Hey there, I want to give a shout out to Sally Prow and wish her the best birthday ever! I'm pretty excited that I finally got to ink up Birthday Lulu from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I really LOVE Cheryl Alger's images! Just look at that little tongue...too cute!
Lulu was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam. It pains me to say it, but my friend, Cami, was right! Ugh...she's never going to let me hear the end of it! Just a little bit of Wink of Stella adds so much to the colored image, she says! I added a little "glittery frosting" to the cupcake then started looking to see what else I could glitter (I couldn't resist putting a little on her hat)! *grin* Sakura Clear Glaze pen was added to the hair ties and Lulu's shoes. I totally swiped the layout from a card posted earlier this week by Mary J...it's a fun layout that I'm sure I'll use again and again!

Hey there, are you ready for this week's Stamping Bella challenge project? It was an Inspiration Theme where I pulled the colors tan and yellow and came up with this summery card using Uptown Girl Sandy and her Sombrero. Even though I live on the Oregon Coast, this is NOT something you would see someone wear walking up and down our beaches! Even in the summer people are fully dressed including hats and jackets! *snort*
Sandy was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut using a combination of an Ex-Acto knife/glass cutting plate and scissors. Her sun glasses and cocktail have Sakura Clear Glaze on them for a nice, subtle shine. The sky was sponged with Summer Sky and the smallest cloud in the Die-Namics Jumbo Cloud STAX. The beach and waves were layered then Sandy was popped up on foam. I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, #209, for the layout.

Next week's Bellariffic Fridays challenge is a Sketch challenge. Email your card to Em by Thursday, March 13, to be included on Bloggabella...you could win some Bella Bucks, but you have to use a current stamp! Pretty sure I know which direction I'm leaning for this one...I just need to sit down and work it out! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey there, I made this card for my brother-in-law who has cancer. He is a little more than half way through his chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Although you would think that was great, I've been told the second half is worse. I hope this card brightens his day!
This sweet, little guy is Pull-Up Monkey from Whipper Snapper Designs. He was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. I extended the branch he hangs on by stamping the leaves a second time then drawing in the tiny bit of branch to reach the card's edge (didn't want the branch suspended in mid air!). One leaf in each group was stamped a second time, colored, fussy cut then popped up on foam. The monkey's two larger fingers were also stamped, colored, fussy cut then popped up on foam to make it appear like he is really hanging onto the branch. Really love how this turned out...fun layout and rich colors! This card also fits into a couple challenges over at Splitcoaststampers: Fan Club's Central Theme, You Raise Me Up, and SCS's Love Fest Challenge, Puppy Love (to use cute and cuddly critters).
