Bella Blvd

I've been going though some photos I printed but haven't scrapped yet and found this silly pic of Miss Q.  I thought some fun, bright and colorful papers would be the perfect backdrop so I pulled out my Bella Blvd stash and got busy.

There's just something about a grid pattern that speaks to me every now and again.  Typically I'm all layers and lots of patterned papers, but I thought the stickers in the Lucky Starz collection should be the main embellishments this time around.  I punched 1.5 inch circles, adhered with foam adhesive and then embellished each circle with stickers.

I also whipped up another Bella Blvd layout with photos of our favorite CoCo RoCo baby girl!

I cut strips of paper from Scattered Sprinkles in 1" and 1.5" strips, then trimmed to varying lengths, turning up the edges and corners as I adhered them down. I was going for a "the-baby-got-ahold-of-the-papers-look,"  haha!  I LOVE the black letter stickers but wanted a more child-like feel, so I doodled on the letters with my white gel Signo pen.  I added enamel dots from Studio Calico and a few X's were hand stitched using a Amy Tangerine template and floss.

Stickers from the collection were used to embellish and create some depth.  I absolutely love colorful layouts and Bella Blvd is a perfect fit every time!

I have lots more stuff to make this weekend, hoping a sick Miss Q feels better soon so I can get my creative fix!  Happy Saturday :)
