Book Fiend / Bella Blvd

I know I won't be alone in this. I have seen many of you post pictures on FaceBook of your own children lost in a book. I have two book fiends. They are both incredibly voracious readers. We can't keep them stocked in books. Fortunately, both of mine are happy to read books more than once. They have to. There just enough books with suitable content for either one of them to have fresh material all the time!

This is HER book love layout. The most recent one any way. There are plenty of them already. With plenty more to come, I'm sure. Her latest love is her Kindle. And given the hot pink Otterbox that protects it, this collection from Bella Blvd provided just the complimentary colors and the matching hot pink! I love the Snapshots collection!

I love white backgrounds, they really let the color of patterned papers stand out and shine. I used the same font to cut out book over and over again and backed each "opening" with a different patterned paper from the collection. You can see on the left hand side of the page that I also used a few tone on tone flowers for some subtle visual interest to the page.

I love this layout but the above embellishment cluster is really my favorite part of it. Title work aside. Using the patterned papers from Bella Blvd for die cutting is easy with the tone on tone patterns. They are so diverse, the look great in large sheets where the pattern really stands but they are also perfect in little cut up bits where the pattern almost becomes texture to the smaller bits. Love the versatility!

Fussy cutting! I always find myself fussy cutting something from Bella Blvd collections. Though there are always so many wonderful complimentary embellishments, die cuts and stickers, I like the unique touch that fussy cutting affords me. Like that flower.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for HIS latest reading layout. Also created using Bella Blvd with the exception of one piece of patterned paper! Thanks for stopping in today!

Brilliantly bright - and the repetition of the word 'books' is inspired. We have bookworms here too :).
