A Little Bella Blvd

The recent design team call from Bella Blvd and a huge supporting push from my man, got me scrapping again and the mojo flowing. For the first time in the last couple years, I've been feeling the itch to create again and it feels great! A lot of the manufacturers go with the bigger names in the industry and that was expected so when I didn't receive the call/email, I have to say I wasn't surprised but it just felt good to get my creativity flowing again! Time to share what I submitted:

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and I'm going to try and keep this blog thing updated. I know I've said that before but hopefully this time, it's for real!

 



Sketch Support February Two Pager

Last week was the February two page sketch on the Sketch Support Blog. My take on the sketch was up on Friday and it was great to see all the different takes on the sketch.

Here's the two page sketch from Sketch Support:

Since I rarely do two page layouts, I converted the above sketch to a single page and made a few variations. For a complete list of variations, visit the Sketch Support site.

Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper: Bella Blvd; Letter Stickers: Basic Grey; Die Cut Letters: Cricut; Stamps: Kaiser Craft and Papertrey Ink; Flower: Sassafras Lass; Tag Sticker: Jillibean Soup; Punch: Fiskars

All Smiles with Bella Blvd

I can't believe how quickly December is going. I shouldn't be all that surprised since it seems to go that way every year. It's so hard to believe my little baby is going to be 2 on the 18th of this month.

Feeling a little reminiscent, I created this layout of my little guy when he was 9 months old. He was always so smiley and would make others around him smile. Now he does that with his goofy antics!

I love using these ticket stamps and dies from Papertrey. Just by switching the ink and stamps up, you have a different embellishment every time.

Here I mixed Doodlebug and Jillibean Soup letters to make a fun title on a custom title banner.

Best Buddies

I've been so busy with Christmas related projects (cards and gifts) that I haven't had much to post lately. I did create this layout a week ago and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Mason and his best friend Liem love hanging out and sharing a plate of food together. These pictures are from way back in May and they make me miss my little guy's mohawk so much! Should I cut it like that again? I'm trying to let it grow out a bit for him but dang...I love that mohawk!

Oh and keep checking in because I have some exciting news to share....I just can't share it yet!
