WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

[photopress image=”daintybellawithwatermark.jpg”] 

Well meet daintybella!  Is she just the cutest?  she can be a bridesmaid or a bat mitzvah girl (I think.. what do you think?), she can be a casual bride.. I just think she is SOO pretty.. (when I say ‘pretty’ to my dear 19 month old daughter, Jayden,  she proceeds to twirl incessantly, showing her stuff and immediately passes out from dizzyness–MEAN MOMMY)–but she is so cute doing it that I can’t stop her?!?!?!?!?

P.S regarding the post below INKITUP.. please write a comment to nicky that you saw it here so you can get your well deserved prezzy… (sp?)  you guys must think I am OBSSESSED with spelling..

P.S. I am

MWAH! (LOVE LOVE LOVE this term).. my friend Shmiz (AKA LIZ- donthcha remember? you met her a few posts ago!) signs off this way.. if you say it, it sounds like a kiss! may just have to make a stamp like this (all other rubber stamp companies reading this may steal this idea–LOL)-.. thoughts?  I THINK IT IS PHENOM so it really doesn’t matter.. na na na na na na na na  (said in a nasal teasing voice).

love ya all

mwah!

 this is an announcement to all my fellabellas… now that I have digested my meal and am packing orders busily.. I must tell you a little bit about my favorite techniques video.  As you have seen in my blog, I have my fave website which is www.inkitupvideo.com.  This is Nicky and Dianne’s amazzzinnnnnnggggggggg DVD.  Let me tell you a little bit about this ‘bible’ of mine…

As you all know, Nicky is a huge part of Stamping Bella’s existence.. and if you love the BELLA, you will love THE NICKY.  So here goes.. I won’t give it all up to you.. you will have to take the BELLA word for it! 

INKITUP is a PHENOM dvd with cardmaking, scrapbooking, and stampandscrap techniques ( you thought I didn’t have any techniques on my blog.. well, it’s because I was saving this hidden treasure for you!).  Every project that is done in the scrap portion is also done in the stamping portion.. OMG.. where do I begin?  Here is a little recap of what you will learn.. vellum techniques (Nicky is VELLUM QUEEN- and it is really hard to find any info on vellum), random stamping, stippling, masking, acetate.. you name it, THEY GOT IT.  This DVD caters  to all levels of stamping.. it adds dimension and inspiration to the ‘professional’ stamper, and gets the beginner stamper all excited and inspired.. it truly is amazing.

Here’s the clincher.. the BLOOPERS.. who in their right mind would shoot a DVD with 104 degree fever, a nose like rudolph, unfocused pneumonia-infested eyes… only my NICKABELLA would!!  So, while dianne and nicky were talking about something, the videographer was busy shooting.. so the last portion of this DVD (which is worth it’s money in gold), is the bloopers.. OMG OMG OMG.. they are SO hilarious.. you will laugh your heads off and you can sneak a peek on their website (there is a little 2 minute clip).  Trust me.. you will love it.

for the first 20  people to order, you will get a little gifty from the NICKMEISTER.

HOW much can I bet you that you are thinking I am posting a new bella with a full tummy and you are all SOOOO excited.  Sorry to let you down.. this bella typing like crazy at MIDNIGHT is the one with the full tummy.. I will tell you why a little further down. 

So I see that my audience has grown?  is it because of my beautiful card gallery, or is it because of the techniques I am sharing with all of you OR… (drum roll please)  is it because I am the biggest bella goofball on this planet and you can’t wait to hear what I am up to next?  Me thinks it is the option C. 

I am having SOOOO much fun with this competition, you have no idea…and I am absolutely DYING to tell you your progress but I will not. My lips are sealed. *NANANANANANANANAN* (fingers in ears a-la -4.5 -year- old -son -sleeping -like a- little -angel- in- the- other- room -does).. did you say something? LOL

Please keep em coming cuz there will be 2 winners now.. COUNT’em 2!

So I have a full tummy cuz my ex boss.. steve.. whom I ADORE and LOVE and CHERISH and LOVE and ADORE took my hub and I out for supper. OMG.. Steve and I LOVE our food so we know, when we get together on a business dinner it’s” no holds barred “(OMG I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME AND WHEN I WRITE IT I THINK I AM A LUNATIC-THIS SO DOES NOT MAKE SENSE).  I may as well call my HUB by name.. you all probably know him by now-RYAN-.. n’k? I hate people who always say “my husband my husband my husband”..he has a name YA KNOW.  So Ryan and Steve had 3.5 pound lobsters.. can you believe?  I would like to tell you that they were bigger than my ‘b-hind’  that’s how big they were.. but they really weren’t (note to self-diet starts tomorrow AGAIN). They were ENORMOUS.. and salad and steak and shrimp cocktail.. I am such a stuffed-a-bella but tres happy.

wise words of the evening.. they can be grout sticks in a pretty case, they can be tools of any shape or form, ‘bellies’, or FOOD..these things make me so happy so I thought I would share my menu with all of you tonight..

love to all

my dearest Bella-issimas, 

So I make this card.. YA I REALLY DO MAKE CARDS, OK?  and I really LOVE it.  now I mean LOVE it.  It is really simple and clean.. nothing fancy, but it turns my crank.. this is the CLINCHER.  You ready?  I go downstairs to my photo studio (dining -room- with -2 -8.5*11 -pieces -of- paper -as- a- backdrop -against -a -vase- on -my -buffet- say that 10 times fast).. I take my camera and of course.. THE BATTERIES are DEAD.  I am so miffed (I could so say something worse but I won’t)!  So what I CAN do is show you the stamp I used.. it is called “MANLY PHONE” (that just made me laugh–where do I come up with this stuff?).. girly phone is on it’s way.. So hope you enjoy the stamp.. my card will be up as soon as I can revive the dead camera (you think CPR would work? *giggles*)

Have a BELLA-rific day (ok, now I am getting nauseating)

Emmabella- (not so nauseating)

look at my PEEPS go! (always wanted to use the word ‘peeps’=people)

laughing my &*&^ off reading the answers.. and a WHOLE WEEK OF THIS?  this is goooooooooooooooooooooood.
