Bellariffic Sketch Revisited....

Happy Friday!  As you know last week Em was swamped with the Creativ Festival in Toronto, and a little under the weather so she wasn't able to post the cards for the sketch Elaineabella had created.  In order to see everyone's amazing creations we decided to re-visit the sketch this week!!

I needed a baby card, and I never have those on hand so I used the sketch for my starting point and the card came together super quick (love it when that happens!)  For my baby card I reached Julia's diaper bag from Stamping Bella.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the name tag on the bag and wrote sweet Avery's name with an atyou spica pen.  On the baby bottles I used a clear glaze pen to make them look like glass bottles.  The ds paper is from Imaginisce; baby powder line.  I stitched around the ds paper and added some pink rhinestones in the corners.

Make sure you pop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the babes & sistah's creations with the sketch.   NEXT WEEKS theme is 1, 2, 3 - 1 image, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments.  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included- you could win Bella bucks!!

All Wrapped UP

I've had this Kraftin Kimmie image that I bought from Sheila at Scrappin Great Deals and realized time is running out to get all my Halloween images made up!!

Mitzi the Mummy is stamped with mementos ink & coloured with copics.  The ds paper is echo parks happy halloween - I loved the colours in this paper, and really I could use it up after Halloween!  I added some ribbon from my stash and buttons to finish off the card.

This was a really quick card to make and such a fun image!

Quick Christmas Wishes

Since hurting my arm I've fallen even further behind on my Christmas cards - I'm really going to have to get into the spirit over the next few weeks to get them out on time!!  I like to have them ready the first week of Dec since so many go overseas.

For my card today I used the Merry Christmas - Happy New Year sentiment from Stamping Bella, and I actually managed to make 4 of them!  The image is coloured with markers then stamped onto bella's bestest paper.  I cute the image out with nesties and layered it on black cs.  The ds paper is from basic greys joival paper.  On the olive cs I used cuttlebugs snowflake embossing folder.

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is 1-2-3 - 1 stamp, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments - email your cards to Em by Thursday to be included on Friday

Sketch Time

Happy Friday, I've been resting the arm this week & I think it paid off - I managed to colour my bellariffic friday card without too much pain!!  Wee bit of swelling, but I'm definitely on the upswing (finally!!)

This weeks bellariffic Fridays theme was a sketch by Elaine-abella; who has been sick this past week poor thing!!  For my card I pulled out an Izzie image; she is just so sweet; I love her wild curly hair!  Izzie has a Daisy is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copcis.  The DS paper is October Afternoons Thrift shop line.  I stitched the ds paper to some yellow cs.  I added some small brads in the corners and in the centre of the flowers I added some tiny rhinestones.

If you are in the Toronto are Em & Paulabella will be at the Creativ Festival this weekend - make sure you pop by to say hi & do a little shopping!

Givin some Ketto lovin'

Happy Friday!!  The wrist/thumb still aren't great so this will be a short but sweet post!  It took way too long to colour a Ketto, but it was nice to colour a little (not sure my physiotherapist would agree with the colouring!)

This weeks theme was Kettos; I loved these images when they came out, and was excited to play along.  When I was in Montreal this summer I was down in Old Montreal (which is FANTASTIC) and saw a store that sells dishes with Ketto's on them - so cute!!

Suzette Ketto was stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  On the flowers I used a pitch black atyou spica pen and on the polka dots on her skirt I used black micro fine glitter.  The ds paper is from Echo park - I love the bright colours on their papers

If you are in the GTA area Em will be at Scrapfest in Oshawa this weekend - if I was still out east I know what I would be doing this weekend!  Make sure you pop by & say hi; she's near the door to make it easy for ya and she'll have all the new releases with her!!  Right now Em is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over 55.00 (now that's easy to do!!) click here for the details.

A Little Peek of a new Peep!!

Today I'm excited to be able to show you a sneak peek from Em that she is releasing on Friday; thankfully she sent it to me early so I was able to get it coloured before I injured my arm - I had it worked on again today so I'm hoping it'll start feeling better soon!!    

Preggo Peeps in on bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For the ice cream I used some java micro fine glitter to give it some sparkle.  For the pickle jar I used a clear glaze pen and paper pieced the jar.  The ds paper is from echo park - life is good 

I love how real the pickles look, I must confess I am a dill pickle (vlasic kosher dills only) Hubby bought a monster family size jar at Walmart & I told him he was crazy they would get funky tasting before I finished them - well I finished the jar in under 2 weeks so now we will always have the monster size jar in our house!!

Don't forget this weeks bellariffic fridays theme is Kettos - make sure you email your card to Em by Thursday!  If you live in the Oshawa are Em will be at Scrapfest this weekend - make sure you stop by to say Hi & she will have the new releases for ya!!

Fall Bellariffic

Well since my wrist is still swollen with a big old lump I couldn't colour an image (it would be tragic and painful if I tried!!) So I went for one of the solid images I have from Stamping Bella - solid funky grass.  

I really have fallen in love with this image - I'm find it very versatile!  I coloured with image with markers, huffed & puffed then stamped the image onto bella's bestest paper.  I cut the image out then mounted it onto a square nesties.  In the centres I added some tiny yellow rhinestones.  The DS paper is from cosmo crickets nutmeg collection.

Don't forget to stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the Bellariffic Friday's creations!  Next weeks theme is KETTOS - email your cards to Em by Thursday

For all you Canadian sistahs Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy the long weekend!  Not sure what our plans are - we were suppose to golf Saturday, now hubby gets to go without me; maybe I should do some retail therapy for my wrist?!

Sorry

Just wanted to say sorry for the lack of production.  We played golf on Sunday & it was my last round of the season because by the 13th hole I had to quit - I HURT MY WRIST! Yep there's a big lump on the wrist & still a lot of swelling in the hand, and yes it's the colouring hand.  I had it checked yesterday & it's just tendons so once the swelling goes down I should be OK - Ice & advil are my friends these days!!


Did you see Em is now on YOUTUBE!!  She is so freakin brave!!  She also gave a sneak peek of an image that's being released later this month & don't forget to check out Tantalizing TOOOSdays 

Remember to email Em your cards by tomorrow for Bellariffic Fridays (I'm currently kicking myself for not working ahead!!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!!

October Calender

This month was a hard one for me because of the calender design I was limited on the images from Stamping Bella that would work & there are so many amazing Halloween images but they wouldn't work :(

I then had a light bulb moment and inked up Branching out Owlies from the Tiddly Inks line. The owls are stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics, for their eyes I used a clear glaze pen (sorry it doesn't really show in the calender) . The calender is mounted on ds paper from Basic Grey's Eerie line.

Don't forget next weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is fall colours, email your card to Em by Thursday

Have a great day - thanks for stopping by

Bewitching

It's a very scary Bellariffic Friday with all the Halloween ghost & goblins!  To be honest all of Stamping Bella's stamps are cute, sweet Halloween ghost & goblins which I prefer!!

For my card I used this weeks sketch on SCS (SC300) and inked up Bewitched-a-tude.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  I paper pieced the end of her broom & cut the image out with nesties.  The DS paper is basic grey's halloween paper from last year which is layered on pumpkin pie paper & stiched.  For the sky I used Versa magics dew drop inks in aspen mist & niagara mist and sponge the colours on

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see all the babes creations & what the sistah have for Halloween treats!!  Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is a colour challenge - FALL COLOURS.  Email Em your card by Thursday to be included next week Bellariffic Fridays
