When I saw this weeks MOJO 142 sketch I instantly knew I wanted to make a Christmas card since I am behind on getting them made! I made 2 again this time which I think will pay off in the end.
I inked up one of my favourite Stamping Bella Christmas stamps - Minty Coffee onto bella's bestest paper. I coloured the cup with pencils and gamsol - I so rarely use them! The holly and leaves on the cup are coloured with copics and I added some red stickles for the holly. On the steam I used some black micro fine glitter and on the candy cane I used a red atyou spica pen and a clear glaze pen to give it some shine.
The ds paper is from My Minds Eye's Merry Days of Christmas layered on baja breeze cs. The snowflake border punch is from EK success. I added a ghost snowflake and an olive bella bon bon.
Thanks for stopping by - have a fantastic day

Colour Coded Bellariffic
Wohoo it's Friday & the forecast is for nice weather this weekend!! I am soooo excited we are golfing tomorrow for the 1st time this season (at home)
Today's Bellariffic Friday challenge was a colour challenge - soft pink, celery green & chocolate chip. I decided to play along with the Mojo sketch this week (MOJO 138). Based on our colours I went with a girl image - sweet Gratty 'tude.
The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper & coloured with copics. I used green micro fine glitter for the centres of the flowers, and star dust stickles on the hearts. On the polka dots on her dress I used a pitch black glaze pen.
The ds paper is My Minds Eye Quite Contrary layered on chocolate chip paper and celery cs. I added some bella bon bons in cotton candy on the ribbon; both 5mm & 7mm.
Bellariffic Fridays will be posted on Monday (Em is away today) but we have next week's challenge for you - this amazing sketch from Jeanibella!! Submitt your cards to Em by Thursday to be included in the round up
Thanks so much for stopping by & have a fantastic day!

Flowery Bellariffic
Yeah it's Friday & time for Bellariffic Fridays!! Today's challenge was to use flowers, which was fun to use since it's been snowing here in Calgary - at least I could see flowers someplace!
I went through my bindah's and found a long neglected flowahbella. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO138) and stamped the image onto bella's bestest paper and coloured the image with copics. The DS paper is basic grey's Kioshi layered on pale plum and perfect plum. I used apple micro fine glitter & black micro fine glitter on the centre of the flowers on the panel. For the centres of the flowers in the pot I used glamour dust glitter
Make sure you stop by Bloggabella today to see all the sistah's creations and next weeks Bellariffic Fridays is a colour challenge - Soft Pink, Celery Green & Chocolate Chip. Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be a part of the gallery & remember you can win bellabucks!

Pure Innocence Mojo
I found some Pure Innocence Digi's and ordered a few - I still prefer having the stamps for paper piercing etc but some of the digis are so darn cute!!
I LOVED this weeks Mojo sketch (Mojo 133) and was happy I could play along. I printed off one of the digis of the Pure Innocence girl with a flower pot and coloured the image with copics.
I added some star dust stickles to the centre of the flowers. On the flower pot I used a clear glaze pen.The DS paper is from WeR memory makers Hippity Hoppity line - I love the brightspring colours. The ds and image are layered on Rose Red. The stripe is the reverse side of the ds paper and I added some orange rhinestones.
Thanks for stopping by & I hope you have a fantastic day!!

Feeling my Mojo...
I LOVED this week's Mojo Monday sketch (mojo 124), so I inked up one of my long neglected stamps from Stamping Bella & played along!
Dolly Ketto is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I paper pieced the hearts on her dress and used a green atyou spica pen on the bows in her hair and coloured her shoes with a clear glaze pen. I added two tiny rhinestones for the buttons on her dress.
The DS paper is Bo Bunny's Love Bandit collection, and I added some ribbon, paper piercing, prima flowers and a bella bonbon in the center.
You have until midnight Thursday to email Em your cards for this weeks Bellariffic Fridays click here to see the amazing sketch

Bellariffic Birthday Wishes
Happy Friday - this week the bellariffic Friday challenge was to make a birthday card, which was perfect because I always seem to be behind on getting them made & sent!
I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO123) as my inspiration and inked up one of my new bella's - "all boxed up a bella". The image is stamped on bella's bestest cream paper and coloured with copics. The DS paper is from October afternoons Cherry hill collection called Cookie Jar (the stripes) and Recipe box. I added some kiwi ribbon and for the prima flower I sprayed a white flower with pumpkin Tattered Angels Glimmer mist. I love the look of the glimmer mist, but was worried about a mess so I kept a boot box with a flip top lid (sturdy sorels what every Canadian gal needs!) and spray in the box lined with paper towel. Once you have sprayed the flower press it into the paper towel to soak up any extra then just put the box away; no clean up required!! I added a bella bonbon to the flower and the buttons are from my collection.

