I have even MORE projects to share on the blog today. ;)
but since I don't want anyone to think that's all I've got lately - I'll also post a pic of Mr-newly-turned-22-Months-Noahpants from sunday night.
He LOVES the beach SO VERY MUCH right now (which is good bc we are there a lot!) and always wants to run straight into the water. Could not be further from how Evan was around this age (he used to scream that the sand and shells hurt his feet and also refused to go near the water for a good while!).
And now back to the crafting. :) I was thrilled to be asked to guest design for Bella Blvd this month. I have always ADORED their papers and embellies. THEY ARE TOTALLY ME & MY SCRAP STYLE! :)
This is what I made with the very generous assortment of product that they sent my way...
...Hello Sweetpea is collection of photos from Noah's "6 month" half birthday. "6 Months" for him fell at the beginning of the month of December - and while i took a TON of photos, I think I've processed all of two. :) ha. (STORY OF MY LIFE!) So when I knew that I wanted to use Bella's Baby Boy line as much as humanly possible on these projects (bc I adore it THAT much!), I immediately went back to his 6 Months photo files and found a few shots I loved to process and scrap.
The faux "photostrip" was created by sizing three pics to 2.5 square at 300dpi then arraning on a white background (also at 300dpi) and printing on excess space on one of my 12x18 prints at costo (make sure to leave white around the edge too, so that you can trim like a photostrip.
This "Baby Moments" page is a mix of the Baby Boy line and the Spring Collection. LOTS of little favorite b&w snaps of Noah. The title was cut with Bebas Neue & Japan (fonts) from my silhouette. I just ADORE this little border strip print paper - so many possibilities and the alligator is my FAVE (no surprise!). ;)
...I mixed in the baby boy chipboard embellies here & the baby boy stickers.
...I can't believe my "baby" is almost two!!! :)
And I cleaned up my project mess by creating this card with the scraps! I'm hoarding that cloud print paper and have already cut up my scraps as 3x4 pieces and stuck them in my Project Life stash.
:)
Hope everyone is having a great week - we are enjoying lots of spring break fun here!!!

I love this Bella Blvd line and love your layouts and photo's (as always). In the "hello sweetpea" layout, where did you get the "hello" circle? I noticed you used a "love" circle in a previous layout.

hi kim - thanks so much! the hello and love in a circle were purchased in the same set from the silhouette store! :)
