Hello and Happy Tuesday! I'm up on the blog at A Walk Down Memory Lane with this layout documenting Miss Q's "First Date" with her bestie! Click HERE to read the post.
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 :)

Happy Sunday friends, I wanted to do a quick layout share I made with Gossamer Blue's February kits.
Miss Q and her bestie had a playdate at the park last month and I thought these slipper-slide photos were both funny and adorable. The Simple Stories paper inspired me to hand stitch along the edges of each sunburst as well as the title in the center. I added a few enamel dots and stickers to complete the layout.
Hello! I was going through some older photos last week and rediscovered this favorite of Miss Q on her very first Halloween. I've had the Bella Blvd Trick or Treat collection kit for quite a while and thought the fun icons fit perfectly for a baby Halloween layout.
The heart die cut was a my starting point, then I chose the background paper. Those pumpkins are just so sweet! The photo frame die cut peeks from behind the photo and is layered over the colorful chevron patterned paper.
I just kept adding cute stickers and die cuts, using foam adhesive on some pieces for added dimension. I used a black pen to outline the heart and Quinn's name, I think it added some depth to the die cut and stickers. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I used Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen on the letter stickers.
