Hello friends! Yesterday was a holiday in the Williamson household...well, truth be told it was in Jim's mind. LOL I know, there are probably a few of you girls out there thinking the same thing and knowing what I had to endure. {hehe, I endured it very well thanks to this thing called Skype...I sat and talked to Jeaniebella for a little over three hours!} And, that folks is why I am posting my card today and not yesterday. Izzie has Flowers
is another recent addition to the Stamping Bella family. Do you love her as much as I do! I intended to put her on a different piece of paper but she was too soft for the busy pattern I thought would maybe work...lol But, then I had this piece of American Crafts paper pulled out to coordinate with the other paper and I just kept this one, all by itself. {note to self..always good to have backup options}
I stamped Izzie on Bella's bestest paper in cream, used Versafine black ink, and colored with pencils & blended with gamsol. I played around with the layout and while it is so simple, you would never dreamed I "played" with it for like 30 minutes! Then when I was talking to Jeanie I tried to feel her beautiful bow vibes and just added a small bow. Hmmmm, it'll never be a Jeaniebella or Joannabella bow, but I'm ok with that. I come to accept that I was never a bow maker...I always let my mom do that honor.
This weeks BellaRIFFIC challenge is Valentine/Lovey Dovey...just in time for something special for that special someone! Do you know how to join us and submit your card creation to Emily?? Did ya know that you can win some spending money at Stamping Bella for submitting and for even leaving a comment? Submitting is simple if you can get a photo or scan onto your computer, jpeg format por favor, and forward it to Emily by thursday afternoon.... emily@stampingbella.com. Don't forget to add the photo as an attachment, oooh, I do that a lot! and put some info in the subject line...like BellaRIFFIC card for Feb. 12. Hope this maybe helps someone out there who had no idea of how to submit a card. When you get used to doing this stuff you forget what it's like to be a newbie. If this blond can figure things out...it isn't too difficult. Now...ask me to add updates to my sidebars on my blog...I panic. LOL see ya soon, my precious peeps!
