I’m sharing this layout today on the Bella Blvd. blog (HERE), where all week long the design team has been sharing patriotic projects!
Here are a few of the fun details (don’t you love those little crocheted hearts?!?
You can find my complete supply list, lots of fabulous patriotic projects, and a chance to win this awesome package of patriotic goodies by clicking HERE and leaving a comment!
How can it be Friday already? Is anyone else wondering how in the world a single day can drag on for so long, yet an entire week simply flies by? It’s been a crazy summer so far with kids going all different directions – but by tonight everyone in our little family will be safely tucked back into our little nest, which makes this mama bird VERY happy!
Yesterday I had a layout go live on the Bella Blvd. blog – it’s title, appropriately, “find a reason to smile.”
I was challenged to create this layout based on an inspiration piece found on pinterest – click over to the Bella Blvd. blog to see the inspiration as well as several more projects inspired by the same piece. I always love to see how other designers interpret photos for these types of challenges, don’t you?
Here are some details:
I was going to include a supply list – but the list is HUGE – that’s what happens when you go rifling through an entire stash to find a few specific colors! So instead, click over to my gallery at Scrapbook.com (here) and you can find links to all of the products I used! :)
Have a happy weekend – find a reason (or a hundred) to smile! :)
Good Wednesday morning! Today I wanted to share a layout I created for the Bella Blvd. blog earlier this week. My assignment was to create a patriotic layout, using the Lucky Starz collection, to share on Memorial Day. These photos were taken last year at a small town 4th of July rodeo our family attended.
You can read more about my layout HERE on the Bella Blvd. blog. In addition to the Lucky Starz Papers, I added some chipboard and flags from an older Bella Blvd. collection called “All American.”
I used my favorite mini-stapler to add a bit of detail. It’s called a “tiny attacher.” Do you have one of these staplers yet? I LOVE it!
I also used another favorite tool, my Silhouette Cameo, to cut out the shape of the USA before adding letter stickers…I just love the detail of this cut (you can find the shape here in the Silhouette store).
Thanks for stopping by today – I hope you have a GREAT day!! :)
Good morning! Do you have daily rituals or routines that you have neglected to photograph and/or document? Chances are, if you have children, many of your afternoons are filled with a scene similar to this:
I love documenting the “every day” happenings – things that aren’t necessarily spectacular, but little bits and pieces that make up our daily lives. Homework is definitely one of those things – at least for 9 months of the year! My kids are counting down the days (there are only a few) until this ritual will end for a few months…it will be replaced with lots of playing and sunshine and water – yay for summer break!!
This layout was up on the Bella Blvd. blog last week (here). Here are a few of the details:
I used products from their new mid-release collections (all of the products are linked below). I just love these fun letter stickers – the font is so playful and fun!
I love the bright, happy, clean colors – they make even the most simple photos come to life!
Thanks for stopping by – I hope you are having a great week so far!
Since it’s National Scrapbook Day, I have ANOTHER layout to share with you! 
This is one I made to share as part of the Bella Blvd. celebration!
All 24 Design team members created “About Me” type pages – and they are all going to be shared on the Bella Blvd. blog throughout the day. While you’re there, be sure to keep your eyes open for some fun giveaways! :)
Here are the details of my layout:
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you’re having fun celebrating National Scrapbook Day today! :)
Good morning! Before I share today’s project, I just had to tell you about a funny little thing that has been on my mind. Well, not a funny thing really. You see, I have this cute daughter who is smart and witty and clever. She is confident and brave and strong. She is not afraid to say what she is thinking – and she’ll deal with any fallout it may cause. Now, that all sounds pretty dramatic – it really wasn’t meant to – but yesterday I was reminded, in a silly little way, about her personality and how she always adds such a unique and interesting perspective. Okay, enough babbling – this is what caught my attention yesterday:
A silly little post she put on Instagram. She shared a beautiful photo of the Provo Temple, covered in snow. Seems innocent, right? But then read what she wrote.
It was the same thing I’d been thinking the entire day…but I didn’t say it or share it or write it or anything. She did. That’s her personality. I love it. And her. That is all. Let it Snow! :)
And now on to this fun layout I created for the Bella Blvd. blog earlier this week. On Monday, we were challenged to create a 20 minute layout. I am not a fast scrapbooker, so it truly was a challenge. You can read more about how I did (or didn’t) meet the challenge here, on the Bella Blog.
And speaking of scout camp…both of my little boys are getting excited for Cub Scout Day camp next summer – yes, already! It was such a fun memory for Seth, and I’m glad Zach gets to experience it this year too. :)
I’m off to run some errands (yes, in the SNOW) before the kids are all home from school – I hope you’re having a happy day and enjoying whatever it is that makes your life unique!
