Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day in California! We did a little shopping with one of our sweet customers, Julie Johnson and then worked on some misc. projects to prepare for today---THE OPENING DAY OF CHA! If you are in town be sure to stop by Booth #2767 for a free glass necklace, created from our newest Sopihsticates collection....the only collection that we have not revealed yet.....
The Sophisticates collection is full of brilliants monochramatic patterns, and multi-colored embellishment papers made to mix and match with past and present Bella products! The design team fell in love with them and are raving about how they are so versatile and fun!
The necklaces are beautiful and soooo COLORFUL all laying out on the bed as we finished them last night. They're free!!!! We also stopped in the Bella Blvd "We are Family" workshop being taught by the ever-so-spunky Suzy West. The mini album was darling!
Today I'm giving away a FREE class kit complete with everything you need to create the mini album, and a color-step-by-step direction sheet! Leave a comment below to win and you'll get a bunch of free Family Dynamix goodies!
Now for the Sophisticates Reveal....
Each patterned paper front is this darling "Sprinkles" Pattern:
and each pattern back-side is this sophisticated lace brocade:
Available in pink, red, orange, yellow, lime green, asparagus green, teal, blue, black, gray and brown! You have nearly an entire rainbow of colors to play with! And the embellishment papers are my absolute favorite! The Calendar coordinates are so adorable....
There's tons of chipboard accents in monochramatic colors and alphabet stickers in the rainbow!
These Quattrofina alphabet stickers give you FOUR different alphabets on only ONE SHEET!!! Wha-hoo!
And my MOST FAVORITE are the tiny patterned Ciao Chip alphabets. 6 New skus of these you are going to LOVE!!!
and last but not least NEW BABY BLOOMS A BELLA FLOWERS, in four colors, with darling pearly button centers!
You can see the ENTIRE Sophisticates collection here in our website's gallery.
Here's some inspiration for you.....but later tonight I'll reveal to you the booth and A TON OF INSPIRATION!!! See you then!
Love the table with all the necklaces on it! So colorful!!
Looks like a great class and GREAT collection! TFS!

Oh ! I really wish I was in CA right now...I could be at CHA instead of in SD where it is snowing AGAIN ! Those necklaces are sweet...and I just adore the lace and sprinles papers. It sure does feel like time for bright eye catching color again.
