Love Me Do Blog Hop

Welcome to the Love Me Do Blog Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you came here from Joanne B's blog you are on the right path; if not click here to start at the beginning!

For my Love Me Do card I chose "Wrapped in Love". The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. The DS paper is from My Minds Eye Be Loved collection. I embossed a piece of velum with Sizzix heart embossing plate and sewed this onto the ds paper. The ghost heart also has a piece of DS paper under it. I used a EK success punch and added some butterscotch sundae baubles

How about a prize? In addition to the fabulous eye candy, we have decided to hide a prize somewhere along the hop! One pre-selected blogger will draw a random winner from the comments on her post, and the winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher to Stamping Bella!!! The fun part is...we're not telling you who it is! So as you hop, make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! The winner will be announced on the Friday on the SCS forum

Now hop on over to Angela's blog to continue on your hop! Have a great day

MWAH!!

This weeks Bellariffic Friday is Valentines; which is funny for me because we don't do anything for valentines day since hubby is usually travelling (this year included!!)

For my Bellariffic I chose Phoebe Ketto because of all the hearts in her had and on her dress. The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I paper pieced the hearts (except for the few teeny tiny ones) and added some crystal stickles.


The sentiment MWAH! (KISSES) is from stamping bella & after stamping the sentiment I then went over it with a pitch black atyou spica pen. The ds paper is from My Mind's Eye's Be Loved collection. I added some lemonade baubles in the corner.



Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see all the other Valentine cards & remember there is the Love Me Do Blog Hop tomorrow starting at 10am CT starting with Bloggabella!!

Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is a colour challenge - Pink, Orange & Turquoise!! Email your card to Em before midnight on Thursday

Thanks for stopping by; have a great day

Warm enough for a vest!

I made this card in honour of our weather - it's warming up so you could just wear a sweater & a vest!! The boots you may want still because the snow is finally starting to melt!

Miss Anya Autumn from the Greeting Farm is printed on Neenah paper and coloured with copics. I used a green atyou spica pen on the ribbons in her hair. The cs is riding hood red and baja breeze; sorry the ds is from my scrap bin (but I am pleased that I actually used some!!) I paper pierced around the ds paper and added the navy ribbon and button

Thanks for stopping by - have a great day!!

Sweet n Sassy Spring

Happy Tuesday - this is my second week being a guest designer on the Sweet 'n Sassy digi blog & I am having so much fun! I must admit I did use too many digi images before this; but I can tell this is going to be another slippery slope for me!

Here's a peak at the card I made using "One of a Kind"

The 2nd card made uses a sweet bear called "Benjamin Bunny"

Click here to go to the Sweet 'n Sassy digi blog to see the cards - it's was nice to colour some springtime images since we are still deep in winter here! We haven't had the snow that's hit the USA but it's cold, foggy and there is frost and snow everywhere still, really is spring ever going to come?!

Have a great day

Feeling Sketchy

This weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge was a sketch designed by Shannan. After flipping through my bindahs several times I settled on a sweet bittyblooms.

Lilly Bittybloom is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I paper pieced her had leaving the stem loose. I added some glamour dust glitter along her dress for some sparkle. The ds paper is from my stash of Basic Grey paper (phoebe). I added 3 frosted bella bonbons in the corner.

Make sure you pop over to Bloggabella to see all the great cards - Shannan thanks for such a great sketch sistah!

Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays Challenge is VALENTINES - make sure email you card to Em by midnight on Thursday

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by

Feeling my Mojo...

I LOVED this week's Mojo Monday sketch (mojo 124), so I inked up one of my long neglected stamps from Stamping Bella & played along!

Dolly Ketto is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I paper pieced the hearts on her dress and used a green atyou spica pen on the bows in her hair and coloured her shoes with a clear glaze pen. I added two tiny rhinestones for the buttons on her dress.

The DS paper is Bo Bunny's Love Bandit collection, and I added some ribbon, paper piercing, prima flowers and a bella bonbon in the center.

You have until midnight Thursday to email Em your cards for this weeks Bellariffic Fridays click here to see the amazing sketch

Thanks for stopping by

Feburary Calender

I finished the calender the first week of January & I am really happy with how it turned out! I used all Stamping Bella stamps and lots of my stash of DS paper (sadly there is still a ton to use!)

This month I used LOVEbeetle Huggabugg which is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics. I picked my colours from the Basic Grey bittersweet ds paper I used to mount the month on. The nice thing about using the DS paper on some months is it kept the calender from getting too bulky.

I used my pink atyou spica pen along the car trim, and my red atyou spica on the hearts. For the headlights I used a gelly roll pen and a clear glaze pen on top.

The calender is 5x5 and the base is the exact size of the calender, the base paper I have is 130lb so I just cut a strip 5x12 and scored it at 1, 6, 11 to give a base and used sticky strip to hold it together and the binder rings are recycled from last years calender.

This weeks Bellariffic Friday is a sketch challenge - make sure you email you card to Em by midnight Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by & have a fantastic day
