Ciao Ciao Bella peeps!
Well, we've completed the booth set-up and are ready to get our beauty sleep after 2 very HOT HOT and HUMID set-up days. Luckily we are good company to be around with lot of giggles, fun and sarcasm!
The biggest task of the day was to make the booth "beautiful." Hanging the project samples is always very time consuming and strategic, but it's my favorite part. First, we lay all the samples out on the table.
Emily and Angela helped hang the projects throughout the booth.
One thing we really pride ourselves in at Bella the amount of inspiration in our booth. While it is *A LOT* to look at, it's a great FREE source of inspiration for everyone. We hope retailers will be inspired to create their own versions in their stores!
The other task of the day was to complete all the product panels and put the new papers, stickers, chipboard, stamps and blooms on display.
The Simply Simona alphabets that were initially released with the Sophisticates collection were a huge hit. So much so that we have released them in 3 new colors and number too! The Simona numbers give you a full sheet of numbers in black and white (great for sports) and red too (great for your December Daily mini albums this year!)
Emily put together this darling shadow box featuring all the colors and new numbers.
The Christmas Corner in the booth debuting our new Christmas Wishes collection is full of so many cute ideas.
From home decor ...
to layouts ... to cards, paper crafts and more! Here's some more peeks into day's work!
And we have some fabulous fun neighbors too! This is our view from the Bella booth!
FINALLY, if you'll be at CHA, be sure to stop by BOOTH #1943, place an order and you'll get some free product and one of these super sweet pink Bella Blvd water bottles!
They couldn't be more perfect for these 100-degree days!
Be sure to tell your local and online retailers to stop by Bella in the next couple of days. Send them an email, post on a message board, tell them you want them to buy some Bella! It's hot hot hot!
Tomorrow's day one ... wish us luck!
