Bellarific Friday 3/26/10

This week was a sketch challenge for Bellarific Friday. I used Gossipabella from Stamping Bella. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey. I put my Nestabilities to work on this one too. I used Labels 10 and Scalloped Circles. Be sure to check out the rest of the cards on Blogabella and post a comment there to have a chance some Bella Bucks.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Five Card Thursday

Sounds like a card game...no pun intended. Well I managed to carve out some time before and after dinner to get some cards done. My first card is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I used Flower Girl from My Favorite Thing's Pure Innocence line. She is just so sweet. The design paper is from Basic Grey.

The next one is for MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club. The challenge this week was threefold. Part one was Glitzy Glitter, part two was hand cut grass, and part three was to follow Kim's card design. I used the set Hangin' with my Peeps for this card. The design paper is also by MFT. The grass and the flower are both made of glitter paper from Target.

This one is the Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I used Weightwatchabella. The design paper is Die Cuts with a View's Glitter Stack. I made this card to encourage a friend who is dieting.

This card is for both the Riley and Company challenge this week which was to use pastel colors and this week's sketch challenge on Splitcoast. This card also uses DCWV's Glitter Stack.

The last card is for my husband. He is my computer guy. This image is Noah the Computer Guy from Stamping Bella. I paired it with MFT's Mr. Roboto digi paper. The sentiment is also from MFT.

That's it for tonight. Check back tomorrow for Bellarific Friday.

Rainy Day Monday

It was such a busy weekend around here that I did not have a chance to upload any of the cards I did on Saturday. Today was a rainy day and I managed to add a couple to what I did on Saturday.

The first one is actually today's Mojo Monday challenge. I used Summer Fun from Stamping Bella's Turtle Tots line. Don't they make you long for summer? I went for some bright summer colors on this.

This one is for two challenges. I used the sketch from CPS to complete Sparkle's Christmas card challenge. The stamp set is from Stampin' Up and for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.

This next one is for two challenges also. I used the Elzybell's sketch to go with the Crazy 4 Challenges theme of spring. I never seem to have enough Easter cards, so I figured I would do another to go along with some of the others I did this year.

Being a mom of boys, it is always good to have boy cards lying around. This card uses the TESC sketch from Friday. I used Birthday Boy from Stamping Bella. The paper is a mix of papers from Basic Grey.

The last card uses the Viva La Verve sketch for last week. I used the cupcakes from Bakery Business by Taylored Expressions. The hearts were made with Memory Maker's Tag Maker.

This is a busy week, so hopefully I will find some time to play again before Friday. Hope the rainy day brings you rainbows!

Bellarific Friday 3/19/10

It is a monochromatic Bellarific Friday. I chose this great paper from DCWV's Glitter Stack. I am usually more of a color person, but when I saw the black and white paper in this pack, I fell in love. I paired it with some scraps of this great glitter paper from Target. The stamp is an oldie called Frizzybella from Stamping Bella. When in doubt, always pull out a Bella. Don't you just love her boots!

Well that's it for now. Happy Friday!

A Night Alone

With my hubby and boys out at Awana last night, I got a chance to spend some uninterrupted time in my stamp room. My first card is this week's sketch from Mercy. I used Sunshiny Day from MFT's Pure Innocence collection. The paper is also from MFT's Spring Paper Pack. Keeping the MFT theme going, I used their Adornment iridescent flowers.

My second card uses Ice Cream Riley from Riley and Company. I was inspired by all of the Riley sneak peeks going on this week from the Riley and Company release last night. I pulled out a long neglected stamp and my Doodlebug Designs paper and got to work. This card makes me long for summer.

Hope you have blue skies and warm weather where you are. I am off to enjoy the sun!

Monday Ramblings

Wow! What a crazy Sunday. As we were on our way home from church, the car suddenly started spinning. Considering we were on a major highway, we did not hit anyone and no one hit us, but we did spin into a tree. Everyone is safe, but the car is seriously messed up. So needless to say, I was too stressed to do anything yesterday. After dealing with the insurance and the body shop this morning, I managed to go down and stamp a bit this afternoon.

I went for a non-traditional Christmas card for Sparkle's Christmas card challenge this week. This week was a sketch challenge. I used Halobella from Stamping Bella. The sentiment inside says "Let the heavens sing, it's Christmas" from Close to my Heart's Christmas Heaven set. The paper is from Basic Grey. The dots are the reverse side of the snowflake paper.

This card uses the CPS challenge from this week. I used Warm Wishes from High Hopes as my main image. Isn't he cute? This week's challenge on the High Hopes blog was Flutterby, basically anything that flies or has wings. The dragon wings and flames are jazzed up with Stickles.

My last card today is a sympathy card. I used paper from Close to my Heart called Veranda. The stamp set is Notes of Prayer by Verve Stamps. I used the Mojo 130 sketch as well.

That's it for me today. Have a safe night.
