WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hiya sistahs!

well this release was just amazing.  You guys went insane LOL.. which validates to me that you loved the images :).. I love that you love the images.  For REALS.

This week’s bellarific theme was ANYTHING GOES!    But for our Baberoonis it wasnt’ lol.. It was a theme as we do every first friday of the month.. a theme using our Stamp of the month!  This month’s stamp of the month should be called stampS of the month!  I put all of our BIG WORDS on sale for 20% off because I just couldn’t pick one.  SO… If you ever wanted to try these images now’s the time!  You can find all of them HERE.  When you see the words in pink on the image, they were made smaller for the inside of the card.  Sometimes you just want to put a little something in there and can’t think of the right words.  right?

Ok so let’s see what our Baberoonis came up with shall we?

 

AliceWERTZabella used Uptown girl OPAL the OPTIMIST AND RIDICULOUSLY BRILLIANT

Angelabella used SOMETIMES people FORGET

Kerribella used SOMETIMES PEOPLE FORGET and SENIORITAS MILDRED and MAUDE

hiya sistahs!

Sorry for such a late post :(.. we were IMMERSED in a hockey tournament and I haven’t had two seconds to escape and write !  So I will REFRAIN from any stories and get right to da POINT!

I will pick da winnahs of da STAMPIES tonight!  So make sure you place your comments ASAP so we can close them all up and start fresh tomorrow.  Sound good?

ok.. let’s go!

First stamp I wanted to show you today is the mooshy squooshy cutie named Milton.  I mean COME ON.. How can anyone resist him.  He told me you can even call him Miltie for short.  He is just DEELISH.

Meet Miltie!  Coloured by our Elaineabella.  I mean SERIOUSLY.  Now do you see what I mean????

Here are some inspirational cards using Milton

Here’s Kerribella’s MILTON card.

Here’s Sandiebella’s card using Milton

and here’s Sandy Allnock(abella’s) card using her HEX chart and our image! (didjabuyityet?)

Here’s another card by TRACYMACABELLA 🙂

Is he not the cutest little mouse/hamster/gerbil/ you have ever seen??!??  me thinks so.

And now for our second sneaky peeky by Christine Grove….. GAMBLARITAS!  I just love these women..  I always wanted to start my own little poker group.. or bridge.. or mahjongg.. or BINGO….. and the sentiment?  So. SO. SO. true.  Should be all of our mantras. And for that reason, I advised them to play with me at Bingo Buddha, so even in different places we can still connect and play online.

Meet our Gamblaritas.. the newest addition to our “SENIOR-ITA” line.. the visors.. the wine.. Oh.. Ingrid in the middle is on a bit of a diet.. so she’s sipping her spritzer.. she didn’t tell anyone about the chips she has hiding under the table.  SHHH.

And here’s my card using Gamblaritas.. I had so much fun with them.  Oh, except for the part where I had to FIND those little MINI playing cards in my stash.  you didn’t wanna SEE da bella searching for them.  There may have been a few harsh words said ..  Ingrid even offered me a few chips to appease me.  Didn’t help.  But I FOUND THEM!!

Here’s my card 🙂

 

Sistahs, I SO LOVED spending the last two weeks with you so so much 🙂  you were SUCH good company 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who love to gamble a little.. who love Miltons a little.. and who love new releases!

Hiya sistahs!  2 more days until you can all be unleashed like MONSTAHS!

I am SOOO  happy you love this release  ALMOST as much as I do *wink*.. I love hearing your stories.. why you love the images.. how you can relate to them.. how they tell YOUR story.  To me, they are not just little pieces of RUBBAH.. they are pieces of my heart and I am so thankful I can bring joy to your smooshie faces that I would hug and kiss if I saw you.. (is that wrong?) LOL.

I kinda saved Tiny Townie Hayley for today..  I really don’t know why.. LOL.. I just wanted to “SAVE ” her.. LOL.  I LOVE her and her sentiment and I think she applies to every sistah out there.. young or older, plump or skinny.. wrinkly or smooth.. doesn’t MATTAH… if we can’t find our own HERO.. we need to be our own.  Amen sistahs.

Hope you love superhero Hayley as much as I do 🙂

This image was coloured of course by one of my favorite heros  Elaineabella.

