WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I have been gone WAY too long.  I PROMISE this won’t EVAH happen again!  It’s been crazy!  Kids have been off for 2 + weeks.. we are in the midst of moving homes.. don’t ask.  It AINT PRETTY. LOL

So I will try my best to be around but as of February, I will be around A LOT.  You may even get sick of me LOL.  I am around on Facebook and Instagram though so if you follow me there, you should be able to see what I have been up to !

Ok so I wanted to announce this week’s theme as Bellarific Friday resumes THIS FRIDAY! WOOHOO!

This week’s theme is ****ANYTHING GOES*** so if you did any bella crafting this holiday, send it in (as long as it is a current image!).. Would LOVE to see what you have been up to!

So here are some NEW ideas we have come up with for 2015.   We are always open to new ideas so please share your ideas in the comments below!

We will  be having a STAMP OF THE MONTH every month where we offer that one stamp for 20% off retail price!  This week da BABES are working on our GRACIE image!  Wait til you see what they come up with this Friday showcasing the adorable image!  Gracie is now offered at 20% off 🙂

We will also be having CRAZY TUESDAYS ! Every 1st TUESDAY of the month I will be featuring some stamps at a CRAZY RIDICULOUS price!  Could be 1, 2, 3, 10 stamps.. you will have to check on that particular TUESDAY.  our first CRAZY TUESDAY will be NEXT TUESDAY, Jan. 14th.  The prices for these stamps will be valid for 24 HOURS only!

I also wanted to welcome a new BABEROONI to our team.  Her name is Kerri Boucher and I have known her forevah!  She used to come to our store.. shop til she dropped.. took classes.. and she has come a long way !  Her cards are BEEYOOTIFUL and I know you will love her as much as I do.  you can check out her blog HERE.  Please give her a WARM SISTAHOOD welcome here or on her blog.  I know she will love it 🙂

Well.. We finally figured out how to link them to an image online LOL.. took about 3 months.

What is a Colormap?  A Colormap is basically a map of our images and which Copic marker colors Elaineabella used when she coloured them.  It is not just exclusive to Copics, however.  Looking at these maps can inspire you to use the color combinations in any medium you use when coloring our images!  That’s what I love so much about these little treasures!

For more information on how you are eligible to receive these colormaps, read HERE

Now these colormaps are available for current images only.  I will be going through orders from October onwards  and sending you your color maps based on the orders you placed.  This is a WORK IN PROGRESS LOL and will take me a while to complete.  so please bear with me!

I can’t wait for you tol see how useful these Colormaps are!

I hope you enjoy them!

MWAH

Em

Hope you had a great week!  Our sale last week was OUTTA control and I thank YOU for that :).. All orders should be on their way to you or if not yet, very soon!

Winner is:

FAY!  Fay you win!  Please email me for your vouchah!

Keep contributin’ sistahs for your chance to win!   Please note that our VOUCHAH amount has been reduced to $25 per month (starting this month DECEMBER).  We want to have more and more contests coming so we need to share the funds!…so stay tuned!

Hiya sistahs!

It’s snowing here in Toronto, and what better way of cheering ME up is to make my sistahs excited and HAPPY :).  This is our first REAL American Thanksgiving having moved to the U.S in October so we wanted to celebrate for REALS.   We are having our last sale of 2014 where the WHOLE STORE is 20% off!!  This is a great opportunity to stock up for yourself, or for family and friends 🙂

Simply use coupon code: appreciate2014 at the end of your order and *POOF* 20% off the total will disappear.  I am now trying this code business with my weight.  If I enter my ideal weight will it *POOF* and disappear too? hmph.   So I hope you take advantage and enjoy taking advantage of this discount as much as I enjoy giving it 🙂

And we have LOTS to look forward to in January.  I have a BRAND NEW line coming out which you will F-A-I-N-T and S-W-O-O-N over.  I promise…  It’s insanely adorable.  Trust da bella ok?

Now for this week’s Bellarific Friday!

Our theme was “HOLIDAY WISHES” .. free to interpret as you wish 🙂
