Bella Blvd | What's New...

Ok.. So the title of this blog post is supposed to say "Bella Blvd | What's New Wednesday".  I think I've kind of missed the deadline on this one! *grin* Oh! It's up on the Bella blog alright, but I definitely missed the mark when it has come time to share it here!  whoops!!

This layout was created using the new Campout collection.

"Our Camp"

products used: Bella BLVD - Campout: Daily Details, Under The Stars, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Chipboard Icons; Color Chaos: Bell Pepper Strandz, Scallop Strandz, Blueberry Strandz; Lucky Starz: Scallop Starz; Hello Autumn: Treasures & Text; Ciao Chipboard: Whatnots; Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Blueberry; Enamel DooDads: Blueberry; High Five Alpha Stickers: Brown-Cream.

journaling - our favourite part of camping is when we get to sit around the fire, usually on the first night. we relax & listen to the bush settle for the night & watch the stars gently shine down upon us. it's a time to really talk to each other without the distractions of i-devises. I love how we all reconnect - family time.

We love going camping and I am so glad that Bella has created this new line! I can't wait to document more of our adventures using it!  Thanks for visiting..x



He's nine today...

So... I have a birthday boy in the house today.  He's sweet and cheeky, and the most loveable nine year old you will likely to ever come across.  We love our boy very much and I thought I'd celebrate him today by sharing a few layouts I've created about his quirky traits.  Because after all, he's provided some good fodder for scrapping over the years. *grin*

 

 

 

yep.  That's my boy.  Happy Birthday sweetheart...x
