WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

and I am leaving on a “girls” vacation with my daughter to Florida to meet my mom… any bets if we all come back in one piece? LOL… lots of hormones.  Going for 10 glorious days leaving my weepy husband and son :(.. That’s the only part that’s bothering me.. leaving my boys!

This week’s bellarific Friday theme was an INSPIRATION PHOTO! And what a BEEYOOTIFUL one at that!

Let’s see how our Baberoonis interpreted this photo shall we?  They are SOO amazing.. just you wait and see!

Arent these all stunning and inspiring?  I bet you’re all RUNNING to your craft room to make something.  If you’re not, I suggest you do!  And while you’re there, why not work on next week’s theme?  It’s our LAST challenge of 2015 and we thought we would end the year with a “NEW BEGINNING” or a new relationship with someone you may know!   I approached JULEE TILMAN of VERVE STAMPS.. the creator of MOJO MONDAYS.. she’s  SO talented and she honestly whips up the BEST sketches EVAH… So I asked if she would do a little collaboration with DA bella and make us some Bellarific Friday sketches and SHE SAID YES!!!  I am SO excited to introduce you to ONE of many of her amazing sketches you will see here!  Please go visit her Shop and her MOJO MONDAY site for AMAZING inspiration!  Thank you JULEE!
