Yesterday, on the Bella Blvd blog, we had a new project sheet available for download. For this month, I created a Mother's Day layout, featuring the Plastino collection. 

You might be thinking, "Wow, she's quick. Took a photo on Mother's Day and has it scrapped already". LOL. Not quite. The girls and I took this photo over a month ago, since I knew I had to get this layout done. The way I see it, I never remember to take photos like this ON the actual holiday. So I was just working ahead a bit. Nothing wrong with that, right 😉

The Plastino collection is an older collection, from Bella Blvd, but still a great one. I have always loved the aqua flower patterned paper. I used that as the base of my layout. The other paper I choose to use, was the creamish paper, with clusters of flowers surrounded by dotted circles.

I picked a few of the encircled flower clusters (all from the outside edge of the paper) to use on three different sections of my layout. I handcut around the dotted circles, and then used my distressing tool around the edges of the circles. I adhered these three sections to the aqua patterned paper, in the same exact spots that I had cut them out of the creamish paper.

I added a few scalloped edged stickers, using pop dots for extra dimension. Along with the sticker in the upper left corner of the page, I also added a few Blooms-A-Bella flowers.

I added a piece of my favorite graph patterned paper, from the Family Dynamix collection, on the bottom right side of the page. I needed a more neutral paper, so that my title would stand out. I used some chipboard alphas and letter stickers, to create my title. A chipboard border, some more flowers, a button, and a few stickers finished off the page.
