Birthday Boy

Remember this Birthday Boy collection from Bella Blvd? It's so colorful and adorable and I still have a lot of it left so I thought I'd create a fun card to share with you today. 

(Buy Card Now - $4.99)

This sentiment makes me think of Christopher as he's rapidly growing lately and close to becoming as tall as I am! These past 14 years have flown by and I just can't believe my little guy is starting high school in the fall! Isn't time a funny thing? Sometimes it seems to creep by so slowly and at other times, years seem to pass by in the blink of an eye! 

Enjoy them while they're small before they are as tall as you! 

Welcome March

Hi!

March has arrived! The month we say goodbye to winter and hello to spring, my favorite time of year! And I celebrate a birthday this month! How many of you have March birthdays too?

How about a birthday card share to celebrate? I created this greeting with Bella Blvd's Birthday Boy collection. Oh how I love these colors, patterns and that 'Eat cake' flag! I'll be eating as much birthday cake as I can this month! ;)

Now I'm running off to breakfast with hubs. He's taken the day off so we can spend some time together this weekend while Christopher is at camp. Hope you enjoy your weekend too!

Party

Hello!

Anyone celebrating a birthday today? Or know someone who's birthday is this week? Since there's no shortage of birthday's going on at any given time, I like to create lots of birthday cards.

This card was created with Bella Blvd's Birthday Boy collection. With all the festive Ciao Chip accents, Button Market styles and a fun little Flags, it's easy to create a party of a card!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day! :)

Happy Birthday Dan

T.G.I.F!

It's a very special Friday because my better half and the man of our home is having a birthday! Happy Birthday honey!

I created this card for the occasion.

I wanted to keep it on the masculine side and do something a little fun and different.

I altered a Silhouette cut to create the background of Dan's card.

What do you think? It's been growing on me. At first I wasn't sure that the busy striped background patterned paper was quite right, but I'm liking it more and more.

I used Bella Blvd's Birthday Boy collection. You know you really love a line when you make a personal card, can use anything you want and still use a collection from one of your design team gigs. :)

Well, I hope you all have a great Friday! Thanks for visiting! :)

Eat Cake

Hi!

I'm glad you're here! I have a lot to share with you today! Over at Love My Tapes blog I have a Christmas card posted and at write. click. scrapbook. I'm hosting Technique Week for the next five days starting today with my secrets and tips for hand stitching. If you have ever wondered how I stitch my projects, or what I use, the answers are all there waiting for you! :)

Today on this blog I have a mini album to show you using the new Bella Blvd. Birthday Boy collection. This album was created for summer CHA. See the little curly ribbon? That's actually Designer Tape, folded in half lengthwise and wrapped around a pencil!

I had the best time making this mini with all the brightly colored and fun Birthday Boy products! And what a stroll through memory lane pulling up all these birthday photos of Christopher! I love having all these pictures in one album!

To see more Birthday Boy projects, head on over to the Bella Blvd. blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! :)

Birthday Party

It's Bella Blvd's fourth birthday this month so we're celebrating the happy occasion with birthday projects!

I  used the brand new Birthday Boy line to create this festive scrapbook page of our dear son's 10th birthday.

I'm loving all the presents, cake and party hats! 

To add a little more party pizzazz, I created streamers with the Bella Blvd. Designer Tape.

Just cut a strip of your favorite color/style Designer Tape, fold in half lengthwise and wrap tightly around a pencil.

Making streamers from decorative tape is a piece of cake and adds extra dimension and fun! :)

I hope you can make it over to the party at the Bella Blvd. blog where there's a lot more birthday inspiration

Thanks so much for popping in!

Happy 4th Birthday Bella Blvd!

Guess who turns four this month? That's right, Bella Blvd! My post title gave it away, huh? :)

In honor of this special occasion, design team members have created some birthday projects for the Bella Blvd. blog this week using the new Birthday collections!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Bella Blvd, happy birthday to you! A birthday calls for music notes!

And frogs? ;)

With all the excitement of new product being released for CHA, I neglected to notice one of my favorite products is not being continued! Oh no! Yep, no more Miniatures Stickers, like this party hat and 'brother' phrase. I'd snatch some up before they're all gone!

Love all the bright colors and whimsical designs of the birthday collections!

Presents, candles and music notes, oh my!

This 'good times' Silhouette die was on my desk, left over from another project...hey looks good on this card!

If you have a couple minutes, head over the the Bella Blvd. blog for the birthday bash. There's a lot of fun and inspirational projects and there just might be a prize or two?

Have a great day and week. I'll be back tomorrow with another birthday project.
