WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

OOPSIE.. and a MYSTERY SOLVED!

Ok so yesterday , our “ANYTHING GOES TUESDAY” has been “skipped”.. lol.. I mean, how can you start a weekly ‘thang and not have a NAMMMMMMMMMMMMME for it??? which brings me to the next part of this email.

I LOOOVED everyone’s suggestions.. they were alll SOOOOO VERRRY GOOOD and clevah and brilliant.. just like a true SISTAH!

So we decided to go with TOTALLY TERRIFIC TOOSDAYS.  Dee!! you won!  please email me your information at emily@stampingbella.com  and we will send out the embossing plates for you!

And now for another story….

Something VEhEhEhErrry strange has been happening at bella headquarters.. VEHHHERRY Strange.

Wanna hear my story???  Well, even if you don’t you have no choice.  LOL.. I haven’t had a story in a while.  (note to self.. add more boring stories to entertain da sistahs)

So we get the mail a couple of days ago and I receive this card.. this is the beginning of the story… This was an original of course as I wet my finger and rubbed on the colored pencil and black ink and a little came off.. signed by the wonderful illustrator CHRISTY CROLL (aka TIDDLYINKS).. I was so excited for this birthday card cuz A) this is how she sees me B) I be skinny in this image C) i be veryyyy sexy.  I was thinking to myself.. “self, this is a gorgeous image but I no have  a stamp for this…WEIRD”..

The next day, I get these… hmmmmm.. first one from PAULA..  and I am thinking.. SHE LOOKS LIKE ME (from the waist up).. and I say WHAT IS GOING ON??????  and then I open another envie.. from

and this envie contained KARENABELLA’s card… HMMMMM I say

the next day I got another envelope..LOL.. HMMMMM squared from KIMMIEBELLA

Now I am convinced something is going on…LOL (I know I am a smidge (love that word) slow).. I call Nickabella and ask what is going on?? I am getting these gorgeous card with a STUNNING character (if i do say so myself..LOL) and I don’t even have this stamp?!?!?!  So nickabella laughed at me and said that Christy was up to something..LOL.. she had planned with Nicky and Shannan a little surprise by providing these images and to send them to me in a card..OMG.. I had to email  Christy and ask her if she was NUTS?!  And she just said she loooooved me.  And I SOOOO LOVE HER!! Thank you all so much for making this such a surpRIZE…!!

So then I get MORE MAIL…

AMYRYSAVYbella made a stunning card! notice MY crown..LOL

Here’s Paulabella’s sketch.. for a first attempt at photoshop elements, I think she did really well!

Nickabella made a BEEYOOTIFUL card using mcgill’s LARGE FANCY SQUARE punch for the top two squares and the bottom left square.. Nicky used the dots folder from the new sizzix embossing folder DOTS AND FLOWERS set.  For the bottom right square nicky nested the SMALL FANCY SQUARE PUNCH on the LARGE FANCY SQUARE PUNCH and stamped our CELEBRATE 3 line. HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS CARD?

Danabella made a stunning card using WASABI KETTO’S FLOWER (2 sizes in the package) and our sentiment… is it not STUNNING??????

Jenabella made a BEEYOOTIFUL card using Monarch HUGGABUGG popped in just the right spot!  LOOOVE IT!

Joannabella made a YUMMALISH card using our sentiment.. LOOOOVE THE CULLAHS (colors)

Karenabella made a STUNN-INGGGG card using our PERCOLATOR CIRCLE.  Isn’t it GORGE?? (short for gorgeous.. another entry into the BELLARIFIC dictionary).. she popped and dotted.. I honestly feel like I can POUR from the percolator..LOL!

Lindabella made a stunnalicious (yet another word) using ANISE KETTO’s FLOWERS.. so colorful so beeyootiful.. and she used one of my favorite sentiments .. and the STAGING?  omg

Paulabella made a card not to be believed (losing my touch at SUPERLATIVES..LOL)!  She used MAISY KETTO and Maisy Ketto’s CROWNS in such a fabby dabby way!

