2022 was a mixed bag, like most years. Highs and lows, laughter and tears. The past month or so has of course, been one of the lowest points for us, and it feels very strange to be looking ahead to a new year without Emily. One constant throughout has been the presence of colour and community, and hopefully that will be our constant in 2023 too. Whatever the highs and lows, we have our creative hobby and our Sistahood.
With that in mind; it’s the final Friday of 2022, and while the Bellariffic Babes are on a break till the new year, I thought this would be the ideal time to round up some favourites from the past year.

Fabulous cards! Happy New Year!
I agree… every year has its up and downs, highs and lows, and indeed, these last few months were very hard, especially for y’all. It’s difficult to lose somebody you care about, and although it doesn’t seem possible, it’s even more difficult during the Holidays. Emily will be deeply missed by so many, in so many ways in so many hearts.
I do trust that Stamping Bella is in Wonderfull and very dear hands.
May we all be Blessed with kindness, happiness, friendship and Peace in 2023 and beyond.
Friendly hugs,
Kathy
Happy New Year to you! Always a delight to see such awesome creativity. Love them all!!
Beautiful round up of some of the Belles awesome inspiration. I feel Emily will be around in inspiration & designs for ever xxx Happy New Year everyone xx
I still can’t believe Emily is gone. I love all of your stamps & to think she was so involved in what I love makes it that much sadder. I am going to keep using her stamps & will always love how creative she was with the stamps. I can’t wait to see what we will create this year. I am sure it will be an amazing year for all of you.
