Another Sick Bella Card

Hello everyone!

Hope your all having a wonderful day today! It's still cloudy here & we're getting a few snow flurries, not much accumulation though just enough to cover the ground & keep the sun away. I need the sun!!! It's been too gloomy here for about a week now. Wish I was in Vegas soaking up the sun & relaxing. Well we won't be going there till after the wedding, we're pushing for October, my sister wants to go there to celebrate her 75th birthday & get some of the family to meet there & celebrate with her. I'm the baby of the family at 57, the oldest is 76, my mother thought she was done when she had her 6th child, but 8 years later I came along. Hehehe!!! It will be great to get some of us together & I can't wait to see some of my nieces that I haven't seen in years!

Well on to the card of the day! This is the other FeelaBella card that I made the other day. I just changed the paper & colors & sentiment for a different look.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Hugs...Rita

My Poor Sweet Bella is Sick!

Hi Ladies!

First of all I want to say how sorry I am to the people who have gone through the ordeal of those terrible tornados, you are in my thoughts & prayers. I can't even imagine what you have been through & I am so very sorry.

To all of you who are getting all that snow, I hope you are all staying warm & if you have to go out in that snow PLEASE be careful driving & stay safe. We were lucky, we got all rain here, the western part of the state did get some snow but I don't think it was much compared to other states. I would love to see some pictures of the snow scenes, I have always loved seeing pictures of freshly fallen snow on the roads & the trees, it's so magical to me! Snow is such a nuisance but it is soooo beautiful! Don't ya think?

Well on to today's card. I just had to get this FeelaBella stamp, I thought it was so cute & would make a great get well card for friends & family! When I first saw this stamp I thought of my daughter right away & had her in mind when I bought it, but wouldn't you know it I buy it & no one gets sick! That's a good thing right? But I've been itching to make a card with this Bella...soooo I made two & will put them away till I need a get well card, hopefully I won't have to use it. I bet your all laughing at me 'cause you can tell that I'm dying to send it to someone & your absolutely right! Hehehe!!! But seriously, I don't want anyone to get sick. Colds can be such a pain in the butt & no one likes to be sick.

Well have a great day & thanks for spending a little part of your day with me! I truly appreciate your company! Toodles!!! OMG did I say that? Do YOU remember saying that when you were a teenager? I haven't said that in YEARS!!!

Hugs...Rita

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone had a great day today! Here is one of the cards I made the other day, I have 3 more Bella cards for you, but I'll only share one a day so that I can have something to post each day. I stamped two of the same stamp but used different DP & colors. I still have a few cards I need to make in order to catch up & mail out. So this post is short & sweet, sorry! I still have some stamps that I got for Christmas that I don't think I will be able to ink up (winter stamps) unless I can get around to it before the Spring, so stay tuned to see if I do! Hehehe!!! Thanks so much for stopping in & visiting me today. Happy stamping ladies!!!

Hugs...Rita

Tagged Again!

I was tagged by Courtney, thank you sweetie! For this tag you have to list a fact about yourself using the letters from your middle name, but what I'm going to do is to use the big city near me which is Boston, it's about 40 miles north of where I live. So here goes!

B – Busy getting ready for my daughter’s wedding.

O – Ought to get a job to support my stamping habit.

S – Sunny disposition, I am always smiling!

T – Trying to get organized but not succeeding to my liking. (In my craft room)

O – Only in Boston can you see the "BIG Green Monster"...at Fenway Park!

N – Not a good idea to just take me to the Mall to walk, because most of the time I will buy something.

Consider yourself tagged by me if you want to put this tag on your blog, but use a city near you or use your state instead of your middle name. Have fun!

I will be back later with a card. I made some cards this weekend but I need to take pictures & write down the details for each card, then edit the pictures. I'm almost caught up with the cards that I need to make to send out & then I can get busy doing projects that I can't share with you till after the shower & wedding. I will also try to at least make a card a day or every other day & post it on my blog...so PLEASE bare with me for the next few months. Thank you so much.

Hugs...Rita

Thoughts of you card

Hi Ladies!

Well the BIG weekend has finally arrived!!! Will you be in front of the TV watching the SUPER BOWL? You know I will be rooting for the New England Patriots, what an AWESOME team we have here!!! GOOOOOOOOO PAT'S!!!

Well enough of that, on to stamping stuff, right ladies? Here is a card I made for a friend of mine who lost her step father & is having a hard time dealing with it. Death is not something we can get over quickly, it takes a lot of healing & faith. I finally got around to making a card, I had no Sympathy stamps but I did have this one & she & her family are in my thoughts, so I thought it would be appropriate. I think I'm going to have to invest in a few Sympathy stamps. I have all the details to this card below.

Hope you all have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend & don't eat too much! Hehehe!!!
Thanks for stopping by tonight. Opppps...darling son just called, gotta go.

Hugs...Rita
