I'm back and my tree isn't up yet, so I decided to color a Bella who's decorating hers, merrybella! I may get to putting mine up tonight and I am a little affraid the new kitten is gonna like it too much. {she likes everything and is super nosy!} I still have a few other things to get to tonight, before I even think about it...
This whole cookie frosting look came from this paper by American Crafts. I colored up my Bella, who is stamped on Bella's bestest paper, with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol. Then I cut out with nesties and went to work making it extra delicious, using lots of glitter, glaze and liquid applique. All the little dots around the main image are liquid applique with glitter on top. I even cut out a tree and added it to the front of my card.
I bought a new sewing machine friday night at Target. The Brother machine that I had originally bought back when my sister-in-law gave me hers. Now, it's a machine that has that vine stitch I been wanting...but man the machine is not a quiet as the big old Kenmore. I am keeping it though because I gotta have that stitch! lol. On this card I was using the new machine and I am getting used to where the stitch actually goes...and I didn't do a very good job! Oh well, I need to practice some more! haha {I'm sure I will}
We are not having a BellaRIFFIC friday gallery this week. Saturday there is a hop and I still need to get all that info loaded onto my blog. Bella is turning 3!! Emily has all kinds of stuff going on and that is my next task for tonight..updating my sidebar on my blog here...I don't do very well with it :( I can never remember how to do it. Have a relaxing sunday night and see you soon!
Wow you sure put everything into this one Paula, she is a beauty!
