All Boy | Bella Blvd Alex Collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing my 7th and final layout created using the Bella Blvd Alex collection!

The background paper I have used is quite busy so I decided to cover it over with some white cardstock but before I did, I used my Cuttlebug to cut out 3 circles. I made sure to cut them out from the very centre of the paper so that I could use the entire paper as a background without anyone knowing its been hacked into!   

I cut more circles from the other papers as well to balance it all out. I used the alphabet stickers from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet to create my title, I decided to place the title following the shape of one of the circles.

I took the Cool Kid wood veneer and backed it with some patterned paper so it didn't get lost on the white cardstock.

A couple more stickers were added as well as some puffy star stickers and a few small wood veneer to further embellish my page! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Sassy Scrappers blog today!

So Hungry | Bella Blvd Alex Collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing another layout created using the awesome Alex collection by Bella Blvd! This is the 6th layout I have now created with these awesome products and I still have 1 more to share! I think 7 layouts from a few papers and embellishments is excellent value, don't you?!

When I saw all the food related ephemera pieces in the Alex collection I just knew I had the perfect photo to use on this layout! My 11 year old certainly likes to think with his stomach so this layout is him to a tee! I added lots of the food related die-cuts to compliment my layout plus some of the wood veneer and stickers too!

The black zig zags are from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet, I cut it up into 3 different pieces so that I could place them strategically around my layout! I like how the black really pops against the yellow background! My title is made up of the grey alphabet stickers also included on the 12 x 12 sticker sheet!

So that's all from me today, I hope you found some inspiration from my layout today? Check out this collection plus loads more all available now in the Sassy Scrappers store!

Happy creating!

Skate Dude | Bella Blvd Alex Collection | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Sassy Scrappers! It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout using the Bella Blvd Alex collection!

Whether you have younger or older boys to scrapbook, the Alex collection is so perfect for both! I have a 6 year old and an 11 year old and I have found these to be super easy to create pages using these products! 

My eldest son is currently into skateboarding...we have a ramp not too far from our home so we will often spend an afternoon there! Its also great for my younger son, who just rides his bike around!

I focused on using mainly on the grey, black and blue colours on this layout! The triangles is a cut file I used from Just Nick Studio....I ended up not using the full cut file, I cut some of it up and just used pieces of it. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Sassy blog today....make sure to check out the Sassy store for these products plus much more goodness as well!
Happy creating!

Everyday Gamer | Bella Blvd Alex | Tarrah McLean

Hi there Sassy Scrappers!

It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I have another boy themed layout to share with you using the awesome 'Alex' collection by Bella Blvd.

To begin this layout I decided to cut a title from a Just Nick Studio cut file set that went with the theme of my photo! My eldest son is a mad gamer so this title was perfect for this layout! The 'everyday' wood veneer piece from the Heidi Swapp set was also the perfect addition to my title too!

Once I had my title set out how I wanted it to look, I began to add my photo and some of the cute embellishments from the Bella Blvd Alex collection...there are lots of pieces that reference gaming and boys in this collection so they had to be included on this layout!

The wood veneer pieces I added include a star burst and some arrows and I added some of the yellow puffy stars also by Bella Blvd. Stars and arrows never go astray on boy layouts! The flair and enamel dots are the only things I added as extras from my stash.

I finished this layout off with some Mister Huey's Warm Calico Mist (I use this a lot on my layouts).

Have you checked out the Sassy store lately? You can find the Bella Blvd Alex collection plus loads more gorgeous products in store now!

Happy creating!

See you next week!

Hello Bro | Bella Blvd Alex | Tarrah McLean

Happy Easter Sassy Scrappers!
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout that is a little more masculine than the ones I have been sharing lately!
I got a brand new box of goodies from the Sassy store this week and picked a few masculine pieces this time!

Having 2 sons and a hubby I am rather inundated with boy stuff so I thought I would share how to create some fun boy layouts as I know they can be difficult!

I have used some of the awesome Alex collection by Bella Blvd that you can find in the Sassy store.....I cut a funky background, available from Just Nick Studio, using one of the patterned papers and backed it onto white cardstock. I also turned some of the negative pieces upside down and filled them back in for a pop of blue throughout the layout. 

The Alex ephemera pack had perfect bits and pieces in it to embellish my layout, I also used one of the yellow Bella Blvd puffy star stickers but coloured it black and the Heidi Swapp wood veneer pieces added some great male touches too. A little splatter of Mister Huey's Warm Calico mist added the final touches! Sometimes you just have to not overthink a project....I often find it difficult to know when to stop when I create layouts, I think with masculine layouts you can get carried away but if you keep things fairly simple you should be fine!

I took my black pen and also outlined a few of those triangles to make them stand out a little more too!
Thank you so much for stopping by the Sassy blog today! I hope you are inspired to try some boy layouts?! You can find plenty of boy themed goodies in the Sassy store now...below are photos and links to what I have used for this layout!
Enjoy your Easter with your families! See you next week!
Happy creating!
