Bella....

First up I want to say thank you for all the kind words and emails that I got after posting my last post....i really didn't expect the really wonderful response that I got....to be honest I expected people to say......duh! that is what scrapbooking is really about! but you all didn't and i got some wonderful emails from people as well...which was a real surprise and lovely to.

I have been asked a few times, by lots of different people about design teams, how to get on them and why do them...my answer to them would be and always has been.........think about it, it can take the fun out of a fun hobby and it can burn you out. it always is nice when the huge box turns up full of goodies....but then you have to use the same goodies over and over again for months and months.....it can be hard work...but also very rewarding...so just think long and hard before you go down that route.

anyway onto other things!!!! as i have lots to get though on this blog post.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Laura Vegas who runs the Bella Blvd design team. She asked if one of my pages that I put up on my two peas gallery a few months ago could be used in their online newsletter....and of course I said yes!

Here is the page that she asked for...

one that I need to go back and add some journalling too as this was taken on Christmas morning over a special pj Christmas breakfast.

I did this using a sketch from the magazine that I work for...you can see all the sketches here....
and here is the sketch that I used...I used my Cameo to cut out all the circles!


I also have some other projects to show you today...last month Papermaze started putting together some kits....they are being released every month...this is last months kit...

this is one side...


and then this is the other side...


this one sold out very quickly and I mean really quickly lol! we have added some more to the website, and you can find them here.

I made some projects with this kit to show case it...


and some close ups...

and I also made a card...

the new April kit is due to go up for sale in a few days...here is a sneak of it...

Anyway thanks for popping in!
