Happy Birthday Bella Blvd!

Two of the new Bella collections for CHA are Birthday Boy and Birthday Girl. They are featured on the Bella Blvd blog today along with a loads of inspiration.


Here is a little bit of what I created with all the goodies...







I love this photo of my family skyping with Grandma and Grandpa Mac. I can't remember what everyone was exactly cracking up at, but I do remember there were some technical difficulties on the other end. Sometime all that techy stuff is such a srtuggle, but in this case well worth the effort in order to have them on the kitchen table at the party!

What's My Password?

Oh my! it has been so long since I posted that I almost forgot how to log onto blogger. But here I am back with some scrapbook fun.


Okay, as predicted I get a FAIL at completing the "31 Days". It was more like "One Day" for me. But give me a deadline and hold me accountable and I will deliver. And that is the case for the new Bella Blvd products for CHA. I was given the assignment of creating 6 layouts, and this week I am able to share them on the blog.


All this week on the Bella Blvd Blog there will be loads of inspiration with the new products. But today we start with some old favorites from Sophisticates mixed with the new Sienna Alpha.
Here is my take...


In the summer my daughter gets up to go to swim practice Monday through Friday. On most weekends she has meets. So that means she is up and at the pool at or before 9am almost every day of her summer vacation.


Yuck! you say. That's what I say too, especially since I am the rising with her early in the morn. But she would not have it any other way and never complains about the task.


So I created this layout about her practice schedule...

This layout seems a bit crooked don't you think?  Darn! But let's ignore that, and move on by looking at the great alphas Bella has to offer! The possibilities are endless to create any title.

 And all the chipboard!

Had to use some negative space on this layout and cut some days out of the calendar to fill with photos.

Wow it is good to be back! Stop back later this week for some more reveals. I will also be posting my layouts in my Two Peas gallery and tagging some of my favorite Bella layouts on my Pinterest Board
 But for now go over to the Bella Blvd blog to see more....
