WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Just had to share.. this is HILARIOUS. Rhonda Coleman a sistah on the Bellaholics group (you should totally join if you haven’t.. the link is on my homepage). I asked Rhonda for permission and she agreed :). She posted this after my last bella release.. OMG I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..LOL

“…I guess that’s why I’m in an “aholicsanonymous” group!!!

I read the words “LatteBella” in an email and I just HAD to visit www.stampingbella.com . And then I SAW her, and she started calling to me, then, the LatteBella coffee cup on my desk started calling to HER, and THEN, she just JUMPED right into my shopping cart. And as if THAT wasn’t bad enough, I saw the card charms to go with her and before I knew it THEY had joined LatteBella in my cart.

Well, then I read about a crafty bella, so, like a silly fool, I followed that link. OMG!! How perfect is she?!?!?! Well, you KNOW how those Bellas stick together – silly girls! Next thing I know, LatteBella is serving CraftyBella a cup of White Chocolate Mocha Latte in the shopping cart!

And THEN, they started whining that they were lonely and needed some “pretties” to keep them company. LatteBella kept whining and whining that she wanted some baubles to play with. Well, you guessed it, next thing I knew, a set of Tutti Fruitti baubles was sitting on her little cafe table in MY shopping cart!! Of course, I KNEW once that happened that CraftyBella – the little copycat – was going to have to have something too, but SHE wanted RIBBON! She screamed and cried, and threatened to hold her breath until she DIED. By this time I just really had a headache and HAD to give in or lose my sanity, so a spool of Bella’s Favorite Reversible ribbon joined the rest of the stuff in my cart.

Recognizing a DANGER POINT was quickly approaching, I said, “THAT’S IT!” I had to get out of that place or totally lose control. So I VERY QUICKLY hit the “check out”button before the ribbon and the baubles and the charms and the Bellas set up such a racket that THE BELLA herself would have to come and see what was going on!!! Hopefully in a week to 10 days those silly little Bellas and their “pretties” will be showing up in my mailbox. THEN, I’ll show THEM a thing or two when I put Stazon ink all over their pretty little bodies and STAMP, STAMP. STAMP with them.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Rhonda – poorer, but alas, not much wiser!”

So I have committed to the AMAZING new paper (cardstock) line coredinations.  If you haven’t seen this line yet.. PLEASE DO SO.. DO NOT PASS GO DO NOT COLLECT $200 (yes, I am a loser).. I have committed to the WHOLE pallette (don’t tell Ryan, we have NO SPACE to put it) but of COURSE I will find room.  This paper is FAB-O as the “core” of the paper is a lighter shade of the surface color.. not white! so if you sand or distress, the COLOR is what shows and not a white core.. LOVE IT!  there is also a “black magic” line where if you sand the black of this paper, a color shows underneath.. MAGNIFIQUE! and a “Vintage” collection which is already distressed looking!  PHENOM!  could you ask for MORE in a paper?  black magicked (lol) vintaged, and VIBRANT?  sooo excited.  My order will be picked up by MOI (minivanabella) on Wednesday and I will be posting as soon as I receive!  IF anyone has ANY requests or orders, please email me by wednesday and I will try my best to add to the order and get it for you!

I will also be adding more bag’ o’ inspirations.. I have a new one with baubles, ribbon, patterned paper and cardstock that all match soooo beautifully for layouts or cards.. I kept them in their 12*12 original size so that it gives more freedom to da sistahs.. meet OrangeTulip

let me know what you thinky!

I have now released 3.. yes COUNT em 3 new bellas… lattebella, YOGABELLA (finally perfected after 1.5 years in the works) and Craftybella.  Craftybella was made with an empty mason jar so that we can FILL IT… see this little sample Nicky whipped up.  This stamp is NOT for sewers only.. there is glittah and glue and paintbrushes there.. I wanted it to apply to a general crafter :).. notice the BONBONS in the jar :).. makes me HAPPY

Next.. is there a CHICHI in da HOUSE?  well  meet Patricia Birthdaycake… I am SO in love with these fairies (lots more coming).. to me they are a classic, whimsical illustration.. I am so close to this line and the artist Gretchen, cuz my late aunt was an illustrator and this was EXACTLY her style.. I actually have a painting of hers (I have to find it).. and she did a fairy that was MY little face and they look like these! Once I find it I will show you sistahs n’k?  ANYWAY, this fairy is so elegant and poised.. see THIS card that Nicky whipped up.. simple and elegant.. LOVE LOVE LOVE her (and LOVE the bonbons under her..LOL)

I LOOOVE these circles and LOOOVE 3*3 cards that I just ordered lotsa envelopes to make some kits.. these are my new faves (for the moment cuz there are lots of other goodies coming 🙂

I have just approved more artwork for MORE circles with images.. I call them the “perspective” circles cuz the focal points are at different angles and just shows different point of views of the subject at hand.. these circles fit in your blue marvy 2″ punches (Giga) and the larger scallop is the mega.. ARGHHHHH LOOOVE THEM..

have I mentioned that I am NOW OBSSESSED with 3*3 cards?  thanks nicky.  Imagine making a set of 6 and giving it as a hostess gift?  YUM

Ok that’s it for me obssessing yet again.

Mwah to da sistahs who want to LIVE in a 2″circle with me.
