2011-2012 Design Team Farewell

To our very first Design Team of 2011-2012,

Because of you…..

1. I am inspired
2. Bella Blvd has completed it’s very first year with a DT
3. Bella Blvd is recognized around the world
4. My life is more colorful & bright
5. I can’t wait to check each morning’s blog post
6. I continue to work harder than ever before to keep you energized
7. Bella Blvd’s family is 30 peeps larger
8. This studio blog ROCKS!
9. The Bella Buzz e-newsletter stepped up to a new level this year
10. I have made new friends in each of you

I like to think that being on Bella Blvd’s Design Team is a very coveted, unique and super inspiring experience. Thank you for the daily dose of creativity you feed not only to me, but also all the Bella fans out there. Because of you life is more colorful for scrapbookers, paper crafters and photographers too!

This year has been wonderful; As part of my very first Design Team I will ALWAYS remember my birthday card blog/hop/box surprise! The love and kindness you showed in addition to your creativity was & is so humbling to me. It’s hard not to get mushy because I truly appreciate all of your excitement and passion for what we do at Bella Blvd. If not for people like you, I wouldn’t love my job as much as I do. Thank you for the amazing Engagement Photo Booth surprise in January and for being a part of this epic first-year Design Team. I think each and every one of you are amazing in your own – and am so grateful for the sweet notes and conversations I have received throughout the year from each of you. I know this isn’t the end, or goodbye, but rather a wishful send off to even more creative adventures!

You’re the best,

Stephanie has also written a post on her personal blog, with additional thoughts and photos. She would love for you to check it out RIGHT HERE.

To my fabulous 2011-2012 design team,

I have truely enjoyed working with each and every one of you over the past year. This was my first time being on the other side of a design team, and you made it such an enjoyable experience. I am grateful for all the hard work and dedication you put into your projects and that you were willing to work on special projects when asked. One of my favorite parts of this job was opening up your emails every day and seeing what amazing projects each of you where sending me. I spent a lot of time "ohhing" and 'ahhing" over your layouts, cards, altered projects, and mini albums ... and than patiently waiting until the day I could share them on the Bella blog, so that all of our readers and fans could "ohh" and "ahh" over them along with me. I loved working with such a talented group of designers, and was constantly inspired through your projects.

I am so glad that I got the chance to get to know each of you, both through your designs and through our personal emails back and forth with each other. You started out a year ago as my "design team members", and a year later I consider you "friends". I know this isn't good-bye. It's more of a see-you-around ... around the scrapping world, around your new creative ventures, on the pages of the magazines, on Facebook & Instagram, and I'll even see a few of you on our Words-With-Friends games ;)

Thank you for everything you've done this year. You are all amazing!
