on my card reader.  It has given me so much GRIEF over the past little while.  So I will be off to purchase another one and hopefully share some of my creations with DA SISTAHS!!

Today was Java Wednesday in Bellaland and it was SO MUCH FUN! Dena held the fort teaching people how to use the Heidi Swapp INVISIBLES line for scrapbooking.. it was WOWEEEEE! LOL.  I had to peek in and give my two cents worth once in a while but people are used to that already *winks*.

Things are BUZZING in bellaland with the upcoming release (YAHOOOOO!) and giveaways (DOUBLE YAHOOOOOO!!).. I just hope you all enjoy it!  11 ish new Lori Boyd Characters.. 3 new Lulus and a BELLA! could anyone ask for more?

We are also working on another WHOLE NEW LINE/COMPANY being launched where miss mint, da Bella, and DA FELLA join forces.. (WATCH OUT!) which we are so excited about.. of course there will be stamps but there will also be SO MUCH MORE encompassed in this line.. you will all FREAK!! For all the local sistahs who saw a “glimpse” of this line you must be VEWWWWWY VEWWWWY quiet (said like Elmer Fudd).

We are also EAGERLY anticipating the launch of SCRAPPING BELLA which should happen in the next coupla weeks!

I think that’s all i have to share right now.. had a 5 minute break in my office at home so just had to share the excitement!

Mwah sistahs who CANT WAIT FOR FRIDAY!!!!

OH AND DONT FORGET YOUR SUBMISSIONS FOR BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!!!

Em

Good Monday morning sistahs!

I hope you had a great weekend!  Well, our chaotic lives are somewhat calmer now with the 2 back to back shows we had.. it has been crazy and we are hoping that “normal” (whatever that may be) life will shine through.  I am home again today with Tyler as he is coughing and has a bit of a fever .. poor little one.  The nice thing is that he is nice and calm and allowing me to get some work done!

FIRST THINGS FIRST:  THE THEME OF THIS WEEK”S BELLARIFIC FRIDAY IS ALL THINGS KIDS.. Your spin on it! Can’t wait to see!!!

As you all know our NEW RELEASE will be launched on Friday!! I can’t even tell you how excited I am!!  Lori Boyd, our new designah, has fulfilled my dream of the perfect “lollipop family”.  I have been searching high and low for “stickish” people.. whimsical, with a family type “aire”.  Characters that you can empathize with.. That is what I love about our characters.. I always hear people say “Oh that reminds me of..”.. “she/he looks exactly like”… and that is what my whole line/business is about.  Not only is it the physical art of stamping but it is “emotional” as well if that makes any sense at all?  So Lori has introduced a great line that we will all be able to empathize with.  Lori creates with LOVE and with her family surrounding her so you know where she gets her inspiration ;).  I will introduce Lori more formally on Friday but I just wanted to get my few cents worth in before that time.  We are also introducing 3 lulus which I adore and YES, you heard me right, 1 BELLA!  So fasten your seatbelts sistahs.. you are in for a ride :).  Oh did I mention there is a great giveaway as well?  You will be SOOOO excited!

If you would like a sneaky peeky of 2 of the lollipops, Check out Lindabella’s blog where she strategically placed hannah and ricky side by side 🙂

if you take a looky at Paulabella’s blog, you will get a glimpse of BESSIE lulu.  Is she not DEEVINE?

We will also be launching the EXCLUSIVE twinchies which are phenom.. I have a card all ready at WORK.. hmph.. will have to post tomorrow!

Let’s see what the other baberoonis have been up to

Danabella used TURTLE TOT-BIRTHDAY WISHES

Hiya sistahs,

Well I am very busy playing mommy as my nanny has left to the Phillipines to mourn the passing of her mom 🙁 . Ryan and I are struggling for time but are loving the new found moments with our children.  Tyler was home sick today and I cleaned up and cared for him.. poor thing. So that’s been my life in a nutshell for the past week and for 2 more weeks to come PLUS we are at the National Women’s Show this weekend so it has been a little tough around here..

Hiya sistahs!

I just wanted to wish our very own Helen a very happy birthday.  Today was Java Wednesday in the store where we give little tutorials once a week in the store and teach different things.  Today was a Copic tutorial which was so much fun! (wish you were all here.. hmph). Well our new Teachah SHELLEYBELLA has been working on samples like crazy and she made one of our make and takes at the CREATIV festival… She used our FUNKY FLAMES stamp in SUCH a creative way!

