This card was created for VSN at splitcoast. I had a lot of fun doing the VSN. This challenge obviously was Faux Postage. I haven't done that technique in a long time. I used Stampendous ice cream cone and Stampin Up Mini Mates set. All paper is from Stampin up. Colored with Prismas and gamsol.
The postage stamp template I got from splitcoast.

Today has been sooo much fun! With the
beginning of the Bella yahoo group I decided to
start stamping. I created this card this after-
noon. I used Basic Gray Paper and Stampin
Up paper. I love both companies very much.
I stamped the packages on the printed paper
and cardstock to make them pop a little.
Smile is from the stamp Petal Pushers by
SU. And last but not least the flowers are
from American Crafts. They are plastic
but very cool. They fit in with this card right
away. Okay, dinner is cooked and cleaned up.
So, I am off to create a couple more cards.

BELLA!!! Here is my latest! I made this for a Swap too. I have not received the cards back yet. I can't wait to see them all.

This is a card that I did for a Polka Dot Paisley Swap.

I had a lot of fun making it. Of course I used some of my

favorite colors. Close to Cocoa and Bashful Blue. You can't see it in this photo but I used stickles again and a pop dot on the Paisley. I got a lot of fun cards back from this swap. I may have to case a few and post them.

I made this card for a friend of mine. The paper is from The Slab at ACmoore. I colored my bunny using Prismas and Gamsol. I need to start stamping some cards with some of my NEW sets.

I better get stamping!! I have a free day today YAY!!!

I know that I have posted many times today. I just want my blog to have something to look at. Here are my last cards for today! The sweet tray is a Stampendous stamp. I love this stamp. The goodies look so super yummy. The other card is from a retired Stampin up set. I was just

playing. To see what I could come up with.

Beautiful ......Bellas ...Here is my very FIRST Bella

card from.... www.stampingbella.com. These are the cutest stamps. I tried to pick bellas that were not too trendy. Be on the lookout for some more of my "swella bella" cards.

These adorable little ice cream cones are from Stampendous. They have some really yummy

stamps. I know it isn't a wintery card. Can you tell that I am ready for the summer. I used prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I love coloring in my open image stamps this way. It always turns out so nice.

I came up with this card when I sat down to play with this great set. I wasn't crazy about it at first.

I really love it now. Obviously, the paisley stamp is my fav. You can't see in this picture, but I used stickles for a glittery effect. I REALLY like the stickles. They go on so easy. I got my stickles at addictedtorubberstamps.com. It is a great online stamp and scrapbook store.

This is my very first post on my brand new blog. I am so excited to have a spot just for me to post my ideas and my thoughts. This is a tin I made this summer for my daughter's friend. She loves pink and monkey's. I also made a tin for my daughter for Christmas. I need to take a photo of it and post it here as well.
