Purple Wedding Party Bella's

Good mornin' Peeps!

Hope you all had a great weekend. We spent Sunday afternoon at the pool with Marc & Sarah & some of her family, Sarah looks fabulous as always & is beaming with excitement, she has had a fantastic pregnancy & is now almost ready to pop that baby out.

Anyway, on to my cards for today. A friend asked me to make a bridal Bella wedding party card for her future daughter-in-law's bridal shower with purple dresses & I was happy to do it. I made 3 cards for her to choose from & she picked the first one. The other two I will keep for my stash. She also wanted me to make her son's wedding card & she requested the "Whiff of Joy" Bride & Groom in the horse drawn carriage from their wedding collection. I will post that tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great Monday!














Here are 2 great pictures of Marc & Sarah...in these pictures she has 12 days to go before baby arrives. Now we are down to the final 3 days, she delivers Wednesday sometime between 3:30 - 4 PM but we don't get to see our granddaughter for 3 hours later so that will be sometime between 7 - 8:30 PM, oh my! Wednesday is going to be a very, very, very loooooong day for us grandparents! I hope I make it through the day...she will be worth the wait once we see her.





Happy stampin' peeps!

Pregnant Bella

Good mornin' peeps!

Well here are the last of the baby cards. One pregnant Bella & some cute pink polka dot baby ducks. Hope you enjoy. Next week I will have some sympathy cards to post, we all know how we really hate making those cards but if you make them ahead & put them in your stash for when you do need them it is a little easier to handle. I needed to make them to sell at the salon & I also made a few for my stash to have on hand.

Well see you next week. Thanks for stopping by & have a great weekend!

Bella Bridal Party

Good morning Peeps!

I had to make a few cards to sell at the salon where Jessica works, they were running low on certain categories. Today I have Bridal shower cards, I made 5 cards, Bella Bridal Party seems to be a big hit so I decided to make them in different colors.


















Have a great weekend...happy stampin' peeps!

Haircut anyone???

Happy Friday Peeps!

The owner Missy of the Revolutions Salon where Jessica works asked me to make her some plain cards using the 3 hair stylist related Bella stamps that I have & I was happy to oblige. I made 10 of these cards for her in different colors & styles. Here is one of the style cards that I made her. The other ones I made for her are in the last 2 posts.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend...see ya next time! Thanks for dropping by today.










Happy Stamping!!!

Morning Routine

Well good mornin' peeps!

Hope you enjoyed the Oscar's last night, I sure did! I love Billy Crystal & he did a fantastic job hosting as always.

Here are 2 more Bella cards for you today. She's getting ready to style her hair for work...I know that this was my morning routine every day when I was working. Now I do it but it's not early in the morning & it's not a daily routine anymore & I love it! Is this your daily routine?

Well gotta go do my household chores...washing clothes today. Thanks for stopping by...happy stamping!!!

I got this cute background stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps when I visited their fabulous store 2 years ago. I have to go back there next time I visit Vegas. I stamped it a few times to create this background for my card.






Have a great day!

The New You

Hello Peeps!

Here are a few cards I made for the hair stylist in your life to say thank you for her/his great service or just add a gift card for a day of pampering, maybe for Mother's Day or a birthday.

Are you going to watch the Oscars tonight...I am. I love watching it & Billy Crystal is back so it will be a fabulous show...I love him, he's the best Oscar host ever!!!

Well see ya soon, thanks for dropping by. Short & sweet today, sorry.









Have a fabulous Sunday & enjoy the Oscars!!!

Let's have coffee!

Happy Saturday peeps!

Don't you just love getting together for coffee with friends? I do, we have our best talks over coffee & sometimes with wine too, lol!!! Here is another one of my favorite Bella stamps, it's perfect for a friend's birthday card, don't you think? I tried to make it look like they are having coffee at an outdoor cafe by placing a piece of designer paper with a scallop border on top to make it look like an awning. Sorry this picture is a little blurry with Blogger, I promise it was not like that on my PC but for some reason it came up blurry on blogger.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

Hair Stylist Bella

Hi everyone!

Quick post today. This is a great card to give to your hair stylist for her birthday. I had fun coloring this one...love the colors, bright & cheerful which is sure to put a smile on her face. Thanks for visiting, I'm so glad you came by to spend a small part of your day with me!



Have a great day!

Anyone for Golf???

Good morning peeps!!!

Well I finally brought the card rack to the salon last night, now lets hope I can sell them.

I will be posting birthday cards for next week or two, so come back & take a peak. Today's card is golfing Bella & I love this design, I think it came out great...let me know what you think!

Well Dan & I spent Sunday with Marc & Sarah at their newly installed pool & it is gorgeous! Dan & I LOVE the hot tub...wow that was sooooo relaxing! It was in the 80's for Columbus Day weekend...the last hurrah for the pool I guess. You know where I'll be next summer...spending a day or two every week relaxing poolside at their house, lol!!!

Well that's it for today...thanks so much for dropping by. Happy stamping!











Here are 3 pictures of the card rack (couldn't decide which pic was the good one, so I put up all 3) I brought to the salon where Jessica works. I put 80 cards in it, I think that's enough & I will restock every month or so, depends on how they sell. I need to get to work & make more so I can have a big stockpile on hand.

Gone to the Beach!

Happy Saturday peeps!!!

Today's card & project is something I made for Jessica's birthday last week. She loves the beach & loves going by herself to sit, read & just relax in the sun. I thought this Bella was so perfect & I paired her up with the beach chair scene from Gina K Designs stamp set called "You are my sunshine" & I'm so thrilled with how it turned out. She loved it! The bag is a template by Lauren Meader & you all know I'm a big fan of her templates & use them often for many of my projects, I even have some that I bought but never used yet! I have a link to her template with the picture along with a link to her blog so click on it & take a look at what this talented lady has to offer...you will be amazed with her talent, she's so crafty!!!

Well gotta go & get ready to go out with my hubby today! Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!

Just Chillin'!

Hello peeps!

It's been awhile, sorry but I've been a busy bee! I have lots to do from now till the end of October. I need to finish making cards for my card rack (only have about 20 more to make) before bringing it over to the salon. I sure hope they sell so I can buy more to support this habit of mine, hehehe!!! I also have to make bag toppers for my niece in Texas, I want her to have some pretty bags to give her clients when they purchase gifts at her spa for the holidays. Then it's that time of year we all hate...Fall cleaning! Ugh!!! I need to start doing a little at a time, I have a bad back & can't clean like I used to, by the time I finish, it will be time for Spring cleaning, hahaha!!! That's how bad I am, I hate cleaning but it has to get done right? Right! It WILL get done before the holidays though.

Anyway, today's card is a Stamping Bella called drinkafella...isn't he handsome? He's having a grand old time keeping an eye on the beer & his buddy is all set for football season. All they want to do is have a beer & chill! These cards are the Last of the masculine cards. Next series will be anniversary & sympathy cards before getting to girly birthday cards, so stay tuned for that.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!
