Bella Blvd. Inspiration Unlimited Week

Welcome to day two of the Bella Blvd. Inspiration Unlimited Week! Great to have you stop by! Today we're revealing projects made with the oh so awesome Sunshine & Happiness collection!

Just like you, I can't wait to get my hands on this new line! With a limited amount of supplies, we designers didn't get to work with everything new. So...instead of showing you sample projects of this collection, I'm going to show off some Winter Wonder projects that I created for CHA.

You probably know by now just how much I adore Winter Wonder! I've made lots of projects with it and I never run out of ideas or inspiration to create more!

If you dropped by yesterday, you may remember me saying how much I love the Miniatures stickers. Can you tell on this project that I went a little crazy with them? ;)

Here's one of the new Flags that Bella Blvd. is debuting at CHA right now. I can tell already that these are going to be just as popular with me as the Miniatures!

Look, a Flag on this project too! I told you they are going to be showing up on a lot of my projects...I just love 'em!

If you would like to see some project samples of the Sunshine & Happiness line, hop over to the Bella Blvd. blog and you will be dazzled with a few!

I hope I've done my job to inspire you! And show you how awesome the Bella Blvd. collections are. They're truly a lot of fun to craft with!

Bella Blvd. Inspiration Unlimited Week

This week while Bella Blvd is in California at the CHA Trade Show debuting all the brand new products that we revealed over the past two weeks, the design team is going to share with you our projects, projects and more projects of everything new! Each day we will be featuring one of the new Collections and/or Embellishment products and showing you some great ideas! So, get ready for a fun energy boost ... here we go!

First up the Baby Boy collection...'It's a Boy' card...

This new Baby Boy collection is absolutely precious! I'm smitten over these adorable little onesies and the gray chevron paper!

I'm also thrilled to see that Bella Blvd. kept the Miniatures because I absolutely adore these little photo turn/banner stickers!

I have to tell you that it was so much fun to play with this new line that it brought out the best in my work! I adore this page of my son when he was wee and this giraffe is so stinkin' cute!

That monkey is just about as adorable as the giraffe!

I'm giddy that this scrapbook page made it into the Bella Blvd. catalog! Yippee! Fun stuff!

I just had to fussy cut some of these little onesies and hang them on a line! Had to! Just had to! ;)

So, what do you think of my Baby Boy projects? I really hope you felt inspired by them! Remember that the Bella Blvd. blog has more projects to show you! And each design team member has projects posted on their blogs too.

This is going to be one awesome week!

Butterfly Card

Hello!

Happy Sunday! It's a beautiful day here in North Carolina. What's it like your area? It's been a pretty mild winter so far all over the U.S. I don't know about you, but I like it!

Today I have a happy, colorful card I made with Doodlebug Design's Colorwheel collection.

I don't know if you can tell from my photos that the white embossed portion of my card is lifted with adhesive foam tape along with the floral scalloped die cut circle.

I love yellow, it's so bright and sunny! And this glittery flower is giving my card some sparkle along with a couple gems.

To give this butterfly sticker dimension, I folded the wings up from the body and then added a bit of adhesive foam underneath. That makes it look like my butterfly has just landed or is about to take off again.

I hope you enjoyed my card share and that it makes your day just a little bit brighter!

I'd love it if you join me tomorrow because I finally get to show you my Bella Blvd. projects that are at CHA. Oh, I wish I were there! How about you?

Everyday Moments

Hi!

This is my second post for the day...please scroll down to see Bella Blvd. Sneak Peek. There's a giveaway you don't want to miss!

Last weekend I had some time to scrap just for the fun of it! I decided to create a scrapbook page using supplies other than the collections from my design team gigs. I had some old Fancy Pants "My Family" patterned paper and challenged myself to create with that.

I love to scrap the everyday stuff....the small things we would not remember years later. This is my hubs Dan reading the paper at the kitchen table with our cat Latte standing on the table next to him. Latte's wanting a little attention, don't you think? ;)

I spent a bit of time creating tags, rosettes and adding stitching to my page. Love details!

I used the Silhouette to create half of the title and the scalloped circle. Border punches were used for the bottom of the page.

Other embellishments include buttons, brads, washi tape and die cut butterflies.

I really enjoyed tinkering around with this page. I hope you like it! Thanks for popping in!
