Bella Blvd: Step-By-Step Project Sheet - IF She Blooms Collection

The June project sheet is up on the Bella Blvd blog today. For this month's layout, I was asked to use the IF She Blooms collection and Clear Cuts specialty papers. I'm pretty sure I was also asked to create a layout about flowers, but photos of my girls with flowers in the background was as close as I could come to that request ;)

My favorite Clear Cut transparencies to use are the white ones. I may have mentioned this before, since I do use them quite a bit. I love to use a lot of white cardstock on my layouts, and the white transparencies layer over so nicely, adding a subtle look. 

For the base of the layout, I used the fun black and white polka dot patterned paper, and adding a smaller piece of the pink plus sign patterned paper along with my white cardstock. 

I printed my photos as a collage, since I knew they would be arranged side by side on the page. They're 3x4" photos, so you could also just print out three photos and use them individually across the page. I picked out several patterned papers from the IF She Blooms collection to layer under my photos, pulling the colors from the die cut and chipboard flowers that I knew I would be embellishing the page with. 

I layered all of the patterned papers together, and adding my photo collage to the top, and then machine stitched around the edges of just the top patterned paper (the floral one). If my patterned paper layers were just a tad larger, I would have machine stitched around each layer of paper. 

I used the alphas from the Treasures & Text sticker sheet for my title, and added some black Tiny Text alpha stickers to a chipboard banner for my sub-title. 

I embellished the page with some of the flower die cuts from the Paper Pieces pack and a few chipboard flowers from the Chipboard Icons sheet. These flowers are so pretty all on their own, but it could also be fun to add some enamel dots to the centers of each flower.
