...remember the winnie the pooh song..."i'm just a little black rain cloud...hovering under the honeytree...i'm just a little black rain cloud...pay no attention to little me." That was the tune to my day yesterday and maybe it's lifting. Time will tell when I hit save on this here blog and it goes smoothly. I was just having problem after problem on here and I am not a techie at all! lol
I {{heart}} winnie the pooh, and as soon as I saw this little guy... I {{hearted}} him as well. This is from Stamping Bella, remember I told you they weren't only Bella's & sassy Stella's!
Seeing the turtle and the butterfly playing is just too cute. I originally thought I would make a boys bithday card, but I decided that if someone sent this to me I'd love to get it! I colored this with my Lyra colored pencils and blended with gamsol. I added a wee bit of sparkle on the butterfly wings and on the turtle shell stripes. I decided to not make a naked card and added my sentiment 'bestest friend' to the front.
Did ya check out the new stamps and papers added to the Stamping Bella shop? I looked yesterday and while I saw lots of rubber 'eye candy'....I LOVE the peekaboo Bella! Guess what's gonna be on my next order!! hehe Check out the new stuff here...Basic Grey Wisteria, Lime Ricky...
Tick-tock, time is running out for the Bella's Friday-RIFFIC challenge, so ya gotta get your card to Emily by thursday. That is one busy sistah loading all those awesome cards for her post...glad I don't have ta do it...shhhhhh, sorry Emily. ;) Check out this post for all the deets and see ya soon!!

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely adorable!! Your coloring is always fabulous. I looked at the sun and thought for sure you that you airbrushed it, but the lady says Lyra - gorgeous! And, b.t.w., I adore the colors and would love to get it :)

That little turtle is so incredibly sweet! I have to say, seeing the images in black and white on the Bella site and then seeing them in color on your blog - not the same!!!
My wish list keeps growing with each visit I pay to your blog! ;D
