Yes - it is!! I paired Melanie's Tee Talk sentiment by Gina K Designs with my stamper Stamping Bella - cute, huh?? I used dp Let it Bloom which is available at Gina K Designs (there are SO many sheets of double-sided papers in there & they are fun)! Slightly thinner than other dp but there is so much texture in it & the patterns all match, like Basic Grey. Fun! Her dress is paper-pieced, I'd love to have one that cute!
Have you checked out the blog Sheetload of Cards?! Well, their May issue is up - go there to download your FREE copy. In it, they have this cool template with measurements & supplies needed to make 6 of the above cards. Since this issue features Bellas & Baubles, I thought I would make my cards with bellas too! 
Here is the prize you could win if you also post a Shout Out on your blog.
How fun is this card for a 2nd Grade teacher who is retiring? I love using Cornish Heritage Farms Lined Paper Backgrounder - PERFECT for a teacher, huh? I had a few teacher stamped images from a swap (so glad) because she is made for this card! I love the spiral punch to go with this backgrounder too. The center of the prima flowers is a silver dew drop by Robin's Nest (first time using it) I purchased at All That Scraps.
I feel like I've neglected a lot of my stamps lately and feel ashamed this is the first time I colored & used this image. When I first got the Sweetybellas (so many months ago) I stamped some images and never made a card with them until now *gasp* They are fun to color! I thought the fun-loving nature of the friends taking an ice cream break from shopping went really well with my glitter stack Nana's kids and of course my Lots of Thoughts SAB set with the great sentiments colored to match.
I made this card for Hanna Stamps Sketch Challenge 1 on the Hanna Stamps Forum from Kristi's party on Friday night. Decided to use CC150 - Real Soft Bayou (Real Red, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou) for my colors. I used the large polka dot backgrounder by Cornish Heritage Farms on my soft sky base. I used Prismacolor Pencils & OMS to color (FUN)
this cute, bright Stamping Sistahs bella card came from Monika Davis, M.A.D. Stamper - a Happy Blog Anniversary card! HA - when I showed to my DH he said, 'y'all just think of any excuse to send a card' and I said, 'yes, and any excuse to make one too' - so funny. Thanks, Monika...you're so sweet!!!
This pretty get well wishes card came from Marilyn Moseley of Stamp With Marilyn who up until last Saturday was a blogging buddy but is now a real life one too! We finally met at our up up-line's house for a meeting and as we were walking in together realized who we were! It was fun (and Marilyn it was not a bad thing about you not looking like your picture - you just looked different because you were dressed up & had your hair done differently) you have the sweetest looking face and it matches your personality. I love your card, but can't remember what technique you used on the base - polished stone? Thanks for sending me a card! Hope to see you again soon!
I got an order for some bella cards for a co-worker's daughter since she loved the card her mom had me make her for her birthday back in Sept. This is one I came up with I hope she likes (I didn't have anymore images of the bella she wanted, but I have this set and it's the first time I used it). I think it's cute!
I knew right away when I saw Bookwormabella I had to have her...because I love to read & I know a lot of people who love to read. I knew I would have to make her into a magnetic bookmark! How fun is she to keep your place? I just picked up this book for my sister who collects (also reads) James Patterson in hardback. I made her the bookmark to go with it. I always take gifts when I visit my family in CA and the trip on Thursday is NO exception. I may even smuggle a few Christmas gifts so I don't have to ship them in Dec. *wink* sorry about the blur, trying to rush because I have a TON of things to do before Thursday and we are trying to go visit one of our best friend's in the hospital (a deer hit him when he was on his motorcycle last weekend - get this, without a helmet on {I was always getting on his & his wife's case about that} and he did NOT lay his bike down, it was a miracle)! The guy who was driving behind him saw it all, it was a 4-point buck and he died, but the impact (according to the guy who witnessed it) made our friend move about 3 feet! Thank God for his safety! Later on, he found out a friend of his also hit a 10-pt deer, but they were not as fortunate - it punctured their tire. But thank God they were not hurt. Anyway, our friend has a staph infection in his leg the deer hit. No broken bones, scratches or anything just a lot of force on his leg that it balloonned up & he's on some serious antibiotics. If you are a praying person and would like to say a prayer for our friend his name is Dan. Thanks!
I love both! I love hanging out with friends in coffee shops. I don't do it as much in Texas as I did in CA. There were some really quaint places there and since the temperatures are always so much more mild there, it was not uncommon to hang out until 11:00 at night. Those were the days! I have a lot of fond memories. The only details I'll share about this card because it's pretty straighforward is that the patterned paper is Basic Grey Blush.
I needed to make a birthday card for a pretty redhead whose birthday is soon, so I grabbed my already colored redheaded bella and paired her with some Basic Grey Phoebe paper & grabbed my Faux Ribbon set by Papertrey to mimic all the fun patterns in the paper for the background. I LOVE this set, it has SO many possibilities! This card was easy & fun to make - I bet this redhead will get a kick out of it!
This set is the next prize for Julee's Beach Blogger Bingo! We already had one winner (Sarah) the other day!! I didn't make any cards to upload to get numbers drawn yesterday, so I made 2 for today with this sketch. I hope the bee border on the left of the 2nd card is o.k. because I did not have ANY bg paper to match the ATC bee (which is for Taylor's ATC Swap) this is the 2nd round (I was SO impressed with the 1st round I HAD to get in on the 2nd one-I never did post those pictures). But better than that - here's a link to the first ATC SWAP ALBUM Taylor uploaded. This way you see them ALL & not just the ones I got. I look forward to this next round!!!
I want to give a shout out to Michelle Wooderson who is so AWESOME - check out her blog Mish Mash so you can see tips (recently for Mass Producing cards) she posts often. I made a few Bella cards from this tip for Colored Images. It was so fun to grab some Bella images I got in a swap on a yahoo group for Bellaholics. Come join the fun if you LOVE Bellas!! I took My Mind's Eye papers Magnolia from Costco & colored my images to match while watching t.v. (that's how I relax) then assembly was easy - I went to my scrap stash & voila!
