Need a cupcake?

Hey there. Wow!! I didn't realize it has been a few weeks since I've posted on my blog. We're in the busiest time at work right now so my crafty time has been pretty much zilch. 

This week at Stamping Bella our challenge is a Birthday Wishes challenge. For my card, I decided to use one of the fun images from the last release called Edna with a Cupcake on top. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I also paper pieced the cupcake wrapper. 

Next week's challenge is using washi or ribbon on your cards!! We'll also be highlighting the next Stamp of the month. 

You have until Thursday evening to get your card in to Emily at emily@stampingbella.com or by entering it on the blog. 

Need a hug?

Hi there!! IT's Friday which means it is Bellarific Friday over at Stamping Bella. This week, we had another fantastic Mojobella sketch that I accidentally made a mistake on. OOPS!!!  For my card, I've used the image called Tiny Townie Heidi Needs a hug. The image has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I'm wishing I did her hair a different colour because it feels like too much yellow... Oh well... Next time. 

Next week's challenge is a fab inspiration challenge.

Need an umbrella?

No umbrella needed for this girl!! We are having some above average warm temperatures here on the Wet coast and it's fabulous!!! 

Today is another |Ballarific Friday and it was an anything goes challenge. Because it's the first Friday of the month, it's also when the design team shows you our Stamp of the Month called Lolly and her Brolly. 

Next week's challenge is another sketch - love it!!!

Let the festivities begin

Let the festivities begin!!! Isn't Owliver the Owl great??? He was part of my recent haul from the new Goodies at Stamping Bella. his name is actually Owliver Loves to Celebrate and I've been wanting to use him for awhile. When I saw this week's mojo Monday challenge, I knew I wanted to use him. I tried to go with slightly more masculine colours as I find I never have guy cards on hand. 

Hope you like my card, I'll be back tomorrow with my Bellarific Friday card. 

Budding Chick

Happy Easter weekend everyone!!! As this post goes live, I'll be on my way to volunteer at a local train running race at the water station.  It's also Bellarific Friday - my fave day of the week. This week we had another fantastic Mojobella sketch.  Given that it's Easter weekend, I wanted to make sure I used  a Spring image and for my card, I've used the image called Budding Chick. It also comes with a coordinating die that I decided not to use. My image has been colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. 

Next week's challenge is a "Free Form" challenge and we'll be introducing the next stamp of the month.

Bunny fun

Not sure why but every time I see this fun image from Stamping Bella, it makes me smile!  This week's challenge at Stamping Bella is all about paper piecing. I knew I wanted to use one of the new images and had to use The Chuck and the Bunny Wobble. As you can see, I chose to paper piece the leaves as well as the centre of the daisy. The rest of the image was coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. 

Next week's challenge is another fab sketch.
