the new Chloe collection from Bella Blvd.    My niece and nephew  finally got one of their biggest wishes, a pet.  Since we already have Poochie, our Boston Terrier, they went with Chico, our cat-nephew.  So, i pulled the first pictures of my newest nephew to create this page.

 

 

I started this page by adding a bit of mixed media (watercolors) to the Fat and Sassy Paper.  I chose blues and a bit of orange, as those are the main colors in the pictures.

 

 

While the background dried, i carefully separated the word "Love" from the Live Love Meow cut-out.  The cut-outs make the process so easy and quick, a must have.   I used a bit of foam adhesive to back the empty letter spaces with the orange paper from the 6x6 paper pad, then chose to use the  gray paper to back the paw print.  

 

 

I backed the pictures with papers from the 6x6 paper pad and Daily Details paper, then backed the pictures with a piece of Orange Hearts Clear cuts.  The transparency adds a soft pop of the orange color on the page.   With so many cute embellishments, it was so easy to beautify ( i hope that is a word!)  the page.

 

 

I pulled pieces from the ephemera packs, Doo Hickey stickers, Ciao Chips, and epoxy hearts.  I also added a few puffy Orange mix Star stickers, and my cat-nephew's name to the top of the page using the Florence alphabet.

 

 

To finish the page, i trimmed the layout at the top and bottom edge, and glued it to the Cattitude paper.  This gave me a perfect spot to add more embellishments at the bottom of the page, and my lines of journal.

 

 

I love how this page turned out! The colors and designs in the collection are perfect to document my new cat-nephew.  BE sure to check the new Chloe collection, you are going to love it!

XO

Gratitude Documented Digital Layout by Tya Smith

 Hello there, Tya here!  I really love this time of year, I love the chance we get to focus on all of the things we are thankful for. While I do try to find time to be grateful for all I have throughout the rest of the year, I feel especially thankful during the holidays. 

This week we got the chance to focus our projects on Thanksgiving and well, I could not think of a better subject to focus my layout on than on my family. We are such a tight-knit family and I truly adore each and every one of them and am thankful for them all individually in many different ways.  

Here is my digital layout I'd like to share with you. Isn't the Gratitude Documented collection so lovely? I love the color scheme and the hand-drawn elements of this collection. I loved using it with my photo. Aren't those leaves gorgeous? 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to create a layout focusing on all the things you are thankful for this week. I know I will treasure these special photos and memories for many years to come! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Crafting friends!
