Today I am going to show you a layout that I have been wanting to make for a while! I have had the "Just Add Color" Collection from Bella Blvd for quite awhile and I just haven't had the chance to play with it. I'm on a bit of a rainbow kick so I worked that into the layout!

One day last week when I just needed to do something for myself, I decided to pull out this collection. I had this family selfie from last fall - the colors in it were awkward so I made it black and white. And although some parts of the kids faces are missing, I think you can see the happiness in everyone's eyes and expressions. I cut a title out from the colllection and then really dug into my stash. I pulled out borders from all kinds of Bella Blvd Collections and layered them in rainbow order. I did some coloring in on the hearts surrounding them and then added a few embellies to draw the eye into the picture. It turned out fun and vibrant!

It's my turn up on Creative Charms blog. I really wanted to do a layout this time and I had this idea in my head - I was really pleased with how it came together. Believe it or not it didn't take a crazy amount of time - I got it done during Cooper's two quick naps today!

Creative Charms has such great variety available for color choices in all sorts of embellishments. For my project today I set out to showcase that variety. Rainbows are all over the place in papercrafting now, so of course I wanted to get in on the action! I created my rainbow using all old scraps of paper. I pulled out three or four of each color and just started tearing and placing them where I wanted them. After I placed my picture and title down I pulled out my pile of Creative Charms goodies. I started by picking one bigger flower in each color and putting those down on the rainbow. I then added gradient gems in various sizes. I love the variety of dimension all the fun Creative Charms goodies added. This was also a great way to use up some of those packs of flowers that I had just one or two left of! I have to mention that I used my last yellow Groovy Petal - originally looking at those I wasn't sure how much I would use them. But they match so many manufacturer papers out there and it has a unique look it's been the easiest to use and become a favorite of mine! I've actually just used them recently on a Nikki Sivils project and an Authentique project.
