Hiya tootsies :)

Check out this LUSCIOUS card my very own Nicky (Creative Director Chief designer EXTRAORDINAIRE) made.. I am not sure if you all KNEW that our very own Nicky has her own blog but she SHO’ does and posts BEEYOOTIFUL cards there. So please just click on her name above and leave a comment and SHOW HER DA LOVE!

I just love my new AMIMALS by our very own Christy Croll from Tiddly Inks.. they are wonderfully deelish and perfect for any occasion from birthday to baby.

Here’s Nicky’s card using the new AMIMALS turtle

is it not STUNNING? the colors! the layout! the bling! oh my!

: don’t you wanna float on your shell and play with butterflies? I do!

Nicky used cuttlebug swiss dots, a definite staple in your cuttlebug collection, cotton candy bonbons and the great photo corner curved punch.. isn’t it DEEVINE?

just wanted to leave you with some EYE candy sistahs.. thought this was wistful and perfect!

Tomorrow I will be introducing our bellarific challenge and what it entails.. should be fun!

In case you havent noticed, I am now updating my store constantly.. I want the true bellaland online 🙂 lol.. although you won’t have the same EXPERIENCE per se, at least you can “see” what yummies we have! I am receiving CHA goodies daily so keep on checking the WHAT’s NEW section

a few things that came in today in very limited quantities was QUICKUTZ fonts and dies, and new storage goodies.. I just love this system for embellishments.. basically you set it up on your desk on the carousel then when you are ready to crop or go to a friends house to stamp, you can fill your “on the fly” storage case with embellishments and off you go!

you can find the carousel here and the “on the fly” storage here.. LOOOOVE them

We also received some new ribbons which I will hopefully be able to post tomorrow too :).. OMG.. I can’t even put into WORDS what I feel for this ribbon.. mmmmmmmm.. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

we also received some SMOOCHES by colorbox.. a new pearlized ink that comes in the CUTEST nail polish bottle and has a great applicator!

ok that’s ENUF blabla for the night

love you all

mwah!

Shannon, I will be sending your $20 right now!

We have all been thinking here at bellaland how we can help our sistahs out.. I think that the economy has been really lousy and after having seen the attendance at CHA, I had a kind of wake up call… so in honor of VALENTINES day.. and the ECONOMIC BLECHINESS, we have decided to honor free shipping to da sistahs EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE in the world, for all orders over $45 as a thank you for your continued support even through this “blechiness”.. so THANK YOU sistahs for all you do! Hows’ THAT for a bellarific friday? hmmmmm? Please enter the code mwah without the quotation marks. Off to post images now!

This free shipping is not applicable to the bella bead bonanza nor the free gifts.. that offer is completed!

Let’s discuss our new artist ELENA FRENCH. She is super FABBY DABBY, ADORABLE, TALENTED.. and when I saw those turtles.. OMG.. I just about had a heart attack.. literally. And when she said YES?!?!?! I think I really DID have a heart attack.. Honest. Here’s a little bit about Elena

and here is a little bio about her

When Elena French woke up one morning dreaming of illustrated turtles she knew she could not put off the ideas in her head any longer! Working as a graphic designer for a government contracting company in Connecticut was a stable job but did not supply the creativity she was craving. So like any other closet artist she started drawing anyway! At night, on weekends, she could be found head bent over a drawing pad, dragging her set of Prismacolors wherever she went. She is stepping into the world of blogging, illustrating, Etsy, and now stamps! What a dream come true! Elena hopes to continue creating artwork that is full of whimsy, hope and childlike innocence. She has done graphite and charcoal portraiture for years but is now focusing on Children’s Room art and Illustration. To contact Elena or just get to know her heart, you can visit: Elena’s website at www.elenas-easel.blogspot.com or e-mail her elena.french@gmail.com

Please please please post her a comment on her blog and inspire to draw more for us! SHOW HER DA SISTAH LOVE!!

I am such a TEAZZZZZE

: ya that’s me being a GOOF

I cannot believe I am posting this picture but I found it PERFECT in regards to our RELEASE tomorrow.. ya know.. NANNY NANNY BOOOOOO BOOOOO.. I know what I am releasing AND YOUUUU DON”T.. LOL

Sistahs today we had an amazing day in Bellaland 🙂

We ALWAYS get questions emailed to us asking what our day is like and I never have a chance to respond or describe or put it into words.. well that lovely silly face above is a snippet of how I behave on a daily basis..LOL (not really.. I am VERY PROFESSIONAL.. just ask the local sistahs who come and visit! 😉 BE QUIET local sistahs..LOL

So our local tv station called me earlier this week and asked to set up an interview at the boootique and of course I said sure! I have been on TV before and you could have confused me with a mute. I am so animated and bubbly in real life and then once the camera goes on…. RIIIBBBBBBITTTTT (see my RIBBIT theory from a post 2 years ago..OMG 2 years ago..LOL) .. I cannot STAND being in front of the camera.. blech.. fooey.. yuck.. but for the sake of da sistahs, I sucked it up :). So the camera crew came today and we have our LUNCH BUNCH who comes every thursday and had some sistahs hanging out.. I thought that today would be DA PERFECT DAY to show you what goes on… I gave Ryan the camera to take shots while I was being interviewed.. (remind me never to do that again as you will see)..
