Cherish Altered Canvas Blocks {Bella Blvd.}

Happy Tuesday!

Today, I thought I would share the canvas blocks I created for Bella Blvd. I love working with canvas for all occassions. They can make for beautiful home decor, simply using papers, and of course, your memories. The following were created with the new release called the Baby Girl collection. There was an entire week dedicated to this collection, so {click here} for inspiration from the other design team members.

Cherish Canvas Blocks

I love the color pink, and how cute is that baby in the middle?? She belongs to one of my friends, and thought she was absolutely perfect for this project. Thank you Katrina!

The blocks are 6x6, and would be a perfect addition to a baby's nursery. If you do not have babies to scrapbook, this collection does have basic patterns that would be perfect for spring, Valentine's Day, or even Easter. 

Here are a few more details:

On this first canvas, cherish was cut using a Cricut cartridge. I want to say it was the Sophisticated Cartridge by Teresa Collins. I have said this before, but it is my favorite right now! I used several of the patterned papers to create simple color blocking, and a white border that resembles lace. Well, to me anyway(; I dressed punched flowers with the new crochet flowers from Bella Blvd, and a sweet stick pin. Again, part of this collection.

You might see a hint of vellum on there, too!

Sweet Macie really can stand alone on this project, so I used very little embellishments on this canvas. Now, I will admit I am not a big fan of altering photos with embellishments. For example, pictures with crowns on the heads, or flowers on the hair. Again, this is not something I like to do, but here I broke my own rule. A simple crochet flower, and tulle are used on the photo itself. I did use a sweet quote from the sticker sheet right along the bottom.

On this last canvas, I used the playful paper with all the sweet animals, and the purple gingham pattern. Another large punched flower, layered on top of a simple white doily.


I really like the sweet monkey found throughout this collection. So, I used the circle sticker as the final embellishment in the center of the bloom. I did tuck in some pink tulle on here, too.

The final detail are the hearts that I stitched together to create a heart banner along the top of the canvas. I did forget to mention that I painted the outsides with a coordinating pink acrylic paint. I obviously covered the front of them with paper, using a very strong adhesive. This collection begins shipping March 15!!

Thank you for taking a peek at my project, and hope your day is wonderful! Mine will be spent at the car wash, mall, and I have an appointment later on in the afternoon! So I better get going(; Thanks for stopping by today!
