The Bella Love Fest Continues!!

I've been a busy girl today...I may need a drink after today!! I've made 3 cards, and I have the 4th one in the works. Will I make it to 5??? Who knows!! Meredith and I have been busy in the craft room, and she had colored 3 images so far to use, and she made an adorable card that I will post tomorrow!

Danni came up with the idea to use our Bellas this weekend (and she hinted about Magnolias next weekend), and we've been taking her seriously!

Join in on the fun...great way to use some neglected stamps and supplies! I've had this martini charm for I don't know how long, and I finally got to use it!! Yippee!!

The above card is another Bella stamp that I borrowed from my friend Angie. I called her this morning with a crafting emergency (yes, they do exist). For the Paper Sundaes challenge, you needed lace. Well, let me tell you...for a girl who makes cards, scrapbooks, and quilts...I didn't have any lace in this house. None. Nada. Zilch. Until I remembered this paper lace that came with a K&Company paper line. Saved. And, Angie actually had lace if I needed it!

Second Post for today...Danni's Bella Weekend Challenge

Danni inspired a few of us to use our Bella stamps this weekend! I have to admit that they have been collecting dust lately, but I picked up this little cutie when I was at my LSS last week, and I had to play with her and the new Sugar Rush paper from Basic Grey! She is adorable, and I forgot how quickly the coloring goes!! Hehe!! When I saw that Danni also did this sketch, I thought, wow, that's an awesome sketch from CCEE Stampers!!

Again, I used some challenges, and some are my second entry for them!

All Bummed Out!

This adorable little stamp finally found some ink today! In true fashion, I waited until the last minute to make these cards for a baby shower that I attended today. Three friends are all having their second babies soon, so we threw them a big baby shower. It was fun...we had brunch at a local restaurant, and the chatting and laughing did us all good! Heather knows that she is having a boy, but Katie and Liz each have decided to make it a surprise. So, technically, I made three cards, but two were the same.

This is a stamp from Stamping Bella, and the sentiment that goes with it is "Bummed Out?" It is so adorable, but the sentiment was definitely not appropriate for a baby shower card, so I paired it with this one from the set Riveting by Stampin' Up. I just giggle each time I see his or her little cheek hanging out!!
