...drink and drown your sorrow, sorrow likes to swim...

Can you believe i am playing in a Bellariffic Friday Challenge?? Its been way too long and i really miss my bella stamps!!

I decided to ink up Anise Ketto. I coloured her with copics and some spica glitter pens, then cut her out with a nestie.

My papers are PTI white, pretty in pink, certainly celery and the dsp is from my stash.

I ran the pretty in pink and certainly celery through my swiss dots cuttlebug folder.





I finished off the card with some bella dots and i cut out a butterfly from the paper:)


Hope you got to play along this week too:)


HUGS!

...i remember you...

Here is my Bella card for this week! Also are you paying attention to my titles?? You should be as you will need to brush up on your 80's songs for some fab prizes...coming soon!! What other way do you think i would celebrate my blogaversary!

Ok onto to my card! I used Latteabella and guess what? No copics! I had a whole sheet of bellas on watercolour paper so i wanted to get them used up too! (my image box is also overflowing!!)

I cut out bella with nesties and layered her on a piece of Pretty in Pink paper.

The dsp is from Stamping Bella but i am not sure of the name, i think its something to do with a princess or something.

I finished off the card with some ric rac and 2 pink bella dots. The sentiment is also from Stamping Bella!

Hope you have a great Saturday! I go back to work in a couple days :( sniff sniff!!

HUGS!

what a Purrrrrrrrfect challenge....

this week its all about Cats! Although i am not a cat lover (highly allergic!!) i have had some requests to make cat cards since i did dog ones earlier!

I was looking for an image, i didn't think i had one...but i found this Stamping Bella image in my stash so i coloured her up with come copics and cut her out with nesties.

The paper is PTI white, brocade blue and the dsp is imaginscene.

I finished off the card with some pink pirouette ribbon and 2 bella baubles. Oh and i had to turn the sketch around to make her fit!!

So be sure to check out my challenge blog and the Stamping Bella blog to enter, you have an extra week!!

HUGS!

Bella Day:)

Well i didn't think i would have time at all to make a card for today! Luckily last night i got home from dinner with my friend Devon and felt like making a card:)

I decided to do the Bellariffic Friday sketch for the week. I always try to play along. Its also a good thing i had this card kit handy so it didn't take me too much effort. I think i have one more bella card kit and that is it!!

So for this kit i was given the Purely Pomegranate paper and all the embellishments and of course the image:)

I decided to put it with soft suede paper, it matches pretty well:) Good choice for me!

I coloured Bella with copics and then just cut her out. I tied some ribbon on the paper and added the flowers, card done!! :)

The sentiment is SU Teeny Tiny Wishes because i don't have this bella so i don't have the sentiments that go in the billboard.

Well i hope you have a great day! Be sure to check out www.stampingbella.com for some great new products!!

HUGS!

Its a Bella kinda day:)

Well since the sketch for this week is by Karen i had to play:) Its a great sketch for bellas!!

I admit this is a card kit again! I only have one more Bella card kit and then i am out! Guess i need to sign up for another swap ;)

My card base is PTI white with a piece of Perfect Plum SU cardstock. The dsp came with the kit.

I coloured Bella with copics and just cut her out normal (i know how boring!).






The sentiment is from Best Yet SU hostess set. I punched it out with my SU 1 3/8 punch and then punched a piece of Perfect Plum with my scallop punch.

I finished off the card with some ribbon from the kit and 3 bella dots:)


Be sure to check out Stamping Bella for great prizes!!

Its Saturday and i am not here:)

But i have a post for you anyway!! This is my Bellariffic friday Card. I didn't think i would have time to make one but i did! Like i said thank god for card kits!!!

I got this card kit in a swap and all of it is from the kit but the card stock!

My base is PTI with a layer of Old olive. I also use Chocolate chip under the stella.

I coloured Stella with copics and cut her out with nesties.

I love the little star brads and the paper clip, i never use these!! Looks cool!

Well i hope you are having fun as i am sure i am! I will report on sunday or monday with how the trip went:)

HUGS!

Its Bellariffic Friday:)

So here is my card for Bellariffic Friday. I had to make a card for my friend Devon because she just graduated College! Her school colours are navy, grey and yellow.

I coloured Graduationbella with copics, i then cut her out with nesties.

My card base is PTI white with a layer of not quite navy. I then put on a piece of Razzleberry Lemonade on top.

I cut out a piece of not quite navy and basic grey with my circle nesties and placed them on the side.

I then cut a strip of basic gray paper and Crushed Curry for the strip along the middle.

The sentiment is a new SU set called Teeny Tiny Words, it has a lot of great sentiments in it!!

Well have a great Friday and be sure to go check out the rest of the cards on Stamping Bella .

Happy Apple Day....

Man this huggabugg is wayyyyyyyyyy too cute!! I just wanna smoosh her!!

This is my card for Bellariffic Friday!! I have been dying to use this paper because glitter apples rock!!

I coloured my huggabug with copics and used my white gel pen for the accents. I coloured the wings with my gelly roll pen. I then cut her out with nesties.

My card base is PTI white with green galore. I don't know what the paper is because i cut it off! i know duh...i think i got it from Stamping Bella though.

I then just used some strips of real red and green galore cardstock and tied some ribbon on them.

Great sketch Nicky!!

Here are some Father's Day pictures!! This is my dad with Abygail:)

Morganna looking all cool in Shannon's shades!

Abygail takes Morganna for a walk!! lol

We had a great day despite the fact that was the day my mom died 4 years ago and my dad didn't want to do anything! I think the goofy dogs helped us get through:)

Have a great day!

