My Design Team has done it again.. A few sneaky peekies here.. a few sneaky peekies there,,, here a peeky there a peeky.. everywhere a peeky peeky.. LOL (I bet you’re singing old mcdonald…)

Let’s take a glimpse around our DT’s blogs and see what they have come up with to inspire you… This is one of my best releases coming up (ya ya I say that every time).. but this time I have a SHMORGASBORD (oh how I love that word)  of different TYPES of stamps.. We will satisfy every need.. ok well maybe NOT the need for french fries..HMPH.

Cathabella used our NEW stamp UPTOWN GIRL CAITLIN’s having a CUPCAKE party.  How many points do you think the one on the right is?  that’s the one I WANT.  hmph squared.

Danabella used our new “PENGUIDEER” stamp.. LOL.. I love him.

Regabella used RAMONA SKATING.. is she not DEELISH?

and here’s a FUN FUN stamp called HOW TO MAKE A SNOWMAN.. card by Regabella.. great for the kids to play with and send their own cards 🙂  or to send a card to kidlets no?

Paulineabella used a couple of new ones too!

Here’s MR PENGUIN helps Ramona (Mr. Penguin is Ramona’s winter BFF)

Here’s THE REINDEER and the BIRDIE art by Krista Schneider

Just elegant and GORGE no?

There is a MAJORLY NEW and GORGEOUS art journaling concept I have come up with that is coming out too.. YOU ARE GUARANTEED to LOVEY it.. pLomise.

and there are STILL some other images that I haven’t spotlighted yet…    I need to leave room for surprise, no?

Mwah to da sistahs who look forward to MONDAY.. da RELEASE day!

And the theme this week was black and white.. hmph.  It wasn’t easy.. especially back to back with the pencil challenge from last week!

So here goes 🙂

Love these pages 🙂

Next week’s theme? hmmmmm

COLOUR.  LOL.. LOTS OF COLOUR.. make backgrounds.. collage.. you name it.. but I WANNA SEE COLOUR!!!

mwah

p.s. survived my first day of WW!

Em

hiya sistahs!  Hope you had a great weekend 🙂

I had a PHENOM weekend i must say.  Had THE BESTEST class with DINA WAKLEY at BIZZY B’s over the weekend.  We had such a great time.. got to hang with friends and just let loose and create…  I was SOOOO dirty.. and messy and inky.. and loved every minute of it.

Here are some pics I instagrammed this weekend and if you don’t follow me on Instagram, then here you have it 🙂

I was SOOO Inspired when I got home that I started to paint.. and came up with her 🙂

Then I took my GIANT vintage ledger and started to spray and collage 🙂

An amazing weekend was had 🙂

the most important decision I made this weekend?

WEIGHT WATCHERS.

Joined this morning and committed this time.  I will be instagramming my journey :).. I am TOTALLY doing this.  Yup.. mhmmm.. yes siree…

Mwah to da sistahs who read this blog 🙂

Em

Hi ho… Stamping Bella Here..LOL (said in Kermit D. Frog’s voice.. I bet you are all doing it now..bWaHahahaha)

So I shared a picture yesterday of what I am going through.. All for the sake of da children.. LOL.. and you think they appreciate having there MAMA close to them?  Hand toting their HOT lunches to school, picking them up etc…????  Yup.. they sure do.  And I finally feel at “peace”.. with where I am.  Where I am in terms of being a mama.. in terms of being an entrepreneur.. in terms of being a wife, a friend and an artist.  FINALLY.  I swear, this 40 thing is turning out to be a GOOD thing. Now the only bases I need to cover is exercise and weight loss… and yess I will get there at some point.   So there you have it.. a candid shot of da BELLA.  I do want to share more here.. and I will.  Cuz I am FORTY.. and I CAN..LOL

Another point to mention is that we are TRYING our BESTEST to process your orders as quickly as possible.. but the rubbah is now in 14 rooms and we are trying to arrange and organize as quickly as possible… so please bear with us .. things should be smooooth sailing after next week!

Oh and anothAH thing..LOL..  Instagram.  What can I say.  I am in LOVE with this website/application.. dunno what you call it.  It is such a warm, amazing community.  Unlike Facebook which to me is a bit sterile.  Unlike Twitter where you know people are SHOVING as many words as they can in a little text box.  Instagram represents who you are.. what you do during the day.. your art.. your habits..your home.. etc.. it makes you get to know the people you are following.  I have met MANY wonderful people there, and we all support each other.. it’s amazing.  I urge you to join.. and follow the people you are interested in following.. just to get a little snapshot of their lives.. it makes them human to you.  REALLY.  GO DO IT. NOW.  k?

Oh and speaking of next week.. In the midst of this chaos, I decided to release some MAJORLY gorgeous images… (probably by next friday)… Until then, we will be doing some sneaky peeky’s showing you the goodness.. so keep coming back ya hear?  and maybe say hi.. I like when da sistahs say hi.  hmph.

OK so now let’s discuss some winnah’s from last week’s bellarific friday challenge shall we?
