Wishing I lived in Italy....but living in the Midwest will do for now ;)
Ciao! Ciao! I'm Stephanie, also known as Bella! I'm the designer and owner of Bella Blvd, a fabulous scrapbooking company located in the sweet little town of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. For as long as I can remember I've loved drawing, crafting and creating handmade gifts and cards.
Interests: Some of my favorite things are turtle sundae ice cream, puppies, stripes & polka dots, The Green Bay Packers, my Mac computers, making homemade pasta sauce with my Nana, everything pink, traveling the world, being an auntie, scrapbooking, shopping, photography, text messaging, organizing and re-organizing, Japanese hibachi steakhouses, Jersey Shore (yes, I'm admitting it), reality TV and my most fave - Steven my love. Bella Blvd is my baby. (Literally, because I don't have any yet!) I run and own the company, and also teach creative workshops all over the world! Due to my busy product designing schedule, I travel only once a month to independent stores and/or events! Contact me today to learn more about workshops at your store!
