SCS Challenge Card - WalkaBella

Ok all, I just couldn't wait to use my new WalkaBella!! Plus my parents just got a new dog...what better occassion, huh?!?! Ok, so this is a 'case' from Cammie on SCS (she was Sunday's featured stamper). Her original card is in her gallery and is titled "CK...Found a Head". Of course her card looks much better than mine!!! Ah well, Thanks for looking!!

My first ATC

My first ATC and, of course, it's a Bella!!!! This was alot of fun to make! I used Crystal Effects to "glaze" the bathtub (ewwww, shiny!), and gorgeous glass beads for the bubbles. Colored with my Prismas (naturally), heart staples are "Fastenaters". The edges are kinda plain, but oh well, my creative juices are dwindling...maybe I need a bubbly bath!! Do you love my rubber ducky?!?!?

SCS Challenge - CosmoBella by my DD

Well, my darling daughter, Victoria, decided to try todays SCS Challenge and this is her creation! She is as addicted to Bellas as the rest of us!!

Today's Color Challenge...

I always love comments, but I'd really like some input on this one... I was trying to "brighten" it abit so I used clear embossing powder on the Dragonfly (this part I liked), then I used my CB Swirly embossing template on the Sahara Sand piece...not sure if I like it. What do you think? I also "sponged" the edges of the Sahara Sand with Chocolate Chip ink.

So, this was for todays Color Challenge on SCS...very fun! Recipe is as follows
Stamps: All I Have Seen
Paper: Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand & WW
Ink: Blue Bayou, Versamark & Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Choco Chip Tafetta ribbon, clear embossing powder, CB Swirly embossing plate

TinkerBella...my very first Bella card!

This is my very first Bella card evah! It took me a few days to break in my new and beautiful Bellas, but boy now that I have I don't want to stop playing!!!!! I love these gals! I used my SU ink pads and aqua painter to color these because I didn't have the exact color Prisma pencils I wanted...this was kind of a blessing because it made me remember how much I love my aqua painter!!!! Because of the detail Prisma pencils may have been easier though! Thanks for looking!!

My First Card Swap!

This is my card front for a New Catty Mega Swap! Wow are these swaps fun! I love them and have quickly become addicted!! To make this pocket card I used the Priceless set from SU!; Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Whisper White cardstocks; Chocolate Chip, Blue Bayou and Versamark inks; Chocolate CHip Tafetta & Blue Bayou Double Stitch ribbons.

Thanks for looking!

"Thank you" for the best SU Demo Ever!!!

I made this Frapp bottle as a "Thank you" for my SU Demo (she is absolutely the "bees knees"). I used the Friends and Flowers Paper Pack and the "Thank You" stamp from the Riveting set. The bottle says "Friends" around with the letters from the pack and is filled with yummy Jellie Bellies. I also used Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon (love that taffeta ribbon...yummy!).
