Our VERY OWN DENABELLA (who works in Bellaland with me) made the most PHENOM layout EVAH.. using COSMOCRICKET Girl Friday paper and my favorite quickutz YOGURT FONT (did I mention I am now re-obssessed with quickutz? LOL) just pure YUMMINESS! I just love to see how the sketches are interpreted both in Layouts and in cards.. another thing that makes DA BELLA oh so very happy! 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
