March Inspiration

Welcome to April folks.  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter long weekend.  My family and I had a nice time chilling out at home catching up with friends.  I love the Easter break as it's a great time to relax but I also love being able to indulge in as much chocolate as I like without feeling guilty.  Besides, life is too short not to enjoy the guilty pleasures of chocolate at least once a year don't you think? (OK so it might not be limited to once a year but it sounded good)

Anyway back to business - what an exciting month March was with the introduction of our new paper collections?  It has been a while since Bella! has released a new range  so you can imagine how super excited our design time were to finally get their hands on these little beauties.  As you have witnessed throughout the month, their projects have featured some of the new collections and wow weren't they impressive?  Our new ranges will be available via our website very soon and also at any good papercraft stores throughout Australia, NZ and the USA. 

This month the team gave you all a sneek peak at two of our newest mini themes - Grandma's Kitchen and Magic & Wonder.  Beck and Christine also created some magic with the new Botanical and Coast paper collections.  Chez got into the Easter festivities with her gorgeous seed bead projects which included a Cross Bookmark and an adorable mini beaded basket.  So in case you missed all the fun, here is a quick wrap up of their projects again.  

Beading

Beaded Easter Cross Bookmark by Chez

Hi all, this is Chez. Today I give you an Easter treat with no calories..... A Beaded Cross Bookmark in Pink and Silver. As a child I use to crochet cross bookmarks and put ribbon through them. This is my little Easter journey in beads.

It's time for another quick share from me for a project you can do with your kids who love to cook with you in the kitchen.  Ruby Rock-it has a brand new cooking set of papers called "Grandma's Kitchen" with adorable images and gorgeous colors.  I had so much fun mixing and matching the papers and i even added some of my favorite Ruby Rock-it goodies like doilies and wood chippies to it.
