Release Day!

there’s a NEW girl in town…. and a RELEASE and a GIFTY AND A LONNNG POST

Hiya sistahs!  ARE YOU READY FOR TODAY??? I mean REHEALLY ready?? I have been waiting for this moment for a LONNNNNG time …LOL  I am hoping you love this release as much as I do… there are 29 IMAGES!!!

with orders from $50.00- $74.99- you receive 2 FREE stamps of our choice

and with orders from $75.00 +- you receive 3 FREE stamps of our choice

But first, I need to be annoying and REALLY show how old I am.  When I put the title “there’s a new girl in town”.. I IMMEDIATELY thought of this show. I just LOVED alice.. watched it weekly.. it really brings back great memories..

K.. now back to your regularly scheduled program.LOL.

So our VERY OWN PAULABELLA decided to draw.. UMMM.. one doesn’t just DECIDE TO DRAW do they??  Well SHE DID.. and OMG, her line is outstanding!! I wanted her to call her line “perspectives” because each and every frame has a different perspective on the object.. SHE POO POO’D me.. but I love the name she came up with EVEN MORE.. “ARTIST @ HEART”.. I love love LOVE that name..  You will really enjoy Paula’s stamps… they are FRAMED but you don’t have to cut them perfectly.. they are meant to be wonky so you can hand cut it easily or use a 2″ punch!.. they are a PHENOM focal for a CLEAN and ELEGANT card.. I LOVE THEM and hope to see MANY MANY MORE from Paulabella 🙂  And if you love them too, you gotta tell her on her blog. k?

These are FRAMED FLORALS

Here’s a sample of PAULABELLA’s POPPY card from the collection above

Here is Paula’s SUMMER DAYS collection

Are these AMAZINK or what?

So you haven’t seen EVERYTHING yet.. have you? oh YA.. you haven’t *insert bratty teasing smile here*

Meet BETH… and her company called 3 SISTERS.. when I saw these leggies on PINTEREST, I knew I had to find their “source”.. so OFF I went on a HUNT.. and it wasn’t easy, I might add. But I DID IT because I never let up..LOL until I get my way.  Beth and I HIT IT OFF instantly and I think her whimsical yet POWERFUL (there is a message there)  art with a vintage-Y feel will fill a void that we had.. She is ADORABLE and HILARIOUS.. you HAVE to read some of her blog posts HERE.You will definitely see why I love her so! Here are some pictures and a little bio 🙂

Beth and her sisters.. hence the name of the company.. how cute are they?

Here Beth is thinking of her next designs for us! LOL Right Beth?

and here’s her bio

Beth Fuller is a busy artist, mother and teacher who lives in a little town in Virginia. She’s been happily drawing since her second grade teacher, Mrs. Hess, LOVED her Dental Health Week poster full of dancing  feather boa-ed women partnered with life-size toothbrushes. Alas, her creative button was pushed and off she went. Beth did actually get a degree in Studio Art at James Madison University in Virginia but has learned since that sheer repetitive behavior is the best way to learn anything. So she makes a lot of art.
Right before her daughter was born three years ago she had a cathartic moment. She was only making art for the magazine, Brain,Child (the magazine for thinking mothers) and not much else. She realized that she was slowly waving goodbye to a huge part of herself. And consequently, the pictures and images she wanted to draw were just piling up in her head quite like the laundry. These ideas didn’t leave much room for the everyday things she needed to remember, like, “Where’s my child? and “Was that my exit?”….so out of sheer necessity and pleasure she began to work and work and work freeing up some precious brain space. And she is enjoying every minute of it.

She came up with the name Three Sisters because of her growing up with two sisters who are her best friends and advisors-good and bad, solicited and not! She thinks that the term “sisters” can be applied to not only biological sisters but the ones we make along the way. She hopes with this new endeavor to be able to share her art with many, many new sisters (advice optional).
Beth’s work has appeared in many publications, online and in galleries. She’s probably making art and PB&J’s as you read this, concentrating very hard in order to spread the peanut butter on the bread and paint on the page.

so you are probably wondering what her images are? hmmmm?

Here is the image that started it all.. felt empowering and again a little goofy ;).. I LOVE this image

here’s FRIENDS UNITED (including the sentiment)

I made a canvas board with this image and framed it.. and I love it.. the only thing is that my CHILDREN DECIDED TO TOUCH THE GLASS and I didn’t realize it..LOL so don’t pay ANY attention to the fingermarks N’K?

grrr.. SMUDGE MARKSSSSSS

Here’s a closeup so you can see the texture and sheen..

bootsies and shoesies coloured with COPIC-sies

Another one of Beth’s images is a vintage GUMBALL machine.. I FELL IN LOVE the second I saw it.. and I put the sentiment, you are one in a million.. just so you can colour only ONE of the gumballs.. smart, no?  Please note that on Paula’s project below, it is NOT the font that comes with the image… check the image on the website for the proper font.

and if you wanna WIN THE FRAMED IMAGE BELOW.. SIGNED AND LOVED BY PAULABELLA, you bettah RUN and place a comment on her post so you have a chance to win it!!  it’s PRICELESS, I SAY!  Contest closes THURSDAY at 6pm

Here’s the VINTAGE GUMBALL MACHINE

Beth’s THIRD image is a HIWHEEL bicycle.. I LOVE this.. I can’t wait to stamp it in my journal or send it to an old friend who shares lots of memories with me 🙂
