Hi

Hello! Today I'm continuing to share my spring fever card creations with you, this one made with a mix of Bella Blvd. stash. I started this project with this beautiful and colorful floral background paper from the Family Forever line and added a few accents from the Molly collection.

Also thrown in are some alpha stickers from the new Star Student collection and a Ciao Chip Accent from the Color Chaos line. Lots of goodies for lots of layers and dimension. This care actually makes me think of summer with the brighter colors. 

Monday Morning Challenge

Hello! It's another Monday and Bella Blvd. is challenging its designers and you to create a project using six of the border cut pieces! This can be quite a challenge to fit all six strips on an A2 size card, but here's what I came up with. 

(Buy Now $4 .99)

For this first card, I simply found six borders printed together from the Molly collection that I thought would make the perfect background for a girly girl kind of card. Flowers, cameras, polka dots, cupcakes, peace signs and stars make a super cool background, don't you think?

Next up...I got a little more creative this time around and used pennant and circle dies to cut out words and icons from the borders strips of the Classic Calendars collection for this 'love' card.

Whatever the day, month or season, love endures!

You and Me

I'm a very happy camper these days basking in the glorious spring weather we've been experiencing this week! The other day I sat in the sun while crocheting for a while, took of my shoes and listened to the birds singing. It felt so peaceful and...it was extraordinary! The little things really are the big things!

Today I have a couple Bella Blvd. cards to share with you using the new collections, Molly, Lucky Starz and Family Forever.

Layers, layers and more layers, I can't get enough!

Can I take a few secs to brag on Christopher? He's making his dad and I so proud! Seventh grade has been a bit of tough year for him and he's been struggling in his accelerated math class until recently.

Persistence has paid off! He's been walking in the door after school, smile on his face, paper in hand, excited to share his successes with us. Way to go dude! :)

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! :)

A Perfect Day for a Birthday

It's a glorious day in the neighborhood with the sun shining brightly and an expected temperature of 70 degrees! It's a perfect day for a birthday! My birthday! :) Thought I'd start my day playing with paper...the Molly collection from Bella Blvd.

This super girly line seemed like the perfect collection to play with on my big day! Cheerful, colorful and full of rad accents! 

Remember the icy flowering plum tree photo I showed you on Tuesday morning?

Here's the same tree this morning. I'm thrilled that the ice didn't ruin the flowers. It's  only in bloom for seven to ten days each year and I would really miss it! 

After taking photos of the tree, I turned around to see my big furry boy Latte settled in on the couch. Isn't he beautiful? And fluffy? Very very fluffy! ;)

Yes, it's the perfect day for a birthday! :)

Meet Molly

Max has a sister named Molly who might be boy crazy and obsessed with text messaging her friends, but deep down inside she wears an invisible crown and loves to sparkle and shine. She’s a tween, full of spunk and flair, obsessed with taking selfies and dancing all night with her girlfriends to her favorite playlist. Stay cool this winter with Molly from Bella Blvd.

Feast your eyes on these patterns and colors! I don't have a daughter, but I'm thinking this is collection perfect for Valentine and birthday cards, among other things!

Here's one of my collection favorites...the all new Candid Cards. Pretty awesome, don't you think?
