How About a Crafty Challenge?

For those of you crafty folks who enjoy a good challenge, how about taking one from Bella Blvd. to mix and match several of your favorite collections?  I found it pretty fun and easy to do this with the new Max, Molly, Family Forever and Lucky Starz collections because Stephanie designs these lines to coordinate perfectly!

Yes indeed, I used all four of the latest Bella Blvd. collections for each design...one girly and one masculine...they all work so well together, don't you think? Which will make you one successful paper crafter! :)

Bella Blvd's Friday Sketch

Would you believe Christopher is turning 13 next month? My little baby? How is that possible?!?! I'm sure all you mamas out there know the feeling! 

Today on the Bella Blvd. blog there's a Friday card sketch for you along with some pretty awesome interpretations from my teammates! I thought I'd use the sketch and the hip new Max and Lucky Starz collections to make Christopher's birthday card. 

Happy Birthday Christopher! You're our super star! 

FYI...for those of you who can't resist a good sale, both these collections are 14% off at amazon! Makes you feel like it's your birthday, doesn't it? ;)

T.G.I.F! 

Weird Weather

Just a few days ago we were snowed-in and I created this scrapbook page. Then yesterday it reached 70 degrees and I saw a young lady walking down our street with shorts on, a sleeveless shirt, sunglasses and sandals! It's hard to wrap your mind around that sort of thing...just days ago seeing the kids playing in the snow! 

Christopher thoroughly enjoyed the snow! He threw snowballs, went sledding, made a snow plow with his dump truck and helped his dad clear the driveway and build a snowman. The next day it rained and the weather started to warm...not so good for the snowmen!

Here's how we found Christopher's snow-guy...doing a face plant with a cracked open head! Ouch! Our neighbors' snow people were not fairing well either! It was funny to see them all on our way to breakfast Saturday morning! Some of them were standing but missing their heads!

I created this Snow Adventures page with Bella Blvd's new Max collection for tween boys. Just a few snowflakes turned this line into the perfect snow themed collection. :)

Meet Max

It's reveal week at Bella Blvd...time to share the latest, greatest to debut at CHA in just a few short days. 

Max is seriously cool! He’s too old for toys, but totally interested in his new guitar and creating the perfect playlist to jam to. Instead of focusing on his homework Max dreams of being a rock star, going hunting with his friends someday, and even beginning high school with all the pretty girls. Chill out with Max from Bella Blvd.

I'm seriously excited about getting my hands on this collection...think of all the scrapbook pages I can create for Christopher who will be turning thirteen this April!

What's my favorite paper in the collection? Sketchbook...I think this pattern includes everything that makes Max awesome!
