Hi, friends! It’s Jana Eubank. The mountains are my happy place! Before summer ended, my husband, daughter, and I took a quick getaway to one of my favorite lakeside, mountain towns, McCall, Idaho. I’m using the Bella Blvd. Lake Life collection to document my memories from this trip and have a new layout to share with you today.

Supplies | Bella Blvd. Lake Life collection: patterned paper, chipboard, stickers, die-cuts; Simple Stories Color Vibe cardstock; Spellbinders Gems

The best thing about traveling with a teen these days is that they are almost always willing to pose for photos (especially when they can use those photos for their social media!) We took a few photos together against this bright mural wall on the outside of a gift shop. I squealed with delight when I saw that the Bella Blvd. Lake Life collection matched our wall photos perfectly!

Because my photos are so bold, they almost act like embellishments on this layout. This led me to keep my paper choices simple. Bella Blvd. collections include so many beautiful tonal paper choices that made designing my background really easy. I placed one multi-colored floral strip across the top as an accent to tie everything together.

I kept the images in my embellishment clusters reasonably neutral as well. I created two floral groupings at the top of the page using a variety of die-cut Ephemera and Chipboard pieces. I added a little sparkle to these with some clear gems by Spellbinders.

One of my favorite embellishing techniques is to create scenes on my layouts. Bella Blvd. Ephemera die-cuts make this so fun and simple. At the bottom of my design, I added a little bear fishing next to a red A-frame cabin. So CUTE!

My final details include zig-zag stitching across the top of the red scallop border sticker and stitching around the edges of the yellow check paper.

I’m so happy with the way this layout came together! The Bella Blvd. Lake Life collection is bright and happy and matches the vibe of our mural photos perfectly. What family photos from the lake will YOU be scrapbooking with the Bella Blvd. Lake Life collection?

Thanks for coming by today! Have a creative week!
