Bella Cards

I joined in a big bella swap on one of my card groups. I joined 2 groups. I used one older bella (Stamping Bella) that hadn't seen a card yet and one of my newer ones (I cant see a thing a bella). Both cards were based on sketches...really wish I had those notes! I was big on paper piecing the weekend I made these. I think they turned out cute. Sentiment stamps were from Stamping Bella and Studio G. Gotta love those $1 stamps, there are a ton of themes! Paper is all DCWV and I used my prisma pencils to color them.

A few pages...

Here are a few pages I did a few weeks ago. I hosted an online crop on a yahoo group that I belong too. I won back in September so it was my turn to have one. It went extremely well, just sad that I had too many cards to make so I only did 2 of my challenges. I'll do the rest eventually!

I got to dig way deep into my fall stash for the stickers I used on these pages! Pictures are from Kent Falls in Kent, CT. I still have lots of them to scrap! I wish I knew where my darn notes were...I used sketches for them. I'm pretty sure the first one is from Sketches by Tamara, but I don't know the number. Cardstock is Bazzill and patterned paper is from DCWV.

Christmas Cutie

I adore this stamp, its another ebay purchase. This House Mouse is just too, too cute! This was quite the easy card since the base was a pre-printed card - purchased on clearance after last Christmas. CPS Sketch 12 was used.

Stamps: Tumble Wreath (Stampabilities), tree (Studio G)
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: prismacolor pencils, stickles

Birthday cards for my best buds!

Two of my bestest buds turned 30 this month. These are the cards I created for them.

Jen loves pink and monkeys so I just had to incorporate both into a card. And of course it needed some bling! This was based on a sketch but I lost my notes so can't give credit.

Stamps: Changito Birthday (Stampendous)
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine)
Paper: DCWV, Paper Company
Accessories: Crystal Ice Stickles, prismacolor pencils, prima flowers

Glori, whom I've known since I was 12 (for over half my life now!), loves wine and we celebrated her big day at a local wine bar. Winobella was perfect for the occasion! I picked out the paper with this stamp in mind, again I lost the notes so I don't know who made it. She needed some bling to party in so I used my newlyfound Copic Spica pens.

Stamp: Winobella (Stamping Bella)
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine)
Paper: unknown
Accessories: Marvy Extra Giga scallop punch, SU scallop punch, prima flower, brad (joanns)

This is one of my favorite new stamps that I've gotten in the last few months. I won both of them on ebay. I couldn't wait to use him so I could use the coveted Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch. I found mine at a LSS up in Vermont on a weekend getaway.

Happy Election Day!

I was at the polls at 7 am and it took 40 minutes. It seemed like a long time but it was for a very good cause. I urge you all to cast your vote, you can't complain about what happens when you don't take the time to make a choice. I won't ask who you voted for, promise! I also won't tell who I chose, its a personal choice to each individual.

GO VOTE!!
