Hiya sistahs!

Hoping you had an inspirational/craft infested/stamping hysteria type of week 🙂  I am trying to gather my wits together and slot in some ME/STAMP HYSTERIA/COLORING time.  I really don’t know what stamp hysteria is… but it seems like something I would be involved in.. just putting it out there lol

We have a great announcement today!  I am SO SO excited to share the news!

We have a new Baberooni, Christine Levison!

I am so excited.. her energy is CONTAGIOUS.. her love for all things PINK.. divine.. but most of all she LOVES our images.. is passionate about them and I think the love comes out in her work.. just like the rest of our baberoonis.  WE are a very special close group 🙂 and I LOVE IT!

So without further ado, let’s look at what our NEW IN HOUSE rebel made.  She’s a rebel because she didn’t know what our first challenge was (the baberoonis have a special challenge on the first friday every month.  We showcase our Stamp of the Month..)..

Here’s Christine’s card in all its PINKNESS using our Tiny Townie PENELOPE has a PENCIL

Please welcome ChristineABELLA to our group sistahs!

Hiya sistahs!

I hope you are enjoying your week so far!  I wanted to introduce you to our guest designer this month, Michelle Short.  UMMMM.. where do I begin with this one.. I started admiring Michelle’s work on Instagram and have been hooked ever since.. there’s nothing like a beautiful clean card.. and Michelle’s style fits the bill.  I think I drooled a little when I would see her work.. but please don’t tell my kids.. they already think I’m a senior LOL.  You should DEFINITELY follow Michelle’s Instagram feed @thecardgrotto   so that you can share in my drool problem  n’k?  You can also follow Michelle on her amazing blog

No without further ADO.. check out this AMAZING card she made using our KITTY and MOUSIE  CELEBRATE a BIRTHDAY STUFFIES

now enought of my blurb..

Here’s Michelle!

Hello there, Michelle here and I am delighted to be joining Stamping Bella this month. I absolutely adore Stamping Bella images, they are wonderful to colour. Bellas were the first images I used when I first discovered Copics and they have been a firm favourite ever since.

My card today uses the adorable Kitty & Mousie Celebrate A Birthday stamp. How adorable are the Stuffies range? So cute! I coloured Kitty and Mousie with Copics, making sure to add some blue behind them so that they pop from the card and create a little scene too. I added shimmer pen to the banners to give a little something to the image as well.

The image was simply added to a purple card base with foam tape. I love to give Stamping Bella images centre stage. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit today. I am looking forward to sharing my next project with you next Wednesday.

Hey everyone! Elaineabella here with the weekly Spotlight On feature. As with last week I’m going to completely ignore that lovely enticing new release and show you some inspiration for another oldy but goody. Hopefully I’ll inspire you to dig out the stamp if you already have it or to come to your senses and add it to your collection if not!
