Happy Birthday Stamping Bella Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the Bella Birthday Bash Blop Hop sponsored by Stamping Bella! If you came here from Joy's blog you are on the right track! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella.

For my card today I used one of my newer stamps, Noah the Computer Guy. I just love him and he reminds me of my 2 boys! They LOVE the computer and sometimes it is a fight to get on one here! :) I also used this weeks sketch challenge, SC257 for a starting point. I got the DP from my local scrapbook store. Sadly, today was her last day as apparently although I enjoy spending my paycheck there, not everyone else does! Lol... Just kidding. II am very sad that she closed her doors, though. I also used not quite navy, sahara sand,, chocolate chip and bashful blue. I used a couple of small brads on the points and wrapped some red hemp twine around the whole thing to finish it off. I hope you can get the jist of how he looks. My scanner doesn't seem to want to pick up the lightest colors, but definitely points out that I REALLY need to work on my copic use! Oh well, I still enjoy my creating! I hope you do too... Now on to the rest of the details...

Sweetest Stocking GC Holder

I made this card for last weeks try a new technique challenge on splitcoaststampers.com. The pattern is provided and the stocking top flips up to show a pocket to insert the gift card. I saw this a while ago and really wanted to try it, but didn't get a chance. Now that it was a challenge I thought it was a sign I needed to make one. I think I will be making a few more for my gift giving.

Thanks so much for popping in and as always let me know what you think!

This is a sweet card I made for the Stamping bella twisted challenge 11 (BTC11) in the Stamping Bella forum over on Splitcoaststampers.com. The challenge was to make a holiday card NOT using red or green. I think I managed it! I love this image and I used liquid applique on her ruffles. The snowballs and snowman were coated with glitter. This card looks so much better IRL. My scanner doesn't seem to want to perform the way I would like it to... :(

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I would love to know what you think!

Thanks!

Merry Christmas kids...

I just LOVE this stamp! It is a new one from Stamping Bella and it went into my cart as soon as I saw it... I know this one is a super simple card but really I fell in love with the image and was proud of myself how the coloring turned out. I really didn't want to take a lot away from the image. I am still experimenting with my copics and trying to figure out how to use them properly. I know I certainly don't give them the credit they deserve, but I am trying! :)

Anyways, I wanted to get in a quick post tonight. I am not sure I will be able to post again until either Sunday or next week after Grey Cup, so I wanted to get one more in before then. As always, thanks so much for stopping by and let me know what you think!

I found some awesome paper today to go with my new Stamping Bella stamps! I was into the local Scrap store and fell in love with this paper. Carter has a birthday party Friday to go to so I was glad I had some inspiration and happy with how it turned out! You can't really see well but it does say Happy Birthday in Green inside the banner this little robot is holding. I am really happy with how this card turned out!

Anyways, just a quick post and getting my kids to bed. If all goes well I may be able to make another card tonight if I am lucky! As always, thanks for popping in and let me know what you think!

Warm Winter Birthday Wishes....

I finally got a chance to make a card for my DIVA sisters challenge I posted a couple weeks ago. It was to make a winter themed birthday card. I love this penguin and had made a card with this set about a month ago but posted it already and just forgot how fun it is! Also my LSS is having a 25% off everything sale as I think they will be closing this month. We don't really have any good stores here and I am very sad to see it go. I hope business picks up and they decide to stay open! Anyways, I did pick up a few goodies for my Christmas Angel SS swap and also some goodies for myself. I added a few colors to my copics and may yet go back for a couple more before they are gone. I don't have any yellow or purple ones yet. I just got a couple reds today and an outliner....

Well, thanks for stopping by and as always I love knowing what you think!

Take care!

Thanks for your support!!

This is a quick post for a card I made. We had a fundraiser to help for hockey fees and I made a quick thanks to send to some of the friends of ours that helped out for the fundraiser. I was panicking a little for fees before the holidays so this was a big relief.

Anyways, it is just a quick card but got me a little back into the stamp groove. I really need to clean off my stamp table though so I can do some more in depth stamping going on! :)

Thanks for popping in and as always let me know what you think!
