Simply Rebeca

Hello crafty friend! It's Rebeca Ruiz with you today, sharing a bright and colorful layout I created with the fabulous Let's Scrapbook collection by Bella Blvd.  As a scrapbooker, I fell in love with this collection the first time I saw it. The colors and designs are so happy that it is perfect to document everything related to this hobby, so why not document this special photo?? If you are a fan of Bella Blvd, you can imagine that I was thrilled when I was invited to join the Bella Blvd Creative Team. I have admired this company since its beginnings and love its colorful collections and cute designs. So being part of its Creative Team is an amazing adventure I'll be sharing with you this year.

For this layout, I printed the photo and matted it with papers from the Bella Besties 6x6 Pad. First, I used a piece of dark blue paper, and then a piece of pink paper. Once the photo was ready, I started working with the background. I used a white cardstock as my base and matted with a black cardstock to leave a thin border around it. Then, I matted both with the colorful triangles paper.

In the center area of the layout, I added a piece of teal polka dot paper in a horizontal direction. Then, I added three stripes of patterned paper in red, green, and black in a vertical direction. The bottom part of the stripes was notched to add interest and create movement in the layout.  Under the teal paper, I used a chipboard border, cut in two parts, to extend it to the sides of the photo. 

For the title, I used one of the die cuts from the Let's Scrapbook Ephemera Words pack. I used foam tape behind it to give dimension.  To make the area more interesting, I added a few more embellishments to create a cluster. On the right side, I used the Bella Pop cut with the tools and pencils, isn't it cute? Then, on the top, I stuck a die cut with papers and stickers designs, on the left I used an arrow to point to my photo, and on the bottom, the phrase "I Heart Scrapbooking".  To complete the cluster, I added a few puffy stickers like the stars, flowers, and a red heart. 

On the upper corner of the photo, I made another cluster, this time using flowers. I mixed flowers of different materials. The big blue flower is from the cardstock stickers, the light blue flower is from the chipboard stickers, and the other two flowers are from the puffy stickers. Once the flowers were positioned, I wanted to add some leaves, so I cut them from the green paper on the Bella Besties 6x6 Pad. Below the flowers, I added a pink camera from the Bella Pops. 

To balance the layout, I added a few puffy stickers near the camera and some white Nuvo Drops. Then, I wrap everything with black paint splatters.

It was fun to create this layout and document this special memory. I hope you like this layout as much as I do, and it inspires you to craft.

Thank you very much for your visit and come back soon for more inspiration!
