I've been sharing a bunch of my CHA layouts that I created for Bella Blvd lately, so I thought I would switch gears and share a few cards today. Of course, I went to edit the photos of my cards, and realized they all seemed a bit blurry. Guess that should teach me to check my photos before packing everything up and shipping them off 🙂

I created these two cards using the new Snapshots collection. I liked the fun little houses that fill up one of the sheets of patterned paper, but I honestly have a hard time using patterns like that. So I thought I would fussy cut one of the houses out and use it on a card. s

I used a mix of alphas for my sentiment. The "new home" alpha stickers came from the Snapshots Alpha+Bits sticker sheet, and the "congrats" and "on your" came from a few sheets of High Five alpha stickers.

I knew I wanted to use the polaroid frame from the Paper Pieces die cuts on a card. I backed the open part of the frame with the cloud patterned paper, and also added a little piece of the yellow heart paper behind the open heart on the bottom of the frame. I machine stitched around the frame, and then added a few phrase stickers to the frame as well.

A few chipboard alphas in the center of my frame, along with the "friend" stickers from the Alpha+Bits sticker sheet finished made up my sentiment.
