What a great group of cards and what a great color combo that was! Have a good weekend!
wow, what amazing samples – i see some scraplifting in my weekend!!!
Beautiful cards this week, I loved the colors from the scarf. Have fun next weekend!!
There are so many talented people out there, but I can quite honestly say, a lot of them are in this group! Stunning cards. Agree, the colours are so appealing.
What a fabulous collection of cards. Bravo stampers, Bravo 🙂 Love that color combo!
Wow, what beautiful submissions! Makes me really think of spring being around the corner. Good luck next weekend Emily.
Wow! Look at all those great cards! LOVE them all. Bummed I didn’t have time to play along this week.
Another round of beautiful cards from da babes and da sistahs…of course how could they be anything else with the beautiful stamps we have to work with!!!
Wow – the cards are all so great!!!!!!
What a wonderful group of projects! They are really inspiring, particularly paulabella’s neighbourhood and lori brown’s charlotte ketto. Thanks to all for sharing, to Em for posting (this was a biggie!), and to Em for the challenge. It’s always nice to have a reason to ink up the bellas!
Gorgeous cards ladies! 😀 Loved all the Kettos! 😀
What a great color combo! It has inspired me to bring spring into the house and start some gardening! Thanks so much and have a great weekend!
Wow, what beautiful cards!!! Can’t wait to see next week’s challenge!
Wow – so many beautiful Bellas! I love Fridays on Stamping Bella!
Thanks for another great challenge! It was fun to see how everyone used these colors in their cards. They’re not colors you see in cards too often. (At least not as much as some other currently popular color combos.) Can’t wait for the next challenge on Monday! 🙂
Lovely entries! I am starting to really love the Ketto girls….just what I needed since I already love the Bellas!
I love all the Ketto images. I can’t wait to get mine. They should be here in time to do next week’s challenge. Yay!!

WOW, these are fantabulous! Loveee them. I hope I can play soon!
wow, gorgeous cards on this first day of spring!! you guys rocked this challenge 🙂
Another great round of cards…and I see there were some great minds all thinking alike when they pulled out the Minds Eye Paper!
Lots of cards, lots of inspiration. Thank you to all of the stampers who played and shared their creativity . Happy colors for a happy bellarific friday!
Thanks for all you ladies share and you guys are killing me with the Kettos I really adore Tatiana Ketto dont know shy but to me she is so cute may be i’ll win and just start my collection
What great cards….I think you gals have all inspired me to dig out my stamps and get going again. Finding the Ketto’s adorable and can see a few of them in my future…and maybe even my niece’s futures!! Look forward to seeing the next group of cards…maybe one of them will be mine!
Gorgeous cards ladies! Lindabella….that card of yours is stunning : )
Loved this weeks challenge. The color combo is one of my favorites!
