Sistahs
don’t forget to leave a comment by friday here for a $50 gift certificate to DA BOOOOOTIQUE!
I discovered another way to store da stamps! LOOOVE this!
you use Aleene’s Tack It Over which is a removable GLOO
The stamp books are PHENOM.. I LOOOOVE THEM!! They fit in a craft binder by Cropper Hopper which I find TRES bulky.. so I would carry them loose or put them through a big binder ring 🙂
Mwah to da sistahs who wanna look like a stamp book 🙂

Sistahs, do you remember the BANGLES? I LOVED manic monday!!
It has been a whirlwind of a weekend! We ran around all over the place for a change.. went to scope out a VERY interesting show in Toronto called the National Women’s show and we will be participating in this show next year. It was a wonderful array of vendors from food to exercise to product.. YUM! so we went to do some scoopage and walked out doing a little DAMAGE!
of course I had to buy this garlic chopper.. so cute and with a TWIST of DA WRIST you can chop chop chop! WIll I ever use it you ask? I Hope so..LOL.. well at least RYAN hopes so!!
Also saw a WONDERFUL new exercise machine that works on vibrations… 15 minutes on this BABY and you lose inches and cellulite.. was 2 SECONDS close to joining the gym that carries this machine..LOL
Then bought some vitamins, ate some yogurt and VOILA, the day was ovah!
Yesterday we took the kids to see Madagascar 2.. OMG.. it was HILARIOUS.. Ryan and I loved it more than the kids! If you have little kidlets, I recommend you take them ASAP!
That was it for the weekend.. getting chillier by the second.. how’s the weather at your neck of the woods? HUH??
On the BIDNISS side.. things are CRAZY .. we have LOTS of IDEARS that seem to be coming to fruition so you will alll be soooo very happy! Between Scrapping Bella coming alive and this new little venture we may be doing, I will have VERY HAPPY SISTAHS indeed (always wanted to use that word and never had DA opportunity)
We will definitely be posting more samples and tutorials as the weeks progress to get your juices FLOWING.
So NOW for the blog candy… $50 gift certificate to bella’s store if you place a comment and tell ME what you did this weekend
Mwah to da sistahs who did SOMETHING this weekend

Hellllooo Sistahs!
You know that we are starting to create some stamps for scrapbooking for our soon to come website.. In the interim, I am having a BLAST with Jessica Rose creating some new concepts and ideas for the new site and for some new stamps!
So here is a little sample of what Nicky and I have done with our LIMELIGHT HANGING BLOCK. I AM IN LOVE with this stamp… the chandelier is so wonky… LOVE IT! It is sooo versatile.. you can stamp it in a row on top of your scrapbook page to just add that little OOOOOMPH.. now I want you all to say it “OOOOOOMMMMMPHHHHHHH” (bet you’re all saying it 🙂 )
Take a looky at my page.. notice the lamps on the top left? a picture from DA CROOZ and a nestibility popped on the bottom left and my graffiti on the right (white gel pen will be available tomorrow – along with gold and silver).. it’s an amazing idea cuz you can use it in any layout as a “chalkboard”! LOOOVE IT.. I used my ruby red bonbons and Quickutz NUTMEG font.. cute no?
NOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW take a looky at what the brilliant and TALENTED Nickabella did with the same stamp!
YUUUMMMMM-O!
Now for my next NUGGET of information (my old boss used to make fun of me all the time when I said something “brilliant”… he would look at me and say “YET ANOTHER NUGGET”.. LOL)
You must RUN.. not walk.. not trot, not jog, not stroll but RUN to PAPERCRAFT PLANET . This is a NEW amazing social community for papercrafters!! what could be bettah? Facebook for US!! LOL on the “us”.. cuz WE are different ya know. Join the Bella Sistahs group.. we are gonna have LOADS of fun. Our little talented and amazing Shannan Teubner (I call her STOOBY) will be the HOSTESS with da MOSTESS and she’s DA BOSS there.. and she has LOTS up her sleeve for fun!
so MWAHHHH to da sistahs who will JOIN da new PLANET.. Papercraft planet that is 🙂

