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!!!

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.

Oui?

Hey there!!! It's that time of the week again, Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella. This week we had a great sketch to work with and check it out, I didn't change a thing with it. My package with the new release stamps arrived this week and we all know I am in love with all of the chicks so I decided to use the image called Slick Chick first. The image has been coloured with Prismacolour pencils and Gamsol. 

Next week's challenge is all about Paper Piecing. Make sure you add some fun paper on your image next week.

Need a ride?

Hi rhere!!! So did your wallets take a hit with the new release at Stamping Bella this week??? I know mine sure did. There were so many images that I couldn't resist. Today's Friday so we all know what that means!! It's Bellarific Friday, one of the best days of the week. This week, we had a great Mojobella challenge designed by Julee Tilman.  I took a couple of liberties with the sketch because I realized if I added one of the fishtail flags, it would have covered up this cute snail from the Tiny Townie set called Sally Rides her Snail. Isn't she a cutie pie??? I'm not sure why I haven't inked her up before now. 

Next week's challenge is a fun one!! Just add flowers to your card!!! Great for Spring right? 

Just remember you have a couple of ways to enter your cards. You can go to the blog and enter with the linky or email Emily at emily@stampingbella.com before Thursday evening. 

I just can't

LOL!!! I love this fun chick from Stamping Bella and it's just perfect for this week's Bellarific Friday challenge which was a 1,2, 3 challenge.  For my card, I have used one of the images and sentiments from the set called "The chicks who couldn't even". The chicks in this set make me giggle every time I see them and for me, I've needed that this week. The layout for my card is the current Retro Sketch. 

Next week's challenge is another sketch. Check it out. 

Make sure you head on over to the Bella Blog!!! We've been sneak peeking the new sets all week and you have a chance to win!!! 

Forever my always

Hey there!!! It's Friday and you all know what that means, It's Bellarific Friday over at Stamping Bella. Today's challenge was a fantastic sketch by Julee Tilman of Verve Stamps/Mojo Monday.  I have flipped the sketch over on its' side so that I could use this fun image called Forever my always. I really wanted to use the sentiment but I didn't leave enough room for it. Boo me!!! The image has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  I also did some paperpiecing of the pants, skirt and shirt. Fun!!! 

Next week's challenge is a 1-2-3 Challenge!! Make sure you get your card entered for Bella \Bucks (perfect time considering the new release coming up soon).
