Ready for Winter

\DO you ever feel like you've totally lost your mojo and then you make a card that gets you inspired again? Well this card did it  for me.. I'm not sure if it was the DP or the image, but I love how it all came together. This week at Stamping Bella our challenge was to use buttons or bows and I decided to use both!! For my card, I used the current Sweet Sunday sketch and the image called "Quinn and her boots". I've coloured her with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol and then used Diamond Stickles for the snow.  

Next week's challenge is a sketch. 

Make sure you get your card in to Emily by Thursday evening to qualify for the monthly prize. 

Mistletoe kisses

Every year I say I'm going to get my Christmas cards done early and it never happens so this year, I thought why not try? I figure if I keep them clean and simple, I can do it right? For this card, I have used the sentiment from the Stamping Bella set called "Eve under the Mistletoe". A Memory box die, red rhinestones, ribbon and voila, an easy cas card. 

Wahoo!! 1 card down...

Thinking of you

I had a bit of free time last week so I made this card using a recent Mojo Monday sketch... and then I forgot to blog it. I swear \I'd lose my mind  if it wasn't part of my body. LOL... Oops.... I wanted a simple thinking of you card for someone and thought the sketch was a perfect fit. I have used the thinking of you sentiment from the Stamping Bella set called "Matilda on her swing". I like how you can still make a nice card without having to color an image. \Hope you like it!!! 

Love to skate

Hi there!! Another Friday and it's \Bellarific!!!! This week at Stamping Bella, we had a nice and simple sketch to work with. I was pretty literal with it and for once.... I didn't make any changes. LOL!!! For my card, I have used the image called Ramona loves to Glide. I kept it simple by colouring with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used some DP to paper piece the coat. 

Next week's challenge is called "buttons and bows". You need to use either a button or bow on your card or both. It's totally up to you.  Don't forget to get your card in to Emily by Thursday to be eligible for the monthly prize. Just make sure you use a current image. 

See you soon!!! 

Inspired by the pages of yesterday

Hi there!!! This week we had a fantastic inspiration challenge at Stamping Bella. |I decided to go a little different rather than colouring the image. I have used the image called Jayden loves to journal. The sentiment was stamped with Chocolate Chip ink and the image was stamped in Crumb Cake. I love how it still packs a punch and shows that line images don't always have to be coloured. 

Next week's challenge is a sketch which I think lends itself to clean and simple. Check it out!! 

We'd love for you to join us. All you have to do is make sure you use a current image and get your card in to Emily by Thursday evening at emily@stampingbella.com. Get yourself entered for a monthly prize to spend in the bella store!!!

I  can't wait to get my hands on the new goodies. My wallet took a hit, LOL!!! This week at Stamping Bella, we had a fantastic sketch to work with and you know me, I can't leave a sketch alone, I always play with it just a teeny bit. For my card, I have used the Uptown Girl called Lolly and her Brolly. I tell you, I need an umbrella like this for this weekend with all the rain we are gettng. 

Next week's challenge is an inspiration challenge which is perfect for Fall.

True friends

Hi there!!! Can you believe it?? You're going to get two cards out of me this week. LOL!!! I had a bit of free time this week and saw the current Fall to Layout sketch and knew I wanted to play along. For my card, I have used the Stamping Bella set called  "Flower for a true friend".  that I stamped in Pink Pirouette and Old Olive. I then stamped the sentiment in Archival Black ink.  

Hope you like it!!
