New Website!!

We have a new name and website for our business! We are pleased to announce EllaBella Design Studios! Karen (from KEW Designs ) & myself are the principle designers and will be maintaining another website found at www.EllaBellaDesignStudios.com Please check us out!

I will still be posting on this site on and off, but the majority of our market news and new products will be posted on our new website!

Things are going very well for us and we thank each and every one of you for all of your support! Even if it is just a comment or suggestion, we are listening!

Thank you!

Going on the road...

to Parksville, that is! We'll be at the Parksville Craig Street Market tomorrow evening (Tuesday, August 21st) from 6-9pm. Plan to arrive early - there will be lots of people & the vibe is amazing!! Hope to see you there! :D

Shhhh...

I've just finished a mini accordian album in a box for my husband, so thought I'd give you a sneak peak. I'll be giving it to him tomorrow, but perhaps he'll let me display it at the market tomorrow! LOL! Oh, the joys of being a scrapbookers' husband! Seriously though, I loved the way it turned out and just loved to play with all of the cool papers and embellishments! The size is 4"x4".



Thanks for looking!

Going to Market

We will be at the Farmer's Market in downtown Nanaimo tomorrow, Friday 17th from 10am-2pm. We have both been working a lot and have some very nice items to bring to the market tomorrow. I will try to take some photos of my work tomorrow when the sun is up! LOL! I am such a night owl!

Hope to see you tomorrow! :o)

Lovin' the Black & White

Another journal:

We've Been Accepted!!

YAY! I am thrilled to announce that we have been accepted into the Kris Kringle Craft Market in Qualicum Beach Nov 22-25 (see info at right >>).

This is a HUGE event with over 10,000 people walking through the door last year! There are over 120 high quality crafters at this market plus over 100 door prizes and 4 Grand Prizes. Don't forget the free photo with Kris Kringle himself!!

What a great way to spend a late fall weekend shopping for Christmas gifts - or even a little something for yourself! :o)

More Journals

I've been asked numerous times for more notebooks/journals...I'm happy to say that I am working on some. Here is one that I finished last night. Love the black & white look!!

We are hoping to be at the Parksville street market tonight, but we're on a waiting list. Fingers crossed! :o)

Halloween Treat Bag Albums & Memo Board

My most recent projects were two Halloween Treat Bag Albums & a beautiful pink Chinese fabric Quilted Memory Board.





I have loads of ideas in my head for projects, now I just need to find some creative time! :o)

TFL!

New Star Albums!!

I have made three new star albums, Winter (small), Christmas (medium) & Baby Girl (large) themes. I am now making my star albums available in small, medium & large and in a variety of themes as was requested. Please let me know if there is a particular theme you would like to see, I'm always open to suggestions!


I just love the way these all turned out!! These albums beautifully display your photos, don't you think?









TFL! :o)

Parksville Craig Street Market

So I thought I'd just try vending at the Parksville Craig Street Market on Tuesday evening. I'm just a drop-in so I only had maybe two hours' notice, but I thought what the hay? I'm so glad I went!! The overall vibe of the market is incredible and so many people I couldn't believe it!

Thank you so much to everyone that stopped by my booth!! I had the best day yet, it only gets better! I had lots of feedback as well, so that is always extremely helpful!

Meanwhile, I have to work on my production. I sold so many things that I need to re-stock, which means more creative time is needed! So, I won't be attending the Nanaimo Farmer's Market tomorrow, unfortunately.

I have finished a Quilted French Memory Board tonight, in a beautiful pink Chinese fabric! So gorgeous, you have to see this in person! I can't wait to make more of these popular memo boards! I have so many different fabrics and I will be making them in a smaller size as well.
