and last, but certainly not least. my very favorite layout i created for CHA. i made this for bella blvd, using their new "socialite" collection.

i based this entire layout around that monthly calendar. there are a few sheets of the pattern paper that can be cut down, into calendar and planner type blocks. and the calendar was just what i needed to do a layout about our busy, crazy lives.

there's also a sheet of paper that has all the days of the week, months, and other fun things in little blocks. i cut out the seven days of the week, and tucked them all behind my title block.

i knew i had little mini brads in all these great colors. adding a few to the centers of the flowers on this pattern paper adds a subtle touch of interest.

i really liked this monthly calendar, that was cut from one of the pattern paper sheets. i didn't trust myself to actually hand journal on it. so i typed up my journaling on vellum, so that it fit the space, and then stapled it on.

there's those gorgeous chipboard alphas. in red, with text on them. so cool. they have these great sticker alpha sheets in 12×12. each sheet has 3 different sets of alphabet stickers. i love having those coodinating choices, all on one sheet. 

thanks for sticking around and letting me share some of my projects with you. i love my job, and getting to play with brand new product that no one has seen yet. but it's hard to keep these  projects to myself too. by the time you're reading this post, i'm back home from CHA and working on a project that is due tomorrow. it never ends. which is a very good thing 😉

    As always, I love your work! You are truly an inspiration… I keep recommending you to Big Picture! 🙂 I LOVE the brads in the flowers, I noticed that right off and will have to try that technique… great way to use up some brads, or even eyelets! You are SO lucky to be able to do this as a job! I’m sure sometimes it makes you even crazy busier, but know that your loyal followers LOVE your work and checking in with you daily to see what you’ve created!!! We appreciate all the work it takes not only to make the layouts, but also to take the photos, upload, and blog!!! We ❤ you for that!! Thank you!!

    I agree with Carla and Marilyn they both said what I was going too. Hopefully you don’t get tired of all these compliments and hearing how awesome your page is again. You have done an amazing job on these and it’s no wonder they keep asking you to do layouts for them. My husband even saw this page from across the room and said WOW WHO DID THAT ROCKIN PAGE, I said you know laura vegas and he said that’s right you love her pages. Then he had to come and look closer and said again how amazing it was, just so you know he NEVER does that to my pages.
    I love the clear buttons and the little brads you added. Thanks again for an inspiring 4 days.