HELLLO??? ANYBODY THERE???? Should I go back to addressing my posts to my 4 friends or do I have more? hmmmmm????????? Well, if you are MY FRIEND, show me that you are here!! COME ON…… Ok, enough guilt
I just happened to “stumble” upon this product :).. Thank you Carrol!! (carrol is my source of new and upcoming things even though she doesn’t think so *winks*). Ok, I am OBSSESSED with MANY things.. MANY things as you know and adhesive is one of the many. I am always on the lookout for new items (so if anyone wants to share, write a comment..LOL)
Ok, so Carrol brought this in and I fell in love with it! I am always looking for a great embellishment adhesive and this seems to be PHENOM
What Microdots is, is a sheet of teeny tiny weeny winy little PERMANENT adhesive dots!
you place your embellishment, whether pearl, bauble, bonbon, even shaped paper or punches and press it onto the teeny tiny weeny winy dots
once you “PEEL” your embellishment off, you are left with a “blank spot” on your adhesive sheet so you know EXACTLY what has been used! Now is that BRILLIANT OR WHAT?
VOILA! ooey gooey glooey.. WITHOUT the ooey gooey glooey!! ( If anyone heard me speak and DIDN”T KNOW ME? they would NEVAH think I was university educated.. LOL.. )
Who likey’s DA GLOOEY??? HMMMMM-ey?
Mwah to da sistahs who WILL POST A COMMENT

SISSSSSTAHS!!!! First I need to have you click on the next two links.. All the cruisin’ sistahs who were out and about on the 11th floor at the midnight buffet will remember these songs.. I am IN LOOOVE with them and Ryan blasted them in the store and nicky, Ryan and I were LINE DANCING.. ME??? LINE DANCING???ahem.. a little bit prettier a sight than me on the DUNE BUGGY but not that much prettier.. our UPS lady Donna walked in to this spectacle LOLOL
it’s DA SLIDDDDE … the CHACHA SLIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDE…
A lot of sistahs have been asking me about my inside out stamps..I think I am gonna have to rename them..LOL.. cuz even I don’t understand it by its name. Basically the inside out stamps include a LARGE stamp for your focal image.. and a MINI stamp that can be used in many ways.. on the inside corner of your card, to dress up your envelope, to make a tag.. to use on the back of the card etc.. look at Nicky’s FABBBBBBBBBBBBBBB samples.. I am in LOVE .. with a WEED… a DANDELION WEED
you can find the dandelion bunches here! colored with the famous LYRA colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits 🙂
Here’s another beautiful sample from a sketch Nicky said she saw but she is unable to give credit so if ANYONE reading this blog has created this sketch please tell us!!
this card features our Gerbera in vase
and the STUNNING new Basic Grey Urban Prairie Collection including BLUEBIRD and HAYFIELD and tropical algae baubles
now check out the backof the card using the mini one! could you faint? LOL.. I know I am a bit DRAMATIC.. The card looks BEEEYOOTIFUL from behind.. ahem.. err… unlike someone I know (me)..LOL
and now for DA BOYZZZZZZZZZZZZ Cuz I am sure I have a HUGE male readership.. (Hi Ryan!)
I just LOVE this Jessica Rose stamp called TOOLTIME. it is SOOO versatile! Already have a few more samples in my head! I used silver dotted American Craft paper (sold out) and this wonderful 7 Gypsies MEASUREMENT paper where I just cut out one of the rulers and put it underneath my main layer.. Also used my Grey Copics for the toolZ and my burnt honey bonbons and underNEATH da bonbons I put Tim Holtz WASHERS as a base
Nothin’ like a little eye candy and dance moves for the weekend!
MWAH TO DA SISTAHS who are doing da SLIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDE
