New Year's 2007-08

Ok, so I'm a little behind. LOL!! I had a hard time with this page because of the colors. They aren't really "in" right now so finding stuff to match each other in my stash was tough - but successful!! YAY! My sister and I don't drink too often but for some reason felt it needed to be done this year. Who knows why. We couldn't have been too bad tho because we felt okay the next day. LOL! And yes, a few pictures we look stupid as hell but we can't always show just our "pretty" side can we? Here's for a few laughs. Ya sorry Simone....not really...snicker!! :)

Cards

My sister is a bit of a shy one so I'm sneaking out a post before she stops me. She made some fantastic cards today that you must see! This is her blogspot - As My World Turns. If you click on them they get bigger but the detail of the bestfriendsforevah is so cute! She used stickles and put a gem in the middle of the flower on the r/h friend's dress! How sweet! I love them both!

Grumpabella

Well she was fun!! On the inside it says:

You say "bitch" like it's a bad thing. hee hee

I just bought that stamp last weekend and thought it was a riot!!

More Pages

This set is of my DH in his Sunday best (love the "do" - he'd kill me for putting this out there!) on the right. My stepdad, Lance, is on the left. They both bought remote control helicopter's within the same month but before either of them new. BIG KIDZ!!

This layout is of my DH again and his two kids Sara and Ryan. Unfortunately, they now live 10hrs away from us so we don't get to seem them often but we make the most of the time we do spend together. I always say if there is anything my DH does better then anything in the world, it's being a dad. He does his best and he loves these kids with all his heart.

Scrapbook Layouts

Even thought it may seem I do nothing but cards (and it feels like it lately), I really do scrapbook as well. Two weekends ago I went to a local scrapping fundraiser at a school not even three blocks away! Well, that jump started me again and good thing as I have a Las Vegas trip coming up this week that I'm sure will be a full album in itself. Here's a few from my recent very long but exciting session!

Hanna - But I Need It

My official first REAL card with more blending of my Copics. I had to emboss the image so the it wouldn't bleed. I have since discovered I have to use 110lb paper to avoid this. I haven't bought any yet but soon. Reeeeallly soon! Once again just love how vibrant the Copics are!

Bella Sistah Package

WOW! WOW! WOW!!

Ok I am a little late on this thank you but I've hardly been home these last 2 weeks. However better late then never cuz I really appreciate all this stuff. Laurel just really seems to know me so well already!! She sent me a whole crapload of stuff again!! And in my favorite color!!! I'm thinkin' I don't really have to tell you that one! And I always love getting her cards. She's so talented! More sparkle chipboard letters (can never have too much), images, bg paper, ribbon, beads, buttons, tags, coasters and some really neat anchors with brads. Those are neat! I can't wait to use them! EEEEEE heeee heeee - HOW EXCITING!

Cosmobella

I can't believe I don't own this stamp! It was so fun to use! I was trying to make a simple card - I have problems with that. I don't know that I love the card but some people might. I thought the glitter made it fun!! Love her orange stickled tank top! Thanks Loreen!!! Yet another wonderful enabling bellaholic! LOL!

Dogwalkabella

This was one of my first attempts coloring with my Copics. I didn't think it was too bad and the colors are really vibrant. They are becoming my favorite way to color most definitely!! Thanks to my enabling bella sistah Sheri Danielson!! LOL!! She gave - yes "GAVE!!" me 5 Copics to try and sold me on them right away!!! What a sweetheart and sistah-in-cahoots bella!
