Omg sistahs ! I am so excited about a new shipment we received! I decided that I am gonna “test” the market and perhaps start bringing things in that appeal to da sistahs… not just stamp related but of course stationery/gift/paper/sistah related. We are a sistahood right? we buy gifts right? We all LOVE the same things right? Most stamp companies sell stamps and stamp supplies.. but I LOVE giftware.. I love UNIQE items.. I love giving gifts and OF COURSE I love receiving gifts. I LOVE affordable fun items too.. SOOOO I decided to bring in this line.. just to test DA watAHS (waters in case you are new and don’t speaky my language LOL).. and see if this is something da sistahs wanna see in the future.. I figure if I own it.. I think da sistahs would like to own it too.. and maybe share with others. QUANTITIES ARE VEHERRRY LIMITED so if this is a stocking stuffer, a Chanukah gift.. a hostess, birthday, i just love you gift.. better act fast!
Don’t worry this absolutely does not affect our stamp line.. I already have our next few releases being worked on (they are PHENOM) .. this is just a little “BELLA LOVES THIS” type of thing I wanted to add to our line.. k?
So without further ADO.. wanna see what I got????
So I own all of these (yes I am crazy).. these bags are DA BOMB.. they are TOUGH ( made of recycled materials.. they are coated.. kind of feel like rice bags).. they have a strong great zipper.. and they fit A LOT.. and I mean A LOT. I have these in all my travel bags.. I have 2 in my purse.. don’t ask.. I LOVE THESE! And the price? FANTASTIQUE!
I LOVE art and illustrations.. I love type and font.. I love collage.. I love inspiring words and messages (you can tell from all of my sentiments right?) and I want to share this love with you!
check these out..(more images on our website if you just click on “CLICK FOR MORE IDEAS” you will see a thumbnail under the mail photo
First we have our new pencil cases by BLUE Q
Now for our ZIPPER CASES
BE BOLD ZIPPER case (I mean really.. is it not true?)
i *HEART* my stuff zipper case
JUNK DRAWER zipper case.. RIGHT? my whole purse is a junk drawer LOL
RANDOM CRAP zipper case (LOL! )
You’re beautiful don’t change (SERIOUSLY? EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS)
NOW FOR OUR SHOPPER TOTES
BOOKLOVER shopper tote (I know a lot of our sistahs are book lovers, yes?)
COLORFEST SHOPPER (I could look at these shapes and colours all day every day).. and the fact that I can now BRING IT WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO? Phenom.
FOXY shopper.. look at these colors and illustrations!
NOW FOR OUR HANDY TOTES
Perfect size for journaling, lunch, accessories magazines books.. you get the picture
And this illustration? the giraffes? LOVE. I CAN’T EVEN!!!!
and the side panel ? CANNOT.
Dick and JANE HANDY TOTE.. remember those readers?
and the “YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL DON’T CHANGE” handy tote.. (WE ALWAYS NEED TO REMEMBER THIS.. what a pretty reminder!)
and here’s the shoulder tote I fell in love with! It’s small and has a zipper! Perfect for all your goodies! I LOVE CHICKENS!!! and I love “LIVIN THE DREAM” lol
And here’s the side panel which I love too! (I can’t can you?)
So whaddya think of this TASTER? HMMMM?
Hope you love it as much as DIS BELLA DOES!
MWAH to BLUE Q and YOU!

Hiya sistahs! I am SO SO sorry for the delay in this post but I was away for my boy’s hockey tournament.. it was SO exciting and SO jam packed.. it was 3 days of CUH-RAZY. I always vowed that I would NEVER be one of THOSE hockey moms out there but *ahem* alas I have become one. I shouting, cheering, crying mess of emotions LOL.. For REALS. These kids worked SO hard this weekend and they WON!!! They learned a valuable lesson this weekend.. NOT TO EVER GIVE UP.. they were down by 2 goals and they never gave up and ended up winning. I can’t even tell you how crazy it was.. and of COURSE how CRAZY proud I was of my little goalie
Here he was making the final glove save as the buzzer rang and we won the tournament (the following 2 photos cost me $45 but who could resist right?)
And this face? they call it “the MOMMY shot”.. I wonder why.. cuz we can’t resist it? YUP.
Ok enough about me 🙂 Let’s start this bellarific friday show!

