Before I start, I would like to let you know that Jessabella has stepped down from our team.  She is a mother of 4 and is SO VERY BUSY so she had to cut down on some commitments which we completely understand.  I wanted to thank her for all of her amazing contributions, her wit, her humor, her amazing marketing talent!! Jessabella you will be missed!!!

Can I hear THREE CHEERS for da SISTAHOOD!?  Way to go!! this was an amazing, INSPIRATIONAL, Bellarific Friday!   Thank you all for participating!

Now for the tidbit of GREAT news!

Well peeps, the time has come to unveil just a little portion of what our “surprise” is.    If any of you shopped at the URBAN SCRAPYARD a couple of years ago and met Angela Urbano, the owner and artistic director, you will know her very well.  While designing the most PHENOM clean, graphic layouts to working with Quickutz and designing one of their most popular dies sold to date, Angela is one talented SISTAH!

Angela was just the person I needed to enter my life when she did.  I received a random email from her out of the blue.. I was wondering why..   I was basically looking for “her” without knowing that it would be “her” if you understand what I mean.  She filled a very big void, both in the store and in my personal creative life.

From being  friendly retail competitors to our first meeting a few weeks ago, we became fast friends.  Our two worlds literally collided.  LITERALLY.  Our styles, our demeanor, our LOOK (LOL).. we are complete opposites.. but there is ONE COMMON THREAD that runs through both of our veins. our bodies. our souls.  And that is PASSION.  Passion for life, for the arts, and most of all a passion for creativity.

Angela will be teaching at Stamping Bella.. sharing her passion with all of you.  Sharing her style.. Sharing how her life has changed in the last few years.  You will be thrilled to meet her, reunite with her.. and learn from her.  I am so excited to have her so close J

But it does not end there.  We are both working together on something new and exciting.  Stay TUNED.

Now NEXT WEEK’S BELLARIFIC THEME IS POP IT UP!  Add some dimension to your cards.. pop dots… crystal lacquer.. you name it..

Don’t forget MONDAY’S ART JOURNALING challenge.. add a piece of magazine collage that is meaningful to you and explain why 🙂

Hope you have a great weekend sistahs.. we expect lots of rain.. I expect lots of Art journaling!

mwah to da sistahs who love to scribble 🙂

How fun was THAT?

Now let’s see some other new sneaky peekys shall we?

Here is Ebrubella’s PAYTON from the GREEN BEAN BABY collection!

Here is ROBINABELLA’S rendition of BIG SHOES by Mo Manning.  Here’s a little story about the BIG SHOES (I better rush before the CANE comes and grabs me away! LOL).. I was out for dinner with Ryan and all of a sudden I look at him and scream “NO ONE CAN FILL YOUR SHOES!”.. he looks at me blankly and says.. “UMMM what the HECK (another word was used) are you TALKING about?”.. I look at him and say OMG.. sorry.. and emailed MO this quote.  And take a look what she came up with!  Brilliant as usual.  This would be a GREAT card for someone leaving their job, retirement, promotion, friendship, moving away.. VERY versatile! (comes with the sentiment of course!)

Here is Jessicabella’s new JASMINE by Greenbean Baby card

Here’s Danabella’s Jamie (the tomboy) by Green Bean Baby

Here’s Dana’s ANASTASIA card.. when I first saw this girl.. I felt like I was looking in da MIRRAH! (Danabella’s BELLARIFIC FRIDAY card)

Now here’s  another one  of our UPTOWN GIRLS for this release!  Uptown Girl  MADISON has a MARGARITA.. colored in by Lindabella (her Bellarific Friday card) can you not SHOVE those boots in your MOUTH they are so cute?

Ok so that’s the end of my sneaky peeky’s!  The rest of the release will be ON MONDAY.. and of course, since it has been so long, there may just be a little surprise coming along with it.. if you BEHAVE.. LOL

I also wanted to show you PAULABELLA’S ARTIST at HEART collection… Our very own in house BRILLIANTLY TALENTED teacher CHRISTINE-abella has an amazing class coming up this month (They may be all full but check the calendar and call to see if there is space!).. the second I showed her these stamps.. she absolutely FREAKED , FELL IN LOVE, and started CREATING!  (Christine was actually part of the inspiration process!)  Look at these masterpieces!  Paulabella has been under my nose for HOW MANY YEARS and she never ever showed me what can “fall out of her pen”?? the nerve!  These images below are from her SUMMER DAYS quad.. 4 stamps including  perspectives of a porch swing, porch steps, an adirondack chair and a picket fence.. OMG these are HEAVENLY!!  (have I mentioned how much I love this release yet? LOL). Paulabella’s images in these frames fit a two inch square punch OR you can handcut them (which I do) as the lines are purposely not perfect.. they are so VERSATILE! (if you squint, you may see them better..LOL)

Now here’s another sneak peek of PAULABELLA’s other quad called FLORAL FRAMES.. shhh.. this MAY JUST BE our make and take I made for SCRAPFEST in MINNESOTA! (wink wink).. sorry for the photo.. it was done on my iphone ! 3 other phenomenal flowers in frames in this collection!

So now back to our regularly scheduled program 🙂
