Bella BLVD | Fire Cracker...

Hello Friends!  I am back to share a little more of the All American collection from Bella BLVD.



"Fire Cracker"
products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella BLVD (All American); alpha - Bella BLVD; other - Bella BLVD: chipboard, crochet hearts, stickers, flags; paint, brads; tools - typewriter. 

With this layout I wanted to showcase how to use these patterned papers especially if you don't have any 4th of July/Americana photos to scrap.  Living in Australia, I struggled to come up with an idea at first.  Then I saw all the cute little fire crackers in the collection.  Instead of creating a layout with fireworks in the "traditional" sense.. I thought I'd use them in a "metaphorical" way.  Yes.  My middle son has a temper.  *grin*


Journaling: always quick to heat up, followed usually with a huge explosion!



Granted.. His temper tantrums usually come after his big brother has been antagonising him or I have repeatedly asked him to clean his room.. And it is not always a pretty sight.  But I wanted to document this aspect of his character.  Hmmm.  I am hoping that he will eventually outgrow this need to vent his frustrations in this particular way.  And so I scrap it.  The good, the bad and the ugly! *grin*
Thanks for visiting..x

Bella BLVD | Super Hero..

 
 
Hello!  I just wanted to share with you my layout that is up on the Bella BLVD blog today.  Remember that little sneak from last week?  Well, here is the full reveal...

"Super Hero"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella BLVD All American collection; alpha - Bella BLVD; other - Bella BLVD All American: flags, ciao chip chipboard, stickers, designer tape; white embroidery floss; tools - type writer, machine stitching, Martha Stewart circle punch.


Liam is a huge fan of "The Avengers".  Everything at the moment seems to involve super heroes or villains!  It is definitely a boys world.  His all time favourite hero (at the moment) is Captain America.  So can you imagine his absolute delight when his dad came home with bubble bath in the shape  of his fave super hero!  LOL! I did mention he lives, breathes and bathes super hero at the moment didn't I?! *grin*




My inspiration for this layout came from the all of the stars sprinkled throughout the collection.  I even cut some stars from the new designer tape - Navy dot. 
 
Thanks for visiting and don't forget to visit the Bella blog to see what the DT has created with this stunning All American collection.
