did you love the first collection reveal on the bella blvd blog yesterday? are you ready for the next one? yesterday, it was all about baby boy! did you come back, in hopes of seeing some baby girl? patience, my friends. it's coming 😉 but today, it's all about a new embellishment that's joining the bella product family!

buttons!!! i love and adore buttons! it's a little embarrasing as to how many buttons i own. but you know what? i always have room for more in my collections! i love what stephanie has come up with, and i'm really excited to have buttons to go with the rest of the bella products. i think the plastic buttons are my favorites, since the're all gorgeous colors. but the wood buttons are so fun too, with cute little designs on them. and you can never go with with the mixed button cards.

i started this layout by choosing a handful of buttons that i wanted to use, and then i pulled my colors from there. i loved the wood buttons, with the touches of red and black on them. then i added in some red and green buttons.

i added some yellow patterned paper onto my layout, mainly because i love the mix of red, green, turqouise, browns, and yellows. i honestly didn't even notice that the checkered button had a bit of yellow in with the black. not until i was editing these photos. love the little red heart button too!

i added the little black text button to the center of my "g" chipboard letter. it's the cutest thing, with the white text words across it.

i threaded all my buttons, before glue dotting them onto my layout. i sprinkled them diagonally across the page, which i think helps draw your eye from the top corner, across the photos of my girls, and down to the bottom corner of the page. love how it turned out!
