i thought i would share some bella blvd stuff today. i hope you're all reading the bella blog, since i spend a lot of time blogging over there every day 😉 we've had lots of great stuff going on over there.

stephanie included this layout of mine, in her "friday's with stephanie" post today. bella is re-printing pattern paper for the first time ever, with their most requested and in-demand "cupcake paper". i have another layout using the cupcake side of the paper, that will be featured as a free step-by-step project sheet, coming soon. for this layout, i used the candle side of the paper.

we've been doing design team introductions all week long, and we'll be continuing it for most of next week as well. you can get to know each of our TWENTY-ONE new design team members, learn some fun random facts about each of them, see a few of their projects, and get links to check out their blogs.

we are taking monday, october 3rd, off from the design team introductions. but that's just because we have two BRAND NEW MINI COLLECTIONS to announce! these will be limited edition collections, and they'll start shipping out on october 24th. i have a box of the brand new product arriving tomorrow, and i'll be creating with it this weekend, so i can help show it off on monday 😉

we've also started doing some "saturday sketches" on the blog. twice a month, we will have a new sketch, and a handful of our designers will create layouts and cards based off them. we love to see everyone's takes on the sketches, so please share with us if you try it out. you can see the first two HERE, and HERE.
