Shimelle.com Guest Blogger using Bella Blvd Riley Collection
This week I was honored to be a guest over at Shimelle's blog. I would love if you would come over to say hi. Here's a little peek of a layout I created using her Sketch No. 25. I had a lot of fun creating this one with some of the new Bella Blvd. Riley Collection.
Thanks so much for visiting. :)

Bella Blvd. Tiny Tots Layouts ~ Day 2
Happy Friday! As promised I'm back to share my last two layouts using the adorable Tiny Tots collection by Bella Blvd. (in case you missed my previous post, more projects using this happy line can be seen HERE, HERE and HERE).
This layout was one of the last projects I created, but it turned out to be one of my favorites (and probably my quickest to create too). Pie charts have been all the rage for awhile now, but this is my first time making one. I seriously don't know what took me so long though because it combines my two loves: Circles and lots of patterned paper! My page was inspired by a wonderful sketch by the great Becky Fleck at Page Maps.
For my title I cut out two of the words from the strip found on the borders patterned paper and added a third word using the darling chipboard alphas. To form some separation between each of my pie shapes, I added a mix of different border stickers from the Treasures and Text sticker sheet.
My last share was actually my very first project I created with this collection. I thought these papers were a perfect compliment to this photo of my daughter's preschool with the alphabet rug!
For my title I was inspired by the giant heart die cut from the paper pieces set. I then knew my title had to be pretty short and sweet to fit within that space. The ABC's & 123's chipboard pennant was just what I needed to carry out my theme and fit in the space!
I'm always looking for ways to showcase more of the my favorite patterned papers and ground stickers from the collection and this patchwork border (inspired by the rug in my photo) was just the ticket.
It's hard to tell from these photos, but for my abc's border just below my title, I pleated the striped patterned paper using my Martha Stewart scoreboard to give them the look of a ruffle. It's a subtle detail, but I like the texture it gives my page.
For many of my layouts using this collection I wanted to stretch the papers I had so I could utilize both sides for my additional projects. To achieve this I cut out the centers whenever they would be covered by other elements as was the case with this red star paper. Afterwards I mounted the entire page on a piece of old cardstock in a color that I don't really care for anymore. It gives the layout stability and makes me feel good using up cardstock that would otherwise go unused.
Well that wraps up my little series using this darling collection. I was pretty pleased I was able to create 4 layouts and 6 cards using this one set with plenty of scraps to spare! Now that I've made a bit of a dent in my stash I won't feel quite so guilty filling my cart with more from Bella's latest adorable release! ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet comments that have been left. They always make my day! :)

Bella Blvd. Tiny Tots Layouts ~ Day 1
Hello there! Did you have a nice weekend? Today I'm back sharing two of the four layouts I created using the Tiny Tots collection by Bella Blvd.
For my first layout I found some favorite photos featuring our encounter with the Sesame Street gang at Universal Studios Osaka and I knew they would be perfect with the darling ABC's paper!
To form a visual triangle I added a colorful subtitle to the top, right-hand corner of my page, layering a mixture of die-cuts and stickers from the collection.
The second grouping of my triangle was created with a punched out sunshine (using an ancient EK Success punch) and a chipboard cloud. I love how I lucked out and the sun just perfectly fit within on of the scalloped circles! For the center of my sun I used an extra letter "o" from the treasures and text sticker sheet.
To create the white scalloped border behind my circles, I welded 7 scalloped circles together on my Silhouette software sized to perfectly shadow the 2" circles in my border.
My title was inspired by the first two words of the Sesame Street song which I couldn't get out of my head while I was working on this. LOL! I cut the word "days" out on my Silhouette using the font SNF Lollihop. The 3 little flower buttons (also by Bella Blvd) were the final touch to complete my visual triangle.
Up next is a layout that started with the little lion circle die cut and these photos of my nephew wearing a similar lion towel. From there his clothing and the die cut dictated my color choices.
I thought a banner style layout would be the perfect way to showcase several of the smaller chipboard and pennant style stickers from the collection, as well as a couple of the fun journaling cards and tags.
I love how this collection has both the words "man" and "lady" so you can personalize your title to work for either!
Are you still with me? ;) I will be returning on Friday with my last two layouts from this collection. Until then, I hope you have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
