Our Design Team has been very busy creating oodles of project ideas with all of the new collections and products, and we are excited to finally share them with you!

“Today's List of Awesome”, by Jennifer Chapin.

I am so loving the watercolor trend that's going on right now! For the background of this layout, I used some white cardstock along with gelatos and randomly colored with a few different shades. I then used my water pen to blend the colors together. After gluing it to my background I used my sewing machine to stitch lines across the page vertically and horizontally.

Supplies:
Play Date: Chasing Rainbows, Little Birdie, Daily Details, Alpha+Bits, Captions, Tabs; Designer Tape: Pink Stripe, Polka Dot Combo, Yellow Chevron

“Nana Love”, by Brook Stewart.

Sometimes I just love a simple “grid” style layout! The new Daily Details paper sheets in the new collections make doing this super easy! The 4x6 and 3x4 sizes are perfect for grouping side by side with your photos and the colors are so bright and fun!

Supplies:
Play Date: Little Birdie, Chasing Rainbows, Catching Bugs, Daily Details, Alpha+Bits, Captions, Tabs; High Five Alpha Stickers: Red; Designer Tape: Chevron Combo Pack

"Let Your Light Shine" card, by Becky Williams.

The Play Date collection is such a fun, colorful one. I tried to show off the collection by making a background for my card with strips of the various papers in the line.

Supplies:
Play Date: Daily Details, Park Play, Today's Beautiful, Catching Bugs, Chasing Rainbows

“Beautiful Life” tree card, by Laurie Schmidlin.

With all of the wonderful trees, leaves, and flowers in this new collection, I thought a tree shaped card would be fun to create! I embellished the front of the tree by adding flowers and a ladybug that I cut out from a couple of the new papers. I added a couple of stickers on the inside of the card as well.

Supplies:
Playdate: Alpha+Bits, Catching Bugs, Today is Beautiful, Daily Details

“Better With You” card, by Laurie Schmidlin.

Pretty rainbows, fun Bella style colors, and all sorts of fabulous coordinating embellishments. This new collection is definitely going to be a favorite! I used some of the new Playdate Tabs, a Crochet Heart, a Feather, and a Button Market Button to embellish my card.
