Bella Blvd. "Wasn't Me!" layout on Wednesdays

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you my latest layout for Bella Blvd.  This is our 1 year old puppy, Diesel. What were we thinking leaving our leather couch outside?  Definitely not too smart and we found this out the hard way. But, it's a great way to get new furniture!! Anyway, I have always loved the colors in the Tail Waggers & Cat Naps collection.  You really don't even need to use it for dog or cat photos, it would be a great collection for all kinds of photos because the paper is so versatile on the prints. Just a few are geared specifically for dog or cat. I love to layer paper, especially with Bella's papers! So for this layout I cut some shapes, layered the papers, and then added a few die cut shapes to add some details. I added my title using the Alpha+Bits stickers and I couldn't resist using the "trouble maker" embellishment from the Chit Chat chipboard. The final touch was a bow made of ribbon and twine with.  a Bella Flag through it. Be sure to stop by the Bella Blog for more inspiration from some other designers.

Enjoy, Julie

Simple Stories Summer Fresh- July 1st release

Hey everyone, just stopping by to show you a look at the July 1st releases.  I just finished dying the crocheted flowers for the front cover and it reminded me that I haven't shown you whats coming up.  Have you ever wondered how I get those little extras to match perfectly?  Yep, I hand dye them, even the buttons!  So I'm typing away with bright red fingers right now. 

The July first release is definitely on of a kind!  Just received these fun new shapes and they are a perfect match for the Summer Fresh collection from Simple Stories.  The bright colors and fun stickers are perfect for all your sunny summer photos.  The album contains 6 custom chipboard pages and measures approximately 8 1/4 x 8 1/2. 

And for the two page layout there is something a bit different this month.  It's a two page layout plus a three card kit.  You will receive all the product to make the two page layout plus three cards with envelopes. Everything is precut all you have to do is assemble.  Full color instructions are included.

Thanks for stopping by!
