Bon Voyage Bellarific Friday

Hi there!!! It's been another quiet week on my blog... Sorry about that!! I'm working a ton of hours at work and I am trying to get things done on my time off. This week's challenge at Stamping Bella was a sketch and I know it would be perfect to use one of the Bella image because they are smaller.  For my card, I was inspired by this travel line from Bo Bunny. I have combined it with an image called Arrivadercibella which has been colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  

Next week's challenge is called "Winter Wonderland". We'd love for you to participate with us!! Just email your card to Emily by Thursday evening at emily@stampingbella.com and you'll see your cards along with ours on Friday. 

Don't forget that we're looking for Guest Designers to play along with us!! 

Doilies CAS

Hi there!!! I have a quick CAS card for you today but I can't seem to get a good photo of it... Darn it!!! Oh well... What can you do right? I have had the set called "Doily Strand" from Stamping Bella for a long time now but have never inked it up. It reminds me of a strand of lights so I tried to make it look like garlands of lights.  I've used Memento Rose Bud ink and then added some clear rhinestones in the middle for a bit of shine. Don't forget there is still time to enter this week's challenge which is a fun sketch. 

Have a great day!!! 

Ramona and the penguin

Hi there! Looking at my blog the last couple of weeks I realize I am in full Christmas card mode.  This week at Stamping Bella we had a fabulous inspiration photo to work from. I decided to use the same general color palette for my card and use the layout from this weeks Mojo Monday sketch. 

I have used the image called Mr. Penguin goes for a ride. I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, keeping it simple. 

Next week's challenge is a sketch. 

Make sure you get your submissions in by Thursday. 

Merry Christmas

Hey there!!! I had a bit of play time this morning and had noticed the recent Fall to Layout and thought it would be perfect for creating some CAS Christmas cards. For my card, I've used the Stamping Bella set called  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and a die from Dee's Distinctively dies. 

I'm off to work so have a great day!!!! 

Naughty or Nice Bellarific Friday?

Hi there!!! How are you all this week?  I've been quiet around here trying to enjoy a little bit of down time. I'm loving this week's sketch over at Stamping Bella but of course I turned it upside down.... I had to figure out a way to make it work for me. For my card, I have used Eve Under the Mistletoe which was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I decided to get a little cheeky using the fun Studio Calico wood veneers that I bought at my LSS recently. 

Next week's challenge is an inspiration pic - there are so many ways you could go with this one. 

Isn't it fab??? 

Don't forget about the fun we have going on!!!

Merry Christmas Bellarific Friday Style

This week at Stamping Bella, we had a Mix and Match challenge where we had to use two stamp sets on our cards. I've been on a kick trying to get some Christmas cards made and knew that this challenge would be a perfect opportunity. For my card, I used one of last year's Studio Calico lines and paired it with "Hanging Ornaments" and "Merry Christmas and a happy new year". The ornaments were stamped with Old Olive ink and the sentiment was stamped with Chocolate Chip ink.  Just an FYI... the sentiment is on sale right now in the store. Score!!! 

Next week's challenge is a Sketch :-)

Don't forget about our search for Guest Designers and a possible full time bella babe!!!

Tis the Season

I had a little bit of play time this morning so I decided to have a bit of fun creating this fun journal that I'll be able to use to store my Christmas lists, receipts etc. I bought the new Crate Paper line at my LSS recently and knew I wanted to use it for my journal. The image I've used is called "Tis-the-season-to-be-jolly-a-bella" (say that 5 times fast!!!) which has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I thought about adding more embellishments but realized if I'm going to be pulling this out of my purse throughout the Christmas season that it probably wouldn't be a good idea. 

Did you hear the news???

Ramona loves to Glide

Hey there!!! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween and aren't experiencing all the rain we're getting on the west coast. Boo!!! It's raining cats and dogs here.... This week our challenge at Stamping Bella was a sketch that I turned on its side so that it would work with the image better. For my card, I have used Ramona loves to glide which has been stamped with Archival Black ink and then colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I paper pieced her jacket to match the DP I've used in the card. 

Next week's challenge is called "Mix and Match". We want you to use more than one stamp set on your card.  I already have an idea for my card :-)
