Finally!!! Today is the day that we start our full collection reveals for CHA Summer on the Bella Blvd blog! CHA opens up a week from today in Las Vegas, and I have spend the last month working with these new collections and organizing all of the booth projects with our CHA designers. It's always hard to keep these things secret, when all you want to do is tell everyone about the fun new designs and show off what you've made with them. But the wait is now over, and we are revealing our first collection today!

I created this layout for the CHA Summer 2013 Supplement Catalog, using the Snapshots collection. While I have scrapped these photos of my friend Krista's daughter before, I just knew they would be perfect for this collection.

There's that cute camera paper! For me personally, sometimes the easiest way for me to use the busier patterned papers is to use them in small pieces. I also love using the Borders patterned paper, mixing in the borders with the border stickers from the Alpha+Bits sticker sheets.

I wanted to mix in a few of our more recent embellishments, so I slipped a light pink feather under the main photo and added a crochet heart to the center of the black die cut star.

I ended up using three of the 3×4 cards from the Daily Details paper on this layout. They fit perfectly into my clean and linear style.

I used a scalloped border punch on some white and black cardstock scraps to add between the photos and the papers along the sides of the layout.

I have another layout and a couple of cards with this collection as well that I will share next week.
