1 CREATIVE INSPIRATION, UPDATES & GIVEAWAYS FEBRUARY 2014 VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 NOTE FROM STephaNie Four New Collections Now Shipping! Hi there and happy February. Seems like yesterday was Christmas and here it is nearly two months later, ready to launch my next four babies into the world. Molly, Max, Family Forever, and Lucky Starz have been received awesomely! We could not have asked for a better CHA show. In Anaheim I had the pleasure to talk faceto-face with so many of Bella Blvd s loyal customers, hear feedback about our product collections, book new teaching opportunities and so much more. CHA is also a great time for reflection. Bella Blvd is almost six years old. In such a short amount of time we have released hundreds of products, distributed products around the entire world, and have come such a long ways from our very first ten foot by ten foot trade-show booth. As we kick off a new year, and a new volume of The Bella Buzz I want to thank you for taking this journey right along with me. Changes are surely ahead, new products as well, and as the industry evolves Bella Blvd promises to adapt and do the best it can to preserve the creativity within it. Here s to a successful and fabulous Sincerely, Stephanie

3 Challenge on the BLVD Create a layout combining both the Molly & Family Forever collections, also featuring (1) 5x7 photo. Momma's Girl FrienD By Jen Chesnick Bella Blvd Materials Used: Refuse to Sink, Treasures & Text stickers, Trinkets stickers, Paper Pieces die-cuts (Molly); Mom & Dad, Family Photo, Borders, Language of Love, Family Rules, Treasures & Text stickers, Trinkets stickers (Family Forever); Scallop (Crochet Hearts). By Kay Rogers Bella Blvd Materials Used: Family Rules, Borders, Treasures & Text stickers (Family Forever); Sketch with Style, Treasures & Text stickers, Trinkets stickers, Candid Cards die-cuts, Paper Pieces die-cuts (Molly); Ice Stripe (Designer Tape). Using a 5x7 photo is quite the challenge for me! Where to place the photo and what to put where so it does not seem so cluttered. Oh the stress! I kept my embellishments on the simple side (for me) going for a few larger clusters to keep in line with the size of the photo. Bella s collections flow together so nicely that mixing the two collections Molly and Family Forever wasn t difficult at all! -Jen Chesnick Back in the day, I always scrapped with 5x7 photos, so it was a lot of fun to do that again for this challenge! I can see myself returning to a larger picture format again. And while normally I m not a mixer of collections, it was so easy to mix the Molly and Family Forever lines. This layout is of my daughter and one of her very good friends. -Kay Rogers 3
