Victoria and Juliette's Night Out....

Hi Peeps....

It's time for another Bellarific Friday...  and I'm here to share my card inspired by this photo..

I chose to use an older image - this is Victoria and Juliette on a fab night out enjoying a cocktail or two!!  I decided to do a little paper piecing after being inspired by our lovely Sandiebella's post last week..  it's so easy to do and you can give fab patterns to their dresses this way.  I also did some shading on the pieced bit... showing the folds etc.

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Today, I'm sharing a colourful card!!  Even though my first love is pink (you may have noticed!), I do love seeing rainbow colours together - so this card made me feel happy...  isn't it weird how colours can do that to you??

I used one of the new February images from CC Designs - this is Cinnamon Paints..  she's being a bit sloppy with her paint though... I can see lots of clearing up to do!

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

It's Bellariffic Friday today (the weeks roll by so quickly!) and our theme this week was to use a die....  easy peasy huh??

I chose one of my favourite Squidgies to use (who am I kidding... every Stamping Bella image I use is my favourite while I'm using it - I really can't make up my mind with such gorgeousness to choose from!!)  Anyhows.... this is Huggy Squidgies..  for obvious reasons!

Hi Lovely Blogging Buddies....

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink - and we have a REALLY difficult one this time........  it's...

DIES and/or PUNCHES

OK.... I was being a little bit sarcastic......  as it seems we all use dies/punches on our cards......  so you'll find it easy!!  I restricted myself to my three favourite pinks on this card... using them on the dress/shoes as well as the flowers.  The lighting wasn't too great when I tried to photograph my card... but I think you get the drift!!

Gardening Chicks

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

It's Bellarific Friday so it's time for me to use another of my favourite Stamping Bella images - this time it's Gardening Chicks....  I LOVE these little guys enjoying some time in the sun!  Yes...... SUN......  what's that I hear you ask??  We're having lots of grey days here in the UK lately... but I'm sure sun is on it way!!!

Here is this week's Mojobella sketch to inspire...  I think I got close...

Colouring these guys (who btw, I call Chick, Flick and Dick - Dick's the silly one flat out on his back catching the rays!) made me feel summery..  I can't wait for the days of sitting in the garden with a long, cool drink feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin!  Hmmm.... rushing my life away I think!

Big hugs...

Some Bunny Loves Me....

 

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

I'm back into my comfy pink zone today...  It's time for a new release over at All Dressed Up...  and this is such a girlie image that my pink pens literally jumped out of the rack and begged to be used on her dress!

I'm trying out different pink combos... and this is getting to be another favourite (second of course, to my wonderful R81/83/85's)!

Lucky Little Leprechaun

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends....

Yes...... you're at the right blog!!!  It's me!  

Today's card demanded green - not a colour I use very much - but this little Leprechaun wouldn't have let me get away with less...  and he certainly didn't want to wear pink!! hehe!

He's part of the fabulous February release from CC Designs - he's been to the end of the rainbow and is making his way back with his pot of gold...  he needs to be careful as he's losing a few along the way!

Hi again lovely bloggers....  

Well I've been bursting to share this...  but have been ultra good and kept quiet for a little while (unusual for me huh??)...  but now I can tell!

Yes... I've been asked by the uber-fabulous Emily to become a part of the fabulous DT at Stamping Bella!!!  I'm a Bellariffic BABE!!!!  Can you believe it?  I still can't!!  It's a dream come true for me... I've used Stamping Bella rubbah for more years than I care to remember.. and STILL love them!!  So to become part of 'da sistahood'.... well.......  I'm still doing the happy dance!

For my card today, I chose to use Penelope has a Pencil.  Penelope has been going to the gym for months now - she's been practising weight-lifting so she could lift this mahoosive pencil and write a little note to her friend!!!

Lucky Clover...

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Yes it's me AGAIN! (getting tired of me yet? lol!)  And this time, it's with our fabulous CC Designs Blog Hop!

Today is RELEASE DAY for the new FEBRUARY Stamps at C.C. Designs. As you have seen from our Preview Days, these new stamps revolve around Rainbows, Puddles, and Leprechauns, which of course are perfect for all those Spring and St. Paddy's Day cards. We also have a new Sentiment Set and an awesome background stamp! Also, we are going back to pre-cut rubber for our character stamps. The sentiments will remain clear for easy stamping.

I used the gorgeous little Lucky Clover for my card - and I tried to give her Irish colouring with red hair and pale skin - but I think my hair went a little TOO red, and her skin should have been paler!  Ah well.... the best laid plans of mice and men... as they say...

Hi My Lovely Blogging Friends....

Well it's February... and so we have Valentine's Day getting closer, so our All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge has the theme of Romance/Red.

I chose to use one of my favourite of Wendy's fabulous images - this is Amore - isn't she wonderful??  I imagine she's dreaming of her true love and hoping he's bought her red roses!!  

And now I have Dean Martin in my head swaying away and singing 'When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.... that's Amore....'  OK - I'm OLD!!
