Today I am showcasing the gorgeous new Bella! Seaside Collection.  This collection is so much fun with it's nautical colours and sea side elements.  Red, Blue and White are always a striking combination! A recent trip to the lake for a day of water skiing and shore line shenanigans provided the perfect picture. My girls always "Light Up My Life".

I have been lucky enough to be part of the Ruby Rock-It Design team for the past 5 years.  I have recently accepted a new teaching position, so sadly, it is time for me to step aside and let some new people take over.  I am so pleased to be able to welcome two of my scrapping friends that I have known for many years. I wont spoil their big announcement, but I can assure you that you are in incredible hands. Ruby Rock-It fans will be so spoiled.

The Coastal collection from Bella! was a perfect match for this picture. The anchor pattern on the paper adds to the theme of the picture beautifully. I tore and rolled the background paper to give a hint of waves, and found a cute little anchor sticker on the Kraftastic stickers.  The silver glitter works so well with the blue papers, and I luckily had enough silver glitter alphabet stickers to create my title.

Well ---we are in full summer here in the states and i know in Australia you are in the midst of Winter but it's always a good time to get caught up with photos we haven't done pages with for summer.  Those brightly colored water filled pages are so fun to do so today i am sharing  a summer layout i did with our newest line of beach papers.  The paper line is called "Coast" and is filled with all those favorite bits of things you find like sand, rocks, rope and nautical papers.  It was really fun to make a page of our day at the beach on the river... We had so much fun.

We love hitting the beach in the summer so I have no shortage of pictures to scrapbook with the Bella! Coast theme.  I decided to keep the design a little simple so that you may be able to take the collection and create a series of pages using the same design switching up each of the papers for different pages!

Hi everyone - Melody here. Today’s project is a simple but beautiful long and layered necklace created with some of the new Just Bead it range of seed beads. Christmas is on the way so I was keen to incorporate red into the design and the fun style of this piece is perfectly suited for the up and coming Australian warmer weather.

I was inspired by all the bright energy of the Brazilian Carnivale when I created this piece.  It is full of bold and beautiful colours! There are two sections to this design, the tassel pendant and the intricately beaded length. I really like the combination of red, yellow and gold and the different shapes and textures of the beads go really well to create a necklace full of wonderful summery vibes.

Happy Friday and thank you for stopping by the Ruby Rock-it blog.  Today i am sharing a page that i did to catch up with my summer projects that i have in the To-Do pile in my crafty room.  In keeping with my "time is very limited theme" I created my simple and easy page with pretty beach styled papers to give my picture that feel of what it might have looked like long ago on Santa Monica beach.
