Yesterday, on the Bella Blvd blog, we shared some more peeks at our new embellishments and chipboard alphas. I shared one of the layout that was posted yesterday, and I'm back today to share the other layout.
Check out all of those adorable stick pin flags! For CHA Summer, there are 6 new designs, that coordinate with the three new collections. Flags are such a fun little embellishment that are great for tucking onto layouts and cards. And with such a wide variety of themes and sets, you're bound to find plenty of options for whatever your needs are.
I knew I wanted to use lots and lots of flags on this layout. I started with my photos (isn't Miss Miranda adorable!) and the title block from the Birthday Girl collection.
Then I pulled flags from several different sets, in colors and styles that matched. From there, I pulled together my patterned papers and buttons, also in coordinating colors.
I thought this little title block was so cute, with the "You are the frosting to my cupcake" saying on it. I recently picked up this really cute canvas print, that had similiar types of sayings on it. I used that canvas to do my journaling. If you can't read it, it says: "You are the sun in my sky. You are the smile on face. You are the apple of my eye. You are the bubbles in my bath. You are the ink in my pen. You are the love of my life."
To help "ground" the flags to my layout, I layered punched circles of pattern paper together, and topped them with a button. These created fun little accents to scatter around the page, and I simply tucked a stick pin flag into each one.
Now, head on over to the Bella Blvd blog, where if you havn't already, you can enter in the FOUR giveaways we're offering up this week. We will be announcing winners next Tuesday. On Monday, we are kicking off our Endless Inspiration feature, where we will be sharing a TON of the CHA projects that the Bella designers have been hard at work on for the last few weeks. So there's definately more projects to come here on my blog as well!
Love it! Adorable photos and I love all the flowers, buttons and flags! :)
