LRW eyelets...

yep, you read that right....

Its my week to host the LRW challlenge and I chose eyelets.

I decided to use some jumbo eyelets as an accent on my tags and flower.

I used the I am script for my background and some odds and ends of

7 gypsies. The flower is from Harmonie which I stamped with a bitty background block from pti.

go pop over to the LRW and see what the girlfriends came up with.

Thanks for peekin'

Bellarific Friday..free for all

well its Friday and its a free for all!!

I decided to go outside my comfort zone this week and do a little 4x6 canvas.

I used some embossing paste and a plaid stencil for the background.

I decided to embellish with a frame I made with resin and some cool buttons.

I chose unique definition block as my focal point.

Happy Birthday baby!!

bear ornamenty tag thing.....

its Sunday...I dont know where the weekend went....

I made up a couple of these ornamenty-tag things.

I used a $1.50 wooden snowflake from Michaels which I misted then applied some matte medium.

I mushed it through some art glitter and shaved ice glitter- I am beyond addicted to that stuff!!!

Now....I know that this is supposed to be a white bear ' cause I used

polar bear circle
but I didn't want a white bear...lol

So do you think he should be a tag or an ornament???

Thanks for peekin'

yesterday....

we had to say goodbye to our Nikita

she was a special dog and I miss her more than I can say.

I woke up today with a giant hole in my heart that used to be filled by her sweet face.

Its very strange around here.... quiet, but not in a good way.

We went out for diner last night and when we got home, I expected to see her coming down the hall to greet us at the door or jumping on the back door to get in-but she didnt.

I rolled out of bed this morning and looked down before my feet hit the carpet because I always had to watch that I didn't step on her at the side of the bed, but she wasn't there.

I knew it was coming but I guess that doesn't make things any easier.

People say I should be thankful for the 13 years I had with her, and I am, but I was just not prepared to say goodbye yet.

Well, this has taken me long enough to write and for those that know me I am not a "sappy person" and I really need to go wipe my eyes and the puddle off my keyboard.

Bellarific ........JOY

well its Friday again-
that means another Bellarific challenge!

This week's theme is HOLIDAY so I figured i would put a dent in my Christmas cards again.

I used the I am script as a background and embossed it then hand drew

and cut out some wonky letters.

Next week's theme is a sketch....

sorry its so teenie but I am inept and cannot get it a normal size- its either HUGE or this...LOL

Play along with us and email Emily your creations at emily@stampingbella.com

there is bella bucks up for grabs!!

scroll down for my Loonie ppost!

LSC Baby girl

bitty ruffled book bag

Sew...lol

I promised a co-worker several weeks ago I would make her a bag for her granddaughter.....

I'm usually way quicker with this stuff but for whatever reason, I just didn't get to it until this weekend.

I didnt have a pattern for a small person bag so I kinds made one up...

I had to add ruffles..what little girl doesn't like ruffles

The bag is made of really fine wale cord-so frickin cute- it measures about 10x 12
