Blog Updates & Mini Album

If you haven't noticed, the blog has undergone some changes over night! After several hundred requests for Bella Blinkies and Badges, you've got 'em! There are 3 Bella Badges to choose from: 

They were made especially for you, so feel free to take one, two or all three and have a little fun! :)

Also, the main content column (this one you are reading right now) has been made "fluid." What does this mean? It means that it will now scale to the size of your browsing window. If it's too small or too big, simply scale your internet browsing window up or down. Go ahead....try it....yeah, right now............ you likey? I think it will be great if you'd prefer to see the images larger. Let us know what you think! 

Next up, we hope you'll help us spread the news about the Blog Crawl we announced yesterday! Thank you for all the enthusiasm! Feel free to "borrow" the image you see on the right and post it wherever you'd like! The more people the merrier!

Finally, the Bella Artista section on the blog is being updating. Bear with us until it's up and "pretty" again! Now, for a beautiful mini album created by Katherine McElvain. Using the Estate Sale Collection, Katherine created this beautiful 6x6" mini album comparing her parents timeless photographs with her current ones.

"Out of Town" Altered Clock

By: Janis MedinaThe circle frame is originally a clock that Janis unsuccessfully altered (LOL) more than a year ago. Now it sits on her office desk and everytime she looks at it, it reminds her that it is important to take time off work to be with family.

 

An office-mate recently gave Janis a bottle full of white sand from Boracay, a famous beach in the Philippines. Janis thought it would be cool to include the sand in her project for that added "beachy" feel.Bella Materials Used:

Patterned Paper: From the All Inclusive Collection: Ocean View, Billboards, Bits A Bella, Luau, Skippin' Stones
