Wanna chat?

Hello!  Back again today for Bellarific Friday and this week the theme was "fall colours".  Here is my Bellarific Babe card...

This is Lulu's Morning Fix - I think we can all relate to this!  I matched her up with BasicGrey papers and some Echo Park letter stickers.

Next week's theme is this sketch...

Get your creations to Em by next Thursday and pop by to get all the deets and check out the rest of the Babes' creations!

 

Hey there little guy

I'm back again today with my Bellarific Friday DT post and this week we had a sketch to follow.  Here's my take on it...

I used the very sweet Arthur from the set of 2 Arthur and Annie.  I used a Paper Smooches sentiment and my Sizzix checked embossing folder.

Check out the rest of the DT's inspiration using this sketch over at the blog here.  Next week's Bellarific Friday theme is fall colours so don't forget to get your makes to Em by next Thursday!

I need some sunshine!

Me again!  This is my Bellarific Babe DT card which uses the very sweet Sunshiney Flynn...

Unfortunately there's no sunshine here in the South East of England :( but at least it's warm for this time of the year.  This little girl always puts a smile on my face and she's putting me in the mood for our trip to Australia in December!  We are spending nearly 4 weeks driving from Sydney to Brisbane and we booked our accommodation last night in the towns we will be staying in along the way - so exciting!!  We just need to work out what we'll be doing on Christmas day - BBQ on the beach, I hope!

Okay, that really is it from me today.  Back tomorrow with my Lili of the Valley DT post - ttfn!

 

Love you bunches

Hi everyone!  Very quickly popping in to share one of my Bellarific Babe cards using the very sweet Patsy Pixie...

I love how she is peeking out between the flowers like that!  I matched her up with Echo Park papers and the sentiment is from the Kissy by Mo Manning set - love that font!

Okay, I am off now.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

 

Sealed with a kiss

Have I told you recently how much I love Stamping Bella?  I just love their range of stamps - Uptown Girls, Mo Manning, Tiddly Inks - I could go on!  Well for Bellarific Friday this week we had a sketch to follow so I got out one of my new Tiddly Inks and made this...

 

Oh she is soooo darn cute!  This is Izzie Has A Lettah (I just love the names Em the owner chooses!!) and I matched her up with Pink Petticoat gingham and heart digi papers.  And don't you just love the matching sentiment that comes with her?  Fab font!

Okay, next week the theme is "summer" and I hope we get the right weather to inspire me to make it!  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 20 June for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!  ttfn!

 

Everything is more fun with a friend

Hello!  Just very quickly popping in with my Bellarific Babe card using the sweet Annie from the Tiddly Inks Annie and Arthur duo stamp set...

 

She is soooo pretty!  I coloured her on kraft cardstock with my Copies and used the Crate Paper collection kit along with a sweet doily.  I am entering this card into the Simon Says anything goes challenge.

 

Okay, I gotta run - thank you for visiting and I will see you tomorrow on my blog rounds!

 

 

Puppy love

It's Friday!  And that means it's Bellarific Friday time and this week we had a sketch to follow.  Here is my Bellarific Babe card take on it...

Awww, doesn't this image just make you want to grab the person next to you and give them a cuddle?!!  Go on, you know you want to!!  This is Frankie and Fiona by Tiddly Inks for Stamping Bella.  I used Dovecraft Princess Fairytale papers and created a window with my Nesties.  I simply finished it off with a rolled rose in the corner with a pearl popped in it.  Is it too plain, do you think?  I think it needs something else but I don't know what!  I am entering this card into the Simon Says anything goes challenge.

The next challenge is the theme "sisters or friends" - well, this is too easy!  I make these all the time and I hope you can join us too!  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 6 June for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!  ttfn!

 

Hey

Morning!  The sun is shining in the UK albeit it being chilly still but I am stuck in the house because my cold won't shift!  Bleh.  Hopefully I will feel good enough to venture out of the house on the Bank Holiday tomorrow!

I am here today with my Bellarific Babe card using the sweet Arthur from the Tiddly Inks Annie and Arthur duo stamp set...

I coloured him in with Copics on kraft cardstock - I love this technique but it sure drinks the ink!!  I used October Afternoon Report Card papers and alpha stickers and finished off with a simple button - cos boys don't tend to like much else!

