Bellarific Friday....on the 13th!

Good Morning!  Happy Friday the 13th! 

It has been a terribly long time since I had played along with the Bellarific Friday Challenges.  I had also gotten a new stash of those Uptown Girls, and they were just begging for ink!

This week, the challenge was a sketch!  Totally my favourite kind of challenge!

I started out by stamping Uptown Girl Posh has a Present, onto SU Whisper White, then colouring her in with copics.   After cutting her out with my circle nestabilities, I traced around the edges with my copic multiliner.

The papers are from the Echo Park Be Mine collection.  The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White and cut out using the Circus Panels Cut Ups from The Cat's Pajamas.

On the inside of the card, I stamped Posh again, and added a Happy Birthday sentiment in Melon Mambo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Bellarific Friday...just on Saturday!

Good morning!

I didn't get my Bellarific Friday card posted yesterday, so here it is today!

This is Charlie, a Green Bean Baby!  Charlie is also a stamp I have had for a LONG time, and he has never seen ink!  So, that means this card works for Jessie's Forgotten Stamp Friday #6!  I am so glad she has started this little challenge...it will definitely help me get to one of my goals this year (it was last year too!), which is to use all stamps that haven't been used or haven't been used in a long time!

Charlie was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored with copics.  I added some Clear Glaze to the pail to make things shiny!

The paper is from my new Echo Park Little Boy collection (LOVE that paper!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

Supplies

Stamps - Charlie (Stamping Bella)

Paper - Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Echo Park Little Boy

Other - Hemp Twine, Button, Brads, Nestabilities, Copics, Clear Glaze Pen

My, oh my, it's Friday!

And that means it is a Bellarific Friday!  This week we had a great sketch to work with!

This is Zoe the Hearty Mug Girl, from the Green Bean Baby Line at Stamping Bella.  I think these girls are just adorable!  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White cardstock and then coloured her in with my copics.  I cut her out with my rectangle nestabilities.  The paper is all from the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely pack.  The sentiment is popped up using a tip (Susie Q-Tip) from Susan Liles, thanks Susan!  That's about it!  A pretty simple card, but I like the look!

Have a great Friday!

And it's already Friday

Man, these days are flying by way too fast.....

The good thing though is it's Bellarific Friday! This week the challenge was a sketch.....here's what I came up with!

I used some new rubbah for this one, Alice, another great creation of Christy Croll's for Stamping Bella. She was stamped onto Choice Buttercream paper, then coloured with copics. I did paper piece the enormous mug! I would definitely LOVE a mug that big in my house, with my name on it so no one else would use it!

The papers for the card are from my June Key Ingredients kit, by Taylored Expressions. To finish off the card I did a little stitching with my sewing machine.

There you have it! Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps - Alice (Stamping Bella), Paper - Crumb Cake, Choice Snow White, Hillary, October Afternoon Fly A Kite; Other - Sewing Machine, Nestabilities, Copics

A Little Bit of Amplee 'tude

This week's Bellarific Friday challenge was this sketch....designed by Linda Heavens. I never used to make square cards, but have started to recently, and now I think I make more square than A2!!

Here's what I came up with!
This is Amplee 'tude and I absolutely LOVE her hair...if only mine could look like that!

I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black, then coloured her in with my copics. All the shading was done with copics also.

The paper I used is Pixie-Licious, one of the new Cosmo Cricket releases.

Hope everyone has a great Friday, and a great weekend!

Stamps - Amplee 'tude (Stamping Bella); Paper - Choice Snow White, Tangerine Tango, Kraft, Cosmo Cricket Picie-Licious; Other - Nestabilities, Ribbon, Martha Stewart Border Punch

Just in the nick of time...

With a little luck, da Queen Bella herself is running a little late getting the Bellarific Friday cards posted, and she said we could still submit. I had all intentions of getting mine finished lastnight, but alas, another night, another task not accomplished!

I did manage to get it finished tonight!

The theme this week for Bellarific Friday was "Back to School". I am not sure how many kids skipped and jumped, but these little cuties made me think of little kids playing at recess! (I don't know if it is even called recess anymore!).

These little cuties are Jumping for Joy, a Tiddly Inks image designed by Christy Croll. I used my brand new pack of Pixie-Licious paper and the sketch for the card is Tracy's Sketchy Thursday. I kept the embellishment to null....mostly because I thought the image looked so cute, I didn't want anything to take away from it!

Hope you all have a great weekend! I'll be watching FOOTBALL all day Sunday!

Supplies -
Stamps - Jumping for Joy (Stamping Bella); Paper - Kraft, Rich Razzleberry, Cosmo Cricket Pixie-Licious; Other - Nestabilities, Copics

I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured her in with my copics. All the supplies used on the card are from the Summertime Project Pantry Kit from Taylored Expressions. These kits are sooooo perfect! They have everything you need!

Good Friday morning! This week has gone by so fast! I can't believe the weekend is almost here!

Down to business....with Friday comes Bellarific Friday!

This week's theme was May flowers. I didn't have my Mother's Day cards finished, so I brought out Lulu's Pot of Orchids for this card. The sketch is SCS278. As per the usual, the image was stamped onto Choice Snow White with Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured with my copics. The paper is Raspberry Tart from Stampin' Up.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be out getting our acres of grass cut and weeding flower beds.

Bellarific Friday!

Well, it's Friday....and a Bellarific one!

The challenge this week was to use a stamp that hasn't seen ink yet. One of my goals for 2010 was to use all of the stamps I have at least once, making this challenge a great help! I do have a few uninked stamps, but my choice was Chloe the Teacup girl.

Have a great weekend!

Supplies
Stamps - Chloe the Teacup Girl (Stamping Bella)
Paper - Kiwi Kiss, Choice Snow White, Pretty in Pink, Raspberry Tart DP
