It’s CHA Winter 2016 reveal time over on the Bella Blvd blog! There are 6 new collections, along with new embellishments and a huge Illustrated Faith release. We started the reveals yesterday, and will be continuing all the way thru Monday of next week. Today we are sharing the new Sweet Baby Girl collection and the Cute Baby Boy collection.
I worked with the Sweet Baby Girl collection for the catalog, and created the layout above. The colors of the collection made me think about these photos of a previous daycare girlie of mine, Haley. I'm pretty sure I used her photos when I worked with the older baby collection several years ago too. Seems that she's my go-to baby girl. Lol. The disadvantage of having all of my girls baby photos on film and not as easily accessible.
I wanted to incorporate several of the chipboard animals from the Chipboard Icons sheet, and decided to create four columns on the page to create sort of a block/grid design. I used one patterned paper for each column, adding my photos into three of the four columns. This helped to create several smaller blocks of patterned paper in which to arrange my title and embellishments.
I've always considered myself a B-side scrapper, as I gravitate towards the tone-on-tone patterned papers more so than the busier patterns. I chose a few of the tone-on-tone patterns for three of my columns - the pink hearts, the purple dots, and the yellow swirls. I also trimmed up some white confetti Clear Cuts transparency pieces to layer over the purple dotted patterned paper and one of the blocks of yellow swirl patterned paper.
I then added the cute little chipboard animals to a few of the blocks, and worked in a few of the Paper Pieces die cuts too. I cut up the yellow scalloped border sticker and used it above/below a few photos, and tucked in a few tab die cuts above my photos as well. The final embellishments were these adorable little bow clips, which we will officially be revealing on Thursday.
The floral patterned paper was the busier paper that I chose to work into the page, and I used a thinner strip of that for one full column. I added the darker pink scalloped border sticker along one side of the floral patterned paper and then added white and pink enamel dots to some of the flowers.
For my title, I used the "girl" chipboard letters from the Chipboard Icons sheet, and added the "sweet" chipboard word, which is from a new embellishment we'll be revealing later this week. I needed some white on the page to break things up, so I ran a piece of white textured cardstock through a woodgrain embossing folder, spritzed it with pink misting spray, and used it to hold my title.
Head on over to the Bella Blvd blog, HERE, to see the entire Sweet Baby Girl collection and the Cute Baby Boy collection, piece by piece, and to enter the drawing for a chance to win-it-before-you-can-buy-it! The randomly chosen winners for ALL of the reveal giveaways will be announced on Saturday, January 9th.
Such a cute layout! I love the new bow clips they are too cute! They would be the perfect size for cards too :)