Bring on the BLING!!
Happy Friday - today's Bellariffic Fridays challenge was BLING - glitter, rhinestones, baubles, bonbons anything that shines!!
For my card I used this weeks Mojo Sketch (MOJO116) and inked up Pookie Lollipop. The image is stamped on Bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I popped up the petals on her head and added some pink stickles to them, and popped the flowers on the bottom which have a combo of glamour dust glitter & crystal effects. On the pot I glued on Glamour dust glitter, then put on a layer of crystal effects.
The DS paper is from crate paper's bliss collection called zest & impulse. I paper pierced around the paper and added some chocoalte ribbon and for a little more bling I added some bonbons.
Don't forget to pop over and see all the amazing entries on Bloggabella today! I hope you all have a great weekend; we are suppose to get more snow & cold weather - I've been trying to get my shopping done & parcels sent between the snow storms!!

Finding my Mojo
I started this card last night before dinner; with the intent of finishing it and posting it right away, but somehow after dinner I found myself on the couch watching "Battle of the Blades", "Cake Boss" (love that show!) and DWTS - what did I ever do before time shifting?! Not the most productive evening but certainly relaxing! This morning I got my coffee and went back to finish up sweet Agnes Ketto.
It's been some time since I inked up a Ketto; Stamping Bella has too many sweet images that some seem to get neglected! I chose this weeks Mojo (MOJO111) sketch as my inspiration. Agnes Ketto is stamped with Memento's ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics. I added some Micro fine glitter to her wings and used my lavender atyou spica pen on the dots along the flowers and skirt. I double stamped the skirt and cut up and popped the orange layer so it looks like it's flowing.
The cb is white, layered with elegant eggplant and celery cs; the ds paper is from Little Yellow Bicycles Zinna line. I added some celery ribbon and prima flowers. I didn't have the right shade of yellow so I sprayed a white flower with Jack O'Lantern Glimmer mist & added a bella bon bon to the center of the flower.

Birds Decorating Trees is stamped with mementos ink on Bella's Bestest paper and coloured with copics. I added silver stickles for the decorations. I didn't want to layer my image so I coloured the edge of my image with a copic along the

Gratty Mojo
When I saw this weeks Mojo sketch I wanted to play along - I always love their sketches because they are always such clean lines.
I chose Gratty 'tude from Stamping Bella - she is so sweet! I stamped her on bella's bestest paper with mementos ink and coloured her with copics. I added some green stickles to the centre of the flowers and used an atyou spica pen on the polka dots on her dress to make them stand out.
Instead of a bow I added some bella bonbons in burnt honey to give some bling to the card, the stamp comes with a sentiment which I put inside the card.
Don't forget to get your card to Em for this weeks Bellariffic Fridays - she is extending the time from 5pm est on Thursday to midnight EST and they will be posted on Friday.

Rain Rain Go AWAY!!!!!
So when I sat down Monday afternoon to make a card it was pouring and thundering and cold (seriously it does not feel like mid-July here!) I came across Rainy Days Elzybells & decided she would be perfect considering we are suppose to get even more rain Monday night & all day Tuesday
I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch as my starting point. Rainy days Elzybells is stamped with mementos ink and coloured mainly with Lyra Pencils and mineral spirits, I did use copics for the flesh tones. (E000, E00, E02, R02)

The DS and blue paper is all from a Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients, as is the rhinestone flower. I also used SU's Pumpkin pie paper and ribbon. I used Taylors Tiny Twinkles for the buttons on her coat. I added a tiny twinkle to the center of the rhinestone flower and it doesn't show in the picture but I added some crystal effects to the puddles.
Thanks for stopping by, I am hoping by tomorrow we will start to dry out a little bit!!
Have a great day

