February Fun Flashback

Hi everyone! Welcome to March and the first day of Autumn. Today we take a flashback to February and check out all the amazing projects our Design Team created throughout the month.
Seaside Vacation Layout

We've had some incredibly hot weather the past few weeks getting to the peak of summer. We spent most of the school holidays near the water and today I'm sharing a mixed media layout with Bella's Seaside collection.
You Light Up My Life

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".
November Inspiration

It's the last day of November today and boy what a month we have had! Our featured products included the festive Just Bead It Christmas bead range and the Crafters Choice Christmas collections - Rustic Christmas, New Traditions and Christmas Dreams. The Design team really ramped up the Christmas inspiration this time. Their creations included stunning Christmas beaded jewellery, an array of cards, a mini album, a Christmas wreath decoration and even a fun Santa falling down the chimney ornament. If you missed all these posts during the month, then read on as we know you'll be blown away! Truly impressive work by the girls!
Fun Summer Christmas Cards

Time to share some more fun Christmas cards with Crafters Choice New Traditions collection. Christmas means summer in our side of the world. Days by the water, fishing and barbecues with family and friends makes this one of my favourite seasons.
A Trip Down Memory Lane | Goodbye Alicia

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.
Cruising with Mickey

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.
Summer Fun Beach Day Layout

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.
Serene Coastal Themed Card Set

Red, White & Blue Celebration Cards

Today I have another opportunity to share some seasonable joy with everyone. The new Red, White and Blue range from Bella! is perfect for all your 4th of July celebrations here in the States, but for those back home in Australia, it could also be used for Australia day since the colours match our flag.
Coastal Summer Layout

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!
Fabulous February Flashback

February brought us the celebration of love with Valentine's Day and our team had plenty of fun experimenting with the new Francheville Glitter Glue. We were extremely excited to give you guys a sneak peak at some of the new Bella! papers that will hit the stores in the coming months. Soo..... in case you missed it, here's a quick February Flashback on all the amazing papercraft and beading inspiration we brought you last month:
