A Long Overdue Update!
Hi all!! Today I thought I would post an update on what is new, and coming up here at Bella.
First, the new!! October Afternoon's new line "Road Map" finally showed up. There are super cute papers, die-cuts, stamps,and stickers. It was worth the wait! :) The line is travel themed, but could be used for almost anything with the cute polka-dots and retro stripes and plaids.
If you are going on a vacation these would be perfect, but remember to document your everyday life too! I wish I had some photos of our old blue Ford with the "cat-eye" tail lights. So, do a "coming and going" around town page to show the places you hang out this summer. :)
Next, with the new month, you know there is a new project!! So... here it is...
This is a tri-fold with a velcro closure!! A fun project, but also a great boredom buster!! Pick up a couple and pull them out when your kids complain that there is nothing to do. Take a few photos of them playing in the backyard and Presto!! Really, with just a little help, most any child could put this together. As with every project of the month, it is in a kit ready for you to pick-up and take home. Everything is included, and cut for you, all you need is a little glue and your photos. And, as always, they are just $5.00!! A GREAT deal!!
Finally, since Bella is closed on Saturday, I wanted to show you what we are making next Tuesday for our Creative Cafe!!
Yup, CARDS!! Glimmer mist cards to be exact! Come by and learn some new glimmer mist techniques. I love glimmer mist, I could spritz in on just about anything!! :) The three cards are just $6.95 for the set. Stop by between noon and 7PM Tuesday July 7th, we will have everything ready for you to create these beauties.
Oh YEAH, Have a GREAT 4th of July everyone!! Don't get TOO sunburned!

Show Your Colors
Can you believe it is almost July already?? Boy time really does fly!! June has just slipped by.
Anyway, with July quickly approaching, it might be nice to make a little something to celebrate Independence Day. Bring out the old red, white and blue so to speak. So... here is our project for next Tuesday.
Yup, a fun little patriotic banner! This could be hung over a window valance, in an office, on your front door, on the mantle, you get the idea. :) All you have to do is stop by on Tuesday between noon and 7 PM , we will have everything ready for you to make your own!! Plus, the cost is only $5.95 for a great way to show off your patriotism!!

How Does Your Garden Grow?
Next Tuesday, June 16th we will celebrating the beauty of your garden. This is such a beautiful time of year in the Yakima Valley!! I just love the flowers blooming all around town. I think it would be fun to take a walk around your neighborhood, and take photos. A little "photo safari" so to speak. :) You could bring them next Tuesday when we make this ...
It is an accordion book full of photos of flowers. It also has some fun pockets and tags to pull out. The strips are quotes meant to inspire. I just wanted something to put out that would remind me to appreciate all that I have. We all need that from time to time. So, stop by next Tuesday between noon and 7PM. We will have everything read for you to create your own gardeny inspiration. The cost is only $6.95 and includes all supplies.

I am Here!!
Yes, I am here! ;) Saturday was a little crazy, and I totally forgot to post the project for next Tuesday. So sorry. But you know, better late than never. So here it is, the project for Tuesday June 9th. I think this is so cute. It is a little birdhouse, and the roof opens up so you can put a little something inside( candy maybe??) This would be perfect for a teacher's gift. After the candy or whatever is gone, you can set the little birdhouse on your desk.
As with every Tuesday, come in between noon and 5 PM. we will have everything ready for you. The cost for this project is just $5.95!! That includes everything to complete this little darling!!

Going Somewhere?
Even if you haven't been somewhere, I'll bet you have plans to do a little travel this summer!! Just going to the park counts in my book, as I don't get away too much. :) So if you have travel plans or have been to some fun place, Bella has a new travel line that just came in. Great Escape, from Making Memories has a fun tropical feel, but there are also map papers, compass designs, and so much more.
One of my favorite things about this line is the packaging!! I know that sounds crazy, but it is designed to be used on your projects! All the embellishments have some sort of tag or journal block that can be used on a layout or project. I love this idea, as we are all trying to be more conscious of what we use, and especially what we throw away! So, this way we won't need to throw it away. :)

Remember!
Hi all!! First of all, remember Bella will be closed on Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day. Hope everyone has a great weekend, don't get too sunburned!!
Here is what we are making for Creative Cafe next Tuesday. This is the Tim Holtz pin I have been waiting for!! It would be a really great end of the year gift for a favorite teacher, or someone special. It could also be used on a page as an embellishment, or on an ATC card. I like to wear mine as a necklace on the chunky bead chain. It makes me feel so cool....
This is really a fun project, you need to see it in person to appreciate all the detail. Anyway, we will be making this next Tuesday from noon until 7 PM. The cost is just $9.95, and includes everything you need to make the pin.