HUGS!

Last weeks Bellariffic card!

Last weeks Bellariffic Challenge was a lovely Sketch by Jen! I love her sketches they are so easy to work with! This card is also for the Bella Show and Tell over on the SCS forum. I was going to use Rockabella (since the theme was tell us who you are) but i decided to go with the puppy thing:) I love dogs, all kinds of dogs! When i get my own place i want lots of dogs! :) I would love to own a shelter or something one day!

Ok so my card! I used Puppy Bella (i can never remember names!). I coloured her with copics and cut her out with a nestie.

PTI is my base and the rest is Taylor's Kit for May! Her kits rock! Really takes the stress out of making a card!

Really that is it! Nothing more to say about the card! So how about some puppy pictures???

This is her sleeping between 2 pillows with a pillow on top! LOL

Have a great day!

HUGS!

Its a Bellariffic Day:)

Today is Bellariffic Friday!! I didn't know if i was going to get to play this week, but i HAD to because this sketch is so much fun! Its by the lovely karen-a-bella!

I had this image in my stash, i think it was sent to me by a secret sister:) I had a lot of fun colouring it with my copics!

I cut it out with my new square Nesties from Stamping Bella. I also inked the edges because the scallop nestie would have been way to big!

The base is PTI white with a piece of Green Galore. The orange DSP is My Minds Eye Bloom and Grow series. The pink is American Crafts Teen series.

The ribbon is from my stash, and so is the little green flower thing. I used a frosted Bella bon bon for the middle of it.

The Happy Birthday is from SU and its called On your Birthday.

That's it a pretty easy card:) I hope you are having a lovely day! I am on day 1 of 8 straight! YIKES! Good thing there is a wedding at the end of it, so i can unwind a bit:)

HUGS

Sorry i am late!!

I know my posts are usually ready at 7am...not today! I just finished making this card, who knew a puppy could be so much work??? Right now she is sleeping, that is how i got the card made and this post going! lol

This card is for Bellariffic Fridays, the challenge was gold and bling. I am not a fan of gold but i remembered having this gold paper so i thought i would go for it!

I started with a card kit (only a couple more bella ones left!!). I love the colours in the papers! They are very pretty! In the kit was the 2 different papers, the bling, the scallop nestie and a bunch of other stuff i didn't use (enough for another card!)

I coloured her with copics and used a gold zig zag pen for the umbrella handle. The sentiment is from Love you Much by SU.

I finished it off with some bling in the corner and used my gold pen around the nestie.

Hope you are having a good day! Here is the half a sleep puppy:)

HUGS!

Bellariffic Card, its a sketch this week!!!

Isn't this a great sketch??? I love it:)

I decided to use a bella card kit i had (it was mine from a swap). I had 2 images of this cutie, i coloured one Orange for Dana and one pink for Karen:) Today you get to see the Orange because that is what colour paper was in the kit.

This card came together so easily! I coloured with copics and cut out with nesties. I then popped each layer (wwkd), it kinda looks like she is in a flower!

The DSP is SU pumpkin pie, i used both sides of it for this card. Not sure why i had this paper since orange isn't one of my colours!

I used a sentiment from the SU set On Your Birthday and finished it off with 2 bella dots (i love these sparkly ones!!)

Hope you like it:) Its our bowling banquet tonight, we placed 13 of 21 teams. Not bad considering we had a pretty crappy year this year. I will let ya know how it went:)

Also thanks everyone for your comments about my Mom! I find it much easier to talk about it!! So thanks for listening:)

HUGS!

Its a Bellarrific day:)

YAY:) Karen sent me the pictures from Bellaland!! I can't wait to go back, its like being in heaven! lol Also here is my card submission for Bellarrific fridays! Here is our inspiration, its a scrap can! lol (this was my idea, i didn't think they would go for it though! lol)

My card is pretty simple. I started out with using Jaime's last bella sketch challenge.

I had kini bella already stamped out so she was my first choice. I coloured her with my copics and her bikini with a spica glitter pen. I used one of taylors tiny twinkles for some bella button bling ;)

The paper is Basic grey dsp and i used close to cocoa for my brown. I finished off the card with some random ribbon i had lying around and the sentiment is also Stamping Bella. I bought the dots at the store and i am in love with them, i want more!!

Here is the bella group shot! Me, Dana, Em, Karen, Miche, Leslie and Nicky! It turned out great!! :)

Well i hope you have a fab day, i am on a 6 or 7 day stretch at work...hope my foot holds up!

HUGS!

Belleriffic Friday card:)

I am so excited i got to play this week:) Its seems things are a little screwy when there is a holiday!!

Anyway here is the image Em gave us for inspiration!! Isn't it pretty?? There are so many colours to choose from!! If you wanna play here is the link.

Here is my card. This is the last month for the bella card kit swap i am in and this is the kit! Rachel gave us the flower DSP and daisybella and the celery paper.

I ran my celery paper through my big shot using a texture plate. Then i sponged it a bit, its hard to see in the picture i know.

I then coloured my daisybella with copics and used my gelly roll pen for the center of the flowers, just for something different.

I cut her out with nesties and finished it off with a prima big flower and a small petaloo flower.

I also used BSC76 for the base of my card, its a great sketch you should come join us in the bella forums on SCS!! This also qualifies for BCC75 to use pink and a circle. Did you know that for every challenge you participate in you get a chance to win $20 in bella bucks???

Happy Friday everyone!! I have 3 days off in a row!! (well i do have to go to work monday morning for a bit!)

HUGS!!!
