HOT TOPICS
CHA Winter was a blast and we are just about ready to ship our newest product releases: Estate Sale, All Inclusive and Man of the House.
The collections, including my new favorite new product, Ciao Chiptm, will hit stores at the end of this month! We gave out free “I heart Bella
Blvd” t-shirts, fabulous make-n-takes designed by Gail, and met so many excited customers! Our brand new booth came together beautifully.
(Minus a few
logisitcs
headaches.)
Ciao Bella fans! It’s 2010! Can
you believe this year Bella Blvd
will turn two years old? It seems
like only yesterday I was putting
together a business plan and
creating designs for Bella’s very
first product release! Speaking
of product releases, the newest
collections were a hit at CHA!
You can read more about them
in this issue’s Hot Topics. It’s
going to be a year of bright
colors, new products, new friends
and whole lot of adventure!
Here’s to a happy, healthy and
creative 2010!
The page samples, cards and mini albums were displayed across a twenty-foot wall of inspiration
that everyone fell in love with! All of those ideas are being brought to you this month at the
Bella Studio Blog (www.bellablvd.typepad.com) as part of our month of “Unlimited Inspiration!”
Be sure to stop by for detailed close-ups, tutorials and giveaways! Finally, a heartfelt thank you
for all your support and excitement about Bella’s newest product lines. I love each and every
set like their my own children (well, ha they kind of are right now!).
