yesterday, it was halloween on the blog. and today, we're switching over to easter. lol! i've been playing with bella blvd's two new collections the last few days, and today i'm sharing a layout using the new spring flings and easter things collection.

i managed to find some egg coloring photos that i have never scrapped before. somehow, 2007 never made it into the albums. i didn't have that many photos to chose from, so i picked out four photos that i could line up across the page. originally, when i trimmed them from my sheet of photo paper, i left a white border around each photo. then i remembered that i had sized them at 3"x4", so that they would fit perfectly across the page. i started to trim off all the white borders, and decided that i liked the look of one photo with the borders, to make it stand out more.

i think you all know how much i LOVE my white cardstock. but sometimes, it's too plain looking, if i leave too much white space. for my taste, anyways. i'm trying to use my mists more now, and i have to say, i LOVE the way it adds a little sumpin-sumpin to the white cardstock.

on this layout, i used my mister huey's, by studio calico, in bonny blue and lemonade. i'm definately new to misting, but i've read enough and seen it enough to have a slight idea of what i'm doing. i keep a box in my scraproom, that i can mist inside of. i even know to mist the areas you want, before adding your other papers and photos. and yet, somehow, i managed to mist two of my photos. and they weren't anywhere near where i misted. go figure. it landed on sarah's face, so i had to re-print them.

i just LOVE the font of the alphabet stickers from bella blvd. i love how the inside of the letters in this collection, have little hearts on them. since occasionally, i do like to leave that middle piece there, instead of just throwing it away. now that i'm looking at it, i think that "g" would look really cute as a pair of sunglasses. don't you think? lol! the hearts could be little eyes 🙂

 i have another layout with this collection, that i'll share another day this week. remember to ask your LSS to order now, since it's a limited edition release. they start shipping on october 24th!
