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

yesterday....

2011-11-13T08:35:00.000-08:00

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

2011-11-11T05:00:00.000-08:00

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

Sew...lol

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

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

Two more sleeps till my scrappy weekend!

This week's challenge was a fall theme..awesome-fall is my FAV season!

So, I went waaaay out of the box on this one.

I used a crafters workshop template with some embossing creme to make the background paper.

I gotta tell ya- this stuff is seriously cool-

you just trowel it on and heat it with your heat gun

Then I misted with a few different colours, sewed up a tag and cut a few leaves with my slice.

here's a bit of a closer look

texture to perfection challenge at Moxie Fab world

Hey there!!

I hung up my DT hat with Two Scrapbook Friends about a year ago, I decided I needed a break for a while.

the "friends" contacted me and asked if I wanted to Guest this month..I said HELLS YES

I got Jillibean sweet and sour soup to play with..

( I dont know what it is about the name but I always want to say hot and bothered)

I knew this line would rock with the MFT stamps and dies

so here's a card I did using jillibean and MFT

and an altered notebook

this whole guest thing was awesome because I actually got to scrapbook...FUN!!

Thanks for peekin'

yesterday was a crappy day weather-wise, Lola and I set ourselves to craft some stuff.

She wanted to do something with the birdcages that I got at Michaels like a year+ ago.

This was actually green but all faded from the sun..

I gave it a quick coat with ivory krylon

While the paint was drying- Lola picked a birdie shape from Cricut and we assembled it. I added some stickles because my girl loooves her some glitter.

Its now hanging in her window

I made 16 of these because I have 16 (blush) bins of fabric stuff

I bought some Martha Stewart Chalkbord paint and painted the pieces. I finished it off buth buttons and ribbons.

I think this will work..hmmmmuntil I decide I need to do something different
