Bellarific Friday Time!

Today's challenge was to make a Festive Christmas Holiday card!!  Which is good as I so need to get on making my cards to get them out soon!  I think I have 10 done, only 60 more to go...I think I might have to cut back this year as I am running out of time.  Make sure you vist Em's blog to see all the other great cards this week!

I love this guy from Stamping Bella but his name doesn't suit him, Confused Christmas Dog.  It should be 'hey, how are ya...Merry Christmas' dog!  Doesn't it look like he is saying that along with his bells and the Salvation Army bucket!  I wonder if only the Canuck's will get that?   

Next week it is sketch time.  Make sure you play along and get your card to Em by Thursday night to be showcased on Bellarific Friday!  Ciao! 

 

Mojo Monday

Hi!  I sure had a crazy, busy weekend.  It didn't feel like I was home at all.  The worst was when my cell phone crapped out on me Saturday morning.  Now I never thought of myself relying on my cell but OMG, I felt like a part of me was missing, it was so weird!  And we had a house guest too and I couldn't reach her to tell her my phone busted as the only place I had her number was in my cell.  Note to self, write numbers down in the future.

Ok, onto the sketch!  I whipped this up in less than an hour, yes me!!!  But I had no choice as I realized I hadn't completed it at 8pm last night!  So out came this cute little polar bear guy from Stamping Bella and the card was done. 

Make sure you head on over and check out the other cards at the Mojo Monday blog, then play along by uploading your card using the keyword MOJO164.   Ciao!

It's a Bellarific Loonie Friday!

Morning!  Friday came fast this week so I found myself having to merge my Loonie & Bellarific cards.  The problem with vacations is you come back to more work I think!  When I saw what Char had picked this week, I sent an email to her and the Loonie's saying 'dollies' are you kidding me!!   I thought they were going to pee their pants...as Homer Simpson would say 'D'OH', doilies!  (I should use spell check more).  I so wished I had a doll somewhere to put in the picture but Joely got rid of those long ago!   Check out what my girls did this week for Char's challenge:

Char  Dee  Jewels  Maria  Regan

The Bellarific challenge this week was 1, 2, 3....1 stamp, 2 pattern papers, 3 embellishments.  I used my cute Mavis for my stamp with 2 different pieces of Cosmo Cricket paper and my embellishments are the doilie (really a coaster but that is all I had) ribbon and button!  I hope it passed the test.  Make sure you head on over to Bloggabella to see all the other great cards this week!   

 
Next weeks Bellarific challenge is to create a Christmas or Holiday card.  Have your entry into Em by next Thursday and you could win some Bella Bucks!!!  Ciao!

Don't you just love this guy!  His name is Theo and he is getting ready for Christmas!   He is a recent addition to the Stamping Bella family. I think he might be trying to 'hook up' with Mavis!  She should consider it, he is cute!  :)

Hola to Bella Babe's and the Loonie's!

As you read this, I am on a plane to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a well deserved week off!  My hubby and I planned it last minute and found an amazing deal.  All inclusive 5 star resort to just lay around and have the pool boy bring me drinks (that is what I am going to call my DH all week!).  I do have a few posts scheduled so you won't even know I am gone!   I merged my Bellarific sketch and my Loonie card today.  The Loonie challenge was to make a card with a vacation in mind and I used this stamp from Stamping Bella, beach hut and ball, to go along with it!   

Make sure you visit my Loonie's to see what they did for my challenge, I hope they wished me off with style!
