I promise to post

Okay one more thing before I shut down for the night, I created this blog at the beginning of the month and became overwhelmed, So I left it idle. Well ladies, no more I made a promise to myself that I would get this blog going and with the next week off for Spring break I am going to get it all together. So with that please stop by every now and again and take a look, please leave comments I would love to hear from you.

Don't forget to visit with me over at bellaholicsanonymous, I'll be chatting frequently.
Have a great week-end and keep those stamps wet.
Ink Hugs to all

Oh what fun to play with Bella's, I stopped at my local scrap store today and picked up some Brazil cs, this one is Limeade which I used for the basic card, the pattern paper is tickled pink - Journey, I layered her with regal rose and certainly celery. I colored her in with my SU water color pencils since I just ordered my prismas markers. Can't wait to get them I hear they are awesome to work with. The ribbon is from American Craft and is pretty much regal rose with white dots, I used my ticket punch on the corners and added light green brads on all four corners. The pics not the best, please bear with me while I practice how to get the best shots.

Bella's

Are you a Bella fan? Then you have to check out the new Yahoo group that Jenstampz created. She got some Bella swaps going on and RAK happening, so check it out to see some great talent in the photo gallery. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bellaholicsanonymous/

Another spot you need to go to is www.stampingbella.com, to see all the Bella's, Emily has posted her latest Bella and this one will knock your socks off. This is a must have for me, since my DH has a beauty parked in our garage. So since I can't drive his, I have to get one of my own. Mine will be less $$$ and more fun!

You go girl!

Good ole Betty Boop! My DD loves this gal and one of my friends received it in a bag of goods from TAC. Since she isn't fond of Betty herself, I thought why not I would give her a shot on a card. The pattern paper is from Joann's Spring stack on white cs, since I haven't been able to get my hands on the scalloped punches (love the oval) I did this free handed with Fiskars scalloped scissors as you can tell not the best looking scallops, I colored in her dress with my SU watercolor pencils and blender pen, the ribbon red w/ white dots is from Michael's and I used dazzling diamonds on her dress, the saying in the lower right hand corner is $1 Michael's " You go Girl" saying. I think I need to go back and use some versamark and black embossing to bring out the sayings. Not sure I really like it other than it's Betty Boop and she is cute.

Taking a stab at a box purse

Took a stab at making a box purse after seeing Chi Chi Allen's pretty little purse on SCS. So for my first attempt I thought of my friend Tammy who is just as addicted to stamping as I am and loves to try out new projects for gifts. For her, I thought she would like some personalize note cards. I used Signature Suite paper for the box and added a prima flower held with a SU brad to the front so the brad would hold down the front fold. Notecards are made with SU Regal Rose and accented with the Signature Suite paper and SU choclate chip and close to coco. For the inital I used a rub-on alaphbet, since I cut the matting as 1 3/4" and 2" then realized that my stamps were either too large or too small. After completing the little box I decided not to add the purse strap as I kind of like the look of the little pocket box. I thought it turned out rather cute if I may say, so of course I made myself one just to have to sit on my self in my craft area. LOL ladies...
