Bella Sketch Challenge #67

Hey there! Well I've finally had the chance to ink up my Daisy Bittybloom from Stamping Bella...yay me!!! :D I just loved these when I first saw them...they are just so super cute! :D Gerber Daisies are my absolute favorite flower so I just knew I had to have this stamp as soon as I saw it! :D I placed another order with Stamping Bella yesterday since she was offering free shipping! I just couldn't pass up the chance to get some more of those adorable Huggabugs...I'm thinking they're gonna be my newest obsession! LOL!!! :D

I decided to take a break from my most recent obsession {Basic Grey Bittersweet} and use some new paper by Making Memories called Chloe's Closet. It's just the cutest paper pack ever and it just makes everything so fun and cheery! :D I stamped Daisy Bittybloom with Brilliance Graphite Black Ink and colored her with my Copics and CTMH Markers. I outlined her with my Clear Copic Spica Glitter Pen...but you can't see all that shimmer in the photo...it really came out cute! I decided to continue with my other obsession as of late which is sewing everything in site! So I sewed each panel I made except for the border of hearts! :D I added a few Colonial White Brads and some Primas and called it done. I didn't add a sentiment because I'm not sure what it should be! Anyone have any suggestions...I would love to hear them?!?!?!

Well that's it for me today! Hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday! :D ~ Jenn

Topiarybella Valentine...

Hey there...Happy Monday to you all!!! :) Wow...my weekend was crazy and I am super sore from going to Boot Camp on Saturday. I don't think...well I know that I have never worked out that hard before. After the torture was all done, I came home, took a shower and was pretty useless after that...LOL!!! So I didn't get to work on any cards till yesterday and this was one of them. I just recently got my Bittersweet papers from Basic Grey and decided to pair it Topiarybella that I just ordered. This card took me way too long to complete. My sewing machine was giving me fits yesterday, but once I got it fixed I was able to stitch on my card and so love the outcome!

I stamped Topiarybella with Memento Tuxedo Black twice, once onto White Daisy CS and again onto my Bittersweet dp and then colored her with my CTMH markers and Copics. I also added some shimmer with my Clear Copic Spica Glitter Pen to her little heart bag, headband and the hearts on the tree...it looks so sparkly IRL. I cut her out using my Oval Nesties and pop-dotted her onto my card base. I then added a few Primas with buttons and called it done! :D I'm not sure what sentiment I will use for this card so I just decided to leave it off for now. Well that's it's for me today, hope everyone has a Fabulous Monday! ~ Jenn

This was a fantastic sketch and once I figured out what Bella to use it was easy as pie! :D I love Cupcakeabella...she runs a close second next to Lattebella. I decided to use for the first time some Perfect Day dp from CTMH. I don't have the full paper pack, so I just used the little 6x6 sample sheets that I had. At first I was unsure if I even liked the paper, but after using it I think I might just get some!!! LOL!!! :D

Are you tired yet...

Of all my Bella cards?!?! Well I have a couple more to show you tonight and I hope to finish the rest before Sparkle decides to draw a name...YIKES!!! :D This card is for Bella & Sketch Challenge #44. Sparkle chose the colors Clover Meadow, Star Spangled Blue, Sunflower & Holiday Red. Before I even looked at the sketch, I had colored all of Superbella and was so crushed that I had to punch her out! Oh well, next time I'll just have to pay more attention.

Stamps: Superbella (Stamping Bella) & Say It in Style (CTMH) Paper: Clover Meadow, Star Spangled Blue, Sunflower, Holiday Red & White Daisy CS (CTMH) Ink: CTMH Markers & Brilliance Graphite Black Ink Accents: White Daisy Bigger Brads (CTMH), CB Houndstooth, Cirlce Nesties, Mat Pack & Piercer, Ghost Stars (Heidi Swapp) & Pop Dots

I colored Superbella with my copics and punched her out using my nesties. I also punched out two more circles in Sunflower CS and embossed them. I added some ghost stars to my Sunflower circles attaching them with White Daisy Bigger Brads. On the Star Spangled Blue CS I embossed it with the Houndstooth CB folder...I really love this folder! :D I then attached the blue panels with White Daisy Bigger Brads and pop dotted my circles on top....easy peasy! :D

