Dena doesn’t know how much trouble she’s in… she will be forced to make more layouts :). At first I thought she was talking about ME being as sweet as sugar and spice and I quickly learned she was talking about her 2 daughters.. HMPH

JACILYNN you have WON the $10 in BELLA BUCKS!! Please email me your information and I will send over the bucks!!
Ok, Now for a little bit of TOTALLY TERRIFIC TOOOOOSDAYS.. I decided to use one of Jessica Rose’s JOURNALING stamps ( gramophone) in a card! I just love it for a music layout too… so here it is!
do you see all da glittah? and da BUTTON BONANZA and da HAMBLY PAYPAH? I used our just a note stamp which is part of billboardabella’s words and the punch I used was a circle 7/8″ punch layered in a 1″ punch… is that YUMMY or what? The great thing about the gramophone is that you can journal right in there on a layout or even stamp it inside the card with a personal note! Hope you lovey it as much as I do 🙂
Now for a little personal story.. I AM IN LOVE WITH A NEW MAKEUP PRODUCT AND YOU NEED TO MARCH OUT AND GET ONE ASAP! LOL
I warn you not to read further if you are not interested in makeup..LOL. So I have been convinced to buy the old fashioned eyelash curler.. I cannot tell you how many times I have PINCHED my lid and scabbed and scarred (LOL) because of that archaic thing (that cost me a kajillion dollars I might add..LOL).. AND I NEVER SAW RESULTS REALLY.. so then I saunter (uchh I wish I could saunter) into SEPHORA for my “fix” and I find the most amazing EYELASH FIBRE THINGAMABOB
so you apply this to your lashes and the “fibers” attach to the end of your lashes .. you apply it as you would a mascara.. and then you put your mascara on top! it’s honestly AMAZING.. LOVE THIS
So sistahs,
today you got a little bit of everythin’.. LOL .. ya got da card, da winnahs, and da makeup!
Mwah to da sistahs who need da fibers..
Em
winners to be announced a little later sorry.. the day just flew by!!!!
here it is! sponsored by JENABELLA..
isn’t it FUNNNNNNN?!?!?!?
Card submission is to be emailed to emily@stampingbella.com by Thursday night July 9th. Subject line should be bellarific friday July 10!
Have fun sistahs and I can’t wait to see your creations!!
MWAH!
HELLLOOOOOO sistahs!!!! How has your week been? Sorry I have been MIA.. been a little crazy but NO EXCUSE.. so I will commit to more entries n’k? My mom and I had a great time in “buffalo”.. but we didn’t really go to buffallo… LOL we actually snuck to a little teeny tiny hidden away casino.. (our little secret) and had a great time!!!! Does anyone else like to gamble a little? any funny stories?? Ok, I will share mine from just this past tuesday but really I am a little EMBARRASSED so don’t make fun of me k? pLomise? K.. here goes!
So I sit myself down at a LET IT RIDE table with a little side of THREE CARD POKER.. VERRRY comfy womfy… and on my first hand I pull back a bet (NOT GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT HAND).. the guy next to me almost punches me and announces that I lost $10… Ok so that is how my first hand goes.. I claim that the reason I made this mistake is due to lack of caffeine…. SO what do I do??? I order a coffee of course! So here comes my coffee.. I am sipping, I am happy, I am winning… and then what do you think happens? *insert shriek here* Yup, you guessed it… I SPILLED THE COFFEE ALLL OVER THE CLOFF (cloth) TABLE!!!!! so the whole table were shooting me the EVILIST looks.. I was apologizing to death.. sweating… and the pitboss gets paper towels and then walks away.. then thinks about it.. then comes back…(still doesn’t wipe the table).. I am sitting in horror staring at the dribbles of coffeee spreading all over the CLOFF.. freaking out internally… and finally he decides to close the table for HOUSEKEEPING to reopen in 1/2 an hour…. So I apologize again and continue to freak out internally and of course return in a half an hour.. only to see that they ran out of chips and the pit bosses were staring at each other at a loss of what to do.. at that point, I took my CLUMSY self out of my chair, and left.. I just couldn’t take the clueless looks the pit bosses had.. HMPH.. double hmph.. triple hmph… LOL.. so that is my little anecdote for the day… NUGGET..LOL you likey da story?
