Sistahs,

As much as I don’t like pictures taken and as much as I really don’t like to be part of the limelight, I must reveal Barb’s rendition of our meeting on Monday.  It completely captured the moment and really accurately described our wonderful day.  So, take a peek.. I am not quite sure why my hand is LODGED on my jutting out hip (oh how I wish it was a bone.. but it is NOT) in both pictures.  So read it up.. you will meet Nicky as well and I hope you enjoy as it is SO well written.. actually impressively written!  Oh and that kissy picture at the end was completely ad libbed (is that a word??)!  LOVED IT!

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

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!

OMGGGGGGG… OMGGGGG.. just ask Nicky and Natanya.. they got a sneak peak.. I promise I won’t make you wait til the first for something new cuz you have been so good to me… SOOOO in the next coupla days, you will get something new.

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!!

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…