Well, here are our FUNKY FLAMES in action on Helen’s Birthday cuppycakes that Shelley made. Brilliant, no?

so cute! you can use any scrap of paper you have with this line!

a closeup

Helen blowing out her "funky flames" lol

Shelley's FUNKY FLAMES gift bag

Shelley's CUTE AS A BUTTON gift bag

gift bag using SCRAPLINES YUMMY HEARTS

MWAh to da sistahs who lovey da samples!

Em

Hiya sistahs!

Well the Creativ Festival has come and gone and was a great success!  We would like to extend a special thank you to all of our current customers who came to show us their support.. we are eternally grateful.  We would also like to thank all of da NEW sistahs who came to visit and did some make and takes with me on Friday all day and with Paulabella and Lindabella on Saturday.  It was amazing!! I would also like the chance to thank our very own Denabella, Helenabella, and Shelleybella and Ryanafella for all their hard work in making this happen.  It was a lot of work but well worth the results.  So thank you so much to all of you for making this event AMAZING!

Now on to the next show! LOL.  We will be having a booth this weekend at the very SAME location.. the event is called THE NATIONAL WOMEN’S SHOW.  Ryan and I visited last year and had such an amazing time!  Food, Botox (LOL), teeth whitening, perfume, resorts.. you name it, it was at this show.  Even the curly haired products I use will be showing there as well!  (so I can get ALL my shopping done..sshhhhh).  If some of you did not have the opportunity to see Ryan’s new line coming to the forefront at the Creativ Festival, you will be sure to see it at the show.. we will be launching some products there so stay tuned! you will not be disappointed!

So Lisa at Inchie Arts has been kind enough to allow me to exclusively release a new product!  (thank you so much Lisa!) and we are SOOOO excited to have this product!  Inchies are the CUTEST things EVAH.  I have become completely addicted to them.  AND I MEAN COMPLETELY!!

We carry the inchie protective sleeve where each pocket fits one (you KNOW I love CONTAINERS..lol and this is the CUTEST container EVAH!!).. and I was DETERMINED to FILL it.  Pronto.  So here is a little sampling of it

here is a picture of the full page (unfortunately not a great picture)

Aren’t these the cutest things EVAH???? these are all stamps from the KETTO clothesline collection

the most “magical” part of an inchie is that it makes you think in a different way.  It makes you look at your current stamp collection in a different way.  You start seeing different parts of the stamps that you would like to “capture”.. it really is an amazing thing.  For instance, our very own Lori Brown used an inchie to capture LOTTIE AND GUSSIE’s face.  It was the cutest thing EVAH!

Now for da TWINCHIES (how cute is that name?).  A Twinchie is a two inch piece of museum quality matboard.  This is NOT chipboard.  This is an amazing material.  It is a a beautiful quality that accepts any medium; copic, watercolor, colored pencil and mineral spirits.. you name it, it accepts it.

Just to prove how much that museum matboard can ‘accept” check out Paula’s card using our BEAUTIFUL definition block and FLOWER BOTTLES stamp. Not only did Paula use mineral spirits and ink but she coated the whole TWINCHIE in crackle glaze! now if it accepts that, it can accept anything :).  I love the dimension both the inchies and the twinchies give to a card.. absolutely amazing!

The twinchies will be available with our OCT 30th release!! HOW EXCITED AM I?!

mwah to da sistahs who are loving da TWINCHIE

Em

Hiya sistahs!  I hope that all of my Canadian sistahs had a great Thanksgiving.  We actually hibernated and cut and packaged and cut and packaged RUBBAH around the kitchen table… it was crazy!  We were all in our PJ’s on Saturday Sunday AND MONDAY.. when I emerged today, I actually had to BLINK like a BAT when I saw the sun..LOL.  We had QUITE a system going around my table.. I was cutting the RUBBAH, Ryan was packaging the RUBBAH, tyler was PRICING da RUBBAH and Jayden was putting them into big bags.. It was QUITE a SIGHT! LOL

Well, I am waiting for the new rubbah to arrive… so excited for this new release!!  We are releasing the rubbah at the show (keep fingers crossed) and then online on OCT 30th!  Hope you can join us!

