{ Flowahbella Friendship! }

Still having FUN with the Bella images I've received! This is "Flowahbella" with a bit of *bling*! I've colored her with prismas/gamsol, doodled the edge with a fine black marker, and added a touch of glitter to her flowers. The patterned background paper is from a "Pocket full of Posies" stack with sparkles by Die Cuts With a View. The cardstock is barely banana and bashful blue from Stampin Up!

Other stamps used: TAC "Tag Tidbits" & Stampin Up! "Noteworthy" (friend)

For my KT Girl ~ { Miss YOU! }

This card was made especially for my daughter Katie. She moved to Hawaii last July and I certainly do miss her! Even though her favorite color is BLUE, I think she'll like this one.

I started with white cardstock and layered it with tiny polka dot patterned paper by SEI - Grandpa's Attic . The flower is created with an acrylic set by Technique Tuesday called "Loves Me, Loves Me Not". The set has 5 petals and I flipped over one of them, did my own doodling and stamped "MISS you" with my new PAPERTREYink set. Then added a little black & white ribbon to finish it off!

This is just a super simple little 4x4 card using my new sentiment set from PAPERTREYink. You gotta love this nifty text-style acrylic set...the first one produced by Nichole Heady's new company. This set contains 36 images with over a hundred possible phrase combinations and it sells for only $15.00! I ordered mine and had it in three days! And no, I don't get a discount for advertising, but, that's a thought! :) I already know I'm gonna want her next set!

Ok, back to the card details....patterned paper is Rainbow Leaves from the Paper Studio....and I've combined it with Stampin Up! certainly celery.

Another "FUN" card! My inspiration came from a terrific card that AmyR posted using this same stamp. Thanks to my super friends (Thanh, Michele, Kelly) at The Stamp Shack for sending me the cute Bella images! This "CosmoBella" is colored in with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I "doodled" around the edge with a black marker to match the "cheers" tag. The tag is stamped using the {fun tags} set from TAC. The cheers sentiment is from the {tag tidbits} set. The martini patterned paper is appropriately named "Cheers" and it's a Karen Foster Design. I've combined it with Stampin Up! cardstock Cameo Coral and Tempting Turquoise.

It sounds like we're in for a winter storm here in Nebraska this weekend, so I'm camped out in my stampin room where it's warm and hope to post more creations later! Smiles, Pam :)

{ Aloha Smiles! }

This card was SO fun to make because I had two new stamps to play with! Last week Ethel (Vintagegal) sent me the CUTE Hula Mice stamp by Great Impressions. I "tried" to color it with prismas and gamsol, but I'm still learning. I wasn't sure what to do with the background and would sincerely appreciate any advice or suggestions you could give me. I'm thinking it's a little too much and too dark. The aloha smiley stamp is one that I picked up in Hawaii last month when I was shopping with Dori. Isnt' it CUTE?! And I totally adore this "Tiki Shack" patterned paper by Recess. I've teamed it up with Stampin' Up! cardstock & ribbon.
I think I should send this card to Shuggy since her family went to Hawaii without her! Poor girl!
Smiles, Pam :)
