I cannot even believe that it’s Friday already. It’s been one of those crazy-busy-so-much-to-do-kind-of weeks! I love it though, because I feel like I work best under pressure! Today I have a ton of eye candy for you!
For starters…the newest edition of The Bella Buzz e-newsletter is just about ready for reveal! This month’s issue is awesome, no lie, and will be released on Monday, October 24th!
It’s full of ideas using this season’s products including Too Cute To Spook and Finally Fall!
If you haven’t signed up for this FREE bi-monthly newsletter, be sure to visit our homepage. Simply insert your name + email address and you’ll get a free copy sent to you on Monday! The October issue includes updates, never-seen-before projects from our newly inducted Design Team members and some great inspiration we’ve found on our Facebook fan page!
Also, each new issue includes a “newsletter giveaway” feature! This month you can win the Too Cute To Spook collection! Inside the issue, read how you can enter to win.
Guess what?! I finally have some new portraits to share! As I’ve been making teaching and traveling arrangemnts for 2012, several stores & event planners have been requesting portraits and bios. I’ve been using the same portraits from 2008! Gosh, I had those taken when I first started Bella Blvd. You wouldn’t believe it, but my Steven took these! He’s surely learning how to use my Canon! I’m training him well ;)
Speaking of traveling & teaching, I’ve been designing new workshops for 2012! Several mini album workshops are in the works for a new event in Puerto Rico in the Spring of 2012, with the beautiful Nilmarie and The Scrapbook Gallery.
This a-z album was inspired by Teresa Collins, while I was at IU. Is it possible to get an entire a-z album done in one workshop!? I never thought so, but she proved me wrong and ispired me. This mini album featured the brand new Spring Flings & Easter Things Collection!
And last, but not least, my workshops are also designed for the Paper & Co Show in Italy this upcoming February! There’s an awesome line-up of teachers that I am thrilled to be included on.
I have more fun mini album workshops, including this “Mother Knows Best” mini. We’ll personalize this mini album with handwritten notes from moms that have influenced your life, offering advice and wisdom relating to important topics like friendship, love and more.
Or if you’re a mom, you can hand write your own pieces of advice for your children to have here in this one, sweet and sophisticated mini album that will last longer than your lifetime.
I also posted some more sneek peek photos of these new mini album projects on my blog today, which you can see HERE.
So, are you inspired? Are you lovin’ the new mini collections, Winter Wonder and Spring Flings & Easter Things?
Soon, we’ll be bringing you a ton more inspiration with these brand new products, as they are scheduled to begin shipping the week of October 24th, 2011! Be sure to tell your local LSS and online shopping sites ;)
Have a beautiful fall weekend … take some time to be creative!
Wowwwwwwwwwww! I am loving all the upcoming items!! And those photos of you are GORGEOUS! :):):):):):):):):):):)

Great projects. I don't know how old you are, but I thought those were pictures of a child. Hang onto that young look--it tries to slip away as you age. Have a great weekend.
