Authentique Loyal collection...May release

Wow, I can't believe how time flies!  It's almost May 1st and I haven't given you a look at the upcoming releases yet.  I won't keep you waiting any longer.  May is all about Boy's, their buddies, brothers, cousins, a boy and his dog, or even photos of Dad from his childhood.  This release is so versatile for all your masculine photos and it's designed using the Loyal collection from Authentique.  Your going to love the quality and design of their papers. It's thick with a linen feel and their sticker sheets won't disappoint either.  Each kit has a full sheet of words and alphabets to customize your projects to match your photos and theme.

Here is a look at the mini album.  This mini album is one of our exclusive books, has six chipboard pages, and measures approximately 5 1/2 x 10 1/4. 

And here are the coordinating two, 2 page layouts...

Kits will be available on the website Tuesday, May 1st.  Enjoy!

Bella Blvd. layouts on Wednesdays and Page Maps

Today is layouts on Wednesdays over on the Bella Blvd. blog and here is a look at my latest layout.  Easter is this weekend so it's fitting to share with you another Easter layout.  Spring Flings and Easter Things is such a cute and fun collection to work with, I just can't get enough of it.  Be sure to stop by the Bella Blog to get all the details of this layout and some inspiration from some of the other designers.

I also had the privilege of designing this layout for the April Page Maps.  Some of the Bella Blvd. designers teamed up with Page Maps to bring you some really awesome sketches and layouts.  When I received this assignment I had just received a new box of goodies from Bella Blvd. so, of course, I couldn't wait to start using all my new products.  I designed this 8 1/2 x 11 layout using the All Inclusive collection with Bella's latest Sunshine & Happiness collection.  I'm an embellishment freak so I had to add one of Bella's new vacation flags, a button from the Masculine mix, a Juniper crocheted flower, and a new favorite...Designer tape!  I tore pieces of tape from the Teal Stripe and Yellow Chevron.  The tape was so easy to use and I love the look. Be sure to stop by Page Maps to see the other sketches and layouts.  You won't be sorry you did.  There is some really great sketches this month. 

Enjoy, Julie.
