Well today’s release is OOMF.. LOL (guess what that stands for).. I am sick of repeating myself so I decided to make an acronym.. I’m good that way (One Of My Favorites )

MEET CAROLING CHICKS.. they are singing their lungs out but there just happens to be one at the end who has had ENOUGH lol… is that not the cutest chick EVAH??? I am not really sure where the chick with the antlers found his costume but it goes no? The middle chick is very serious.. the ones on the left are SO not paying attention.. they had to catch up on gossip.. the ones to the right I think are PRETENDING to sing .. and..well.. the last one.. hmph

The image was coloured of COURSE by our ELAINEABELLA

Hiya sistahs! Today is an AWESOME sneak peek because it is a sneak peek of a few images ! I love sneak peeking Mo’s images in a collection.. it just makes you want more.. and look at the details.. Mo is amazing!

When I choose a Mo image to release, I need to “feel it”.. I need to be drawn to it.. each one I release means something to me.. triggers an emotion.. well you know how I work!

Well without further ADO… Meet our 6 NEW MO images! 6! yes I did say 6! Is this release INSANE or WHAT? And we’re not even done yet! WOOHOOO

Ok Meet SEASON’S GREETINGS.. when I saw that FACE.. I HAD to and I mean HAD to have her. ASk Mo.. I reserved her the second she came out LOL… LOOK AT THAT FACE!! and THOSE FEET! LOL

Here is the amazing TRACYMACABELLA’s card using SEASON’S GREETINGS

MEET Maggie with her PENGUIN… ANOTHER PEN-G(HARD ‘G’)-EE!!!!! ( I promise I won’t say it again.. no more PEN-G (hard g’s)-EE’s in this release

And here’s TRACYMACABELLA’s card using Maggie and her you know what LOL (don’t wanna drive you NUTS)

I mean really.. do I need to even Comment on “TOBOGGAN”? LOL Cuz I think this image speaks for itself LOL

Here’s KerriBELLA’s card using TOBOGGAN

Mo also redesigned our “THE CHOIR” stamp to have an edgy and sketchy feel. She put my VALERIE as the star… I LOVE THE NEW LOOK OF THE CHOIR! So this is a re-release of this image and it’s totally different!

And of course it is SO difficult to find a perfect Chanukah (Hanukkah) image. Always has been. UNTIL MAX and SARAH. I LOVE THEM! And spelled it both ways because I know everyone spells it differently. I’m a “CH” kinda gal 😉

WANNA WIN DA WHOLE BUFFET?

Sistahs.. what’s a Holiday release without a HILARIOUSLY INSANE image in it’s mix? It’s like PEANUT BUTTAH without JELLY… it’s LIKE MACARONI without CHEESE! IT’s like POTATO without POTAHHHTO… ok that’s a bit far fetched but you get where I am going here… I could go on ya know.. but I will spare you lol

So everyone was in love with NACHO last release.. we had to introduce a HOLIDAY nacho.. of course 🙂 Meet NACHODEER. I mean he is so insane looking that you can’t resist him.. LOL. I giggle every time I look at those crossed eyes staring at his Rudolph nose. He’s a goof. And I LOVE that goof. I hope he gives you a giggle too. And the sentiment? I bet you’re singing it out loud and counting the fa la la’s to make sure I got it right. Do you know how many times I had to go over it? CANNOT DISCUSS LOL

Nachodeer was colored of course by our very own Elaineabella 🙂

Want a chance to win Nachodeer? Leave a comment below and I will draw the winners on August 16th just before release day!

Hiya sistahs!

Today’s sneaky peeky is TINY TOWNIE FAYE LOVES FALL…. I wanted a generic sentiment with her that you can use all year round.. and the grateful had to do with the thanksgiving season… GET IT? I’ pretty clever that way LOL.. I LOVE FAY. I actually LOVE FALL.. the smell of the rain and the wet leaves.. the crinkle of the leaves under your feet (when the leaves aren’t wet, that is)… the crisp chill.. the warmer jackets.. AHHH I LOVE FALL! But I think I love FAY more than FALL.. do you?.. the little leaves.. the flower in her hat.. the sideways pumpkin ( more memories of taking the kidlets to the pumpkin patch every year.. snifff).. and the fallen apple.. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVED apple picking and making all my appl-y goodies. *SIGH*.. SEE WHY I LOVE FALL???

Now some sample cardsies using Fay

Here’s Stephabella’s card

Here’s Lesliebella’s card using TINY TOWNIE Fay loves fall

I am having difficulties deciding which image is going to be my Christmas Cards.

Timestamp: 2015-08-17 00:47:28 UTC*******

********************************************************************************************

Hiya sistahs! I am SOOO happy that you loved my PENG (hard G) ees yesterday! They are so adorable and have a bit of a mischievous nature to them too… not quite as mischievous as our chicks but they are TIER 2 on the MISCHIEF level lol .

Today I would like to introduce “MERRY EVERYTHING”… Now OF COURSE there is a story here too.. I cannot resist an anecdote or 4 when my images are in the spotlight.. I guess it shows how passionate I really am about my stampies… they ARE alive. I’m telling you they ARE. At least in my heart they are 🙂 (just humor me n’k?)

Here is MERRY EVERYTHING.. Love this image and I love the sentiment 🙂 I hope you do too.

If you love SNOWMEN.. and if you love PEN-G (hard G)-EES… you will love this image. I have always also loved snowglobes.. ALWAYS.. And my kidlets have a snowglobe collection.. everywhere my mom travels to.. or we travel to, we try to pick up a snowglobe :).. I know they are tacky.. I remember my grandparents always had these cheesy snowglobes on their shelves and I was mesmerized for hours, shaking them and watching the “snow” fall 🙂 (can you explain how their HELLO MIAMI snowglobe had snow in it?? LOL).. So that’s why this is yet another image that is close to my heart. Do you see “JACQUES” at the top of the snowglobe? I am not really sure how he escaped .. and I am not really sure he likes his freedom. I think he wants “IN” LOL

Here is KERRIBELLA’s card using Merry Everything 🙂

and a closeup 🙂

If you love this image as much as I do, or even not as much as I do LOL and want a chance to win them, please leave a comment below. I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting comments and read EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. I love when you share your memories with me too.. it’s so special and that’s what makes this “SISTAHOOD” what it is 🙂

MWAH to da sistahs who love da SNOWGLOBE and da PEN G (hard G) EES and A SNOWMAN

All images available August 17th!

See you tomorrow!

Hiya sistahs! Was yesterday not such an amazing post? Great turnout from da sistahs contributing to Bellarific Friday.. great feature of our stamp of the month, Betty.. sigh… LOVE. and of course Willow and her little pretend scary goblins LOL

Now for today’s sneak peek! Meet WARM AND FUZZY PENGUINS. When I was little, my aunt collected penguins.. when I used to go to her house, I would just sit and admire them. We called them PEN-GEES (hard ‘G”). We call them PENG (hard g)EES to this day and so do my kidlets. So I am particularly fond of PenG(hard G)ees.. in case you couldn’t tell. In all these years, I have never had a penguin in my collection.. so now is the time :).. I think you are going to love them . And the Sentiment? LOVE.

I want you to please note the TUQUES on the little one’s heads.. I kinda wanna call them “Jacques”.. I think they have a bit of a Parisian flair no? LOL

Anyway, I think this image is SO great as a family Christmas card.. so much fun to colour and , I mean, how can anyone resist JACQUES???

Here is AliceWERTZAbella’s card using WARM AND FUZZY PENGUINS
