Do you make Resolutions? Do you make scrapping resolutions? Well, I asked our design team what scrapping resolutions they have for 2012 and here is what they said.
Amy Cloud
Did you take a ton of pictures this holiday season. I know I took 200 photos Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ( yes, I know I took way too many photos but I just love to! That is the great thing about having a digital camera.) Now there is no way that I can scrap all 200 but a really good way to scrap a lot of pictures is to create a holiday mini album.
Our very own Design Team Member Amy made a wondeful mini album designed by Julie Johnson. It features the Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes collection. This mini is just so adorable!
Thanks so much to Amy for sharing her wonderful mini with us today!
I hope everyone has a wonderful and crafty day! See you tomorrow!

Hi Everyone,
Today I have some design team inspiration for you from me, Mary Pat. When I saw the new line- Spring Flings and Easter Things from Bella Blvd I completely fell in love with the wonderful colors and designs. It was perfect for my Easter picutres.
Supplies
cardstock-Bazzill
paper, stickers- Bella Blvd- Spring Fings and Easter Things
Tools- Silhouette, Sewing maching
Note: To create the title, Easter bunny and basket I used my Sihouette. I then cut out the Easter eggs from the pattern paper. I love take the pattern paper and making my own embellishments with it. I also typed out my journaling on the computer and cut them into strips. I then added the stickers from the sticker sheet to the ends of some of the stips.
If you haven't seen this line be sure to stop in and take a look!
