sistahs,
WHO’S EXCITED for MANANA??? I AM!!!! Not sure when I will fit the release in between finishing off my make and takes for scrapfest (which are YUMMY) this friday.. but don’t you WORRY… it’ll happen! Tomorrow is the HUGE release! and of course a little surprise :).. me thinks you will be happy!
Here’s a couple more cards made by our wonderfulest DT!
Danabella used TABITHA TEACUP
Jeaniebella made a card using our new LULU’s CHERRY BLOSSOM tree image
Karen MOTZABELLA used our NEW ROLLABELLA.. isn’t she GROOVY?
Lindabella used LULU’S FANCY PREZZIES in her beeeyootiful card
DRIVER BEWARE! If you happen to see this license plate, you KNOW you GOTS TA MOVE.. ok? Just get outta DA way and I promise no one will be hurt LOL… I have a bit of a lead foot ya know!
Also, REMEMBER the origin of the “NOT TODAY, MAYBE TOMORROW” punchline from a joke by Ty’s best friend Adam and I said that the size differential between the two was crazy? LOL and that Tyler was like HUH CHESTER HUH CHESTER HUH HUH HUH??? (bugs bunny).. you can find the original post here
Well, here’s a picture of Tyler and ADAM.. we went to the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS over the weekend.. remember them?? I just lovvvvved them way back when and these kids just loved them as much as I did! so here is “huh” and here is “chester”.. LOL.. “HUH” (my Tyler) is the little one in the front..LOL
In my previous life, I was a consultant and trained people on Canada Customs policies etc.. I was always on the road and always made new friends with my clients.. Well I am UBER thankful for one of my clients recommending THE BEST coffee in Toronto in my humble opinion. This is a little place you can miss if you blink. It’s called JET FUEL and it is sooo wonderful. I used to sneak there when I was pregnant (SHHHH). The place has an eclectic clientele to say the least..LOL.. fun to people watch and they make the most wonderful, inexpensive Lattes.. YUM.. The first time I was there, I was prego and I said to them.. “do you have DECAF?”.. the BaristO said “WE DON”T DO DECAF”.. (LOL).. ok so I said the regular please.. then I asked if they had sweetner… and the BARISTO said “WE DON”T DO SWEETNER”.. LOL .. they just had natural sugar.. so Off I went with my soy latte, extra CAF, BRIMMING with SUGAH.. and had the best coffee evah. I decided to take MY BFF and the kidlets there after the “Trotters” as the kids would say and the kids had a blast with this coffee “experience”… Of course I told my BFF not to ask for DECAF or SWEETNER..LOL (although they do have sweetner now).. and off we went back home all CAFFEINATED and happy :). Here’s a picture of HUH and Chester again at the little table sharing some thoughts..
Ok, Off to prepare more Make N Takes… YOU GONNA BE AT SCRAPFEST? HUH CHESTER HUG CHESTER HUH HUH HUH???
Mwah to da CHESTERS out there

hiya sistahs,
first I would like to tell you that I feel like releasing on THURSDAY rather than FRIDAY.. is that ok with you? LOL
I also have to tell you what Jayden said to me yesterday..LOL. So Jayden and Tyler went grocery shopping last night and when I came home from work late last night she says to me “mommy, we bought ICE CREAM (i must add it is low fat yogurt LOL).. and I said, “that’s GREAT Jay!”.. so she says to me but you can’t have any cuz you are on a DIET (really? last time I checked my rear was still quite large..LOL).. I said ” ok Jay, i won’t have any because of my DIET.. Jay, do you know what a DIET is?” and she says “YES mom, it is when you can’t eat anything that you LOVE” Oh how correct that little one is… not even 5 and NAILED the concept..LOL.. is that cute or what?
Next is some new SNEAK PEEKS in case you haven’t hopped through our DT’s blogs.. OH ARE THEY YUMMALISH! Have I mentioned that this is an amazing release???? HMMMM????
Paulabella used one of MO‘s new RUBBAH images named ANGELINA.. oh how I love her. I have this “thing” for kids with funny hair..LOL.. and I JUST loved the STATIC that the balloons were generating.. so when I saw this image, I knew she had to be “OURS”.. good choice no? It would go great to send to your girlfriends saying “BAD HAIR DAY”? LOL.. I just love her.. *sigh* and the new GIRL’S PAPERIE LINE that Paula used? OMG …
Danabella used our new TIEDTHEKNOTABELLA on her card.. just makes ya wanna get married ALLLL OVER AGAIN… (just ask RYAN..LOL he’ll SURELY agree)
Jodibella made a gorgeous card using our new EXECUBELLA.. how retro!
Are these not PHENOMALISH!?
Mwah to da sistahs whose favorite day is THURSDAYYYYYYY

How did you all guess who I am collaborating with? LOL.. it couldn’t have been the title of my last post NOR my little hinty? Well now that the cat is outta da bag.. let me show you what Lindabella used to celebrate the new MO-BELLA release. This image will be available in RUBBAH on Friday April 16th.. his name is BYE BYE BOY and he comes with the DR SEUSS sentiment (“oh the places you’ll go”).. my favorite part of looking at a stamp that will be made is to find really great sentiments to go with them.. you will see some GOOD ones in this release! I also love to make stamps versatile so even though it is a kidlet, it can apply to an “adult-let” (Mo coined that term and LOVE IT)
Every stamp I choose for Stamping Bella has some sort of meaning, or pulls a heart string of mine or evokes some sort of emotion.. Every single one of them. When I look at Mo’s images, I can’t explain what I feel. I revert back to my childhood..LOL. I LOVE children’s books.. I can sit at a bookstore and read them all. As a matter of fact, I was at the bookstore yesterday morning and read the most HILARIOUS book to Jayden.. I have recounted this story to anyone that came remotely in my direction..LOL . this is the book.. but you have to read it with MY voice k?
Ok, so back to my MO. Clearly after my little blurb above, you SEE how she and I are a perfect fit. I am so lucky to have the artists I do.. they are really special and each one of them represents a different part of me. I always say, if I only had the hands to draw, I would get rid of SO MUCH that is jumbling up in my brain..LOL. Mo has the most WONDERFUL digital images EVAH. Who can’t love them? And for some people DIGI is the way to go! But for lil ole me? I like da RUBBAH. DA REAL RUBBAH you can touch and sniff and hug (LOL). So what bettah combo than having mo’s images in rubbah? We hit it off right away and a DEFINITE friendship has flourished from it. She is so wise, so business savvy.. amazing! So for this week, we will have I intended to release 4 of Mo’s images. But if you know me.. 4 just won’t do.. so we have 10 Mo’s coming sistahs! and it will be a monthly thing, RIGHT MO? LOL
We have 4 bellas being released too.. and they are AWESOME.. we also have LULU’s .. we have TEACUP GIRLS.. OMG.. you will all freak and some SCRAPPY STAMPS.. this is one of our LARGEST releases EVAH.. you excited? cuz I AM!
