WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

SELF?  what would make da sistahs happy since I will be gone for a few days (CHA.. oh did I mention I was going? LOL)  and won’t be able to ‘blab’.  I figured a coupla bellas would be nice, no?  I will post tomorrow before I leave so they could keep you company whilst (LOL–I always wanted to use that word.. probably in the wrong context but was fun to write) I am gone……

 dramatic “whilst” MWAHHHHHHH to da sistahs…

 so the theory about taking pics on my stovetop is not being handled quite well by the operator of the camera.  I immediately called HUB to come to my office to set up the studio in a box and he will!  So bear with my pics please!

Here is the bella topiary!  It’s actually an older design I had and resurrected.. WHY did I wait so long?  I think it is great for a simple invitation, happy birthday.. anything!  It comes in two sizes and fits in the scallops (of course..LOL)… LOVE IT!  I also used my new bella dizzy background (can you see the new collection coming to life?).. It’s a honkin’ piece of rubbah and fits half a card which is great!  You can line it up and punch out, sparkle, blingify (is that a word… NOW IT IS) it…. I hope you can see it on the card!  The dizzy part matches many of my stamps.. the swirls are on my oval and hourglass flowers, in bouquets (sposabella) etc…

Lemme know what you thinky?!

Mwah to a I-hope-it-will-be-a-great-monday DAY!

who’s goin’?  cough it up.

mwah (without cough)

OK, here is another sample of the bella daisy background where you repeat it on the cardfront and color in (with Copic markers).. cute no?  And the teeny tiny swarovskis?  YUMMMMMM.

you likey/lovey?

 Mwah!

p.s check out the quality of the picture.. huh? huh?  how good is that?  I learned from SCS that someone put their cards on top of their stove (burners OFF) and put on the hood light and lay the card on top of 2 sheets of white card stock. I like it!

p.p.s. of course I have that ‘studio in a box thingamabob’ that I have no idea how to use but HAD TO HAVE..LOL

MWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ok, so I am working on a borders line.. LOL.. yes, another thing on my list of things to do 🙂  They are coming to fruition though.. faster than I thought and I LOVEY them.  They can be used for SO MANY things!  My pics SUCK the big petootie (whatever that means) and I have made a decision that after CHA I am gonna finally SIT down, ignore all your orders (LOL) and fix my gallery… I have such great cards to show you (Nicky’s and mine) and I will try to include a sistah gallery!  How cute would that be!  But like I said, I can’t do anything until then so PLEASE bear with me (as if you would ever think otherwise, RIGHT?)…

ok so I used my new bella daisy border on this card.. there is a little gap between the lines where I put a ribbon.. OF COURSE used my new favorite color swarovskis called “volcano” which shows ever color under the sun depending on how you look at them.. from purples, to orchids to greens.. SPECCCCC FABULOUS!!  I also got the teeny tiny weeny winy swarovskis that I put at the waist of Jayden’s dress.. OMG.. sparkly warkly. (do I sound like I have a mental deficiency today? I am writing like a 2 month old! ROFLMAO).  The nice thing about this border is that it lines up beautifully, you can colour intermittent daisies in, you can sparkle the center, you can keep them in a shadow ink, rainbow ink etc! Lots more coming with samples!

MWAH!

you know there are days where you just don’t know how to get your sistah friends/family etc out of a slump?  Or no words can really help them snap out of it?  Well here is the perfect BELLISIMA to snap someone out of their blues.  She is perky and cute and in SHAPE (hmph.. double hmph..)… Can you tell my mood?  LOL.

OMG you can Liquid Applique her pompoms, you can glitter her.. you can swarovski crystallize her.. and the sentiments to go with her?  (MWAH with all my finger puckered to my mouth and blown outwards).. does that image even make sense?

I am a tiredabella

love to all

big fat juicy HONKIN’ mwah’s
