As for starbucks…I’m not a coffee person (GASP!) but I love me a vanilla steamer with whipped cream, cinnamon and nutmeg!
It seems to me that the Design Team had “martinis” on their mind…LOL Quite a few Stella with the Olive!! but all so beautiful! Again so many gorgeous samples, lots of ideas and inspiration. Thanks Bella for putting it all together – love the Bellarific Fridays…
My Starbucks order is very simple: Grande Decaf no fat, low foam Latte… but so yummmmy….!

Gorgeous cards from the bella babes and the sisterhood! Loved it. As for Starbucks…not a huge fan of coffee and the like, so I usually just get a hot chocolate! 🙂
These cards are fantastic..Talk about alot to get your inspiration from!
Great job to all!!!!
Thanks for the birf-day wishes today and thank you for giving me Stella! i am having THE MOST WONDERFUL day and the love just keeps pouring in. I’ll be sipping on some of those cosmo martinis tonight but I certainly hope I don’t wind up with my butt in my glass! LOL! !
Viewing these cards is definitely a highlight each week – everyone is so creative and inspirational! I loved them all!
Can’t wait to see what’s new. Awesome creations!
Great work Sistahs! I wasn’t able to play this week as I am on vacation and don’t have my stamping supplies with me. I can’t wait to get back to my stamping desk after seeing all these wonderful cards.
My fav Starbucks at this time of year is a Mocha Frapachino. It brings me right to my happy place where I live in denial of the calorie/fat count that I am sippin.
Have a great weekend everyone – see you here next week.
Wow!! Great job girls!! You can see that Stella With An Olive On Top is a definately fav! I love seeing all the cards because they all showcase the stamps so well!!
Hmm, any chance you may have a couple releases tmw, Emily? LOL! Nancy and I are on our way down to spend our Bella Bucks!! We’re also introducing our daughter’s to Bellaland…oh boy, oh boy! Cya tmw!
Woot! They’re all gahgeous! Too funny with all the Stella love. I’m not a coffee drinker, so on my rare visits to Starbucks, I get a simple hot tea with honey. Orange-something-or-another on the last trip.
Beautiful cards and I love the colours used.
wow… everyone did so great with this sketch. I wanted to do a card, but never got around to it this week. but I may go ahead and do one later this weekend anyway, it’s a good sketch

I look forward to Fridays and seeing everyone’s samples. I have decided that I must be sending my cards to the wrong email address or I am just plain “challenged”…this is the second week in a row that my card has been lost in cyberspace! But I am nothing if not persistent…I’ll try again next week!
Woah!! Awesome creations, ladies!!! I am amazed at the incredible amount of talent out there!! Way to go!!
Great cards ladies! And beautiful coloring! I am falling for those Kettos…. adorable!
