Stop Rushing

Hey there!! It\s been a busy week but today is my favorite day, Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella !! wahoo!!! This week we have a great sketch and for once, I kept it the way it's supposed to be. Surprised??? LOL!!! 

For my card, I have used one of the Big Words sets called Stop Rushing. The designer paper is a mix of old Crate Paper from a few of their older lines. I have sponged the edges of all the layers and then stamped the sentiment onto Kraft paper using Chocolate Chip ink. 

Next week's challenge is called "Buttons, bows and sequins". So we want to see these fantastic embellishments on your card. You'll also see the Bella babes use the new Stamp of the Month!!

We'd love for you to participate.  Make sure you use a current image (if you aren't sure, type the stamps' name into the search bar) and then get your card into Emily by Thursday evening at emily@stampingbella.com

What candy cane?

Hey there!! Can you believe it? Two cards two days in a row? LOL!!! This week's Stamping Bella challenge is Christmas in July!! For my card I used one of the images called Christmas Mouse. I decided to keep the card clean and simple and only embellished with a couple of flags and a button.  

Next week\s challenge is a sketch

Love you Hoppy

Hey there!!! It's been awhile eh??? My summer has been crazy busy at work so I have pretty much had zero time to craft... BOO!!! I love having crafty time but with the hours I've been working lately, my mojo has taken a hike...

This week at Stamping Bella, we had a great sketch to work with which I have turned on its' side to fit the image I wanted to use. For my card, I have decided to use the image called I Love you Hoppy Poppy which has been coloured with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  

Next week's challenge is Christmas in July!! I can't wait for this challenge!! I love Christmas!!
