Well, if we needed a happy BellaRIFFIC friday...it's today! It's rainy and fridays should never be rainy, should they? hehe Does anyone not agree with me? Ok, since we agree on that, then hows about we agree that this is a cute kids themed card for this weeks theme. I picked new friends
ella & looloo, from Stamping Bella because I have had this image and just not colored it yet. Honestly, I don't do many kids cards, boy or girl. So this was a change of pace and I had the paper picked out and it looked like it would all go nicely in a circle. The image is stamped on none other than Bella's bestest paper, and colored with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The patterned paper is from October Afternoon and the border punch is from Fiskars. I love the nestie flower and how it echos the flower on the paper...so clever, eh? I made my bow outta twill, one of my all time favorite 'ribbon' materials. Twill goes with everything!!
Now that you have taken a peek at what I did for this week, you need to get on over to Bella's blog and see what the rest of the sistahood cooked up on this rainy day. Then...if you still have strength and feel like checking out the new release stuff, pop into the store and see what's been added. I promise to get back here and make some active links when it's all said and done. The Lollipops are adorable!!! A huge Hello & Welcome to Lori Boyd!!
and...if all that is not enough, we have a little blog hop simmering for tomorrow. I may be somewhere in the middle of it and it will begin with Emily {da Bella} @ 11 a.m. eastern time. It's gonna be a blast, I can feel it!...well, maybe that's arthritis...LOL
Have a nice friday and don't spend all your paycheck! I warned ya...
sooooooooooooo Pretty! I don't have any little girls to make cards for but I wish I did, cause I could make cutie girlie cards like this forever!

I LOVE this Paula. The colours, and how you did the nestie circle on the big flower. It's so soft and delicate.

So pretty! And I must have been channeling you because my layout is almost exactly the same for my bellarific Friday card!
