it's tuesday, which means i'm spending my last day over at CHA, walking the floor and taking all the new products in. i'll be making my drive back home late, late tonight. in the meantime, some more sharing!

over on the bella blvd blog, we are having an inspiration unlimited week feature! actually, you know we like to make our "week" features TWO weeks long, right? so that means for the next two weeks, we will be featuring lots of CHA projects using the new collections and products. each day we will spotlight a certain collection or certain embellishment collection. today is all about the sunshine & happiness collection.

this collection is a personal favorite of mine. i just love the bright colors and patterns! i knew i wanted to do something with the sun sticker, and create colorful "rays" coming out of it.

i started with the sun sticker, pop dotted on a scalloped edged sticker. i used a scrap piece of tracing paper, and drew the "rays" coming out from where i was going to place the sun. i used those as my template for cutting all my papers.

i won't lie. cutting those papers to fit together, and stitching along each ray took me forever. i'm sure it should have been simple to do. i tend to make things more work for myself.

i also cut a few clouds out of one of the patterned papers, to stick up in my "sky" on the top of the card. tucked in a fun "summer time" flag to finish off the card.

go check out the bella blog for some great sunshine & happiness projects from a few of our designers. they all put together some amazing projects, and i'm excited to finally be sharing them on the blog. i'll see you back here for some baby girl!
