WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Let me know what you think!  I think it is a little BizZy.. but that is how my brain has been working lately.. I also wanted to show an example that there IS life beyond the bellas …LOL (altho I want you to know that the Bellas are my life..*giggles**) but I have a lot of OTHER funky stamps too that I am trying to load but a little short on time…  Anyhow.. here’s the card

[photopress image=”wine_bucket_002.gif”]

A little crooked (that’s how my brain has been working lately too..) but you get the idea.. who wants to know the ‘studio’ for this card pic?  My daughter, Jayden’s bookcase..  I need to set me up a proper place.. OHHH maybe I can use my laundry room for that too! (LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF)

Anyway, I used brand spanking new “ice bucket” stamp.. I put it in the celebration section cuz people were complaining that it was EMP-TY.. ya happy now?  there is one happy ice bucket in there..LOL.  I also used my medium lily pad (LOVE THEM LILYPADS) and my 3 line funky celebrate.. I love my 3 liners.. I have them in different themes and there is SO MUCH you can do with them.. Nicky is preparing a tutorial on what you can do with these stamps (RIGHT NICK?).  Also used the new American Crafts paper.. LOVE that paper.. and of course.. of COURSE my swarovski crystals!

hope you have a great day and there is MORE to come!

MWAH!

Remember my grout sticks? (see post way down).. well the day has come.. they are now DEMOLISHING my first floor..HMPH.. my daughter and right hand woman, Ruby, who works with me and my kids (she is the best Rubybella in the WORLD!!) ate in the laundry room (otherwise known as the BELLA showroom–how extravagant, huh?).. YA thought I was a fancy shmancy pants, huh????oooohhh fancy shmancy… that would be cute sentiment with a funky dress no? (OK COMPETITORS, I SAID IT FIRST N’k?)

Sooooo…  I just wanted to keep you posted on my life…. tomorrow the demolishing will continue, so I will try to get fresh cut flowers and some mood music for the laundry room.. will keep posted..

Ohhh I almost forgot!  I met with Barb K yesterday! What a delight!  She came in from Thunder Bay Ontario just to see me! (LOLOL.. just kiddinK..she came to see her lovely grandson and children).. so we shmoozed, had coffee and took pictures.. EEEEEKKKKKKK. Thank goodness I was wearing makeup.. Sephora makeup.. mmmm.. delish.. So MAYBE if she posts the pic, I will link you to it.. depends how it comes out..LOL.. It must be so weird for you to speak to a blank space?  Do I really exist? Oh gosh… here I go again…

 MWAH!!

Em

was to show you the scalloped frame.. do you like it?  not for sale yet.. will post later on today

Em

Self?  Am I spoiling my sistahs? NAHHHH , I say, can never spoil them.. They are the BEST in the world and it is payback.. so I made a little teensy weensy card showing off my bella scalloped frame.. is it not phenom?  It fits MOST of the bellas not all but you can mask and play around and the great thing is.. you can color the scallops in.. I LOVE IT.. but then again, what don’t I love?  This is why I created this line.. because I love at least 99% of the images.. that may be good or not so good.. I know I should try to satisfy everyone’s taste but I SO can’t.. If I no likey, I cannot ‘selley’ or create for that matter.. so what you see is who I am.. really..

[photopress image=”scallopframe.jpg”]

 please excuse the mess in the background including the pink copic marker dangling in the middle.. I swear.. when I take pics.. I don’t create ‘ambience’.. LOL.. I slap it on my son’s bookshelf..on my daughter’s changing table, in my underwear drawer.. (haven’t gotten there yet.. note to self.. clean underwear drawer).  So here you have it.. surpriseabella with hat and my NEW FAVE Basic Grey “Phoebe”… I think you will see a portion of it on every single one of my cards.. LOL

Off to meet one of the ladies at the stamp shack (Barb K.- you remember her.. she won my contest with C.C.B.).. She was in town and we made a meeting point at my LSS!! SO EXCITED!! will report afterwards…

I know I have been MIA for the last few days but I have been swamped with work, responding to the sistahs and entertaining my mom who came in from Montreal for the weekend.. All in all was lotsa fun and the kids were in HEAVEN being spoiled from morning to night.

I have been reading all of the posts on SCS and having a BLAST reading them and I SO WANNA participate more but can’t as I don’t want to disturb the rules and regs and don’t want to irritate any other company that posts on SCS.. SEE I PLAY nicely in the sandbox.

You sistahs have been SOOOO patient with me and I know I keep you on your toes.. so I think I will think of a day in the month to post new images.. (and of course I will sneak some in between to keep you on your toes..can’t lose my effect totally ya know)… so whaddya think of the 1st of the month?  Do you likey that idea?  let me know!

Even though it is the 18th today I feel like sharing a Bella.  I really LOVE her and there are such JUICIES coming, you will freak right out, I swear.  Oh and the storage thing is already in production and I think will be good to go in about 3-4 weeks.. So here goes.  I just want you to see that you inspire me every day.. I LISTEN to the sistahs and wanna make them happy.. so I think you will be happy with…………….. CHEFABELLA.

[photopress image=”chefabella_001.jpg”]

 Is she DEEEELISH?? I mean, literally.  I designed her to have a turkey in one hand and a pie in the other so that we can really satisfy the cooks and the bakers out there.. I personally, am the EATER (hmph.. note to self, diet starts on Monday AGAIN).  My fave part of her, of course, is the curly apron.. I LOVE HER!! She can be used for holidays, for birthdays, for dinner party invitations (haven’t done one of those in YEARS-dinner party that is).

 So…… I hope you likey and you realize how much I love you and listen all the time..

Hope you love her as much as I do

Emmabella.. chief dietabella (not)

How bad do I feel?  spoke to Nicky and she can’t move.. now HOW MEAN WAS I yesterday?? That man who saw me on the floor hysterical probably went home to his wife and told her the story…

hmph

not so niceabella
