You will NOT be sorry.. promise!  We are opening an hour earlier to serve the early risers better.. so we will be open from 9:00 til 5:00 and then the floodgates open…… see ya then k?

Now let’s introduce ANOTHAH sistah who will be joining us on the Scrapping Bella design team.  She adds some international flair all the way from France!  We are sooo lucky to have her :)  Please welcome Virginie Wurtz to da Sistahood!  and here is a sample of one of her layouts just to show you her eclectic style!

here’s a little bio on Virginie:

“My name is Virginie Wurtz aka Giniew and I’m from France.  I’m a mother of 2 young boys Nathanael and Gabriel, a wife and a math teacher.  I’m also a scrapbooker for 4 years now.  I’m working for a french scrapbooking magazine, Esprit Scrapbooking for a few months now.  I need to create something every day, and scrapbooking is the best way to feel creative for me.  Most of time, my sons are my inspiration, because I love to photograph them and I want to keep memories of all of yesterday’s moments.  My children are full of life and I think that’s why my scrapbooking is full of color.  I love colors!!

And today I am very proud to be designing for Emily.  Thank you so much Emily!”

How cute is she?

Just wanted to share some other eye candeeeee

Check out what Lindabella made with one of GREENBEANBABY’s pieces of art for her UNIVERSITY son who loves batman!

also wanted to show you another little layout I did of Jayden.. I now have to work on some for Tyler before he gets JEALOUS! LOL

I used CRATE paper, Sassafrass star and cloud, K&CO canvas tags and some our our MISS MINT TICKETS! Also distressed the circles on the left with TIM HOLTZ distresser

I wanted to introduce the wonderful MELANIE BLACKBURN! I absolutely fell in love with her work and I know that you will too!  Go take a looky at her bloggypoo and you will see what I mean, jellybean

Here’s a little bio about Melanie

“Hello, my name is Melanie Blackburn and I live in beautiful Ottawa, Canada with my husband, Daniel, and our beautiful daughters Danika and Brianna.  I’ve been scrapbooking since April 2005 and my main source of inspiration is my family.  I love everything about this hobby, from taking the perfect picture, to finding the perfect paper and preserving memories for the generations to come.  Scrapbooking is a method of relaxation for me, after a hectic day; I look forward to having some time to myself to create.  I am more of a “moment” scrapper as opposed to an “event” scrapper.  O wpi;d describe my style as eclectic with an accent on details.  I am very passionate about this hobby and I am thrilled to be desigining for Emily and to be a Bellarific Scrapping Babe!”

So please go visit Melanie and tell her I say HI..LOL

Now I will share a layout I worked on yesterday .. it’s of my little Jayden.

I love mixing papers.. used Jillibean soup, Basic Grey Nook and Pantry and Bella Boulevard.. Tim Holts mini film strip ribbon (LOVE IT) and Nook and pantry stitched brads, and GOLDIELOCKS baubles . Also used Hambly GOLD rubons and of course, the PIECE de RESISTANCE, our CAPTURE THE MOMENTS stamp

and of COURSE some CANDEEE to welcome KRISTIN FAUST, one of our BELLARIFIC SCRAPPING BABES! OMG she said YES when I attacked her!! can you believe? LOL

Just take one look at her, as a fellow curly haired sistah and you just can’t help falling in love

Here’s a little bio and then I will follow with amazing blog candy!

Kristin lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four year old son.  When she is not scrapbooking, she works full time helping children and families at a community health center.  “I wear many hats in my current position and my scrapbooking skills often come in handy when preparing presentations or teaching” Kristin says.

She has been scrapbooking since 2007.  “I started getting involved in scrapbooking because it was the only neutral topic that I could discuss with my boss”.  Since that time, and that job, she has embraced every aspect of this hobby and continues to learn more each day.

Kristin says “I think that I fell hard for scrapbooking because I feel so strongly about documenting all of the little things that I don’t want my heart to forget.  I always try to think about what I would want my family to know if I’m not here tomorrow.  My family won’t care if my page was published but will care if journalins is meaningful and heartfelt.”

Kristin currently designs for Collage Press and her work has been published in Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbook Trends magazine”

Is she cute or WHAT?  Thank you Kristin for saying YES!

Hiya Sistahs!

Like I mentioned, I will be sharing this blog with Scrapping Bella.. what I love about showing layouts is that you will see techniques, layouts, embellishments that you will use on your cardmaking as well!  I always look at layouts, atc’s, canvases etc and see how I can apply it on other mediums.  It’s so much fun!
