HELLLOOOOOO sistahs!!!! How has your week been? Sorry I have been MIA.. been a little crazy but NO EXCUSE.. so I will commit to more entries n’k? My mom and I had a great time in “buffalo”.. but we didn’t really go to buffallo… LOL we actually snuck to a little teeny tiny hidden away casino.. (our little secret) and had a great time!!!! Does anyone else like to gamble a little? any funny stories?? Ok, I will share mine from just this past tuesday but really I am a little EMBARRASSED so don’t make fun of me k? pLomise? K.. here goes!
So I sit myself down at a LET IT RIDE table with a little side of THREE CARD POKER.. VERRRY comfy womfy… and on my first hand I pull back a bet (NOT GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT HAND).. the guy next to me almost punches me and announces that I lost $10… Ok so that is how my first hand goes.. I claim that the reason I made this mistake is due to lack of caffeine…. SO what do I do??? I order a coffee of course! So here comes my coffee.. I am sipping, I am happy, I am winning… and then what do you think happens? *insert shriek here* Yup, you guessed it… I SPILLED THE COFFEE ALLL OVER THE CLOFF (cloth) TABLE!!!!! so the whole table were shooting me the EVILIST looks.. I was apologizing to death.. sweating… and the pitboss gets paper towels and then walks away.. then thinks about it.. then comes back…(still doesn’t wipe the table).. I am sitting in horror staring at the dribbles of coffeee spreading all over the CLOFF.. freaking out internally… and finally he decides to close the table for HOUSEKEEPING to reopen in 1/2 an hour…. So I apologize again and continue to freak out internally and of course return in a half an hour.. only to see that they ran out of chips and the pit bosses were staring at each other at a loss of what to do.. at that point, I took my CLUMSY self out of my chair, and left.. I just couldn’t take the clueless looks the pit bosses had.. HMPH.. double hmph.. triple hmph… LOL.. so that is my little anecdote for the day… NUGGET..LOL you likey da story?

Nickabella & Lindabellas cards were great to see side by side- same stamp but so different- both A-Ma-ZING!
Makeesha & Meahni’s cards were my faves of the sistahood, but everybody’s was de-lish eye candeeee! 🙂
Em, your casino story was soooooooo funny ! I was lol and had to share it with my hubby so that he wouldn’t think I was off my rocker. Fortunately, I haven’t had an “oopsie” like that at a casino. Great sketch there Linda H it was a fun one! Praise to the sistahood for all their talent and for Em and all her patience.

Gorgeous cards ladies!!
Beautiful cards everyone. Does anyone else ever feel a wee bit intimidated by all the gorgeous art work here. Let’s hope this feeling passes quickly.
thanks much
Lovely cards everyone. So much talent out there. Em, you always make an impression wherever you go & I mean that in the nicest possible way. I love hearing about the things you get up to. I’m so glad to meet another “champion spiller”. My track record is similar – if it’s in a public place or an interview – guaranteed a spill will occur.
These are all so wonderful!
Some great ideas and beautiful cards! I just love seeing them every week.
I loved the Springtini one!
Gorgeous cards (as always)! HMMMM…..maybe I need to participate in this sketch challenge next week. 🙂
These are all just so Fabuloso!! Beautiful sketch and beautiful creations!!

Loving all the creations this week. And am especially loving Maggie Haas’ Tyler the Jock card. I love the bright colors and the fact that it’s a boy card. Woo hoo!
I love this sketch! Lots of great eye candy, as usual. It was great to see a scrapbook layout in the samples!
Holy Smokes! that is some serious eye candy! Love them all. I got my fingers crossed. I need me some new bellas!
Great cards from everyone this week…as always! I look forward to seeing everyone’s submissions!
On a side note – I totally just sent Emily my card (thinking the sketch at the top of the email was the one for this week’s Bellarific Friday). I was away for a few days over the weekend…I don’t know which end is up. LOL!
Lots of great cards!!!
