Great cards this week!!! And a great little surprise of a double-sum win!!! YaY! Emily surely knows how to boost a Christmas spirit!!! Thank you!
All the cards are fantastic! I especially am taken with the coloring on both entries using King of the Candy Canes.
Oh Emily.. your soo kind to double up the vouchers! The cards are very festive. 23 more days left…
I FEEL THE LOVE……with a team like ours, we can conquer the world.
Great team, Great cards, and now a greater sum to win…let the creativity start rolling, going to need the full week on an all white card 🙂
PS….did you notice I glued by ribbon on upside down! Maybe I should start my cards before midnight on Thursdays. LOL
The cards are fantastic – I wish I could participate, but my little one leaves me so tired at the end of the day all I want to do is sleep – maybe in five years I will be able to participate again.
Em, you always make me snigger!! I love the gorgeous inspiration each Friday too!
We ARE awesome….if we do say so ourselves. LOL
You know why Fridays are my favourite day? Because all of the new card creations are posted! I was looking at Lindabella’s card thinking – that’s a doily! What a great idea! I have learned so much – and gained so many new ideas – from your Friday posts Emily. Bellas, keep up the great work!
You do have a great team Em! I’m happy to play along (almost) every week! 🙂
AAACK! I forgot to send you my dang card, even though I blogged about it! LOL Everyone’s stuff is GORGEOUS. xo
wowsers- great stuff this week ladies!
So happy to see all the inspiration before I hit the stores today…after work! Lovin’ the eye candy and that it’s sugar FREE lol. Um…thanks to the working BABES at the store! Lets hear it for the ones who make the machine run…and keep it running! I bet they are all sleepin like babies at night. ahhhhhh
A great week and so many different stamps were used. I need Christmas inspiration.
Hey Em ~~ Super-Pretty cards this week 🙂 “Almost” put me in the spirit of the Holidays fast approaching *groan*.
You had me laughing at your comment, “Don’t ask me to do Mr. Shminky, Mr dinky.. Mr Linky….. cause I won’t do it!” LOL
MWaHHH
WOW!! Da babes rock as always!! Always so inspiring!!!
Congrats on making your deadlines – and still maintaining your sense of humour!!
Gorgeous Christmas cards as always – but the upcoming white challenge –eeek!!! I love me some colour, but will see what I come up with!!!
Sorry to not have seen you on Wed. at the store. I feel I have to sneak time to craft in the middle of all the busy-ness of the season but is really is relaxing to pick up the copics or prismas and forget everything else.
Gorgeous! Shady leaf, Frosty and Polar Bear Circle are now on my must-have list, thanks to the babes!
Thanks for your time Emily! It is so great to see all these beautiful cards each week. Thanks to those who submit – I always get great ideas.
So gorgeous. I just love all the Christmas cards.
Outstanding artwork!!!! I love the use of the stamp Artsy House….turning it into a Christmas card theme with the snow on the roof. Awesome!
Em, thank-you so much for all the work that you put into the Bellarific Friday post! Of all the challenge blogs I partake in, yours is the ONE that I look forward to seeing every Friday. I get to see the DT’s work (it’s not a link telling me to go to their blog to look at their work) and everyone’s entry is right there at once with viewable size cards that I again don’t have to click to view, so I actually look at people’s entries instead of just uploading my card and moving on. So thank-you again for taking the time to do this, I love it this way and I won’t be one to ask you to do it any differently=) Loved the entries this week! I keep seeing more and more stamps I don’t have that I must have=)
The cards this week are amazing as always! Glad you met your deadlines. Dena and Helen were working away on cutting and packaging when I saw them this week. They make a good team!
All the cards are beautiful!!! I am inspired by all you Bellas. 🙂
LOTS of pretty cards this week. I’m feeling a New Year’s resolution to start doing these more often again!!
Thinkin’ that my card submission was clicked through email at 4 minutes after midnight. So that would of made that card perfect for the Saturday slow sloths holiday themed card challenge. 🙂 Learning how this all works, please dont kick me outta here.
WOW! I’ve just discovered your fabulous line of stamps and I must say YOU all are FABULOUS! I will def be buying several Bella’s.. I love them.. so sleek and sassy.. I have subscibed to your site and blog and look forward to becoming a faithful customer… Liz
ah-maz-zing cards I’m soooo jealous of all your talents!
So much creativity. They’re all beautiful!
All cards are great this week!

I love Fridays because I always find new stamps I didn’t know existed AND I get to see them shown off in beauuuutiful ways! Take “King of the Candy Canes” for example – don’t think I’ve seen it before, but then I get to see it done up all pretty by a couple people here!
Hmm…white…this should be interesting!
Love all the beautiful cards! Great job everyone!
BEAUTIFUL creations by all! And da bella always makes me giggle!
