Today we are revealing our forth new collection on the Bella Blvd blog. Daily Chevies & Everyday Bits is a super colorful collection. There are the large chevon patterns, which we have also seen in other colors spinkled into other collections over the last year, in 6 new colors. I love the monocramatic look of the chevron design, and was excited to see Stephanie mix in a few colors that I suggested.

I used quite a bit of color blocking on my layouts this time around. Love the look and it fits my style. I printed out this cute photo of my friend Krista and her family as a 6×6" photo, and built around it with the papers.

I also kept with the monocramatic look with my embellishments. Using some white/grey buttons on the white/grey diamond paper, and yellow heart buttons on the yellow heart paper.

The chipboard "Family" letters are from an older Ciao Chip Elements set, but the colors matched perfectly with the striped paper. I love that so many of the colors throughout the Bella collections coordinate together, even with the older products.

I thought the "Welcome To My Life" pie chart card was a fun one, and would tie in nicely with the photo. I added a chipboard heart piece to the center of the pie chart, to get a bit more pink on the layout. Then I used the tiny alpha stickers from the High Five alphabet sticker sheets to journal on the right side. I coordinated the sticker colors with the color they represented on the pie chart. I did have to dig into some yellow letter stickers from another manufacturer, since Bella doesn't have the tiny alphas in yellow.

I lined up my four pieces of chevron paper along the bottom, so that it keeps the perfect chevron design all the way across and the chevrons line up. I then added a coordinating crochet heart to the center of each piece.
