good morning sistahs! It is 6:30 AM and i am lying in bed with my laptop actually on my LAP. The house is quiet… (not for long).. soon my kidlets will be waking up and I will be hearing a SCREAMING SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS from the other room (don’t get me started on that show .. I really don’t understand what it’s about..LOL). Soon the morning activities will begin… toothbrushing, hairbrushing, picking out clothes, approving picked out clothes, breakfast requests, boots, snowpants mittens, hats.. you get the picture. so I am going to try to get this entry in while it is still quiet…….
I am SOOOOO excited for this weekend. Paula and Linda are coming in today!! They are teaching all weekend in bellaland. Paula is staying with me! (yay I have a pajama craft party all to myself) and Linda has her hubs for the weekend but we will all “bond” in the store tomorrow.. sooo excited!!
Ok so for this week’s Bellarific Friday challenge, the theme was SPORTS/OLYMPICS. note to self: I need more SPORTS RELATED STAMPS.. you will see why in a minute lol! You will see some cards where people consider SHOPPING a sport (HERE HERE sistah!!!) and some boots for sport (people wear boots in some sports, no? YES YES!) and we even have a RESIDENT FELLA!

These creations are all lovely! Way to go Fella!
If school hadn’t have been crazy this week I would have created, and it would have been a shopping one, partly because those are the images I own and partly because it is the only sport I am a champ at!
Great work everyone!
All the cards are amazing. Love the sporty ladies!
Wowser, great cards!
Wished I had the chance to play along this time.
Well, there’s always next week…..

Fun cards! Thanks for this weekly dose of inspiration.
definitely need more sports stamps!! 😉 but I loved seeing everything that the sisterhood came up with!! now let’s bring on spring! 😀
How great, lovely job all that entered. I really need to get me that hockeymomabella stamp hehehe! Wonderful job! Thanks for sharing. ~Shannon
Love this challenge. Hate that I didn’t get to join in!! Great card ladies… and guy!!! 🙂
Oh, I really wanted to play this past week, but the bug got me! I even had a stamp all picked out the NO ONE used..shocking, lol! The cards are just stunning as always! I thought this was a great challenge!
Hi Em – I’m kind of giggling at myself as I NOW just read that the theme was wintery sports….when I initially read the challenge the only word that stuck in my brain was “wintery”…hence the Snowbunnybella card I submitted. She isn’t really doing anything “sports” like….unless you count that she is probably standing in the freezing cold but still managing to smile and be fabulous a sport in itself…..well, I guess she is athletic afterall.
Great submissions everyone!!
Stay cozy and have a great time this weekend – sure wish I was there with you all.
Lol – looks like great minds all think alike – great cards ladies and gent!!!
What wonderful wintery cards!
Oh I see some new stamps I need!! Fabulous work ladies!
One of my favorite things about Friday is the fantabulos eye candy on Bella Friday. Today was no exception. Incredible!
Lovin’ the bella eye candy! Pick me, pick me as a peanut so I can play too!! puhpuhpuhplease! 🙂
What great cards, love all of them
Love the cards! I don’t have sports themed stamps because we aren’t a sports family. But we are watching some of the olympics! I just received my first bellariffic stamps and can’t wait to ink them up!
Adorable cards – and I am def. playing in the polka dot challenge, I LOVE polka dots. 🙂
Great layouts! Shopping should be an Olympic sport. Both summer n winter. Lol
Wowzers,
Some of these cards are AMAZING! Makes me want to buy some sporty stamps!
Cute cards – great job everyone!!
What a fun challenge. Love all the entries and everyone’s interpretation. Olympic fever has hit our house hard this year. Go Canada Go!!!!
Lots of stylin’ Bellas!!! We all want to BE her, you know~she leads quite the adventurous life!
Hope you are feeling better. 🙂

Hughs, Sandra
Love all the cards! Great theme!
I love all the cards this week! The Olympic theme was fantastic!
wow…these cards are great and I loved your story about your chicklets..it made me chuckle!!
I drew a blank with the Olympic theme. You all came up with awesome ideas! Shopping IS a sport. 🙂 Beautiful samples from the DT and everyone else, as usual!
Oh, a chance at bella bucks just for commenting? Fun! just bought my first bella’s this week, I think I’ll go ahead and put them to use tomorrow!
Fabulous cards! Why didn’t I think of using my snowbunnybella? I didn’t think I had anything that would work! Next time! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
I love these cards! The stamps are soooo cute!
So, so SOOOO cute! All of the cards are ADORABLE. I must say I *am* partial to Leslie’s Canadian Snowbunnybella – wasn’t it an amazing Olympics? 🙂
FANtabulous cards! I have a few of the stamps featured so I’m definitely inspired to haul them out and use them soon! The cards from the Design Team ROCK, as do the cards from the sistahood (including the brotha, Keith!). Yummy stuff!
All these cards are so lovely and perfect for the closing of the Olympic games. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I adore the bellas, winning bella bucks would be fantabulous( is that a real word? lol) thanks
All of these cards are terrific! I have two nieces that snowboard, so I have got to get that daisyboardabella stamp!
Oh my gosh, I loved the Olympics and I LOVE these cards! I’ve just added some more bellas to my wish lists!
Is it the 12th yet?
All of these entries are awesome. I love polka dots so I can’t wait to see next week’s cards too. So much love floating around here on your blog Em that I need to check it out daily just to give me a jolt of happiness:)
