i wish i had an amazingly witty intro to today's blog post. but i don't. i've been double blogging all these huge reveals, both here and on the bella blvd blog, for almost two weeks. i'm drawing blanks when it comes to my intro paragraphs lately 😉

on monday, we revealed some new patterned paper colors for the sophisticates collection, along with some new chipboard elements. well, today, it's all about the alphabet stickers. last CHA, bella blvd came out with their "quattrofina" alphabet stickers. i never really put the "quattro" part of that together, until stephanie pointed it out in one of her posts. quattro = 4, so there were 4 different sets of alphas on one sheet. well, how many do you think will be on this new style?

these are the brand new "high five" alphabet stickers. meaning, there are 5 different sets of alphas on each sheet. i really love that there is a variety of shades on each sheet. so you get the red and pink alphas together. you get orange and yellow together. you get white, grey, and black together. and the green and the blue sheet both have a few different shades of that color on them. i also love that you get different sizes and fonts together.

this was the last layout i made in my 2.5 day scrapping marathon. i think i made this at around 2:00am one evening. not sure that info is important enough to point out. but i wanted to mention it anyways. i knew i was working in some of the new sophisticates patterned papers (i choose blue), some of the new chipboard elements, and a lot of the high five alphabet stickers.

i used alpha stickers from three different color sheets for my title. i also used three different types/fonts/sizes of alph stickers. and i mixed in one of the new flags to take the place of the word "love".

i added the cute little chipboard tree, a few clouds, and also the yellow scalloped border by the title, using pop dots. all of the chipboard pieces are self-adhesive. meaning, they come with all the sticky adhesive on the backs already. peel and stick. however, i do like to adhere most of my chipboard pieces with pop dots. i just like the extra dimension it adds. i added a few little word stickers to the clouds, and added the year with some of the high five stickers. the green dot and red dot strips are the new designer tapes.

i added in some older papers from the original sophisticates collection. the "happiness" is from the tall tags patterned paper, and i just trimmed a large notch into the bottom to give it a "banner" sort of look to it. i also adhered that with pop dots.

head on over to the bella blvd blog, to see the entire sophisticates high five alphabet stickers reveal, 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!