My next card is for Bella Color & Sketch Challenge #45. Sparkle choses the colors Twilight, Cranberry, Crystal Blue & Grey Wool. I really, really loved these colors!!! :D I decided to use Lattebella for this one. These colors seemed so perfect for the Holiday season, they just make me want to snuggle up with some hot chocolate! :D It's a pretty basic sketch, I did a little embossing using the Textile Texture CB folder and layering a piece of polka dot dp on it. Did some piercing and added some silver brads. I colored bella with my copics and used my rectangle nesties for the Silver Shimmery paper, and then tied some white twill around it and I was done! :D I didn't know what sentiment to use so I left it off, I'm sure I will find something perfect for it later! :D

Bella Color & Sketch Challenge #43

Hey there! I have another Bella challenge to show you tonight! For this color challenge Sparkle chose the colors Desert Sand, Black, Petal & Smokey Plum. I really wasn't sure what to do with these colors, but I figured it out and I really like the results.

Stamps: Daisybella (Stamping Bella) & Say It in Style (CTMH) Paper: Enchanted Dp (CTMH) & Desert Sand, Black, Petal & White Daisy CS (CTMH) Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black & Copics Accents: Mat Pack & Piercer, Black Pearls (Kaiser), Corner Rounder, Black Gingham Ribbon (Ribbon FX) & Pop Dots

I inked up Daisybella for this challenge with Brilliance Graphite Black stamped her onto White Daisy CS. I colored her with my copics and layered her on a piece of Petal CS. I then paper pieced around my image and added black pearls to each corner and center of the flower. Next I worked on my base which is a standard piece of Desert Sand CS. I then cut out a piece of Black CS and used my corner rounder to make scallops and used my piercer to make holes in the scallops. Next I layered a piece of Enchanted dp onto my Black CS and I also tied some Black Gingham ribbon around it before I taped it to my base. The final touch was to pop dot my image to my base and then I added a 1/2" circle underneath the top left hand corner of my image. I pierced around my cirlce, but you just can't see it in the pic.

Well I'm off to finish more challenges!!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great night!!! :D

First is Bella Color and Sketch Challenge #23. Sparkle chose the colors Clover Meadow, Hevenly Blue & Star Spangled Blue. My card is pretty basic, not much going on since it's a guy card and I didn't want it to be too froo-froo! :D I used my new Houndstooth CB folder for this card and I really, really like it! :D

Well that's it for right now! I hope to be back with more challenges, so stay tuned!!! :D

Have a Great day!!!:D

Suprise!!!...and I'm feeling a little nervous!!!

Good Morning!!! :D I hope everyone had a fantastic evening last night. My hubby and I went to the Star Cinema Grill and watched Tropic Thunder. The food was good and the movie was good, but I guess I didn't think the movie was as hilarious as my husband thought...LOL!!! :D I'm not saying it was bad because there were definitely some funny parts, I just didn't think it was all that funny! :D

Stamps: I-can't-see-a-thing-abella & Surprise!!! (Stamping Bella) Paper: Whoops-A-Daisy dp & Watermelon, Hydrange, Ocean, Buttercup & White Daisy CS (CTMH) Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black & Copics Accents: Silver Brads, Twill Ribbon (Taylored Expressions), CB & Swiss Dots & Pop Dots

Anywho, today I'm gonna show you a card I made over the weekend using another one of my newest Bellas. She's called I-can't-see-a-thing-abella and I just think she's so fun!!! :D I hadn't used my Whoops-A-Daisy paper in awhile so I paired her with that. I just really love these colors together!!! :D I stamped Bella with Brilliance Graphite Black ink onto White Daisy CS and colored her with my copics. I then layered her onto a piece of Hydrangea & Ocean CS. I then added some silver brads to each corner and a piece of twill ribbon to the side and worked on my base. My base is a 5" x 10" piece of Watermelon CS folded in half. I then layered that with a smaller piece of Hydrangea CS and then a smaller piece of Buttercup CS that I ran through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots Folder. I then added a piece of Whoops-A-Daisy dp to one side of the Buttercup CS. I added silver brads to each corner again and pop dotted my image onto my base. The sentiment was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black onto White Daisy CS and layered with a piece of Watermelon CS. I then added again two more silver brads and called it done!!! :D

Well I guess now onto why I am soooo nervous today! Today I am scheduled to have a D&C done and they have to put me to sleep! :( About five months ago I had a similar procedure done and they put me to sleep and I was fine, but I just hate the fact of having to be put to sleep. I also hate waking up and not knowing what the heck has gone on while you were past out, KWIM?!?! Well that's why I'm so nervous today, but the procedure should only take about 30mins. so I should be home by 12:30 to have the rest of the weekend to rest!!! :D Well hope everyone has a sunshiney day and thanks for stopping by!!! :D

I wish I didn't...

