Mr. & Mrs. - a wedding layout

This Saturday, Stephanie of Bella Blvd is getting married!  To celebrate her big day all of the Bella Blvd designers created wedding layouts to post on the Bella Blvd blog this week.  It was fun to go back and scrapbook a picture from 13 years ago....Of course my wedding was not shot digital, so it took a little digging to get a photo, but totally worth it!

I used my cameo to cut the Mr. & Mrs. title and then used some back and white chevron tape to show behind it.  I then cut a bunch of heart circles and backed them with different patterned papers.  The colors at our wedding were a light periwinkle blue and silver, so I scatter a few sequins throughout  

Here are some close ups:

Check out the Bella Blvd blog all week long for more wedding inspiration.  It has been been fun to go back in time and see everyone's wedding pictures.

Currently

Good Morning...I'm back from a week off from blogging.  Things were busy with a few extra projects for National Scrapbooking Day... but now I am here to share some of those projects.  First up is "Currently," a Bella Blvd layout.  All of the designers were challenged to come up with some sort of layout about themselves.  This is what I came up with...

Currently:

I love little vellum baggies flilled with confetti and sequins.

Get to know some of the other Bella Blvd designers a little better starting here.   Go back through all posts on May 4th to meet them all.

Buttons! A Chic Tags Challenge

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by.  Today I have a quick little layout to share... The Sunday Challenge on the Chic Tags blog this week is buttons.  Good ol' buttons!  Use them on a layout, grab a tag or two and link up to this post on the blog for a chance to win an awesome prize.

I layered some buttons on a scalloped circle tag and then used a die cut tag to frame it.  Everything is "pinned" on the cork board paper!

egg hunt

Hello Saturday  It is the weekend... and we are finally supposed to have some decent weather in this neck of the woods.  Spring has taken it's sweet time this year.  Today I have a layout to share with you here and on the Bella Blvd blog.  This is the sketch that we used for this week's Saturday Sketch:

And here is my take on this sketch:

Again, I stuck pretty close to the sketch, adding a few more layers here and there.  The feathers are acting as a photo mat.  And I added an extra layer of scalloped borders.

I also decided I needed a bunch of word strips and buttons clustered as another embellishment.

Stop by the Bella Blvd blog to see what the other designers have done with this sketch...and then give it a try yourself!
