We have another great week of design team, team-ups. This time May Arts & Bella Blvd have exchanged products and goodies and let the designers go to work! May Arts Ribbons are beautiful, and so many of the colors and textures mix and match with our newest product collections! This week our DT will be showing up Bella & May Arts, hosting a couple giveaways and getting you excited about everything in between! Be sure to visit May Arts Blog all week too for more inspiration and giveaways! It's going to be a blast!
Today we're playing with the Tail Waggers & Cat Naps products!
"Loyal Puppy" Mini Album
By: Beth Gerlach
Look at the darling spine wrapped with ribbons!!
The "L-O-Y-A-L" pennant banner is streamed along the front cover with a thin green ribbon too! This is a great little tip for joining these popular pennant pieces we are seeing such a trend of!
Beth designed this mini album from scratch. Can you believe it? She used the pieces on this Cute Cuts patterend paper to sketch her own pages on chipboard sheets. Then she trimmed them out and covered them in patterned papers....we love this!!!!
Throughout the mini book, Beth used the backside of the Cute Cuts shapes for her journaling.
Notice the flower's center here. By simply twisting and wrapping May Art's red polka-dotted ribbon, you've got yourself a darling flower center!
Bella Materials Used:
Patterned Paper, Stickers, Ciao Chiptm: From the Tail Waggers & Cat Naps Collection
Patterned Paper, Stickers: From the Mr. Boy Collection
Baby Blooms A Bellatmflowers: From the Sophisticates by Stephanie Collection

The Tail Waggers collection is great for Cats too!
May Arts sells some fabulous velvet ribbon with lace trim. Wendy scrunched it here, and also layered our patterned paper with the yellow solid ribbons and ran it threw her sewing machine!
Mixing paper and ribbon in the sewing machine isn't as hard as it looks! Plus it created a cute tiny pennant too! Take a close look!
Be sure to stop by May Arts blog today for more inspiration! Tomorrow we'll be back, featuring our Sophisticates collection! See you then!
Sounds like a fun week! I love the mini and the layout is great, too! :-)

So glad that you didn't leave kitties out of it! They don't get the time and attention that the dogs do. I love them both!
