i hope you're ready for some bella blvd sneak peeks! we are starting our reveals today for the Winter CHA releases, and they will continue for a full two weeks!  

this is my first time being on the other side of a design team and the CHA planning. being the one that organizes and assigns ALL of the projects needed for the show. collecting all the project images and write-ups from the design team. planning and setting up the blog (remember, i write that entire blog now, which sometimes explains my absence here ;)). helping plan the new catalog. it's completely consumed me for the last month, and we still have so much more to do.

and you know what? i'm loving it! i have been so excited for this day to come, where we can start showing off all the amazing products and collections that stephanie has designed. and to give you peeks at what the design team is doing with these great products!  sooooo. you ready for the first collection reveal 🙂

the baby boy collection is so cute and colorful! i love the mix of blues, greens, browns, yellows, and oranges. perfect boy colors. there are so many great patterns in this collection. it's perfect for babies. and yet, even if you don't have a baby boy to scrap, there are so many patterns that can be used for everyday layouts as well. that's one of the biggest things i have loved about bella blvd since they came on the scene. such versital patterns and designs, that go with anything.

the design team is hard at work, finishing up projects for the booth this week. last weekend, i got to work on a ton of layouts for the catalog, which is what we will be sharing along with our reveals. i had such fun with this baby boy collection. i found a favorite photo of zachary to scrap. look how little he is there, at only 9 months old. he just turned 2 years old a few weeks ago, and he's such a big boy now. and yes, that title says "baby zack". i guess that should have said "zach", with an H. believe me, i will have more spelling mistakes stories to go with my projects. lol!

i just knew i had to use this chipboard monkey. i think he's so cute! and what is that he's holding in his left hand? that is one of bella's new flags! i'm super excited about these, and i just know you're going to love them.

one of the patterned papers has these colorful circles all over it, and they are the perfect fit with a 1.5" circle punch. i punched out a few and cut them in half, to line up by the top of the layout, as well as towards the bottom. see, these patterns are perfect for so many things. i'm loving the clouds!

you're going to see lots of brand new embellishments to the bella blvd family, popping up on some of my layouts. rest assured, you'll find out more about these soon 😉

head on over to the bella blvd blog, to see the entire baby boy collection, piece by piece. and make sure to leave a comment over there for the giveaway, for a chance to win-it-before-you-can-buy-it!
