Hiya sistahs!  I don’t want you to think I am sitting here doing nothing LOL .. I’ve been quiet because I have been so BUSY!!!  I am just finalizing a release date but of COURSE I need to TORTURE da sistahs no?  I will definitely let you know when the release is and when the sneak peek marathon will begin.. K?

But for this warmer BELLARIFIC FRIDAY, I wanted to share…..

Uptown girl JAYDEN loves to JOURNAL. .. Now when I see the image and finalize it is when the hard work starts..LOL.. Finding the right WORDS to go with the image.. words that can work on their own too… It’s my favorite!  So here’s BEEYOOOTIFUL Jayden.. Would love to know what you think!

Our amazing Elaineabella has coloured this image in.  I feel SO much like Jayden right now….

it’s OUR FIRST Bellarific Friday of 2014 sistahs!!

Hiya!  Hope you had a great week 🙂  .. we have been deluged with SNOW.. and ICE.. and FREEZING COLD!  I am so hoping that you are warmer wherever you are 🙂

There will be NEW rules to Bellarific Friday.. We will no longer be giving a prize for “COMMENTAYTIN'” on the blog AND we will only give ONE prize of $50  to ONE winnah at the end of the month.  We will do a roundup post with all contributors and then put it in a hat and pick a winnah!  If you contribute 4 (maximum 1/week)  times, you get your name put in the hat 4 times.  Sound fair?   ANOTHER new rule is that ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE CURRENT STAMPS that are available on the website.  So before you make your card, please go to the website and click the name in the SEARCH bar on the top right of our home page please.  Using  discontinued stamps just creates frustration as it is not available any longer 🙁

OK so let’s discuss winnahs from our last entry

 

Winnah for Contributin’ ($20 in bella bucks) goes to…

Here are your random numbers:

1- DIANA you WIN!  please email me and I will send your vouchah!
