Be merry...

Hello crafty friends! 

It's Tuesday and it's a special Tuesday because it's also my birthday! I thought about making a birthday card for my 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store creation in honor of the big day but I'm just having too much fun with Christmas cards to stop now. So instead I grabbed the Sing Hello stamp set from TGF and colored up this adorable winter kiddo. She's one of the My Kids, whom I love. Something about them looks like squishy, soft marshmallows and I just want to pinch their round cheeks. She was perfect with the fun and colorful prints in the Santa Stops Here paper pad from Bella Blvd. The two came together into a little shaker card in no time!    

Now don't forget the monthly challenge over on the 7 Kids blog. There is plenty of time to get creative and enter in for a chance to win the $20 gift certificate!

Bella Blvd sneak peeks!

With summer CHA only about a week away the sneak peeks for new paper and goodies are really starting to show up, which is always exciting! But today I saw teasers from one of my most favorite paper companies, Bella Blvd, and I just had to spread the word. :)
Bella Blvd have only been around for about a year but Stephanie's designs had me from 'hello'... I love her color combos and her designs are so inspiring to use. And now there are four new collections to look forward to:
Super Stud
Flirty
Camped Out
and Plastino

The BIG news this release is the addition of some new embellishments to the product lines and can I just say there will be stamps... oh yes there will be stamps... yeah! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the cute little robot image from Super Stud will find his way onto a stamp... want to check it out for yourself? Go to www.bellablvd.typepad.com you won't be disappointed.
My card today actually features Bella Blvd papers from the Family Tree line... love 'em!
