Eloise

I just placed my $75 order with Stamping Bella. She is offering free shipping for orders $45 or more. The last time she had this promo I passed it up. I think it was the guilt. BUT, since I was paid for hosting a class for my friend, I have a little stamping money to play with. :o) I think I ordered so much since Em said that the free shipping offer won't come around again for a while. There were just a few that really enticed me. Anyway...here's a card with Eloise. She's so adorable. I made this for a bling contest, but I took about 10 pics and can't get the sparkle in her skirt and wings to show up, oh well. Please feel free to leave a comment. I'm new to this blogging and posting, so any thoughts, good and bad, are always welcomed. Have a great day!

RAKed!! Woot!

I am so very excited. I got not one but TWO beautiful RAK cards. A BIG thanks to Pam Gaynor for the awesome Bikeabella card. I love this card. I commented on it when she posted it and I can't believe I got it! Thanks for the website tip about the cuttlebug folders too, Pam. I checked it out and have my eye on a bunch.

A BIG thanks to Dannette Ruger for the awesome Huggybella card. I love the color combo. Everything just pops!

Thanks so much to you both for making my day. I was so excited to get them and they will be placed on my craft wall.

Penguins in the Summer

I made this for my nephew's birthday. He turned 4 years old today and loves penguins. I was able to snap a pic of him looking on as his cousin helped him open the envelope. I'm so glad he liked it. I think the stamp (by Imaginice) is absolutely adorable. I can't wait to use him again real soon.

Father's Day and more...

Here are some Fella (Stamping Bella) Father's Day cards I made for friends and family. I'd like to say a special 'THANKS' to Debby Tillman who sent me a whole bunch of Fellas about 2 months ago. I was so excited to use them. THANKS Debby! 

The 'shirt' cards was an idea I found on 

Kim Doktor's

blog. Kim provided the link to the blog with directions to make the shirt. It looks complicated but was so easy.

This last pic was a card and altered item I made for my boss. He LOVES soccer. The card is a slider, and the bottom is a pediasure bottle filled with chocolates.

First post

Hello everyone!! I've been working on getting myself together to create a craft blog for a week or so now. Father's Day kept me busy since we hosted and there were many cards to be made. BUT, it gave me the chance to take pics of the cards for posting. 

I'd love to include a thank you in my very first post to my Bella Sistah Kim Doktor. She sent me an awesome package yesterday. Please see the pic for all of the goodies that include flowers, stamps, images, candies filled in those adorable bottles, a beautiful card and so on. THANKS KIM. I love this whole concept of having a Bella Sistah especially since I don't have a real sister.
