Memo Board using Bella! Boutique Back to School

Hi everyone! I have a fun Memo Board to share with you  that is easy to make with your little ones.  I used the Bella! Boutique School Days paper range and embellishments to make this place for the littles to share notes, achievements and all things school related throughout the year!

I used a simple frame and embellished it with strips of paper and some of the awesome Chipboard Accents

I made medallions to embellish both the frame and the clothespins.  The ruler paper from the Bella Boutique Paper pack is perfect for creating medallions- just cut apart the ruler strips, score ever 1/4" and pleat away.  This is where little nimble fingers come in handy.

These are the cute little clothespins.  They are perfect for hanging spelling tests, report card, important school info or any other special/important info that comes home from your school.

Supplies used:

Bella Boutique Back to School Paper Pack

Bella! Boutique Shapes to Go

Bella! Boutique Chipboard Accents

Bella! Boutique Words to Go

Bella! Mini Range Cardstock Stickers

Welcome Back featuring Bella! Boutique Back to School

Hi everyone!  Pattie here to share with you a cute Welcome Back sign plus a fun paper apple- perfect for Back to School time.  If you are like me, the kids are settling back into their hectic school schedules and the lazy days of summer are just a fading memory.  I created this fun little Welcome Back sign and paper apple using the fun Bella! Back to School paper range.

Here is a close-up of my sign.  I love the bright vibrant colors in the Bella! Back to School paper range!  It makes me miss my kids being in elementary school!

Here is the apple that I made.  Super simple.  I cut a sheet of paper 6x12.  Then I cut 1/2" strips.  I punched a small hole in each end of the paper.  Next I fed a brad through all of the holes (you will repeat for both ends).  Then gently spread and space the paper strips.  I bent the ends to make the apple stand on it's own.  Easy!

Bella! Boutique Back to School Paper Pack

Bella! Boutique School Days Alphabet Stickers

Punk-a-licious mini album

Hi everyone!  I Have a fun mini album to share with you today using the Punk-a-licious mini album by Punky Sprouts.  

I made this mini album to document my daughter's senior year of high school- I can't believe that she is a Senior this year!  Where did the time go!!

Here is a close-up of  an embellishment that I made using Epiphany Crafts products.  They are our swap partner this month and have a variety of awesome products!  You can make all sorts of embellishments for your paper crafting or even jewelry making! 

I love Punky's Lil' Blossoms Lacy (aka doilies).  These are hands down the prettiest doilies on the market!

The center of this flower was made with the Epiphany Crafts punch Round 25- love this punch.

Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone!  I have a  layout to share that I created based on Cindy Stevens awesome Sketch.  I'm using the beautiful new paper range from Bella! called My Romance.  Even though this paper is geared towards wedding, it is so versatile that you could use it for just about anything!

Here is my layout.

I made this beautiful flower using the Arcadia Trimmings lace.  I have a tutorial coming up soon and I will show you how easy it is to recreate this flower.

I used my sewing macgine to add some interest to the lower half of my layout.  I think stitching is just such a pretty accent- don't you?

I used the Bella! Bling to create this circle bling.  Even though it comes in a straight line, it's flexible enough to shape.  You just have to love that!

Supplies used:

Bella! My Romance Paperz

Bella! Die Cut Borders

Bella! Heart Stickers

We would love for you to participate in this month's Sketch Challenge as well!
