It's a Bella-RIFFIC and before you look at my card and wonder if I had maybe had a few drinks...I assure you, I didn't...LOL You see, every once in a while...even I get cranky & crabby and that was how I came home one day this week. So I was advised by a person who knows me well {Mary} to go home and take a nap. I did! It's like a favorite thing to do!! So I wake up from the nap and eat dinner, get o the computer and try and catch up with a conversation that had several postings... So, I excuse myself to go make my card for friday. {I ended up making 2, because we have the lulu hop on saturday} Long silly story made short, I get to work thursday morning and realize {lightbulb moment} I was supposed to be following the sketch! What the HECK!! Thursday I thought I would have time to fix this error...but we had some place to be after I got outta work.
Here is my new grandkitten Daisy! She is an 8 week old, very tiny siamese baby. There were so many kittens at the breeders house..I could have taken home a bag full of them. Daisy and Niki had a little face to face time, and this tiny lil girl tried to arch her back and hiss, but no noise came out...too cute. Niki ignored her totally!
So here is my card, sorry I didn't remember to follow the sketch exactly...I did have it ready and cut into a circle, LOL!
Betty the bookworm is by one of Emily's new artists, Ellia! As soon as I saw her line of kiddo's I was in love. How can one person hold so much love for so many different styles?? It's possible and I am walking, living, breathing proof of that! Now, I will tell you, I colored up the first Betty and I totally ruined it, putting it into my Big Shot, trying to emboss it. Again, just don't ask... just know I wasn't drinking. :) I had to color up a second Betty, just like the first and they were both inspired by the Cosmo Cricket 'Earth Love' paper line. LOVE it!! I am loving all the new Bella stuff and if you didn't catch Emily's blog post, check it out here. I could start scrappin again, and I need to do a baby book...this stuff new things to love.is gonna be included in there...yeah, it's for a baby girl.
Betty is stamped out on Bella's bestest paper and colored with my prismacolor pencils. Ya know, you just don't realize how much you love this paper until you pull out a stamped image from your stash and it's NOT on this smooth paper. I can not wait until next weekend when I am in Toronto using it with copics. {hehe, my pretty bunches of copics will get some use!}
Well, I better scram and get outta here. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you here bright and early tomorrow for a lulu hop, that's starting in the morning.
Gorgeous card....yummy papers and suuuuch a cutie is Betty! bx

Paula what a sweet card - just beautiful. Love Daisy too - looks much the same as my little Siamese Bailey when he was a kitten... he's 18 years old now though, but still a cute.

OMG Paula - this card is out of this world a-DO-rable! reminds me of my little bookworm girl in her new glasses. I just can't get over how well you put down color and blend it ever so gradually. This card just signs to me. Sigh....
Congrats on the new kitten - what a cutie! {Hugs}

Paula the kitten is adorable. Almost makes me want to run out and get another one. Love this card, that image is on my wish list, won some bella dollars and going to get her for sure. I will make sure I check back later since I am doing the bella hop too, and it is all your fault, LOL of course.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
