Bella Blvd Endless Inspiration Week & My CHA Lead-in

With the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) semi-annual trade show underway, Bella Blvd has begun the first of two Endless Inspiration weeks on the Bella Blvd blog. Be sure to check back every day to see projects created with the new lines! 


I'm just back from ten days of vacation in California and am still playing catch-up today, but should be back to all things normal as of tonight. Stay tuned, as my plan for the next three days is to do some CHA Armchair Attendee blogging.

 

Bella Blvd Sneak Peek Week, Day #5

Today is Day #5 of  Sneak Peek Week on the Bella Blvd blog. Each day this week, Bella Blvd will be giving away one full set of that day's reveal. Be sure to click on over to the Bella Blvd blog today and every day this week to check it out!

Up today are all of the embellishments, so there's lots to see! You've already seen these embellishments included in the Birthday Boy, Thankful, and Birthday Girl collections revealed earlier this week, but today you get to see them lined up with like embellishments from earlier releases...and...with sample layouts!

First up are the Designer Tapes. Bella Blvd released eight different Designer Tapes last winter and six more are being added!

 
I am thrilled about the Orange Stripe Designer Tape (I'm a sucker for anything orange) and am also excited that there are now three different chevron Designer Tapes!

Next up? Button Market:

See that? Six new sets of buttons!

Stick Pin Flags come next:

Six new sets here, too. If you missed my post with the Thankful reveal on Tuesday, I will repeat how much I love that cute turkey! :)

Last, but not least, are the Sienna Uppercase Chipboard Alphas:

I love how the sample layouts combine the different Bella Blvd alphas to create fun and colorful titles and journaling.

Happy 4th of July!

I have a rather lengthy 4th of July blog post up as part of the Summertime Dailies at write.click.scrapbook. today, so I won't blather on and on here. Feel free to click over there to hear my take on scrapbooking about history.

I will, however, share here one of the layouts from that post:

To those of you reading this from the U.S., happy Fourth of July!
