Hiya sistahs,

I am writing this post as Sarahbella is hosting our weekly WEDNESDAY JAVA DAY!  We do free demos and make and takes every week in Bellaland just so our sistahs can KNOW how to use their tools, embellishments that they sneakily buy.  We have freshly baked goods, coffee and lots of convos.. SO MUCH FUN! If you are a local sistah, please come by! you will have a great time!

Now for the GOOD NEWS!  In case you haven’t noticed, we have changed our shipping rates just a “WEEEE” Bit.  We hope you like it!  Instead of having to wait for a free shipping day, we decided to make EVERY DAY a free shipping day!  SOOOO.. for all shipments over $55 in NORTH AMERICA, we offer free shipping to da sistahs!  For all orders over $75, there is free shipping to all other international countries!  For more information, please take a looky at our shipping policy here.  We hope you lovey this! **PLEASE NOTE THAT BEAD BONANZA WILL BE OVER AS OF AUG 31ST**

Now for our TERRIFIC TOOSDAY on WEDNESDAY..LOL

Last week in BELLALAND, we did a little make and take involving 6*6 BASIC GREY PAPER PAD.. we have had sooo many questions on how to use them!! So here are just a few samples of what SINDIbella and one little simple card that I did.. but BOY did we have fun!  What’s great about the 6*6 album is that you can just take those 6*6 tablets, make simple small layouts and VOILA! you have a beautiful mini scrapbook ready to go!  LOVE IT!  You can use the WE R memory keepers album to store it in.. what a wonderful gift :).  The 6*6 packs we used in these samples are the BASIC GREY PORCELAIN paper pads and PORCELAIN glazed brads

And then they all fit in beautifully in the WE R MEMORY KEEPERS 6*6 album and voila! Little nuggets of happiness no?

Soooo?  you likey da newsies and da 6*6 info?

P.S. DONT FORGET ABOUT BELLARIFIC FRIDAY!!

hello my sistahs

Did you EVAH wondAH what your creative style was?  I mean I have many styles but sometimes you just follow a certain path/style.. you are drawn to a certain “look”.. it may not be the “look” that everyone accepts (LOL) or loves but you just feel SOOO MUCH BETTAH after you put it down on paypah! Does that even make any sense?? Well, I feel like I have been in more of a “GRAPHIC” mood… more white space.. more linear… don’t know why I am heading this way and sometimes I so BADLY want to fill up the white space but I know it is bettah to leave it as is.. the one thing that has been consistent with me has been that I love an element of dimension.. a little “surprise” embellishment somewhere shall we say.. I love to layer buttons.. a little bow… ya get da PICTURE.. and of course not everything even steven.. just a little ‘off’ to add interest.. what’s your style? does it VARY?

so here’s my card using my CIRCLE SHADOW SET and our CUTESY ORNAMENTS (split them up).  How cute is the 1″ punch popped on top of the 1.25″ circle shadow stamp.. it’s what I call a “faux” layer! I also made a cluster of buttons in red with our PLATINUM DONUTS and PLATINUM DOTS and PEARL BAUBLES AND DIAMOND ICE baubles .. my images are a little BLURRRY but if you clicky to enlargy, you will see it clearly.

Hope you enjoy 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who have STYLE.  Their OWN UNIQUE style.
