can you say BELLA (chorus chimes in BELLLLA).. RIFFIC (chorus chimes in RIFFFFIC) fridayyy (chorus chimes in FRIIIIIDAY)… Heyyyyy HOOOOO.. ok.. I am a loser, and I BET you kinda chimed in and sang with me..no? LOL
Well da SISTAHS have again OUTDONE themselves in this Friday’s challenge.. I just LOOOVE Bellarific Fridays (but I don’t love them so much on Thursday night when I am loading..LOL)..
I hope you all had a great week sistahs.. we were busy over here.. went to visit Ketto and blabbed and bought some goodies.. will post the pictures next week!
Bellarific Fridays seem to be getting more and more popular and I just LOOOVE seeing the entries.. the similarities.. the differences, paper used, choice of stamps… OMG.. I am in my own Bella Heaven here and feel so LUCKY that you feel like using my stamps and are inspired! MWAHHHHH!!!!
Ok, let’s see what our Bellarific babes were up to in this challenge…hmmmmmm.. I don’t think you will be disappointed!
Here was the challenge colors!
Nickabella made a GORGEOUS card and a scallopy gorgeous layout using our Happy Flowers stamp.. I just love that stamp.. and it comes in a mini too.. it makes a beautiful set if you stamp the large one as the focal point on your card, and then stamp and color the mini on the inside bottom corner and then stamp it on the envelope … YUM! even stamp the mini on the back of your card and sign your name under it.. can you TELL I LOVE MY STAMPS WITH MINIS???? lol (not screaming.. just trying to make a point 🙂 )
Danabella– has been ONE BIZZY BABE!!! Wait til you check out her blog if you haven’t already! in this challenge she used MISSMATCH ketto.. and our sentiment (which is one of my faves).. What a GORGEOUS card and oops I forgot the BONBONS on the top right.. I will nevAH forget when karen and Dana came in and got those bonbons in their hot little hands..let’s just say there was LOTS of SQUEALIN’ goin on..LOL. I f you check out Dana’s earlier posts.. you will se an AMAZING card using Krista’s flowers, a border (not online yet but will be shortly) and billybootabella!! LOOOVE THEM!!
Jenabella has been very busy she used CHARLOTTE ketto in this week’s challenge.. isn’t it gorgeous? You know Jen and her layouts! fantastic! and of course our sassy sentiment! you should also check out Jen’s previous posts where she made 2 gorgeous cards using BEEDAY huggabugg and POPPY bittybloom. Just gorgeous!
Karenabella who I must say made my WEEKEND when she came into my classroom in Boston and surprised me!! I got BIG smooches and HUGGGSSS (I miss you karen!!) and She brought me 2 little hello kitty mint tins.. is that LOVE or what!? MWAH sistah!!! Back to Bidniss (lol). Karen used IVY ketto and this sentiment.. Ivy is so graceful isn’t she? now if I SAT ON THAT BRANCH.. hmph. How gorgeous is this card??? Karen has also been a very busy bella.. she made a GORGEOUS card using Rollanda Ketto.. I am so annoying in the store cuz I keep saying ROLLLLLLLLLLLanda… LOL and then I finish off by saying “GET IT? she’s on ROLLLLLLLER skates” and customers just ROLLLLLLL their eyes at me..LOL.. if you look further down, you will see a STUNNING card using our flower bottles (comes with a mini too) and another card using stella needs a prezzie! is that cute or what?!
Lindabella made a gorgeous card for this challenge! she used the ever so popular MISSMATCH ketto and the feeling groovy sentiment. How well does that image match with the sentiment? LOL.. and the coloring?! triple hmph.. extraordinaire! Linda has also been a very biZzy babe!! she made the most PHENOMALICIOUS card using my flowery weeds and my dandelion bunches.. OMG.. look where her imagination took her?! And she is right! we have SOOO many beautiful flowers.. take a looky and see where YOUR imagination takes you!! You will also see one of her cards using stella with an olive on top.. stella IS an older version of my Linda..LOL! excellent job Linda as usual!
moniquabella has been VEHERRRY bizzy too! she made a stunning card for this challenge! she used Krista’s Flowers (one of my favoritest stamps evah).. it’s so colorful and versatile.. love this card and layout! She also used this sentiment (so generic and great!) moniquabella has also graced us with her presence today! I love when she comes in and flits all about.. makes me happy! monique has also been SOOO bizzy and made a gorgeous card on her blog using our flowery weeds, our string of pearl baubles and this sentiment! gorgeous! Monique also made the cutest card with mommy and baby cupcake and our new bella blvd paper that we ran out of but quickly reordered and should be in soon and this sentiment
Take a looky at what PAULABELLA has been working on! for this challenge she used Krista’s flowers too! are they not gorgeous?! and the coloring! YUMMO!!!! and that background paper? double yummo! Paula also made a GORGEOUS card using chichiboulie’s EVA BLOOM.. you can find the gorgeous card here and another piece of art here! she used the beautiful AGNES KETTO.. OMG.. have you ever?? are they not SPEC-FABULOUS? ( a COMPOUND word as Tyler would say)
Shannanabella made this card using suzette ketto.. YUMMALISH! and that sentiment?? one of my faves! PHENOM layout, EXCELLENT COLORING.. YUUUUMMMMMM!!!
and I used our wildflower trio for this card.. also used the new nestabilities PEONY.. it just makes a new look for a “circle” layer.. LOVE that nestability!! and the american crafts TARDY SLIP paper.. LOVE IT!!
Ok and you would think the above is ENOUGH?? NOOOOOO!!!! We have our SISTAHOOD who worked so hard and came out with PHENOM cards!! so sit back, relax and enjoy!
