Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win $10 in bella bucks

Mwah to da sistahs who can’t wait for SNOW!

Next week’s theme?  A SKETCHYPOO

mwah mwah mwah

I Love looking at my baberooni’s blogs and seeing gorgeous pieces of art 🙂  In case you haven’t gone to their blogs (which I urge you to do),  take a looky at a few samples here to get your creative juices flowing… (I’m drowning in mine..LOL)

*** JUST A LITTLE NOTE!  We are looking for some SPLITCOAST / SOCIAL MEDIA bellarific babes.  Take a looky here to see if you qualify.. and if you do, send your info my way!  This is our first “open call”.. so take advantage!**

I Just sat down quickly to use my new JAVA SPILLS stamp (which I LOVE) to make a background for a card.. I used Distress ink and a water brush to SHMOOSH the ink (YES shmoosh is a technical term..LOL)… I used some sharpies to add some dots and a copic multiliner to write my sentiment.  Sentiments are great to purchase as rubber stamps.. but sometimes you just can’t find the right one.. know what I mean, bean?  I recommend writing it.. making your card a little more personal 🙂  remember : IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT!! repeat that after me “IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT”.. K.  I think you got it.

Carlabella is BACK and here’s an inspiring card using our THINKING BIRDS stamp and the sentiment that goes with MABEL REACHES for the STARS

and of course what’s the OUTSIDE card of Carla’s without the INSIDE..LOL

Paulineabella used uptown girl PERRY on her LAPTOP

Elaineabella used our POLAROID FRAME here and UPTOWN GIRL QUINN and her BOOTS

Marybella used UPTOWN GIRL POSH and her PRESENTS

Vickibella used PREGAPEEP

Cathabella used HAT and MITTS

Danabella used LULU’S SNOWMAN

Is that inspiring or what?

Now I was thinkin’… if you, da sistahood upload your cards in the splitcoast gallery , I would LOVE to showcase YOUR card on our blog.. I think  I may do these on wednesdays 🙂  .. I will go scouting for some goodies and check back and see if your card shows up here!

Mwah to da sistahs who are feeling INSPIRED.

Hiya sistahs!  hope you had a great weekend 🙂

I couldn’t resist stealing one of my JAVA SPILLS stamps.. first to make sure the quality was amazing (hehehe).. and second of all I am always the shoemaker with no shoes so I swiped it.  hehehe.  Im so sneaky..

Anyway here’s the report

THEY ARE FREAKING AMAZING…. can you hear me through your monitor?  FREAKING AMAZING!!!  Not only do I stare at the colour to inspire me but to stamp with them??? DEEEVINE!

I will make a card with them shortly but just wanted to play around in my journal and show you what they looked like in walnut stain distress ink… gesso… num num

See you tomorrow for AJ TOOSDAY!  STICKER THEME

THEY ARE DIVINE.

THEY ARE OUR NEW RELEASE in our NEW EXCLUSIVE ROBIN’S EGG BLUE colour

AND THEY ARE MOUNTED.  They may even be EDIBLE.. they are SOOO bright.. like candies (you can’t tell in the picture)

Enjoy and thank you for your patience my sistahs!

This is our NEW RELEASE ONLY.. and the rest of the stampies are being worked on 🙂

Mwah.

P.S. I forgotted about da leaves.

Hiya sistahs!

well it’s a gloomy Bellarific Friday here in Toronto. BLAH.  I do carpool with my BFF every day and she takes the kids to school and I pick them up every day.. this morning I waited outside with the kids for her to arrive and I took this picture

I see the poor leaves CLUTCHING on for dear life and it just makes me so sad.. I also remember the story called THE LAST LEAF by O. Henry.. I loved that story and will never forget sitting at my grandmother’s house watching it as a short film.. I must have been 8 years old and I remember the effect it had on me then.  I believe the movie starred Art Carney if I am not mistaken..  Anyway.. I am not gonna depress you all..LOL.. just thought I would share a “moment” I had this morning.
