Opps. I got behind in my blogging. I was doing so well last week. This week, and for the next two weeks, we are sharing each and every booth project for CHA Summer over on the Bella Blvd blog. I've had quite a few go up this week, so I'll be sharing my remaining projects here and there over the next week or two.

This was one of the last layouts I created for my CHA work, and honestly, it took me the longest to get going. Not sure why. It's such an adorable photo of my friend Krista's oldest daughter. And I had the super fun Snapshots collection to work with. Sometimes there's just too much good product to choose from, that you're not sure where to start.
After much thinking, re-arranging, shuffling, I finally got an idea started. I trimmed down the ruled patterned paper to about 11×11, and matted it on the floral patterned paper. I then added long strips of the aqua diagonal stripe designer tape along all four sides, and machine stitched along the edges.
I knew I wanted to use the "random thoughts" journaling card, to pick up the blue in Kaitlyn's outfit. And since there are so many fun patterned papers in the collection, I decided to use quite a few of them i small amounts. I cut small pieces from several papers and layered the papers behind the photo to create a frame.
The "love you more" heart is from the Paper Pieces die cut pack. I adhered it with pop dots, tucking a feather behind it and adding a white crochet heart to the heart.
I added a few border pieces, stickers, and some threaded buttons sprinkled on here and there to finish it off.
Make sure and stop by the Bella Blvd blog to find a ton of project inspiration from our CHA designers using the new collections.
