Trickortreatabella

It pays to go through your craft room once and awhile.  I was searching for a stamped sentiment and came across a Bella swap I participated in about a year ago.  The swap included the stamped image, designer paper, ribbon and bling.  I can't believe I forgot all about it.  Perfect timing to show you this trickortreatabella!

Don't you just love her pumpkin costume with those boots?  I love them but hope she doesn't have to walk all over to fill her bucket up.  Boo Boo fee I say.  

Happy Halloween!!!

More goodies from my Bella Sis

What a bunch of fun goodies!!! She gave me a fixitfella from Stampingbella. This dude will come in so handy as I make cards for my husband & create our "Home Improvement" album. I am waiting on the "after" shots as things are still in progress but hopefully by the end of 2009 I will be able to have them taken & begin on the album. What a sweetie she is.

Christmas Bellas & More

Just a small sampling of the Christmas cards I have been working on. I want to thank everyone for swapping with me. I just love my bellas and the sweet ladies that have provided me with images. My favorite so far is snowbunnybella. She is just the best image. I am hoping to work on more this weekend. I have some High Hopes, Sugar Nellie & Whiff of Joy's to do. Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Bellas & Thanks Mel!!!

I worked on these cute Bellas over the weekend. What do you think? I fund the super cute candy cardstock at my LSS. It was sitting on the counter & I had to get it. I showed them to my husband last night. I just don't think he gets it. He said they were nice but no gushing, no awhhh how cute. I guess I will have to get that from you. I was able to swap some of my bellas with a great bella sistah for these.

I also want to thank my Bella Sistah Mel for the great package I received on Saturday. It was overflowing with great items. I love goodies!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Embellishment Challenge Bella

I made this Bella for my MIL's birthday. Happy Birthday Phyllis!!! I also wanted to include it in the embellishment challenge but I forgot to add ribbon. Oh well...at least I am creating and having a great time. I just love the colors & I really love sharing this with all of you. Thanks for the inspiration & friendship y'all have given me!!!

**My Bella Sistah Rocks Again**

Well after dinner yesterday our doorbell rang. It was the UPS guy walking away & I looked down & saw a package. It was addressed to me but the sender was Stampin! UP. Confused I opened the package. Well it was a punch I had mentioned to my super duper great Bella sis Mel. Upon finding out she was a consultant I had told her I would really like this punch. Well she ordered it for me. I am so excited. I will now be able to make some great cards that you can add a gift card inside of. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a sweetie!!!

Bella for Alzheimer's

Cammie has posted a great opportunity for a great cause. I have made this Bella card for the great staff that help support the patients and their families. The blog candy she has is out of this world. What a great chance. You will see items donated by High Hopes Stamps, Scor-Pal and JustRite Stampers just to name a few. Some very talented people like Cambria Turnbow, Denise Marzee and Jessica Roan have also donated. Check it out & join in.

I Won & My Bellas

I was so shocked that I won this blog candy. Hilmarose picked me & look at the goodies I got. The last time I ever won anything was in high school & I was the correct number caller into the radio station & won a record. WOW is all I can say & thanks Hilmarose!!!

My first Bella order came yesterday!!! I am super stoked & am ready to create some great stuff. I love to get goodies. I am in the middle of altering a box to hold the cards I make & receive and I have a special gift to make for my bella sistah (heee heee) to get done first then I can create some bella cards for y'all to see. Y'all have been great & I appreciate the encouraging comments!!!

My first Bella

This was my first bella creation. I sent this off to my bella sistah Mel & I am hoping she will get her mail before she looks at my blog. She is off visiting New York & didn't want to post this any earlier. I found a great idea on a blog to make an image holder. It has nice accordian sides and a little velcro closure. I added CTMH liquid glass on her dress and the blue of the suitcase. I also added a few bellas images I am hoping she didn't have.

My 1st Bella Posting

Ok....I am very nervous. What do y'all think? I would like honest answers please and any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated (I won't be crushed completely, lol). I altered a composition notebook. I had seen this on the Close To My Heart billboard and created some for my open house this coming Saturday but I wanted one special for me!!! This is my second bella created, the first I am saving until my bella sistah receives it before I post it. I am having a hard time finding the right color for bellas skin. This bella has spent the summer in the sun & has a great tan.

I used CTMH papers, ribbon & the new alphabet ready for coloring or inking. I love them. The markers are from various makers.