Sistahs!

What am I gonna do on Monday, when the release is here and I don’t talk to you anymore? LOL.. Oh one of my goals is to blog more frequently.. even if it is a little sample.. a little link.. SOMETHING.  I love knowing you are there 🙂

So I told my Jayden to read the post and the comments yesterday.. she LOVED the post but of course I got.. “whaddya mean, you don’t love us all the time..LOL”.. I had to advise her it was just a JOKE.. silly girl.. and then she said “WHADDYA MEAN I’M A NUTBAR??”… So I banned her from the blog.  LOL.  She’s done.  I said don’t you appreciate mommy spotlighting you and creating stamps after you?  She says yes but I’m a nutbar.  So that’s where THAT went.  Then I had the  boy child saying, I don’t understand why you always feature JAY… do you love her more?  So this is it sistahs.. an ALL ADULT sistahood.  They are NOT invited to my party NO MO’.

Today is a GREAT day!  We have 2 AMAZING, whimsical, ELEGANT stamps to present.  Yes they are ALSO my favorites but I’m “playing it down” so I don’t annoy anybody LOL.

Today we feature 2 new CLOSEUPS.  What I love about the closeups is that they have a little “frou frou” but they also capture the simple feeling.. the moment.. a bit of a “snapshot” of a time or celebration.  The details are as amazing as ever  and they are SO MUCH FUN to COLOUR!

I hope you love them as much as I do and I hope they are part of your “favourites” list 🙂

as you know.. all images are coloured in  by our amazing Elaineabella (@markergeek on instagram)

Introducing….. drum roll please….

“I DO”.. see? just them holding hands tightly sets the tone of what’s to come.  I love her bow.. and how her hand is cupped.  And of course.. the sentiment 🙂

here are some sample cards using I DO by our amazing DT!

Here is Shelabella’s card using “I DO”.. i see her dress as vintage satin.. dreamy and delicious..

Here is Sandiebella’s card  a more modern look.. looks like organza and a crisp beautiful white

And our second closeup sneak peek is called “IN LOVE”.. And the quote?  sighhhhh. and her little bun? and the way his hand is wrapped around hers again?  I love that.

Here’s Danabella’s sample using them 🙂

Just GORGEOUS!!

Ok that was a mouthful!!!

Let’s move on to BELLARIFIC FRIDAY shall we!

This week’s theme was “ANYTHING GOES!”.. easy peasy.  Let’s see what our baberoonis came up with shall we?

Alice WERTZABELLA used nice to SEE you Petunia

Angelabella used Uptown girl OPAL the OPTIMIST (she’s a glass half full type of gal)

kerribella used Petunia and Penny take a BREAK

and the inside of the card uses our BIG WORDS HOW DO YOU SPELL LOVE

Lesliebella used I HEART YOU (I feel like her today LOL)

and the inside.. simple and adorable 🙂

Tell me Stephabella’s card is not INSANELY amazing?  She used 4 stamps!  She used – top left is UPTOWN GIRL MADISON, top right: Uptown girl VIENNA, bottom left Maybelline LOVES MAIL and bottom right is AVA.  Love this card!  I think she needs to mail it to me.  Like right now. LOL.  I always say, using portions of your stamp keeps the stamp fresh and fun to use!  Look at your stamps in a different way.. are there elements you can punch out and use?  That’s a good challenge actually!

Tracybella used UPTOWN GIRL SABRINA loves the SPA

TracyMACabella used Maisy and Madeline share some tea

Are these amazingly DEELISH or WHAT?

Now for our amazing sistahood!

 

Such GORGEOUS CREATIONS!!!

