So today or yesterday? Is Emily's birthday, she is the owner/founder of Stamping Bella, so in honor of her birthday I made her a card {shannon is having a birthday card challenge over on the Bella forum on SCS}.  Isn't she too cute!  All of the paper is this cool textured paper by Bazzil.  I colored her in with Copics and put stickles over her apron and a few blingy things on the scallops.  The sentiment is from Verve. Today's limited supply challenge on SCS is to only use a brad as your only emellishment, I also paired this challenge with the challenge from Sharon {notimetostamp} to make a 10 minute card.  I used the stamps from Flourishes LLC Peony set and the sentiment is from the Siberian Iris set.  Again I used the cool textured paper.  I colored in the bee's and the flowers with Copics.  The brad is from Basic Grey. I am off to a hail and farewell with my hubby, gotta run >"

I have a lot of mail to send out today, a few birthdays and I stamped of some images that I am sending to a few friends.  The first card is from yesterdays sketch challenge on SCS, I am really liking that sketch, I will have to file it away.  The bella was too long to fit on the white cardstock, so I stamped it on the cardstock and then stamped her again, colored her in, cut her out and then layered her over the ribbon.  The sentiment is from PTI, and to finish the card off I put three little pearls in a row.  The second card is going all the way to London, Nicola is always giving stuff away on her blog for doing her sketches.  I love her style.  So I am sending her a little something in the mail.  This card is a really simple design, I used my DIY monogramer I believe this is the Curlz set.  Instead of putting initials, I wrote "hi".  I used my nestabilities circle set to layer the circles, the textured cardstock is Bazzil, the white it PTI and the dp is from Cosmo Cricket. ...

Does anyone else feel like Valentines Day is really sneaking up on you? I can't believe its on Thursday, where has the first 10 days of this month gone?!? I really cannot produce anything that looks good today, not even a picture {sorry} Today I cleaned my house early in the day so I could make a few cards, I think the bleach wiped away my mojo lol. This is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. card base {papertrey stampers select cardstock}. The designer paper is from BasicGrey's Two Scoops line. I think this is flowerbella? The image is watercolored by using prisma pencils. I used Martha Stewart's two way glue, and then sprinkled dazzling diamonds on it while it was still wet. To give it a faux stitched look, I paper pierced along the edges, then took my sakura black pen & connected the holes. The pink & gold ribbon is May Arts ribbon {that I bought forever ago}. The friends sentiment is by Papertrey ink. Maybe I will post later to redeem myself, I need to dig deep and pull my moj...

I recieved my first Bella's in the mail yesterday (4 of them to be exact!) A few of my neighbors found out that they are expecting this week. This card I am going to make 6-8 cards for a set for one of them. Myself along with my neighbors are all military. So since none of us live around family, Jen can send these out to a few people. I also recieved a Stampin Up order yesterday as well...it was a good mail day. In the order was heat & stick powder and stampin glitter. This technique was easy peasy, there are so many possabilities :) Well this has to be a quick one, I have to run out the door before my daughter is late for school!
