Hiya sistahs!

Today’s sneak peek involves another one of my favorite characters… our little naughty (but mean well) chicks. … I think I mentioned before how I really see them as little minions LOL.. they really mean to help but they ALWAYS get into trouble… and they seem to always come in as everyone’s assistant LOL.

You can see our little chicks HERE with SAGE loves Science

you can also see them HERE sprinkled in with our Petunia images… BUT WAIT.. they are up to no good again.. LOL.. you will see throughout this release!

Now this image I introduce you to today, the chicks were up VERY early and decided to help their family tri the tree. HOWEVER…. they got a little OUTTA control…. a little TANGLED… I think they had TOO much fun LOL..

Meet TRIM THE TREE– available on AUGUST 17th.. I think I can even hear their little voices saying WEEEEEEEEE1.. I especially love the one that thinks the ornament is a sled or a tube and decided to roll on it LOL.. I SERIOUSLY think my stamps are alive LOL

Here are some samples our baberoonis made to TANTALIZE even more!

Here’s ALICE WERTZABELLA’s card

And here is SHELABELLA’s card

Wanna chance to win a TRIM THE TREE?? Leave a comment below !

Mwah to da sistahs who WISH they can roll around on an ornament 🙂

Ok the first image I wanted to share with you is a Woodsie image… a PETUNIA image. Petunia has become a star in her own right… Everybody just loves her.. So I felt she deserved to be in a wonderful image for this release.

Ok meet PETUNIA loves CHRISTMAS. The image for our website was coloured, of course, by our very own ELAINEABELLA.. she is so important in this release process.. she listens to me hem and haw.. and bleh and blaw.. offers VERY valuable opinions on the images.. I am so grateful to her! Check out her amazing blog for lots of inspiration!

ok now for the peanut gallery LOL..(that would be ME).. can you please look at the bum sticking out of the wreath? and her footsies? and her hoofs (are they hoofs?). and her mistletoe barrette? Ok Im done now.

In the beginning of 2015 we decided that every 1st Tuesday of every month we will offer handpicked stamps at insane HAND CROPPED prices LOL. This is an opportunity for us to THANK you for your loyalty and business throughout the years and a way for you to save some $$ and a way to maybe pay it forward and share with another sistah… buy a RAK.. a gift.. I dunno.. just one of my crazy Bella ideaRs.

So please DO join us every 1st Tuesday of every month to see what we are up to :).. well I would prefer if you joined me every day by subscribing to my blog (in the middle to the right of the blog, you will see options to subscribe) .. my newsletter ( you will see the subscription box at the bottom of the screen.. and I promise I don’t bombard with emails :O)

Another great way to follow my antics is via Instagram (@stampingbella).. via twitter (which I really don’t like LOL- @stampingbella) and via Facebook (@stampingbella)… We also have an AMAZING sistahood group on FB where you can all share your creations… get feedback.. blab.. meet sistah friends… get inspired.. you can find this group HERE

I am so grateful for this month but I just packed my whole studio to bring with me.. (Ryan still doesn’t know what’s going in the car.. LOL I am sure you will hear him from wherever you are once he feasts his eyes on the LOOT). I will be working every day and keeping in touch with my sistahs.. (I am planning on coloring lots.. and gonna try to learn new techniques to share with all of you… i.e. PLEATS.. my BIGGEST ENEMY! LOL) you can take THIS sistah out of Bellaland but ya CANNOT take Bellaland out of dis SISTAH.. LOL.. I never take vacations.. I’m ALWAYS plugged in.. 24/7/.
