Nurse Nellie

I am so behind in doing the Bella challenges. Now that the holidays are over I am going to try and get back on track. I made this adorable little Nurse Nellie card for a co-worker who was in a car accident. I am sending it over with a Chicken Divan Casserol, brownies and the movie Juno. I hope it cheers her up. The paper used is from DCWV and the sketch is Bella Sketch #61.

Cards I have been working on this week

Okay. I am sooooo late in posting my cards for the week. So here they are :)

This is "Alexis Bad Hair Day" Don't you just lover her? She is colored with Copic Markers. The paper is from DCWV and the sketch is Bella Sketch Challenge #41.

This is "Cuppacakeabella". She, too, is colored with Copic Markers. Her cupcake is paper pieced. The paper is from CTMH.

This one is "Bee Sweet" She is a retired stamp from Penny Black. I just got her from Dick over at HM Stamps. You can check out his collection in the link on the right where I love to shop. He is a great guy. He is so funny and is quick at shipping orders...and his prices are very reasonable. I colored her with Premier Colored Pencils. Then blended the colors with Odorless Turpenoid. The paper is from K&Company. The sketch is from "Friday Sketchers". You can see the link under "other blogs".

This is a "Sara Kay" stamp. Isn't she so sweet? I got her from Korin over at "Sweet and Sassy". You can see her link on the right under places I shop. I colored her with Copic Markers. The paper is Nana's Nursery from DCWV.

And lastly, is "By the Sea" Tilda. I got her from Diana Crick. I will add her email address to my links. She will send you her online catalog. These Magnolia stamps come from Europe. So it is nice to get them from Diana and not have to pay that extra shipping. I used my Nestabilities to cut the ovals. She is cut out and raised on a pop dot. The ribbon is weaved through the card. I used a Fiscars Border Punch to make the slots. And, the paper is from DCWV. Thanks for looking and have a great day :)

Bella Sketch Challenge 37 and 38

Here are a couple of Bella Sketch Challenges that I did over at Split Coast Stampers. Both cards have quite a different feel to them. I made Lattebella when I was on vacation at the beach last week. Notice the happy colors and feel of the card? The second card that I made using All Dressed Up and No Where to Go was done today. My second day back at work from vacation. Notice the grunge and rebellious look to this card? It's so hard going back to work after vacation...from laying in the sun, being so free and relaxed to going back to a dark, gray office with deadlines and pressure. I could so get used to retirement....
Both papers are from DCWV. I used Pocket full of Posies for Lattebella and Grade School for All Dressed up and no where to go. On this card I used chalk around the edges to give it that grunge look.

Fabby Card

Isn't she just the cutest!!! I made this card using Fabby for a friend of mine who is a school teacher. She is getting burned out and this is probably how she is going to feel on the last day of school. Fabby is from Stampingbella, the paper is DCWV Grade School Stack.

Never Grow up Ella and Loo Loo

Here is another of my favorites from Stamping Bella. This is "Never Grow up Ella and Loo Loo". I used my new "Whoopsy Daisy" paper from CTMH. I love the way it turned out. I made this for the Bella Sketch Challenge #25 over Split Coast Stampers. And, I have included a picture of my favorite stamping partner, Lexi. She just loves doing paper crafts.

Other than Close to My Heart, I love the Bella Stamps. Here are some of my favorites.

These two little cuties are "Best Friends Forever". I made this card for my best friend Jackie who I have just reunited with after 35 years!!! We will be Best Friends Forever.

Jeepy Girl

Here is a card that I made for the Bella Sketch Challenge over at SCS. This is Jeepy Girl. The sentiment is a new stamp of the month set from CTMH called Todays Date. The paper is also from CTMH and is Precious Paisleys. I think that this would make a cute birthday card for Lexi to give to one of her little friends.
