Bella Scrapbooking

New Schtuff!!

We have been visited by the friendly UPS people quite a bit lately.  :)  So, I'll bet you are wondering what has been coming to Bella lately, right?  So... here is a little update.  First, the new Idea-ology form Tim Holtz has arrived!!  This schtuff is so great for all kinds of projects, from pages to minibooks to altered projects even jewlery!!  Here is a quick look at part of it...

  Second, a new stamp company, Unity Stamps! They are a green company, using recycled wood and packaging, even powering their plant with wind power!! Great huh? Plus their stamps are so CUTE.  Take a look..

Sorry it is so blurry.  :(  Trust me, they are very fun.
Next up is the baby line by LIttle Yellow Bicycle called "Baby Safari".  This is technically a baby line, but with the fun polka-dots and other generic prints, this could be used for many spring and summer events!!

Finally, a little boy line called "Snips & Snails".  This line has great colors, with brown, blue, green and tan.  All the papers are double sided, with the second side being very generic, meaning just a polka-dot, stripe or plaid on the reverse side.

Hope everyone is having a great week, go do something nice for someone!  :)

More New Products

   Yes, we are receiving new products daily!!  Some from old favorite vendors, others from brand new vendors.  Today we got products from new vendors!!  That is one of the fun things about this industry, there are always new and exciting things and companies.  :)  The things we got are from Bella Blvd., a brand new company, and Cookbookin", a new company to Bella.

Happy Tuesday

Hello again lovely bloggers. We want to inform you of a special offer going on at Bella for the month of December!  As you may know, Bella does offer gift cards, but we are sweetening the pot; for every $25.00 spent on a gift card you can receive $5.00 in Bella Bucks! (maybe we should send this to husbands/boyfriends...) The rules for Bella Bucks are: you must purchase the gift cards in December but save the Bella Bucks because they can only be spent during the month of January, for up to half of your total purchase. So...if you have $20.00 worth of purchases, you may use $10.00 worth of Bella Bucks!

Sometimes gift cards are a good answer for those hard to shop for friends and family members.

And...because no blog should go without some Holiday Inspiration...have you checked out Tim Holtz's blog? What a great guy, eh?! He is creating his 12 Tags of Christmas and you can follow along! Bella has the supplies you need to make these fun tags! Make sure to check his blog daily, he offers lots of product give-aways and plenty of techniques and inspiration! oh Tim...

Bella is working hard to give you plenty of Christmas gift ideas as well. We love these:

Making Memories has created these super cute Pre-Designed 2009 Calendars. What a great idea for loved ones that don't live very close. Just add personal photos, and ta dah! Insta-calendar! And it's too cute to boot!

We like Making Memories' Pre-Designed albums as well! What's not to love!? All the pages are coordinating and complete with embellishments. The designs are really cute, and it takes no time at all to have an entire scrapbook album made! It's great for busy moms who just want to have their photos in an album, but don't have the time, or beginning scrapbookers who just want help getting started! There are several different color choices and themes to choose from! Yippee!

We will be back soon with more ideas! and...UPS willing...December's Project of the Month! Thanks for your patience! Happy Tuesday!
