Product Feature: Bella Blvd "She Blooms" and "Let's Go!"

So today Bella Blvd began introducing their new design team, and when I saw the first two designers and their layouts, I just knew I had to do a Bella Blvd product feature today!

The first is from the beautiful "She Blooms" collection.  

I just LOVE how Missy Whidden created a mixed media layout, so creative and colourful!

Welcome back CHA travellers! Ordering, Prizes, and Classes, Oh My!

Welcome back, Cori-Lyn and Ivy!  And WOW!!!  What a lot of wonderful goodies you brought back with you, yay!

If you missed the CHA newsletter, be sure to read it and check out the list of things to be ordered.

Due to the declining Canadian dollar, ordering was a little tougher than usual this year.  Thankfully, a lot of the companies have given us some time to complete our orders so we thought we would change things up a little this year.

Have a look at some of the goodies we have pre-ordered - if there is something in there that you know you want, shoot us an email so we can add you to our pre-order list (and add more to our orders if we need to).  No deposits are necessary, we just ask that you keep your word :)

Did we happen to mention that we brought back a TON OF GOODIES to give away???

As a thank you for your time, all pre-orders that are placed by January 20th will be entered into a draw for a fabulous prize!!
