...when last we parted, I was finishing up coloring my images for class and getting the color list to Emily. I am now happy to report that I have since cut and stamped out all my class images! woohoo!! I saved a ton of paper by cutting my paper into the size I want it, then, stamped it out...duh, I was stamping on so many pieces of paper then letting you guys do the trimming. {You can all thank Lindabella for that idea!} I have been pretty busy all week and it's FRIDAY already...do I hear applause or is that in my head? Friday is great isn't it? It signals the start of the weekend, co-workers are generally in a better mood, new movies are coming out AND it's always a BellaRIFFIC friday around here!!
This weeks theme was Holiday/Christmas...it's that time of the year already, can you believe that?? I pulled out a Bella image that I have not yet colored and was not in any of my classes. Frosty is something I don't want to see until it's closer to Christmas, unless he's on a card, lol
This just happens to be something I did color{on Bella's bestest paper} with a piece of patterned paper in mind...but it didn't work out in the end. I eneded up using a 6 x 6 pad of DaisyD paper and sadly they went out of business...I really liked them too. Lucky for me it had blues, red & green and I made a country inspired patchwork outta it. To keep the country look going I added a gingham ribbon and a bright green button. I used glitter, clear glaze pen and liquid pearls on frosty's trim. Ask me if I am totally happy with the pearly look...no, but I didn't want to mess with it. I much prefer my Marvy liquid applique, not a contest there friends.
Well, this concludes my BellaRIFFIC post and I will be working like a crazy person this weekend to get all my patterned paper cut for class. Sunday I will announce my birthday-blogcandy in honor of myself getting older. Don't forget to check out the sistahood on Emily's blog later on...I love the holidays!!!!!
Oooh, Paula this looks so lovely! You are a very busy girl!
