LOVE BEGINS IN A MOMENT

Hey there, I'm popping in with this week's Stamping Bella sketch challenge.  I love a good sketch, don't you?  I used Jack and Ginger by Mo Manning...aren't they absolutely precious?  As sweet as they are, the sentiment that comes with this set and is stamped on the inside is even better!  "Love begins in a moment, grows over time, and lasts for eternity. ~author unknown".  Awesome, right!?!

Jack and Ginger were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White before being colored with Copic markers.  Ginger's skirt was paper pieced and also colored with Copics.  A die cut cloud completes the sketch.  This also fits in the Simon Says Stamp Love Fest Challenge, Die Crazy, over at Splitcoaststampers.

Next week is inspiration over at the Bellariffic Fridays challenge.  Email your card to Em by Thursday, March 6, to be included on Bloggabella...you could win some Bella Bucks, but you have to use a current stamp!  I've got a couple images in mind...not sure which I will go with.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

THANKS

Hey there, my mom recently had a lung biopsy and I wanted to give a couple of the nurses thank you cards.  They were wonderful, and I really appreciate how they went above and beyond to keep her comfortable.  These sweet birds are For the Birds from Tiddly Inks.  They're so cute and colored up pretty quick!

The challenge right now over on the Tiddly Inks blog is Primary Colors, so I pulled out my red, blue and yellow markers and thought I would play along.  The sketch, #125, is from Freshly Made Sketches.  Clean and simple...love it!  This card also fits into a couple of the challenges going on over at Splitcoaststampers right now:  The Cat's Pajamas, TCP Inspiration Challenge (bird houses = birds), and the Fan Club's Central Theme, You Raise Me Up (birds fly).

KITTY FLIP ITS

Hey there, Cami and I got together for a play day.  She's been gaga for these flip it dies for a while, and I had to see what all the fuss was about!  OK, I have to admit...they were pretty cool and I even bought one of the dies so I can make my own flip it cards!  We had so much fun, we thought we would make it a class at Memories of Time.  It will be this Saturday if you're interested.  You can sign up online, or call/stop by and Cami can help you get signed up.  Sit back and relax, I've got a lot of pictures to share with you!

We'll be making a set of four Sizzix flip it cards and the box to hold them in.  The little kitties are a set of Whimsey/Wee Stamps and they are adorable!

Here's a better picture of all of the cards.  Cute, huh?  Love that new paper...it's from Pebbles and this is the baby girl line.  The boy line is as cute as the girls and both can be used for so many other projects than just baby!  As you can see, we played with a lot of different dies in these cards!

Here's the matching box.  Yep, that perfect bow was made on the Bow-it-All which I will demonstrate for you.

Ack...love that gingham paper!  We'll do a little Copic coloring and even some paper piecing...check it out!

Here's the inside when it's flipped open.  We left a little space for your personalized greeting!

And here's the rest of the cards...

This project also fits into the Perfect Paper Crafting Love Fest Challenge, Lots of Lovely Layers, over at Splitcoaststampers.

APRIL SHOWERS

Hey there, it's time for Stamping Bella's Bellariffic Friday challenge, washi tape or ribbon.  I used Uptown Girl Lolly and her Brolly stamp with some washi tape.  I shared last week that I was a washi tape collector, but not a washi tape user. I finally used some, so now I know first hand that it's awesome stuff!  Check it out...I made a designer button too just by covering it with washi tape.  How cool is that!?!
