WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

it’s AJ MONDAY!

Hiya sistahs!

Well I am finally coming up for air!  Paulabella has been here since Saturday and we have been in a MIXED MEDIA MAYHEM since! LOL.. We have been creating.. shopping, creating etc.. it is such a treat for me when Paula comes cuz then I have an excuse to hibernate and “escape” LOL.. doesn’t happen often but I appreciate every moment!   So Paulabella and I worked on our security envelope entry and had so much fun and so did you!  I have gotten numerous emails from people who were so excited about this patterned paper SO EASY to find and so much fun to collect!  Pinky (see her entry below) used 6 DIFFERENT DESIGNS!  i told her that we should do an envelope swap cuz now I am JEALOUS..LOL

Ok so here we go!

Here is my canvas board.. you will see at the top of the image and on the mountain are my envelopes 🙂

here's Pinky's with her 6 COUNT 'EM 6 different patterns!

Paulabella's page! love the BINGO under the window of the envelope!

Here's Violet's gorgeous page! her leaves are cut out of the security envelopes!

*sigh* I love AJ mondayyyyyy…

Next week’s theme is  Design a virtual clipboard on your page (a frame) and tape or “pin” or paint all of your inspirations for the week..a magazine article, a color, a menu a doodle.  Anything that has inspired you.. you can also paint the whole frame in and just collage other stuff in it..  have fun with this!

oh.. and I may show some more sneaky peekies… stay tooned!

ALSO… If anyone reading my blog is LOCAL , we would love to have you join us for a STELLA and DOT jewellery party in Bellaland on Wednesday March 21st from 1-3pm… I love supporting women based companies.. and I love jewellery.. funky and AFFORDABLE jewellery that is.. and this just fit the bill!  So come will ya?  Would love to see you!