Have to go back to work today!!! :( I so enjoyed having the extra day off, it gave me a chance to catch up on some stamping!!! I'm sure my poor stamps have been feeling pretty neglected lately. It seems like forever since I had stamped and especially with a Bella!!! LOL!!! :D

Well I know you came here to see something I created, not to hear me whine about having to go back to work! :D For this cutesy card I used my new stamp Daisybella. I had gotten her for my birthday about a month ago and this is the first time she's been inked! I love these colors with her. I stamped her in Brilliance Graphite Black Ink and colored her with my copics and layered her on a piece of Hydrangea CS. I then worked on my base, making it a standard card size using Hydrangea CS as my base. I actually picked the dp before I colored my bella and drew my colors from it. The dp is by Glitz and I just love it, it's so funky and fun! :D

Stamps: Daisybella (Stamping Bella) & Say It In Style (CTMH) Paper: Hydrangea, White Daisy & Sunflower CS (CTMH) & Glitz dp Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black & Copics Accents: White Daisy Bigger Brads (CTMH), Corner Rounder & Hole Punch

Good evening, almost early Saturday morning! Sorry it's been a while since I posted something new, but I definitely have something cute and new today!

I knew I wanted to use this color combo and my Creative Cafe papers from CTMH when I saw this image...she's so cute!!! :D My card is a standard piece of Chocolate CS that I ran through my CB using the Spots and Dots folder. I cut a strip of Creative Cafe dp and layered it onto a piece of Blush CS and taped it down the middle of my base. I then colored my image with my copic markers and layered Fabby onto some Baby Pink, Chocolate & Sweet Leaf CS. I then added a silver brad to each corner and one prima flower on the top left corner. Super cute card, eh?!?! Well that's it for tonight folks. I made another card tonight, but I can't get a great pic, the colors are off . I have a unit meeting tomorrow so I better get to bed now!!!

Thank You...

Hey there...how's your weekend been so far?!?! Mine has been pretty busy. Yesterday I went with my husband to Bass Pro which wasn't all that bad and we weren't there forever like I thought we would be. Then my sister asked me to go to Bay City with her. Her friend was having a scrapbooking get together and she wanted to us to go. So we left at 2pm, got there at 4pm, stayed till 1030pm and got home to Houston at 1230am. So needless to say I am super tired!!! I didn't get as much done as I thought I would, but I did make this one card while I was there.

I stamped Lattebella with Brilliance Graphite Black onto White Daisy CS and colored her with my copics. I then matted her on a piece of Bazzil Bling Tiara CS and then pierced the side, then added a pink prima and black brad. My base is pretty simple, but don't ask me the size of it because I just cut it down till I thought it looked ok. Then I added a strip of polka dot paper from the Silhouette paper pack and pop dotted my image on top!!! Here is also a sneak peak of CTMH's December SOTM called Heart Throb that I stamped in the bottom right hand corner. I love it, it's super cute and has kind of a whimsical feel to me!!! :D Well that's it, I am off to finish some laundry, watch some Olympics (I like the swimming) and then watch Big Brother!!! :D Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of your weekend!!! :D

Really not my kind of store, but I just hope we're not there too long...LOL!!! :D

Anywho...I wanted to share with you a few cards that I was able to create last night. I just love the color combos that I used so funky and fresh...LOL! On my first card I used the colors Hydrangea, Ocean, & Cranberry. I love this Funky Clothesline stamp from Stamping Bella...so cute!!! :D Same simple LO I have been using for a while now...I so need to change it up a bit, but I think it's cute!!! :D

Now for my second card I used the colors Pink Carnation, Sunny Yellow, Orange & Topiary...such a fun and bright color combo!!! :D I colored Billboardabella with my copics and matted her onto a piece of Topiary TCS that I cut with my Rectangle Nestabilities. I then added a silver brad to each corner and then pop dotted her onto a piece of Orange CS that I ran through my CB using the Swiss Dots folder. I then pop dotted the image onto my Pink Carnation Base. I also used some fun ribbon that I got from my Bella Sistah Kim...it went so perfect with this card!!! :D

Bella Color Challenge #40...

