It's day three of our Sneak Peek week over on the Bella Blvd blog, and we're revealing our third new collection for CHA Summer. Monday, we introduced you to the Birthday Boy collection. You might have guessed that this next collection was on it's way as well 🙂

Birthday Girl is a fun, totally girly, collection. Lots of pink and purple, and touches of yellows, greens, and teal. The new Designer Tapes that coordinate with this collection are amazing! You'll see lots of chevron, polka dots, and stripes in the tapes, and they're fun, bright colors. I love that there are also new flags, and new buttons to match each of our new collections.

I dug quite deep for these photos from Sarah's 2nd birthday. I have plenty of birthday's that I haven't gotten around to scrapping yet. But the majority of our birthday parties have been swimming parties, where all of my photos are of wet little girls in swimsuits. Lol. I knew I wanted some really cute photos for this layout, and these photos were perfect.

Loving the music note paper! We're huge music lovers in this house, and I already have lots of ideas for this paper. I think my girls might too 😉 The other side of the paper is a tone-on-tone pink music note pattern.

I used a few torn pieces of designer tape on either side of my smaller photo, and added a tiny staple to each one to secure it. It's just a fun and different way to use designer tapes.

I was spreading out my pack of chipboard alphas over a lot of projects, so I had to be choosey with the letters i used on this layout. So I used a mix of letter stickers and the chipboard alphas for my title.

I cut quite a few flowers from the Cute Cuts paper, and did a little random machine stitching in the center of each flower. I adhered them all using pop dots, and then bent up the petals on the flowers to add a little interest to them. I embellished the flower with stickers and buttons.

Now, head on over to the Bella Blvd blog, where you can see the Birthday Girl collection in full, piece by piece. Don't forget to leave a comment on the Bella blog today, where we are giving one lucky reader a chance to win the Birthday Girl collection before you can even buy it! Check on back here tomorrow, along with the Bella blog, where we will be showing off the newest embellishments, along with more catalog layouts ;)
