Daisy, give yourself away...look up at the rain, the beautiful display...

Happy Friday, y'all! I have some fun news for you today! A while back, Julie Smith was sweet enough to email me and ask if I would like to be the guest designer for Paper and Such. I love the products she carries, and her stamps are fabulous, so I was thrilled to say yes!


So today is a new release for the Paper and Such line of stamps. I chose Upsy Daisy for my card today...such a beautiful daisy image! Here's what I came up with:


I colored the flowers to coordinate with this yummy ribbon Julie sent me, and then cut it with the Curved Rectangles Nestabilities. The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie 6x6 Pad. Here's a closeup:


I hope you enjoyed my card...I know I had a blast creating with these fabulous stamps! Now it's time to go visit Julie's Blog...she has something adorable for you!! Have a wonderful Friday!

Well, I love her, and I love to fish...I spend all day out on this lake...

Hiya Sistahs! Long time no speak, I know...I have had a lot going on in my life, and I have missed y'all! But I am back now and kicking March off with bright, sunny card made with a new Stamping Bella image called Ramona Fishing. Check it out:


Isn't she CUTE?? I am in loveee with her and her hoodie...and her little heart...so adorable. She was stamped in Memento Black on Bella's Bestest Paper, of course, and colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is also included with the stamp, and it is embossed in white on the kraft strip. Here's a closeup:


I actually used the smallest die in the Grand Labels One set from Spellbinders to cut this image...I thought she looked cute flush to the edge of the card, don't you? To finish it off, I added some Ice Stickles and some Orchid Twine from The Twinery.

Well, that's it for me...thanks for stopping by today, and stay tuned for tomorrow's Bellariffic Friday post. Have a fabulous Thursday!

Here we go again...I kinda wanna be more than friends...So take it easy on me...

Happy Friday, sistahs! It's Bellariffic Friday here again, and this week was a sketch challenge!


A fun one for sure!! I have been missing my Kettos, so I pulled out little Missmatch Ketto, and watercolored her for this week:


Isn't she so adorable?? I have an outfit *just* like that. (hee)
She was stamped in Black Stazon on watercolor paper, then colored with various dye inks. I love the way the wash of yellow around her turned out, if I do say so myself. I cut and embossed the image with the Curved Rectangle Nestabilities and sponged around the edges. Of course I had to add some Diamond Stickles...you can't color a girl with a pink tiara and NOT add glitter. Seriously.


I found a couple of scraps of paper (from Crystal Wilkerson and October Afternoon) that coordinated perfectly, and then added a big pink bow around the card base. This was such a fun layout...it's definitely going to be one I use again!

Well, that's about all from me today...I hope you can play along to next week's challenge, which is:

Here's my card, using Cherry Blossom Bittybloom:

Isn't she precious?? I stamped her in Memento Black onto Bella's Bestest Paper, then colored her with Copics. I added a felt heart where her cherries were, then added some red lace and twine for a loopy bow. The paper behind her is Echo Park Yours Truly...love that paper. Here's a closeup:

Happy Sunday, sistahs! I had this post scheduled for Wednesday but something happened and it didn't post. Yikes! I used an for You to Try for this card...here ya go:



And here's my card, using an old fave, Goodluckabella...



I also used the large Dark Cocoa Glitter Dots...love adding these to cards because there are no lumpy backs to worry about. Here's a closer look:



Short and sweet for me today...Have a fabulous day!

It's not over tonight...just give me one more chance to make it right...

Happy Tuesday, y'all! It's time for another Skipping Stones Design Sketch...this one was so much fun!


Here's the card I created, using Pumpkin Seed Sentiments and Bras Volume 1:


I stamped three different patterns in coral and black onto white cardstock, then cut out the circles with Nestabilities. Since the patterns were bold, I kept the background clean. I wish I could have run the white panel through and embossing folder but my Cuttlebug bit the dust recently while trying to cut something too thick. *frown*

Here's a closeup:


I stamped the bra in coral ink, and then added some black detail with a Copic Multiliner.
