I'm just sittin' out here watchin' airplanes take off and fly...trying to figure out which one you might be on...

Happy Friday, sistahs! I'm back with another post today...it's time for Bellariffic Friday! This week we had a sketch by the fabulous Ebrubella. Check it out!


This one was fun! I used the cute little Matilda on her Swing for my card this week.


She was stamped on Bella's Bestest Paper and colored with Copics. The kraft layer behind her was spritzed with the coolest stuff...SEI's Tumble Dye Spray. Here's a closer look:


I added the sentiment (which also comes with the Matilda stamp) and a couple of die cut clouds to finish it off.

Thanks so much for visiting me today! I hope you can play along to next week's challenge, which is:

My grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary was a few days ago, and we' are going up to Joplin for a little family shindig, so I knew I needed a card! I pulled out Love Story and the Lovely Marquee Die, and I chose the little background from Grateful Elegance to stamp on the blue. Everything was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed.


I added a doily and some text from a vintage dictionary, along with my linen thread and lace. The finishing touch was some glitter around the frame. I really hope they like it!

February 2012 Verve Diva Inspirations Hop

Hey y'all! Welcome to the February Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! The fabulous Diva Inspirations team is here to start your month off right with a little Verve inspiration! If you're here from Lynda's blog, you're on the right track! If you just happened upon my blog, you'll want to start at the Verve Blog to catch all the fabulous eye candy!

I'm still under the weather, so this will be short and sweet. Here's today's card, using Jeremiah 33:3 Plain Jane from Verve. 


I stamped the fabulous scripture in Stazon on a piece of canvas from Canvas Corp. I scribbled on the edges of the canvas with a blue Gelato from Faber Castell, then did a running stitch around the edges with Mandarin twine. The little heart embellishments were created with the From The Heart Die Set. Here's a closer look:


Now that you've endured my blabbering, it's time to visit SONY! Don't forget to leave a little comment love for each of the divas participating in the hop for a chance to win some Vervey goodness of your very own. Have a fabulous day!

So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways, all my underdogs...

Happy Friday, sistahs!! I'm so sorry it has been a while since I posted...we have had lots of health issues come up, but we are on the mend! Thanks for all the well-wishes and prayers. So now....it's Bellariffic Friday, and this week we have a Sketch for you, by the super talented Ebrubella:


Here's my card using Izzie has a BIRFday cake:


I loveeee this image...she is stamped in Memento Black on Bella's Bestest Paper, then colored with Copic Markers. I added a little Glamour Dust, Ice Stickles, and Liquid Applique. The paper is from the Basic Grey Kissing Booth 6x6 Pad. Love it! Here's a closeup:


Now....since I was unable to last week, I decided I would post my card using my favorite Bella image. Good Gravy, I can't tell you how hard it was to pick one!! I finally settled on Stella with an Olive on Top...shhhhh!! Don't tell the others. Here's my card:


Again, she was stamped in Memento ink onto Bella's Bestest paper and colored with Copic markers. Here's a closer look:


I fancied her up with Glamour Dust Glitter and Glossy Accents on the glass, olive, and her lips. I can't tell you how much I love coloring this image!!! The finishing touch was some flowers and the Here's to You sentiment.

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