bella summer card

I am finally posting last weeks challenge...
The challenge was to make a summer themed card.
Here is mine!! I hope I look this cute when I go to the
beach!!! I love this image...I got her from a swap and
I think I need to get her for my collection.

The paper is from a paper stack I got last year...DCWV
I thought it was perfect for her.
Have a great day.
Don't forget tomorrow is bella-riffic friday.
See you tomorrow.

Red, White & Blue

Here is my card for last weeks BTC...
the challenge was to use bsc70, the twist
is to use red, white & blue in honor of flag day!

I think this bella is perfect for almost any holiday.
The sentiment is from ctmh paper is misc. scraps.
I used liquid applique for the balloons.
I think she will be on the cards I send out this year.
I better get busy!
I really need to scrap...
do any of you have a hard time trying
to do both?
Have a great day!!
See you tomorrow.

Bella-riffic Friday

Happy Bella-riffic Friday!!
Here is my card for this weeks challenge.
I can't believe I got it done on time.
The paper is from ctmh. I used 3D foam squares
to pop the image up (that's the reason for the shadow).

I haven't used this image for awhile...I'm glad I
brought it out and inked it. I had to add another
color...I love the red with this color combo.
Have a Bella-riffic Friday and a great weekend!
I hope to get some scrapping done...I've been
making cards all week I need to catch up.
See you tomorrow.

Who Are You??

Happy Hump Day!!
Here is my card for this weeks challenge.
Show and tell challenge #1...show who you are and why.

I used this bella to show who I am....I love to craft!! always
have and always will and no matter what I am doing...
I always have to look good (even if it's only in my mind and mirror).
The sketch used is from mojo monday and the paper is from my CTMH.

BSC34 Support our Troops

Here's my card for today!!

I got the stamped image from a card swap I was in a couple months ago.

As soon as I saw it...I knew I wanted to make a "Support our Troops" card.

I used some old scrap paper I had and some metal stars I've had around forever...I added the brads in the center and then of course I added some stickles!

I colored her with CTMH inks and a blending pen.

The sentiment is from CTMH - Always Remember stamp set.

And here is the original sketch.

Why don't you come and play along!! Use

whatever you have to create a card using this sketch.