Okay, I gotta go now but I'll be back tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post!

 

Let the sunshine in

Hello all!  Well, the UK's summer is still struggling to get here - it's been wet, cold and generally rubbish!  But I hope this card will bring some sunshine to us!

I love Sunshiny Flynn!  I used Echo Park Candy Shoppe papers and some puffy clouds.  I wonder if it's too plain?  Couldn't think of anything else to add to it so it'll remain as is!

Okay, I hope this encourages some sun into your life but for now I gotta go!  Thank you for visiting!

 

Mmmm....strawberries!

I love strawberries, don't you?  My favourite ones are from Kent in England - sweet and juicy!  Shame they aren't at their best for another few months though.  Still, I made my Bellarific Babe card today that reminds me of that sweet, sweet fruit...

Isn't this little girl the sweetest too?  This is Tiddly Inks' Flynn's Berry Happy Day and I matched her up with October Afternoon Fly A Kite papers, used up some more Echo Park alpha stickers and topped it off with some satin ribbon.

I'll be back tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post.  Thank you for visiting, I always love reading your comments!

 

A sunny card!

Morning everyone!  It's Bellarific Friday time and this week we had a sketch to follow.  Here's my Bella Babe card take on it...

Oh I so wish we had some sun in the UK - but no luck, it's still snowing!  And it's that horrid slushy wet snow!  This is Sunshiney Flynn and I matched her up with Karen Funk papers and a sweet little flower with a Doodlebug gem.

The next Bellarific Friday theme is Spring - well, we can but hope!  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 11 April for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!

 


 

Love bug!

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend.  It is so horrid, grey, wet, cold here in the South East of England - thank goodness we managed to avoid the snow unlike my buddies further up north!  Apparently it's going to be like this for the whole of March so I'm resigned to it now.  Bleh.

Anyway, I've got my Bellarific Babe card to show you today...

Isn't she delightful?  This is Lovebeetle Huggabugg by illustrator Christy Croll of Tiddly Inks fame. I'm afraid I can't remember where the papers are from - definitely digi papers though!  I used My Favorite Things fence die and my C.C. Designs Woodgrain stamp - this is only about 2.5" so the woodgrain is nice and small for the smaller die cuts. I also used my C.C. Designs Cutters Grass Border die.  The sentiment is from an old Elzybells set which I don't think is available anymore.

Okay, I'm off now.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will be back tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post.  TTFN!

Bellarific Friday sketch time!

(Please scroll down for my There She Goes DT post!)

It's another Bellarific Friday and this week we had a sketch to work with, so here is my Bellarific Babe card....

 

 

He he!  I just love the Tiddly Inks Branching Out Owlies!   I matched him up with Echo Park This and That papers on kraft cardstock.  I'm going to send this card to my father-in-law - I know it will tickled his funny bone!  I am entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp for Spring.

Okay, the next Bellarific Friday theme is the gorgeous photo below.  Email your creations to Em by next Thursday 28 March for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks (either by submitting a project or simply commenting on next week's Bellarific Friday post)!

You can also join with our Bellarific Tuesday with a colour inspiration for a chance to win $20 Bella Bucks!

I'm off now - thanks for visiting!

Fabby!

Happy Thursday everyone, only one more day to go for Friday, yay!  I'm here to show you my Bellarific Babe card using one of the fab Stamping Bella stamps...

I love this fun gal!  This is Tiddly Ink's Fabby and I am going to use this as a congratulations card for my friend.  I matched her up with Karen Funk So Happy Together digi papers and my Cuttlebug dotty embossing folder.  The lettering is die cut from a Quickutz alpha set called Katie.  I think this is only the second time I've used this set but think the font matches this image really well!  I am entering my card into the Tiddly Inks challenge for CAS (I think it's CAS enough!).

I hope you think my card is fabby too!  Thanks for visiting and I'll be back tomorrow with my Bellarific Friday DT post!

Sitting on this branch thinking of you

I'm just popping in to show you my Bellarific Babe card...

This little fairy is so dinky cute!  This is Tiddly Inks' Peachy Pixie for Stamping Bella.  I matched her up with papers from My Minds Eye.  I am entering this into this week's Tiddly Inks challenge for wings.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with a little tutorial!