#7 BRENDA MARTIN!! You are da winnah!  lol on the deodorant *ahem*  hair spray story! here is Brenda’s funny makeup disaster story

This is not really about makeup but …… I was running late for work one morning and quickly showered and blew my hair dry then back to my bedroom to get dressed. Now this is back in the 80’s where aersol was product of choice and grabbed the can sitting on my dresser. Started spraying my underarms and OMG………..the burning pain was unbelievable. I looked at the can and seen that I accidently grabbed the hair spray. I run to the bathroom to wash and figure it should be fine. However, all day at work with body heat my underarms are burning. I get home and check to see and they were flaming red. Needless to say as the next few days passed I lost layers of skin, were extremely sensitive and could not even wear deodorent.

This is the type of antics that happen to me weekly that between my family, friends/co-workers they are now labelled Brenda…isms”. They assure me I would have a Number 1 Best Seller if I were to ever write a book on all the …ism’s I have.

Ok, all the colors are driving me MENTAL.. so here’s the challenge for NEXT FRIDAY ( a week from friday sistahs).. I have to skip a weel cuz of the show and there is a next one next weekend but i will TRY MY BESTEST TO POST!!

Next challenge is ANYTHING with NATURE— FLOWERS, any stamp you can interpret as having to do with “Nature” goes.. so use your imaginations and I expect a PHENOM turnout with even PHENOMALER (is that a word?) cards!!

Emailed image is due FRIDAY OCT 23d.. email to emily@stampingbella.com

MWAH SISTAHS!!

what a way to start a post.. but you know me.. there is no FILTER from the brain to the mouth.. and my feet really are cold (lol).  When do you think I should stop wearing FLIPFLOPS? LOL

Today is a great day.. posted lots of goodies online.. lots of stuff in the specials section and now will show you a coupla samples I labored over 🙂

I have to tell you whenever my Lindabella and Paulabella come to visit and teach I am SOO inspired.  People may think their look is hard to achieve but if you just sit with them and take a class you would be SHOCKED at how well you can do.  Their techniques are achievable and they teach you all you need to know! Now will yours look EXACTLY like theirs? probably not..LOL.. they are in a league of their own in terms of coloring but is it achievable? YES!  Our Bellarific Babes are absolutely AMAZING each and every one of them.. their talent cannot be beat.. I am SO lucky.  I know I always mention that but I really really am!

Here is a little card I came up with using CONFUSED CHRISTMAS cat by Christy Croll.. this is a TYPICAL Christy Stamp and her sense of humor… LOL

I used the confused Christmas cat image, JILLIBEAN SOUP polkadotty paper, and American Crafts ribbon (LOVE IT)

I have also been working on make and takes for the Creativ Festival.. so next Friday we will be featuring our INCHIES on a card.. we used our HEARTY CUPCAKE inchie and sentiment on one of the cards and on the other card we used something SPECIAL.. something NEW… something that will be EXCLUSIVE TO BELLA for a little while… Can you see what the new thing is in this image??

Hiya sistahs!

hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We had a WHIRLWIND in bellaland.. it was INSANE.. NON STOP… I just wanna sleep and relish every moment I had.  We had Lindabella and Paulabella in to teach their classes and it was OUTSTANDING.. every time I sit with them I am just a sponge.. not only do I take their classes but I just love to watch them work. The talent that OOZES from them is almost unbearable to watch..LOL! just kiddinK.   We have become so close over the last little while and for that I am SO thankful.  Paulabella and Lindabella will be working at the CREATIV Festival with us.. we will be at booth # 125.  They will be there all day on Saturday just sharing their talent with everyone who wants to come and watch!  I know that Paulabella is coming on the weekend of November 15th again to teach her fan club here in Bellaland and we are trying to convince Lindabella to come back too!  One sure way Paula knows how to “get” her is by “threatening” that SHE will teach the COPIC class here..LOL.  So be sure for an update that Lindabella WILL be joining us that weekend for classes.

Just to prove what a great time we had, here are a couple of pictures 🙂

I toldja that REAL MEN can STAMP!!! (doing our make and take)

Diannabella manning the make and take fort! Thanks di!

Diane and Sheryl.. Ahem the TROUBLEMAKERS in the class but they look OH SO INNOCENT 😉
