As you may realize, we are not having a big BLACK FRIDAY, SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY (just learned about that) or CYBER Monday sale… we make our own sales in Bellaland right? Our own rules.. our own sales.. after all, it IS Bellaland LOL. So stay tuned… sign up for our NEWSLETTER on our home page to get our up to date news… We are having our last release of 2017 ! Our sneak peeks start on November 29th -December 3rd.. our release date is DECEMBER 4th! Mark your calendars.. not only are we having a 30 image release… but we are also having a HUGE sale! So maybe mark your calendars twice ;)… n’k?
Now let’s discuss Bellarific Friday shall we? This week was an INSPIRATION PHOTO
Marker Geek Monday time! As promised in my recent Stamp It Saturday post, today I’m sharing a coloured pencil colouring video for my Tiny Townie Rita winter scene.
You can watch me colouring the scene in the video below or in HD over on YouTube. Please excuse the fact that from time to time my hair gets in the way! This is a longer video, and I’m sorry to all of you who wish for real time videos – I have had to speed up the footage, or the video would have been 2 hours long.
TIP: Should you try colouring on a kraft/tan paper or any other different shade from the usual white, I highly recommend creating a swatch/colour chart on the same paper first. That way you can see exactly how the colours behave. For this piece I have used Strathmore Toned Tan paper.
Note: the background was created as shown in my Stamp It Saturday post, by masking using a stencil and Distress Oxide inks.
If you’d like me to cover a specific topic here, do let me know by leaving a comment, and I will see what I can do! Bear with me for the next few weeks though, as I am in the process of moving house and will be busy for a little while setting up my new craft room!

Time for another Stamp It Saturday post! This week I’m taking a little time out from my house move (much needed – there have been a few little hiccups) to play with my stamps, and I thought I’d share part of the process today, along with some links and tips, and show you the colouring part of the process on Monday!
Hiya sistahs! It’s been a crazy week for all of us! our new release is being worked on.. hopefully you will be getting sneak peeks very soon.. it’s honestly AMAZINGGGG.. if I do say so myself 🙂 Elaineabella has been busy with her move so our blog has been a bit quiet this week but don’t worry.. it will come back FULL THROTTLE really soon 🙂
This week’s Bellarific Friday’s theme was to emboss on your card..whether you use a folder or embossing powder.. lotsa choices!
Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?
I woke up this morning to little shrieks.. and one deep shriek (the boy child LOL).. screaming that there was snow outside. Indeed, the car is officially covered :).. I love fall and winter so much.. the smell.. the fireplace.. the hot chocolate.. YUM.
No new DT Thursday post today, our amazing Sandiebella is swamped with non-crafty work at the moment (send her some virtual hugs, I’m sure she will appreciate them). I’ve got a little round up post for you instead, gathering together all the links for Sandie’s fantastic DT Thursday projects so far.
