"Kisses", by Katherine McElvain.

Fun scrapbooking for me is putting together bits and pieces from all different collections and products to make a creation. With the Bella Blvd new release of products I had the perfect opportunity to play, and make a row of flags for this layout of my daughter leaning in to give her little friend a big ol’ smooch. I love how scared he looks, LOL...Anyway to create the flag strip I first cut some paper flags from patterned paper and added some flag strips made from the new Bella Blvd. designer tape. To create the tape flags I folded the tape over the twine and stuck it to itself, finishing it off by cutting a “V” in the edge. After I created the base for my strip of flags, I went in to my stash of Bella Blvd looking for pink and black. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new wood buttons, and crochet flowers. Using all those products gave the layout so much texture and dimension. It was very fun to play, you should give it a try!

"Frosty Friends", by Kimberly Neddo.

I worked off of a sketch for this layout. I love using sketches to create fun inspiring layouts, and to utilize different patterned papers and such. It’s a great way to jump start your creativity and spur you on. The Winter Wonder line is one of my favorites, because of the soft and bright colors mixed together. They work so well to mix and match with other lines as well. These new button’s also a favorite too! I love the Kraft look they have to them.

Supplies:
Winter Wonder: Blizzard, Borders, Icy, Ski Slopes, Minatures, Alpha+Bits; Buttons: Snowflakes

"Winter Memories", by Kathy Martin.

"I Love You" card, by Deanna Misner.

I instantly fell in love with the baby elephants when I first saw them in this line. I LOVE how adorable they are and how their cute little ears are a different pattern. This card practically scrapped itself, I was just combining all the patterns and images I love from the Baby Girl collection. Since the little elephant felt lonely all by itself on top of the strips, I layered some buttons to keep it company.