Hope you’re still with me sistahs! Tomorrow is the big day where you can go BELLA WILD LOL!
5 sneak peeks today!
This first one is one of my favorites and I have been hinting to it for the last 2 weeks… Now just bear with me. You may not understand it right away… but just wait. One of my close friends emailed me THIS article.. some parts are a bit lewd.. some are bit risque.. so read at your own risk. I myself was CRYING laughing so hard… Ok so next step in the process… I start using I CANT EVEN every day.. and I start liking it. Third step.. start using it with Elaineabella daily.. 4th step.. discuss with Elaineabella which of our characters would depict the “I CANT EVEN” the best… 5th step.. took Elaine’s idea of having the COOL CHICKS represent it… 6th step.. FLEW with it and worked with Chrystal on it and 7th step.. GOT THE BEST IMAGES EVAH. LOL.
oh and 8th step? walked through WALMART and saw this shirt and KNEW it was meant to be :). Seriously. I just COULDN’T. (you can change the verb tense freely if you would like to.. this would be the past tense of I just can’t… TOTALLY passable 🙂 )
Ok so how do I explain this term… I can’t even. It is either SUPER amazing.. or SUPER horrible.. the fact that you “can’t EVEN” means the situation is WAY past the “toleration point” LOL for example… My child is throwing a hissy fit.. I look at my husband in despair and I say “I just CAN’T”.. I don’t need to explain further.. he takes over. I go into a stamp store with a friend.. I look around me and then I look at my friend and say “I CAN’T EVEN..”.. she knows I am overwhelmed and excited… does it make sense? LOL.. you’ll see.. you’ll start using it.
Ok so without further ADO.. let me introduce you to “THE CHICKS WHO COULDN’T EVEN”.. I am warning you that they are WAY dramatic.. They TOTALLY CANNOT AND WILL NOT.. LOL.
Those faces.. the one on the wall.. the one on his side and the one on his tummy? OMG.. they make me so happy. BUT DON’T despair if you just “CAN’T” with the sentiments.. I put these in for my own selfish reasons :)… You can use these chicks for ANY occasion.. bad day… needing to cope.. I’m sorry..LOL.. I LOVE THESE CHICKS!!
I just stuck them in my journal to make me smile every time I open it which is often 🙂
this entry I just wrote that this is how my daughter felt after her hockey game today LOL.. She just couldn’t. This is in my “FAUXDORI” notebook with “MIDORI” inserts.. my favorite planner/journalling system ever 🙂
Ok our next set is a MINI ENVELOPE ACCENT collection .. also from our Mister Postie Line.. these are TEENY TINY and SOOO MUCH FUN!! the “DO NOT CRUMPLE and DO NOT TOSS” and the paper airplane icons are my favorite LOL.. who am I kidding.. I LOVE THEM ALL! And the words are all separated from the icons.. so you can use these on anything! your post it notes.. journals.. mini NOTELETS (lol I just had to.. I couldn’t NOT)
And a little sample I threw together
On the above envelope I also used the OPEN ME border from our OPEN ME (Mister Postie collection).. seriously that BIRD? the UMMM HI? The happy mail enclosed? YUMMALICIOUSNESS.. Im gonna use these like CUH-RAZY.
I also used the OPEN ME on the package I sampled on the post 2 days ago. I LOVE that stamp!
and FINALLY we have EDWARD the EDGY BUNNY. Now why is he edgy you ask? Well he’s kind of a “goth” bunny LOL… I was a bit spooked by his eyes at first and then I said I wouldn’t have him ANY OTHER WAY.. he’s ADORABLE as is as an envelope embellishment… SEEE? And the snail mail is from YET another set see below!
Now if you are spooked by his eyes, I made a cute little row of different Edwards by adding “eyeballs” in myself 🙂 LOVE. (if you click on him, you will see 4 different Edwards)
I also whipped up a cute little EDWARD CARD!
So that’s Edward
last but not least we have the HELLO MISTER POSTIE set.. You can see the snail mail icon above.. I didn’t have a chance to play with the other two but I Can’t wait til I can sit down and spend quality time with them!
OH Oh OH!!! forgot to tell you!!! We are also launching 9 dies that go with our most popular images from our last release!! We are jumping on the Die Bandwagon.. you just wait and see what we come up with 🙂
And that’s all folks..
Mwah to da sistahs who are SO HAPPY to be rid of me for a while LOL

And another one from our Mister Postie collection!
Here’s CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ENVELOPE ACCENTS
These are the CUH-YOU-TEST (had to write phonetically LOL) little itty bitty stamps you have ever seen. AND THAT SEAL? Who needs wax? LOL
These 6 stamps are so versatile.. to decorate your envies, packages, boxes for Christmas.. to make place cards for your dinner table.. to make little NOTELETS (yes I am OBSESSED with this word).. tags.. cards.. . get my point?
First of all.. can we discuss the “wax” seal? I am obssessed and I think I need a seal for every holiday now.. LOL
*** please note that I just got my stamps yesterday so these are VERY quick samples I whipped up just to show you how to use them:)****
I mean.. HELLO… is this not the cutest thing ever? LOL (it’s the little things sistahs…)
Then I decorated the front of an envie with the gift stamp from this new Christmas Spirit set and a sentiment from THIS set (I got a LITTLE carried away with my white prismacolor pencil.. I just get tingles when I see the white JUMP off the manila envie… You’re learning A LOT about me this release ay? LOL)
Here’s a little set of gift tags I made VERY quickly just to show you how cute and small these stamps are 🙂
There are SO many more possibilities.. I just got started 🙂
Now for the next image for today?
Meet UPTOWN GIRL CHRYSTAL’S Christmas Label
Another amazing image ready for all of your packages, envelopes or cards!
Again, I just got my stamps so please forgive the sloppy samples LOL
Again with the white prismacolor pencil LOL.. I paper pieced her dress.. did some white highlights.. now just have to address the envelope. Even if you leave her all in black ink and color the candy cane or just her dress.. it’s up to you.. the sky’s the limit!
I bought a kraft box from the dollar store.. I trimmed scrapbook paper to fit the top and then I got this gorgeous paper that I am obssessed with called TOMOE RIVER paper.. got a ream of it LOL.. I bought it from NANAMI paper .. an amazing stationery shop with lots of goodies from Japan (I am a HUGE stationery NERD).. anyway this paper is amazing for fountain pen ink.. it is very thin.. and it takes watercolor too.. so I decided to stamp on it and color just bits here and there.. this paper is luscious. It’s like a vellum.. I wanna lick it 🙂 (toldja I was a nerd)
Despite my sloppiness, I hope I have inspired you today!
WANNA WIN BOTH OF THESE???

All winners will be announced tomorrow night before the release!
