And it’s Sept 11th.. very bittersweet :(. Every year I take a moment to remember. To remember where I was.. what I was doing.. what others were doing.. how many families who were affected by this tragedy. How many people were spared… 14 years ago today. It totally seems like yesterday. Where oh where does the time go sistahs?
Ok enough complaining.. let’s embrace today.. be mindful of all that surrounds us and GRATEFUL of what we have 🙂
Today’s theme for Bellarific Friday was a sketchypoo
Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with… I also participated this week! WOOHOO!
AliceWERTZabella used MERRY EVERYTHING
Danabella used Petunia and Penny take a Break
and the inside with one of my FAVORITE sentiments 🙂
Here is my card.. finally finished colouring this image! I just love them so much 🙂 I used ESKIMO KISSES
Kerribella used KISSES FOR MY SWEET
Lesliebella used Uptown girl AVA loves to CELEBRATE
Sandiebella used SNOWPALS
Shelabella used SEASONS GREETINGS
Stephabella used HEY BUD
Tracybella used TINY TOWNIE WILLOW the WITCH

How AMAZING are these cards??? I can’t wait to start colouring again.. it is meditative and SO addictive!

Now for next week’s challenge?
An inspiration photo! Use any or all of the elements in this photo in your card.. could be the color.. the theme.. the stripe.. the textures.. whatever inspires you!

I love fridays! do you?
so many things to do before school starts on Tuesday. OMG SCHOOL STARTS!!!! Know what that means??? It MEANS… that you will be hearing a LOT more from me! hehehehe. I have lots of ideas up my sleeve.. just have to make them come to life!
I’ll keep you posted. Promise.
Speaking of SCHOOL… I am not sure if you follow me on Facebook, but if you don’t, I wanted to share an article I wrote for my friend’s amazing website called WISE Women Canada. Since I shared this story on my personal Facebook page, she has been harassing me to write it so I did :).. A little embarassing admitting this on paper, but I hope I helped some people along the way LOL. If you would like to read my article, you can find it HERE but don’t judge n’k? I would TOTALLY recommend subscribing to their site and “like” their FACEBOOK page.. they are AWESOME SAUCE. For REALS (I always wanted to say AWESOME SAUCE)
Ok and now for our REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM…
Bellarific Friday!
The theme this week was to CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND… Let’s see what our baberooni’s came up with shall we? Oh, and because this is the FIRST FRIDAY of the month, our Baberoonis are using our STAMP of the MONTH….. UPTOWN GIRL SOFIA the SICKY! She’s 20% off all month long!
Here’s ALICEWERTZABELLA’s card

Good morning sistahs!
Happy September 1st! Yesterday was my 18th wedding anniversary, today Crazy Toosday… what could be next? LOL
We have chosen 3 amazing images today… I mean.. how could you go wrong!
The idea behind CRAZY TOOSDAY is for us to “give back to you”.. our amazing sistahs… A little gift 🙂 It’s a great opportunity to stock up on gifts for yourself or other sistahs… an “excuse” to shop.. (I mean how can you refuse ?) and , well, just because.
Don’t forget, this special is like Cinderella’s chariot LOL.. at midnight, it disappears.. so get crackin’!
Mwah to da sistahs who love a good deal 🙂
OHHH almost forgot! Our Stamp of the month is UPTOWN GIRL SOFIA is a SICKY! 20% off all month long!

I am screaming from da rooftops! FINALLY I can unleash da images! my 2 weeks of previews are ALWAYS selfish because I love hanging out with my sistahs 🙂 I hope you enjoyed these last 2 weeks. I promise I won’t bug you for a little while 😉
*** WE ARE OFFERING 15% off of ALL of our HOLIDAY IMAGES as well as our BRAND NEW RELEASE in order to celebrate our AMAZINGLY FESTIVE holiday release!*** All of the images are already marked down, so no code necessary :)***
Ok.. here’s a recap of the release… ready freddy?
Tiny TOWNIE Jenny feels JOYFUL
CHRISTMAS MORNING CHICKS
Wow. I’m so impressed with myself. This was AWESOME. This is EXHILIRATING! You don’t know how much this “CONNECTION” we have with feedback etc means to me.. hearing your stories.. your memories… THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT SISTAHS. Stamping is MAGICAL.. for that little moment in time you feel like a true artist AND YOU ARE ONE! ALWAYS remember that. Knowing that people can “associate” and connect with ME and my stamps means the world to me. That’s what has kept this little business going for the last 10 years. OMG 10 years. Cray Cray right?
Mwah to da sistahs who really KNOW how much I love them