Shannanbella made a splendid (LOL never use that word) card using a VARIETY of CHICHIBOULIE stamps.  she used MAISY SUNSHINE, GARDENIA GREENTHUMB, WENDY PAPILLON and ELOISE GREENGRASS.. YUM!!!!

I made a card (no superlatives here) using (my favorite new flower embossing folder.. I know I am annoying) and the GORGEOUS new quickutz CHICKEN NOODLE font (I didn’t make a link here cuz I am solllld outtttttttt but will be getting more..

SARABELLA made a BEAUTIFUL LAYOUT using lots of GOODIES

HAPPY COMMENTING SISTAHS!

and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!!
MWAH!

it’s….. ANYTHING GOES TOOSDAY… LOL (used to be SCRAPPY TOOSDAY) and some BLOGGYCANDY

Sistahs,

Upon MUCH deliberation (i sound so serious AY? LOL), I have decided to change SCRAPPY TOOSDAY to ANYTHING GOES TOOSDAYS..  wonder why?  Cuz my head is in a KAJILLION places at once and I need to just make what I feel like making without being committed to a certain topic.  Sound good?  So.. HAVING SAID THAT….

I am totally addicted to die cuts.  Quickutz to be exact.  OH YA and my BIG SHOT.  It’s SICK!  Even the older dies that have existed forevah (which I own) are just becoming my new BFF’s again LOL.  So I decided that on TOOSDAYS, we will talk about dies, tutorials, scrapbook layouts, dies, quickutz, dies.. LOL you get the picture.  We are squealing with delight in BELLALAND today cuz I think my most “FAVORITIST” (as jayden says) embossing folder has crossed the threshold.  OMG.. I think you will fuh-reak out!  I can’t explain how Nicky and I HUGGED each other when we saw these embossing folders.. *ahem* I mean we THOUGHT about hugging each other.. LOL.  These flowers are the CUTEST FLOWAHS I HAVE EVER SEEN.. and being run through the big shot? OMG.. the detail, the crispness..  I don’t think I have felt this way in a lonnnng time (sorry Ryan..LOL)

here’s a sample that Nicky cooked up in 30 seconds just to show you the deep impression of this die..  is this the cutest thing EVAH? Nicky also used her SIGNATURE retro flower punches as embellishments and Bella’s dots in the center.

Here is a little 4*4 card I made (HAVE I TOLD YOU I AM ALSO ADDICTED TO 4*4 CARDS??? hmph).. ever since I found the envies to fit, I cannot control myself… double hmph..

I LOVE this card (if I do say so myself)..LOL.  Makes me so very SHMAPPY.  I used the Jenni Bowlin MINI PAPERS in TANGERINE DREAM.  I am absolutely IN LOVE with these MINI PAPERS.  SOOO in love with these mini papers… TRIPLE HMPH!! LOL.  They come with a million sheets..(4 sheets of each image) and they are such a teeny print.. perfect for cards!  LOOOOOVE THEM!  Used the quickutz INSTANT PHOTO teeny tiny weeny winy CUUUUUTE polaroid photo quickutz die.  LOOOVE IT!  It’s wonderful for a scrapbook layout as well.. you can actually put background pictures in them..cropped pictures… they look ADORABLE!! I think that Sarahbella will have some samples using this die in a mini book .. TO DIE FOR!  Also used cloud white bonbons in the top corner sprinkled for decoration. Also used the EK SUCCESS BRACKETS PUNCH as an element. CUTE?

Last but not least.. I made ANOTHER 4*4 card (hmph) using the quickutz TELEPHONE die.. and our sentiment.. it just makes me happy! also used PRIMA CAUTION paper from the Rebellious collection

So how’s DAT for anything goes TOOSDAY!

So here’s a CONTEST FOR SOME BLOG CANDY…  WANNA WIN MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITEST EMBOSSING FOLDER IN THE WORLD ??? (see above for deets).. well, I would love to hear what you would like to call these TOOOSDAYS!  So leave a comment and let me know if we should replace “ANYTHING GOES”.. k?  Contest closes NEXT MONDAY JUNE 22nd!
