and now for this week’s challenge! Summertime! paper, colour, stamp… let’s see what our baberoonis came up with!
Lindabella and Paulabella will be taking a hiatus for a while.. I think I worked them too hard..LOL.. either that or I SMELLLL.. I am hoping it is neither! But I do understand how hard it is to balance full time work and a full time hobby and I will miss them both so much you have no idea. Words CANNOT explain the void in my heart not having them here with me right now. This will, of course NEVER affect our closeness nor our deep friendship.. we have learned to separate business and pleasure and the visits and closeness will NEVER EVER go on hiatus. They are both stuck with SMELLY me for the rest of their days! LOL. But let’s hope they rest up, quit their full time jobs and come back SOONER rather than later..! Paula and Linda.. I LOVE YOU both SOOO MUCH!!!
Well, Linda decided to go off with a BANG.. check out this card!
Tell me these cards aren’t PHENOMALISH.. OMG.. beyond.. I would say GOURMET!
And now for our GOURMET sistahood!

Now for next week’s theme .. it’s a SKETCH!

Another great week of cards. I too am going to miss seeing the wonderful work of Paula and Linda. Hope the hiatus doesn’t last too long.
Beautiful cards ladies! Interesting sketch, looking forward to that challenge. How to make an oval without any oval making machines/stencils in my tool box…hmmm….that should be fun.
Yippy Yeah I won!! I Look forward to spending that on my next “online” order. I hope Bellarific Fridays don’t go away just because the bellaland retail space is closing! Love all the variety in this weeks cards!
Another summer awesome week of cards! Emily, you want o know what smells and it’s me. I was screaming and yelling the last few days at work. Who lost the memo that I hate to sweat?? Today was awful. I swear, by the time I hauled my Target bags in the house, I smelled like a barn yard. Stinky me needs a foot rub…are you busy?
I miss Paulabella!!!!!!!!!!
Oh how I miss Paula and Linda……as Em says, rest up girls and come back soon!! I love summer, I love this hot summer we’re having and I love the gorgeous cards today BUT Emily that last card “the first 5 days after the weekend are always the hardest” had me LOLing….seriously!!! Thanks for sharing that 🙂
I too will miss Linda and Paula’s cards. Hope they still post some on their respective blogs! Great cards by everyone else.
Fabulous job by the DT. Love that sketch. Got to wipe out my stamps and give it a try.
Holy blog of awesomeness!!! Some great submissions this week.
I sure will miss Lindabella and Paulabella on Fridays. Go recharge those creative batteries and meet us back here n’k?
Have a great lonnnggg weekend Emily. Mwah.
Such fab DT inspiration – I love that sketch too!
Ahhhh….love summertime and all the beautiful creations this week! Will miss the Bella store but Bella stamps have always been my absolute favourite and oh so glad to hear they aren’t going anywhere! They are what started me on my crafting journey! Thank you Emily and your awesome team!!!
A new batch of Uptowns to be released!? Be still my heart!
I love all the cards from each of the talented artists. Thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait to see more uptown Girls.
Geez, the world is falling apart, I’m telling ya! First, Bellaland,then Paula, now Linda??!!! C’mon… I’m TOTALLY devastated… Totally… Linda and Paula are, like, iconic cardmakers to me. I spent HOURS looking at their cards in the store and on their blogs. Terrible news that they are both leaving the design team, just terrible… Emily, you should chain them to the blog and keep them here FOREVAH!!!!
The cards this week are great, tons of inspiration!I plan to devote a bit of time this week to crafting, hope I’ll send my creation for the next week’s Friday…
Great work this week everyone!
What a lovely group of cards and fabulously talented DT!!
Summertime was a great theme! Now I’m looking forward to what everyone does with the sketch.
Omg!!! No! Linda and Paula are going MIA? But I LOVE their beatiful creation! Where are they going? I am so sad about bellaland and now this.
:0( I have to get back into the challenges b/c I sure miss creating for these. It makes me feel connected to all the sistahs out there in bellaland.
