WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Meet Ramona.. a new family member to Bella :).. what on EARTH could she be dragging behind her?

And  UPTOWN GIRLS Patty and Dottie.. Dottie is naughty.. she’s making rabbit ears behind Patty’s head.. hmph.  sounds like a Friend I WANNA have! LOL 🙂  Wait til you see them in all their glory.. OUTSTANDING….

Stay TOONED.

mwah.

and since some people don’t wanna tweet (even though I am having a BLAST with it..LOL).. I am gonna show you 2 of the 3 snapshots (can’t find the other right now but will update) I tweeted about.. and I will tweet (can I say tweet more??? ) more throughout the weekend.. and MUH-AYBE will put some here too 😉 .. I want ALLLLL my sistahs happy..

Ready set go!

Jane Davenport is one of our new artists from Australia.  She is ABSOLUTELY PHENOM.. I LOVE her!!  I took all of her classes  and she has been a true inspiration to me.  I mean really.  And when someone inspires me.. I FORCE everyone to get inspired too.. LOL.  Jane taught me how to DRAW.  I mean really she did.  Watching her.. observing her ways.. sharing the love of art supplies.. we are really kindred spirits :).  Jane is hosting an event at Teesha Moore’s art annex.. if you are around that area or feel like taking an amazing class and traveling.. I would recommend this one!  I want to go SO BADLY but the timing is just off for  me and I am so sad :(.

sneak peek one.  If you KNOW Jane and just browse around her blog.. you will know which one this is… this is Jane’s trademark and this image makes me SOOOO VERY HAPPY.. gonna stamp this EVERYWHERE..LOL

Love this one… can’t wait for you to see the rest of her 🙂

There are going to be MANY images released on Tuesday.. you will be astonished (never use that word.. dunno why it came out).. I do have a lot of “valentiney” images per se.. but if you know me, I am not so much into “seasonal” images.  If I buy an image.. I want to be able to use it ALL YEAR LONG.. so the images you will see on TOOSDAY are SO versatile and can be used for ValentiMES (as my kids say) or birthdays.. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. this release.  LOL.. I’m like a recording.  Every release is like GROUNDHOG DAY..LOL..

I would also like to welcome some new sistahs from SPLITCOAST who are contributing this week!  if you post on splitcoast as well quoting our keyword (you can find that on our thread there) you have two chances to win some BUCKEROONIS!

Hiya sistahs.. well I promised, so here it is.  Please forgive the pictures.. I don’t think they are the greatest of quality but you will get the ‘picture’.. get it?  project life, get the picture? LOL  uch.. not so funny.

Well I am still on the mend.. between pneumonia and rupturing cysts, I am not too pretty, nor am I so pleasant to be around..LOL  so I should be back on track next week.. my family hopes at least 😉

So has everyone visited us on Splitcoast?  there is a lot of fun chatter going on..LOL.. lots of friends to meet.. it’s a great place to be!  Also, don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook so you can see what’s going on in our little part of the world 🙂

Update on the DUKAN diet.. have had some personal emails asking questions.. well.. I have completed week 1/ ATTACK PHASE.. and have lost 7 pounds (I think.. I go on the scale 3 times, and get 3 different numbers.. so now I have made a deal that I just look at the first number..LOL).. I have not suffered one bit, nor have I felt like I have been on a diet.  I am loving this but could easily quit any day so take everything with a grain of salt..LOL.. although I really don’t wanna quit.

Ok.. so there’s my catchup.. think I need to get out more? LOL

Here’s some pics of da PROJECT LIFE for my first week EVAH.  Loved every minute of it. *sigh* if only I could retire…

here’s my first page

here’s the second page

here’s a 6*12 insert cuz I had too many pictures for the week 🙂

was so proud of myself.. after Denabella and Helenabella tried to teach me Photoshop, I figured out how to put an overlay on my picture.  go me! (you’ll see it on the left in white)

Here I used our WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN stamp (in the next two photos).. LOVE THEM!

here I used YOUR BOOK IS DUE stamp and covered a whole journal card to make lists!

and here I used our THUMBS UP stamp from our MOODY FINGERS set (don’t look at the book title n’k?)

Here I used the FILM square and the ARROW from our GRUNGY SET #1.. LOVE IT

and that’s really it for the week!  I enjoyed working on it thoroughly!  As I am an avid collector of embellishments, stickers, letters, brads.. grrrr….grrrrr…grrrr.. I have FINALLY found a way to put it all int GREAT use!  There is nothing like DIGGING in my pile of goodies and finding just the right thing 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who are STAMPING and DOCUMENTING LIFE!

Em

Ok sistahs.. it’s a new year and I don’t want you to STOP art journaling n’k?  Promise?

so next week’s theme is : RESOLUTIONS.

Now I know that some people to like to make resolutions.. if you don’t have resolutions for 2012 then write about your dreams, your wants, your aspirations.

The background is a FREE FOR ALL.. so you can stamp, you can watercolor, you can gesso, you can paint.. you can stick.. whatevah you want.. I just want you to get some info down so that we can look at it next year and see how we have all evolved.
