Hiya sistahs! it’s the most phenomalicious DAY of the week! First of all, I AM SOOO EXCITED cuz I just got the rubbah for our new release.. HONESTLY, this may be the bestest one yet.. DA BESTEST one yet.. don’t mean to tease but I havta…. well I will let one little cat OUTTA DA BAG if you read on… I think the release will take place in the beginning of august but I will confirm n’k? but honestly, they are OUTTTTSTANNNDING.
People have also been HARASSING me about my white and offwhite paper used for both copics and colored pencils and MINERAL SPIRITS.. PAULA AND LINDA SWEAR by it!!! So if you are interested, take a looky here
Now don’t think i “forgotted” about you.. I had a fabulicious post done and published 3 times and it didn’t show up!!! &*(&%*(&$(%*&$(% but since it is friday I will be more like 🙂 🙂 🙂
I also am so excited cuz the new COSMO CRICKET paper shipped and will be here next week!!! And there are “MINI DECKS”.. 6*6 pads for da CARDMAKERS!! Thanks Shannan for bringin’ that to my attention 🙂
Ok now that the teasin’ is outta da way.. let’s talk BIDNISS… Here is the LUSCIOUS sketch that Joannabella made .. it SCREAMS joannabella if you know her 🙂
So let’s start with our BELLARIFIC BABEROONIS!
We will start with Joannabella since she is da “FOUNDAH” of this sketch
Joannabella used LOVEBEETLE HUGGABUGG in this PHENOM RIBBONLICIOUS card. I just love the colors, the RIBBON, the PAYPAH .. ucchhh EVERYTHING!
Shannanabella made a DEELISH card using MATILDA MUFFINBREAD. I think she should be renamed MATILDA CUPCAKE BREAD..LOL . Check out the LIQUID APPLIQUE and the teeny rose in da middle… YUMMM!If you read through Shannan’s bloggy you will also see simply beautiful and elegant cards using SUPERBELLA, LATTEBELLA, and BEATRICE BELLBOTTOMS. Shannan was a biZzy BELLA!
karen MOTZABELLA (love that) made a gorgerous card using GROUP HUG and our beautiful BLUE JEAN GLITTER DOTS and our sentiment.. HOW GORGEOUS IS THAT? and I love stamping on a darker paper.. a GREAT change from the typical white or offwhite! If you take a looky further on her blog you will see a stunning card using ADDYTUDE IS ON TOP OF THE WORLD and ADDYTUDE LOVES HER TINIS
LINDABELLA made a stunning card using ELOISE GREENGRASS.. Honestly I have to say that this is one of my favorite images from CHICHI.. it was the first image in my Chichiboulie collection and means so much to me 🙂 love you Gretchen from Chichi! If you look FURTHER into the blog you will see AMPLEETUDE with yummalish ice cream (no calories) and GRATTYTUDE.. OMG
PAULABELLA made a gorgeously BEEYOOTIFUL card using FROGGY KETTO.
If you dig deeper into the bloggy poo you will also see a gorgeous card using FELIX KETTO with a flower and DIPLOMABELLA..
And NOW for a little teeny tiny weeny winy announcement.. Our PAULABELLA after great demand from me and lots of bellarific fans.. PAULA BELLA WILL BE CREATING our very own SENTIMENTS for inside and outside the card!!! IS THAT INCREDIBLY PHENOMENAL or WHAT? stay tuned for our next release in AUG. !! Here’s a little sample.. the inside of the froggy card!
and here is Sarah’s SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT following the sketch! Sarah used our HANGING CLOUD BLOCK for journaling and the lovely HEIDI SWAPP INVISIBLES POLKA DOT PAPER. What is so PHENOM about this paper is that it is all ready to go ( PRE- RESISTED) and all you need is a colorbox stylus and foam tips and some distressed ink and it resists the polkydots!. She also used the LEMONADE WOOLIES!! IS IT YUMMY or WHAT?
As for the othah babes 🙁
poor Danabella had a car accident and is in pain 🙁 no card this friday but please IMMEDIATELY RUN to her blog and send her good feel bettah wishes poor DANABELLA!!! . If you wander over to her bloggy you will see STELLARINA in action! Love you Dana!!
