My Crazy Stamp Obsession!

Raining Bellas Swap

I stamp today so that I could get my swap cards in the mail for Janet's "It's Raining Bellas" swap.  I really like this swap because 1) you only have to make 4 cards once a month and 2) when it's your turn to get rained on, you should receive 20 cards from other Bella sistahs!!  I used the Stamping Bella stamp called lil artist.  I made each card just a little different so I didn't get bored making them (that is the whole reason I don't join more swaps).

I hope the sistahs like them!  All paper is from Stampin' Up! (Cutie Pie DP, Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red). 

I used Riding Hood Red ribbon on all the cards and also stamped "You Color My World" inside or outside of the card.  This stamp is also from Stamping Bella.

I colored the lil artist image with copics.

Thanks for looking!  Have a good week!

SCS Featured Stamper Challenge

I had a chance today to participate in the SCS FS106 Featured Stamper Challenge.  Today's challenge was to Case Julie Lacey.  I can't get enough of SU's designer paper Raspberry Tart, so the following card in Julie's gallery caught my eye.  Here is what I came up with:

I used one of my new Stamping Bella stamps called Juggleabella.  Isn't she adorable??

All paper is from SU:  Raspberry Tart DP, whisper white, pretty in pink, rose red and kiwi kiss.

I used heart brads that I bought from Stamping Bella also.

I colored her with copics and used Stampin' Up! ribbon also.

Thanks for looking and I just might post more today!  Got a lot of birthdays coming up and I need to get stampin'!

Have you checked out Overstock.com lately?

I saw a Inkadinkado fairy stamp on Shannan's blog that I had to have!  I did a google search and found it on Overstock.com which led me to a lot of crafty things!  The big news is that the prices are good (they price match also) and shipping is only $1!  Looking for Nestabilities?  $19.99 per die set.  So go check out www.overstock.com, you might find something you can't live without.

Happy 5th Birthday Lexi-Lou!

How time flies!  It seems like only yesterday you were born!  This picture was taken in February 2006.  I just love this picture because you can really see the color of her gorgeous hair! She is a sweetie!  I wished I lived near my sister and her family so that I could see them more often.  

Bella's Favorite Stamper for February

Congratulations to Lori (aka Pinky66 on SCS) for being selected as Bella's Favorite Stamper for February!

I was inspired by this card in Lori's gallery.  I'm a little late in doing Valentine cards, so I thought I would take this opportunity to make one.  I plan on sending this (like Monday, LOL!) to one of my sweet nieces.

All stamps are from Stamping Bella.  Check out the website; Em posted some gorgeous new stamps today!  And free shipping!

I used all SU paper:  Raspberry tart, rose red, pretty in pink and whisper white. 

Accessories included:  SU's eyelet border punch, pretty in pink ribbon and dimensionals.  I colored the image with copics.

Thanks for looking and check on the challenge gallery when you get a chance.  Lots of beautiful eye candy will be uploaded in the next few days!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  I hope to crank out some more valentines.  I have three nieces and one nephew who will be expecting a card from their Aunt Laur-Laur.  Check out Hope's, jamie's and Sparkle's blogs!