Next week’s theme is ANYTHING GOES again!  WOOHOO!  So use any CURRENT bella stamp and you’re good to go 🙂

Sistahs,

I seriously have a problem.  A BIG ONE.  I think I am FICKLE.  Or undecided.  Or pressuring myself for no reason.  Why oh why do I FEEL like I have to have favorites in this release? LOL.. Like a sistah said in the comments.. you can’t have favorites.. its like choosing one child over another (there are times… ok I won’t get into that .. too dangerous.. and sometimes they read my blog .. HA!).. but I DO feel like I have to have a favorite…. and the bottom line is, when I put a line of images together (trust me sistahs.. between working closely with the artists to get the images “just so”.. then researching and trying to find THE PERFECT sentiment..  then NAMING them), I have so much time and love invested in these images that seriously, I LOVE THEM ALL EQUALLY and ALL for different reasons.  It’s the truth!  There is not ONE image that I have released that I did not ADORE.  They all mean something to me.. they all tell my story (as I mentioned in my first blog starting this release -I hope you’re all still with me!)

Ok so here are my FAVORITES… for today!  And I think you will love them just as much as I do.  they are really AMAZING and FUNNY.. and CUTE.. and Whimsical.. ahhhhhh! here I go again.

First I would like you to re-aquaint yourselves to  our famous Petunia.  She just seems to find herself in different “situations” shall we say.  I am not quite sure who found who first, but she managed to steal this little townie’s heart and boy are they headed towards some BIG adventures.. I feel it in my bones.  They even have matching headbands.. not sure how they coordinated that 😉

Here’s Petunia gets a PIGGY back… GET IT?  PIGGY BACK?  (i kill me LOL)  This is a great image for friendship.. for room mates.. or just like that.. it’s such a playful image.. that’s what I love about it. And the sentiment?!  LOVE.

Here’s a card made by our very own ALICEWERTZABELLA

Here’s a cardmade by our own KERRIBELLA

Here’s the INSIDE of Kerri’s card.. the card had a circle punch showing the top of Petunia gets a piggy back.. GORGEOUS idea!

ok Seriously.. is Petunia gets a PIGGY back not TO DIE FOR??!?  Those faces!! Sheesh .. i gotta stop.

BUT I CAN’T!!!!!

hehehehe.  This next image is close to my heart.. ya know why?  Because it was inspired by my little FREE SPIRIT Jayden.  This girl is such a character I tell ya.  She marches to the beat of her own drum (hmmm I wonder who she takes after?)… She is BRAVE (definitely not me).. she is CURIOUS (ok maybe a little me)… She loves to try new things and EXPERIMENT (TOTALLY ME) …and she is definitely not a “girly girl”.. (I have to play with the dollhouse myself.. hmph).. And I embrace all of her little shenanigans …  So when she said “mom, I LOVVVE science.. I wanna be a CHEMIST”… I ran out and bought her a kit.. Well.. you had to see my kitchen table.. and HER.  She became INSANE.. LOL.. like a real mad scientist.. her hair all over the place.. goggles.. Well, YOU be the judge.  Take a look at my Jayden.. LOL..

Is she a nutbar or what?  You’re probably wondering  .. WHY oh WHY Em, are you sharing this annoying and long story with us ?  Well, glad you asked!  LOL. Just wanted to show you that LIFE and MY STORY inspire Stamping Bella stamps.. K?  YOU READY FOR THIS ONE?

Meet Sage the Scientist 🙂

SEEE??? And that SENTIMENT??!?!??!?!?!?!?!   OMG I would send this card to EVERYONE I MEET ON THE STREET I love it so much LOL.  So my Jayden became OUR Sage..  I love her so . very. much.  I guess she has a special place in my heart and now you know why!  This would be great for any great friend (or maybe not so great so at least they can smile -you know those types of people who could use a smile LOL)  and little adventurous girl in your life… Adult, little.. doesnt matter.  I try to make these images universal 🙂

This card using Sage was made by SHELABELLA

This card using Sage was made by Kerribella

Ok.. I have no words.. Im all FARKLEMPT.  Seriously I love these.  I love my Design Team.. I love my Artists.. I love my IHCC (in house colouring counsel LOL) Elaineabella… .

WANNA CHANCE TO WIN THEM?!?!?

Place a comment here.. and let me know whatcha think.

I am working on an “add on’ to my blog where when I respond to your comments, you will be notified so you can come back and see.. I wanna comment on all of your comments but not sure there is any point, unless I know you are coming back!  So this will ensure and force you to come back to me 🙂

I really hope you love my stories and these images today 🙂

Mwah to my Sistahs and my Family for my DAILY inspiration.  now THAT’s for REALS.
