Quarterback-20 min challenge! / Bella Blvd DT

Good morning everyone!! 

I'm excited this morning with the assignment I have today. My assignment was to make a layout in no more then 20 minutes and I did that. I gathered everything I wanted to use, sat down and set my timer. I have to say that I love challenges of all kinds, I set myself another one to go along with this challenge. I guess know I only had 20 minutes, setting specific colors also made it easier for me lol.

 

I started my layout with white cardstock, I had picked my picture already, so I mated it, added a few layers. I got stuck a bit at this point, I wanted to sew some circles on the background, but that would take to much time, so instead I drew circles in black and grey on the background. Then I had a place for all my embellishments to go.

 

 I pulled stickers from the football collection and placed them around the circles, pulled out the cute little puffy start stickers and placed them here and there. I played with everything, moving stickers around, until I was happy with where everything was. Popped some of them up on 3d adhesive and left the rest flat.

 

I added my title, coming off the left hand side of the photo, tucked a few pieces of ephemera under layers, then decided that I wanted something else for the white cardstock to sit on, so I trimmed it down, matted it on a pieces of patterned paper from the Football collection, ruffed up the edges and was done in 18 minutes and 24 seconds.

I hope you like this layout and maybe even play along and see what you can do in just 20 minutes too!!

Good morning everyone!! Sarah here this morning sharing a layout I made using Bellas Football collection!

This layout didnt quite go as I planned. Most of the time when Im making layout I'll stick with a white background, I just feel like it gives me a blank canvas to play on and keeps things bright, I do use full patterned/colorful backgrounds too, but usually white, and this layout happened to be one of those times!

I did pull out white card stock to start out with. I grabbed my Boarders&Details paper and cut some layers for behind my photo, even a boarder strip that had some footballs on it but it was looking to plain at this point for me so I went back in and started laying my photo and its layers on other papers from this collection and found this one and was so happy I did!!

I was way happier with this as my background and continued to build from there. I cut a star out of one of the papers and tucked it behind the left side of my photo and its layers and then decided I was going to add a little bit of white card stock to this layout. So I cut out a circle, popped up my photos and its layers on some 3D foam and laid it on top of my white circle.

I grabbed the ephemera pack and the fundamentals sticker sheet and started to add pops of red, blue and green around my layout. I popped some up on 3D phone to add some more dimension and I also decided I was going to run my fingernail under the side of my papers to add a little more texture to my layout. 

I got my title, that I added in the center bottom of my photo from the ephemera pack as well and popped it up on more 3D foam, along with a football. I added another football to the upper right of my layout with some stars and other ephemera pieces for another embellishment cluster.

I tucked a larger ephemera piece, with a football helmet on it, behind my photo so that it was sticking out and could still be seen and added a tab as well. I liked that this brought more of the colors in that I wanted and I also liked that it had a big helmet on it too! I wanted a little more texture on my layout and I have a bunch of these adorable puffy stars and of course they match perfectly, so I grabbed my puffy stars in the colors that matched and I tucked them in here and there all around the layout and that finished it off for me. I had fun changing it up a little bit from my norm and I loved how this layout turned out!
