Shine On - Bella Blvd Digital Layout

 Hello there Bella Blvd fans! It's Tya here with you today!  I hope you are all having a great week! I am up today sharing with you my latest digital scrapbook layout! I used the awesome "Make Your Mark" digital collection to create this layout. Aren't the colors so great? I love black with pops of bright colors so much!

This is the time of year that we start winding down the school year. This photo was one of my oldest daughter's senior pictures. I converted the photo to black and white so it wouldn't compete with the bright colors. My favorite part of this layout is the scallop banners. When I saw these I knew that I needed to duplicate them and use them as a background element to put behind my picture. I simply duplicated the border a few times and then flipped it horizontally in my photo editing software (I used Photoshop) so that the colors would be opposite on each line. Don't be afraid to use things like banners and borders as larger decorative elements on your layouts! Digital scrapbooking makes it easy to resize your elements to your liking! And I like that a lot :)

I hope that I have inspired you today! Sometimes it just takes one special photo that you want to focus on to really make a unique statement and record a special memory! Have a fantastic week and Happy Crafting!

Always There Digital Layout - Bella Blvd

Hi there Bella Fans! It's Tya Smith up on the blog today sharing my latest digital scrapbooking layout! Well if you didn't know - today is National Siblings Day and I thought it would be fun to create a kind of "then" and "now" type of layout of my youngest two kiddos. These two were best buddies from day one and still to this day get along so well. It is touching to this mama's heart to see that their kids like each other still after all these years. I may have shed a tear or two. That is the great thing about scrapbooking is that you can relive the memories you feel when looking at the photos.

I used the adorable Family Frenzy Digital collection to create this layout. I loved the bright, primary color scheme of this collection and I also enjoyed using some of the many word strips that are included with the kit. I thought the half squares that I created from some of the pattern papers made a good visual element. It was easy to create these with the shape tool in Photoshop.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you enjoyed this layout I created and it inspired you to scrapbook a few of your own sibling celebration photos! Happy Crafting!

Happy Easter- Bella Blvd Digital Layout

Hello, Bella fans! It's Tya Smith up on the blog today! I am so excited to be sharing this bright and cheery Easter-themed digital layout with you all today! Isn't the Sweet Sweet Spring collection so cute? Perfect pastels and happy little icons made this a super fun layout to put together!

Having your photos in a grid is very pleasing to the eye and I love using this technique when I am working with 3 or 4 photos. It also is good to add your embellishments around the perimeter of the grid so your eye moves along with the photos. Just a handy little design tip I like to use!

So if you have oodles of holiday photos like I do, try this type of photo placement! I loved that I could add more than one photo! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!

It's Spring Digital Layout- Bella Blvd

Hi there Bella fans! It's Tya here on the blog today. I am so happy to be able to share with you my latest digital scrapbooking layout! I love the change of seasons! I am lucky to live in a place where we get to experience all four seasons so it always makes me so happy to change from one to the next. Spring is a lovely time of year! One of my favorite things is all of the flowers. And nothing is sweeter than a little blossom picked by little hands! I love this picture of my daughter and her sweet smile all ready to give her mama a flower she picked all by herself! 

I used the adorable Sweet Sweet Spring Digital collection to create my layout. The bright pops of color along with the sweet embellishments made putting this layout together so much fun! 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to start thinking about some of your springtime photos and how to scrapbook the sweet little moments like I did. Happy Crafting!

My Favorites Digital Layout -Bella Blvd Digi

Hey, Bella Blvd fans! Tya here, and all this week on the blog we are scrapbooking our favorite things. I haven't done one of these types of layouts for a while so it's was super fun recording the things that are my favorite in my life right now. 

Black with pops of color is one of my favorite color combos to work with so I chose papers and embellishments from the digital Addison collection and the digital Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave collection. Those colors and icons were a blast to work with. 

Have you created a layout about your favorites recently? What are you waiting for? It is so much fun! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope I have inspired you to create a layout like mine! Happy Crafting!

This is Us Digital Layout - Bella Blvd

Hello, Bella fans! Isn't this time of year so romantic? I love that I get to cuddle up with my favorite person and celebrate our relationship this time of year! (Although - I will admit - he does a pretty good job of making sure I know he loves me year-round - he's a keeper!) 

I thought it would be fun to do a layout from the photos we have taken together over the past couple of years. It's fun to document our growth as a couple, and how he still loves me even with my grey hair and smile lines that seem to stick around a lot longer now! LOL! 

I used the gorgeous "You are Loved" Illustrated Faith collection to create this digital layout. I love collections that have the papers already paint-splattered and all distressed for me already! Makes for a quick, easy not to mention mess-free creative process! 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to take a minute and reflect on your special someone this time of year and create a layout all about the two of you! Happy Crafting!

Bella Blvd Digital Layout: Winter!

Hi Bella Blvd Fans! It's Tya and I am so happy to be sharing with you all my latest digital scrapbooking layout! We we challenged to use a few different collections to make a Winter themed layout and as you can see - I had a lot of fun with this challenge! I love that the Christmas collections that Bella Blvd has are also great for making winter-themed layouts as well! I used a few different Christmas themed collections as well as a few of the basic digital papers to make my layout!

My family loves winter! We live in Utah - which is known to have "the greatest snow on Earth" as it says on our license plates and my family loves to take advantage of our mountains and all of that glorious powder. We love to ski, snowboard and go tubing frequently! So I made a layout of our most recent outing! I love how there are a few different collections -  but the colors worked together perfectly! 

 I hope I have inspired you to take a closer look at your Christmas themed collections and see what you can use to make some fun Winter themed layouts of your own! Thanks a bunch for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!
