crafty Makes

Here are a few crafty makes that I have been working on and off for a couple of weeks.  Stamps used are Stamping Bella, House Mouse, Penny Black and Pink Cat.  It all looks much nicer in real life!

Are these not the cutest bugs?

OMG too cute to use.... do you fancy using these at the class in Feb? Let me know! Floral cards and bugs go well together dont you think?





These bugs are from www.stampingbella.com

I am in love with bugs! What next?! Cant wait to play with these again... might have to ink them up again tonight.

Vroom Vroom!

I got this lovely Bella from First Class Crafts and I couldnt wait to show it off. I made this quick card earlier today whilst it seems our garden has turned into the neighbourhood creche! with all the flippin kids coming here... the words creche or MUG springs to mind...

They are not allowed to sell the Bellas online but give them a email to find out which ones they have!

Two little dickie birds sitting on the wall...

When all of a sudden Tilda, Edwin and gang come and along and scare the dickie birds away!

Yummy Eh? Darren might kill me.. if I go AWOL for a while you know why! Oh BTW we BOTH forgot our wedding anniversary this past Sunday! LOL 8 years married and 19 years together, we got married on the same date as Darren first asked me out but 11 years later, awwww.

So as well as the Tilda gang today I got my cute Bikeabella stamp from First Class Crafts. First class was recently taken over by Tracy of Dies to Die For Bellas can not be sold online but Tracy has a lot of these in stock and adding to them constantly so contact her for more info! I am please to announce that I have been chatting to Tracy recently and I will be taking back my Design Team Hat from her... so keep an eye out for more from them! As well as the Bella online there are the "bubbles" and flowers too.. I believe these are to be added soon. These cute little bags are great for when you want a few of certain colours and wont break the bank. I also got Johnny Depster, Tutu face, fabby and all punked up and nowhere to go from Tracy, let me see if I can find a photo of those.

Been busy making cards but I cant share as its magazine stuff, will be out in my shed tonight too. If I can manage a card to share I will ;0) I miss it.

Hey Bella I still lovey you!

I have had to rehome my bellas a few times due to their forever growing state, here is there new home. Ok its not brain surgery to see I have jazzed up a simple basket with chipboard letters (thanks Sis from cricut forum) and lots of flowers and Bellas Baubles. I have around 60 bella/fella/other Stamping Bella stamps in here and room for some more too. I have a few of these baskets (ikea) and I will make one for my Hannas (when I get more) and may even move my Magnolias into one too as they look soooo pretty together on my bookcase. As yes I know they have to shuffle through to look at them, but that makes sure none get forgotten as seeing them will remind me to use those ones too.

Coz we've got High Hopes, we got High Hopes...

and so have I! I got this adorable stamp from Kitty at First Class Crafts

Materials Used : High Hopes Rubber Stamp. Stampin up! designer paper, Cuttlebug traffic jam emb folder, Bellas cappuccino baubles, Mermaid Tears, Ginko and Popcorn Zoomz, Glitter Glue, Stampin up! watercolour crayons, ribbon

Now onto something different... ever wanted so see an elephant in a tutu?? I will be posting a card soon with that very image!! LOL

Little boxes on the hillside...

Little boxes made of ticky tacky... OK I have lost the plot!! ha ha Not sure if you know the song in the USA?? But today when I went to morrisons (supermarket) I saw this little net bag with tiny little boxes in all bright colours. 12 boxes for just 99p! bargain.... now I wish I had brought more as I can think of so many little things I could put in these.... so here is a piccy and I am showing you some of my beautimus "Bellas Baubles". So now I need 8 more colours to fill them all up :)

Next is a picture of my new bella, fella and wording that I got today.

Now there is a picture of my new SU bits today. I sorted out my sets today, I dont have loads, maybe 50, but how sad, I only had 7 that are current!!

I got pencils, 2 sets and the lovely bold brights watercolour crayons, these look LOVELY and I cant wait to get all the sets of these. With only 24 pencils I can see myself demoing these a whole lot more as there are 4 sets of 12 and also a set of nutrual colours.

And lastly for my show and tell is a picture that I coloured in last night, it is one of the new Penny Black halloween stamps. I couldnt wait to show you this as it is just toooooo cute! You can pick up this cute stamp from the Glitter Pot.

The bellas have landed

Stamping Bella is about.... I took a trip to Creative Pastimes to pick up my paper trimmer that I left there after Saturdays class and what should greet me? a spinner full of Bellas! So if you are down this way (Limpsfield in Surrey) be sure to check them out! I manged to find a few that I didnt have and brought some pritty papers. Just waiting to hear from them if they want some samples made. I will be sure to post what I make here before dropping them off.



Now a couple of cards, totally un bella related. A few more from this mornings photo shoot. The bear is a cute one from Penny black and the rabbit is an adorable rabbit from Elyzbells.

Both coloured with pencils. As you can see, the bear was made before my ribbon fetish started! But even back then I had a circle thing going on!
