Bella Blvd - Tuesday Inspiration layout

Hi everyone!

I have a layout up over at the Bella Blvd blog today!

It is Tuesday Inspiration day, and it is one fabulous image! :) I had a lot of fun working on this one! Went a little out of my "normal" style, but hey, I love doing that!! I don't necessarily like saying I have a normal style, I like to scrap different ways! :)

Goodbye 2012

This was such a fabulous inspiration image to create from! I was inspired by everything from this photo! From the straws, all the way to the printed background. I embellished with flags and circular punched pieces of paper, keeping the photo and clustering low on my layout like the ribbon is in the photo. I added my title so it resembled the flags mixed in with the straws. It is so great to be able to pull so many different Bella products and make them work together effortlessly! 

Supplies:
Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Scallop; Sophisticates: Sprinkles & Lace Surf N Turf, Sprinkles & Lace Oyster; Kiss Me: True Love, Borders & Cute Cuts; Engaged At Last: Chipboard Icons; Simply Simona Chipboard Numbers: White; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Pony; Designer Tape: Piggy Pink Stripe, Cotton Candy Chevron; Button Market: Blues; Flags: Just Married; Feathers: Oyster

Be sure to head over to the Bella Blog HERE to see all the amazing takes on the this inspiration image.

(I tried to add the image, but Blogger wouldn't let me!!! Sorry! The link was all I could do!)

Bella Blvd Saturday Sketch: Our 5th Anniversary Date Night

There is a new sketch up over at the Bella Blvd blog today!

Another great PageMaps sketch by the amazing Becky Fleck!!

This is the second February sketch:

And here is my take on it:

Our 5th Anniversary Date Night

Such a fun sketch! I switched the flowers for hearts, which were inspired by the Flutter patterned paper that I used as my background/border. I used the hearts, and the heart negatives, from the circles I punched from the True Love paper. I love the look of the negatives! I finished off with a nice, long title, which is something I am really liking right now.

I love seeing what the other girls' do with the sketches! Always so different and so inspirational!!

Be sure to check it all out HERE!!
