did you catch the second reveal on the bella blvd blog yesterday? if not, make sure and check it out! i'm sure you have seen this next embellishment pop up on most of the layouts i've been sharing for the last 2 weeks. well, yesterday was the day we revealed the entire collection of flags!

i'm really loving these little flags! there are so many to choose from, and there's pretty much a flag for anything you need. they are so much fun to stick behind things, or tuck under things, on your projects. i really do think you're going to love these!

i choose some patterned papers from the baby girl collection and the sunshine & happiness collection for this layout. i started by picking out a handful of flags, and then found papers with the same colors.

i love that there are so many flags to choose from. i pulled these flags out of lots of different packages. i knew i wanted to do a border of sorts with them, so i needed quite a few. i wanted them all to look like they were tucked back behind that aqua strip of paper.

i also choose some new chipboard elements to use. i adhered both of these hearts using pop dots.

after machine stitching my aqua strip of pattern paper, i adhered it across the page using lots and lots of pop dots. this raised up that paper, and allowed me to randomly tuck my flags behind the strip. most of the pins aren't actually going into anything. so i simply used a glue dot on the back of each flag, and the ends of the pins just rested behind the aqua strip.

head on over to the bella blvd blog, to see the entire flag collection 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!

i'm headed out tomorrow morning, to make my drive to CHA! i'm taking 20 completed projects with me, to add to the bella booth. i can't wait to see all of our designers work up close and in person. and i'll even get to meet a few of them as well. i'm looking forward to catching up with old and new scrapping friends. it's just fun to be immersed in the scrapping industry for a few days, where we all "get" each other. and i won't lie. i'm kind of glad to be getting away from this computer too. lol! there's still plenty of new stuff coming up next week. i have blog posts all scheduled for the bella blog, and my own. i'll try and check in when i can. and i'll see you all back here next week!
