WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I snuck out to work while Ryan took the chicklets to a birthday party.. I posted some new goodies.. COPIC spica glitter pens (the whole set in limited quantities), tombow multi glue (LOOOVE IT for embellishments), BLACK memories ink pads (great for EVERYTHING but Copic..LOL!  It was the first brand of inkpad I started with and I am STICKIN to it!) and I haven’t mentioned my Zip N DRY glue in a while!  I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT.. I don’t use tape anymore.. can you believe?  it is honestly PHENOM.

Ok my sneaky weaky peaky time is oVaH.. gots TA go..

Mwah to da sistahs who love my new GLOO (love that spelling too).. It’s really sick that I am responsible for teaching my kidlets how to spell and how spelling was my favorite subject in school… Let’s just call my slang, Bella’s Linguisitic Terminology (fancy no?)

Sistahs… oh SISTAHS???? YOU THERE???????

I have gotten some goodies and I posted them!  There is MO’ coming tomorrow! All in the WHAT’S NEW section (again, WHY DIDN”T YOU TELL ME TO DO THAT SOONER???)

we gots lots of colouring to do!  I got the CUTEST set of paints that I saw on Sherrie’s blog.. she has a WONDERFUL tutorial on Copics as well!  you should take a look at her great work.  You should SEE what Sherrie did with these watercolour paints too! YIKES she is GOOOOOOD!

I made up a little kit of 12 of my favorite colours of Lyra watercolour crayons.. smoooothhh and creammmy and last a lifetime.. all you need is a paintbrush, some water and you lift the colour from the tip or the back of the crayon and paint away.. BEAUTIFUL! if you click on the hourglass icon, you will see more info on the product in terms of da COLOURS. (right now I only have 5 sets in stock.. I will be getting a lot more in about 3 weeks when they come in from Germany.. I wanted to see if you sistahs would be interested)

There is also this thing that I am in LOVE with.. yes, yet another thing.  It is called a “static bag”… this is my favoriteST most inexpensivEST thing EVAH!  I use it all the time and this little baby, if you don’t lose it first, will last you forevAH!  you know when you emboss or if you sprinkle loose glittAH on your card, there are always those “strays” that remain on the card and you can’t get rid of them?  WELLLL if someone has ever seen me demo at a show, they will laugh as I belt out “all you have to do is POUFFFFF and SHMEARRRR”.. LOL.. Basically you do a little “pouff” or hit your cardstock with the static bag so it releases the powder and then you “SHMEARRR” the powder all over your paper.. after you have “primed” your card you can emboss or use glue and glittah.. when you shake off the excess, you will notice a CLEAN card.. YEPEROONI.. a CLLEAN CARD!  Love that thing!

 There are some other goodies too so take a lookey in the “what’s new section” (LOVE IT).. more of my favorite things to follow!

Mwah to da sistahs who will pouff and shmear! (sounds perverse, I know)

You are looking for that perfect offwhite/eggshell/NOT YELLOWY paper?  Well Nickabella and I have ALWAYS been on that quest.. we walk into a stationery store and just always find IVORY to be YELLOW.. ever get that type of thought? LOL.. I am so DEEP.  ANNNYWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY  I have found DA perfect eggshell/ivory/not yellow at all/ PAYPAH!!  It is 80# in weight (wish i was.hmph) and takes spirits and prisma and copic BEAUTIFULLLLY!!  in my “what’s new” section (LOL.. HOW DID YOU ALL LET ME LIVE SO LONG WITHOUT IT???????).. Also have a new little member of my bella family.  His name is YERTLE.  He is my FAVE and his sentiment is cutesy too, NO?  I did post a card so you will be able to see what i mean, bean.

Have a few more goodies/tools to add to DA WEBSITE in the next day or so… STAY TUNED!

Mwah! to da sistahs who have no idea what I am talking about when I contemplate eggshell/ivory paper versus yellow

I have now placed a “WHAT”S NEW” category!  It’s only taken a year for me to listen to my sistahs!  But you were so right.. ’twas the RIGHT thing to do!  So, when I announce or sneakily slip in new products.. that is where it’s gonna be..

brilliant, no?

Mwah to da brilliant sistahs who were brilliant WAY before moi (not to be confused with “mwah”)
