Summer in full swing and all of us at Bella Crafts Publishing have one thing on our minds…the beach!  The sun, the sand and all those beautiful seashells…we love the beach!

When we began searching the Internet for our top 13 beach craft ideas, we were very pleased to find out we are not alone.  There are so many great craft ideas created with the beach in mind that we couldn’t stop with just 13 projects.  So, beginning in July, Bella Crafts Creative Team members will be dedicating all of their blog posts to projects relating to our beach theme.  Make sure you come back to our blog each week because you won’t want to miss out on what these talented ladies have created for you!  And if you’re looking for even more fabulous beach ideas, try checking out our summer issue of Bella Crafts Quarterly.  We have some wonderful beach themed projects in there as well.
