Bella Blvd: Plaids & Dotty

Hello everyone! I have this layout up over at the Bella Blvd Studio Blog today:

I feel like I am drawing all of my inspiration from Pinterest lately! But, I came across this image, and thought it would make a pretty great background:

I paired up some of my favorite colors from the Plaids & Dotty. Using a circle cutter, I cut out 3 different sized circles: 1.5 in., 2.5 in., and 3.5 in. I cut the circles in half, matched them up, and sewed them together using a zigzag stitch.

Using white cardstock as my background, I adhered the circles in an interesting pattern...and layered on some puffy stars, embellishments from the Oh My Stars collection with my photo, and an acrylic word title to finish the look.

This was a fun one!

Plaids&Dotty: Bell Pepper, Scallop, Orange, Pickle Juice, Ice, Black, Blueberry; Oh My Stars: Fundamentals, Gift Tags, Tabbies; Acrylic Words: Fearless&Strong; Puffy Stars: Ice, Bell Pepper, Blueberry, Oreo; Heart Hugs: Happy Birthdays, Sentiments, Give Thanks; Homespun Alphas: Olive You; Tiny Text: Faithful; Word Salad

Thanks for stopping by today!

Bella Blvd: Heart Hug Puppies

Hello! Today, I am up over at the Bella Blvd Studio Blog sharing this layout using Heart Hugs:

I spotted a Puppy card on Pinterest that was made out of hearts. With all of the available heart embellishments made by Bella, I thought it would be easy to make mini puppies.

The puppies' faces are made of upside down Heart Hugs.

The ears are Puffy Hearts cut in half and placed upside down on either side. Enamel Hearts make up the noses and tongues.

I used jewels that I had on hand for the eyes, but I'm sure the enamel dots from the Heart Hugs would work just fine.

This project was so much fun, and I love how it turned out! How are you using Heart Hugs?

Thanks for stopping by!
