More Bella Blvd. Challenges

Thursday's challenge was to use border strip papers. I only had just a few scraps of borders left from the Christmas Wishes collection and was able to make this card with them.

The final challenge on Friday was to use your circle punch. I used two different sizes to make scallop-like borders.

Thanks for all the fun challenges Bella Blvd. I enjoyed pulling out all my products and mixing and matching them. Now my stash is about depleted, so it's the perfect time to make some new purchases.

Bella Blvd. Challenges

The Bella Blvd. blog is hosting challenges each day this week.
Monday's challenge was to use cute cuts. I rummaged through my Bella Blvd. stash and found some scraps left from the Christmas Wishes collection. Fortunately there was this tree left that I could cut out. I embellished it with some twine and jewels. I used a rub on from Art Warehouse to combine this with the Jingle Belles blog challenge.

Tuesday's challenge was to use pattern paper from 4 different collections. As I was looking through my papers, I realized that this wasn't going to be a difficult challenge at all. I loved that the colors in the different collections matched so well with each other. I used Sophisticates McIntosh for my background, Christmas Wishes Borders, Making the Team Wall of Fame, and Winter Ski Slopes. I also used chipboard from the Family Dynamics collection.

Wednesday's challenge was to use pattern paper as an embellishment. I cut strips from Christmas Wishes North Pole and Sophisticates Calendars to make borders. I used Finally Fall Apple Holder to make a pleated banner border upon which to place my title. I also used more Family Dynamics chipboard. This was another fun layout using lots of collections together.