Happy Friday!!! Well I had some free time last night so I decided to work on the Bella color challenge. Sparkle chose the colors Black, Autumn Terracotta, Heavenly Blue & Kiwi. I only looked at the color challenge once and thought that Breeze was in there, but it wasn't and I only realized that once the card was already made. But I didn't have Heavenly Blue or Kiwi anyway so I used Breeze and Citrus Leaf instead...hope that's ok!!! :D I used one of my newest stamps that has yet to see ink...I-Wish-I-Looked-So-Good-On- A-Bike-Abella (whew...that was long). I think she is just super cute and thought should would looked great in these colors.

I colored my bella with my copics and added some sparkle to her with my Copic Spica Glitter Pen. I then used my mat pack to pierce around the whole image and layered her on a piece of Citrus Leaf CS. I did color her bike and little White Daisy flower with my blender pen and Kiwi ink pad. I then added some black pearls and a blue prima and white daisy flower with a black brad. Next I went to work on my base which is pretty simple. It a 5" x 10" piece of Bazzil Bling Black Tie CS folded in half. I just love the shimmer this CS gives...so sparkly!!! :D Then I added a strip of Breeze CS and Autumn Terracotta that I ran through my CB using the Bloomin Dots folder and placed it in the center of the card. Layered my image on top with some foam circles and tada!!!! Well I hope everyone has a Rockin Friday!!! :D Can't wait till the work day is over so I can come home and stamp!!! :D LOL!!! :D

This will be the second time that we've had to do this, the first time was when they thought Rita was gonna hit us and she went another way.

I couldn't wait to use my new stamp that I got from Hope's Blog Candy...this teacup daisies stamp is just too cute! :D I colored the flowers and leaves using my Copics and I colored the teacups using my blender pen and Crystal Blue ink pad. I then outlined the image with my Cool Gray Copic marker and traced the daisies with my Copic Spica glitter pen to add some shimmer.

Bella Sketch Challenge #36...

Hey there! I finally had a chance to complete the Bella Sketch Challenge over the weekend. I flipped my sketch on the side and I guess I actually didn't follow the sketch too well since I didn't place my sentiment on the side. But I didn't have any room for it so I just stamped it on my image...hope that's OK! :D I just love this Funky Clothesline stamp from Stamping Bella, and will you look at that bright colored lingerie, its so funky!!! {LOL!!!}

I stamped my image using Brilliance Graphite Black ink onto White Daisy CS. I colored it with my copics and then matted it onto some Sweet Leaf and Petal Textured CS. I then put it aside to work on my base. I got this new paper from Basic Grey called Euphoria. I wasn't too sure about it when I picked it up, but I do love it now! :D My base is Petal TCS and then I layered a piece of Sweet Leaf TCS and then my dp on top of that! I then used my Circle Scalloped Punch to make my circle image in the corner out of Crystal Blue TCS. After I pop dotted my image on my card I felt like it needed something else, so I added some pink pearls to each corner of my image, I think it adds a nice touch! Thanks for stopping by today and stay tuned for Marjorie's Color Challenge!!! :D

Bella Color Challenge #36...

Hey there! Just got back from church and lunch and thought I would post a quick card I did for the Bella Color Challenge this week. Sparkle chose the colors Sweet Leaf, Ocean, Holiday Red and Desert Sand. When I saw the colors I was like, " Desert Sand"?!?! I don't think I have ever used that color before, but I think I made it work!!! I might have to start using it more often as it is slowly starting to grow on me!!! :D

I used Desert Sand for my base and RS flowers from the Rustic Flowers stamp set also in Desert Sand. I then colored Cakeabella using my Copics & Ocean Ink Pad and Blender Pen. I matted her on a piece of Holiday Red CS and pop dotted her onto my base. I also got to use more of that American Crafts Ribbon I had on on this card as well and the sentiment is from the Cupcake A'La Yummy set from Unity stamps. Well I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I am off to do some laundry and more stamping!!! :D Thanks for stopping by! :D