The Perfect Sentiment...
When I was making this card I found the perfect sentiment "merry & bright" because that is exactly what this Christmas card is BRIGHT!!
I used this weeks Mojo sketch for my inspiration (mojo94). The stamp is from Stamping Bella, cupcake with holly on top which is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics. The DS paper is from Fancy Pants called Wonderland.
The cb is real red layered with some of the wonderland ds paper, then layered with a strip of melon mambo which is embossed with cuttlebugs snowflakes. The image and ds paper are layered onto melon mambo. I added some crystal effects to the holly and used a gelly roll pen on the flourishes on the cupcake base
The sentiment is from Stamping Bella, it's a long sentiment so there was a lot of masking to try and get it in the circle!
Don't forget you have until 5pm EST Thurs to send Em your Bellariffic Friday cards click here for details

It's Official...
You might have noticed the Stamp Vermont badge on my blog - well I am SO EXCITED to say that I am officially going there with my BFF & Joanne (just a little something)!! I was planning my fall trip to see Karen & this was too tempting for us to pass up so it's official now because we are registered for Stamp Vermont & I have my plane ticket for Boston with a little side trip on the way home to Toronto - I can hardly wait (not that I want to rush summer!!)
Today I used sweet Charlotte Ketto for my card and the Mojo Monday 93 challenge. I coloured the image with copics and added just a little shimmer on the tips of her hair with my gelly roll pen. The paper and brads are all from basic greys Urban Prairie line.
I had a hard time with the sentiment - you would think I couldn't commit yet I've been married 17 years (well next weekend) and with him for almost 20 (yes I was VERY YOUNG) so what's the problem with committing to a sentiment?! I chose "just a note" because you can use it for anything - does that really count as committing???

Minty Mojo
When I saw this weeks Mojo Sketch (89) I knew it would be perfect for my weekly Christmas card!
I used Minty Coffee (yum coffee....) from Stamping Bella for my card. The image is stamped with memento ink and coloured with copics. I added some stickles on the candy cane and a ghost snowflake with a ruby red bonbon on the circles.
The DS paper is from Prima Marketing Inc's Christmas Fancy collection called Holly. The cb is SU's Baja Breeze layered with Ruby Red. I ran a strip of Baja Breeze through my big shot with cuttlebugs snowflake embossing folder

My wonderful friend Leslie who lives in the Toronto area always starts to worry if everything is OK when I haven't been posting in awhile; she is so sweet!! I must apologize to her & my bff because they have both tracked me down to make sure all was well & it is; I've actually been out more then home!!
I finally made a card today & for this sweet BEEday Huggabugg I used the Mojo 88 sketch; which can be found on the Mojo site & Stampin' out Alzheimer's. This is an amazing challenge blog started by Jen Tapler; if you haven't signed up please do, I am sure we either have someone in our lives who has been affected by this disease, or know someone who has.
Just a reminder this weeks Bellariffic Friday is another amazing sketch from Nicky - make sure you email your card to Em by 5pm EST Thurs to be entered in the draw for bella bucks

I've had this image stamped and waiting to be coloured for awhile- this sketch fit perfectly with the flower nesties that I wanted to use. BEEday Huggabugg is stamped with mementos black ink and coloured with copics. I paper pieced the presents so that they are away from the bug.
The DS paper is from American Crafts, and yes that's summer sun on this card; I swear I am still on my original package!! I finished it off with some Bella bonbons in cotton candy

Two Challenges & a Kit!!
I am so excited - I managed to do 2 challenges and broke open my Taylored Expression Key ingredients kit for April (March's is still waiting for some lovin'!!)
My friend Janet's challenge this week over at the Corrosive Challenge blog was to make a Mother's Day card; Janet lost her mother to cancer so big hugs to her for making this one of her challenges as Mothers Day is tough for her. I have to thank her because now my mom MIGHT get her card on time; you know it still have to get into the mailbox! Her gift is always late because I deliver it in person; which she prefers :)
I played along with the MOJO Monday 84 challenge for my card. The image is from Taylored Expressions Fresh Flowers set which is designed by the amazingly talented Nancy McKinney. The image is stamped with memento's tuxedo black ink on Taylored Expressions vanilla cs and coloured with copics.
I popped up 1 of the flowers and paper pieced the center on the big flower. I added some tiny hearts from Taylor's Multi-colored Twinkle Shapes. The image and the sentiment are both cut with nesties
I really like the kits (the March one looks really pretty...) they are definitely worth purchasing!
Thanks for stopping by & have a great night - mine so far is perfect; the Flames are losing the hockey game so I am a happy girl :) - sorry Wendy!!

Mojo Javabuggs
I love this image from Stamping Bella's Huggabuggs- Javabuggs; what more could you want but coffee with a good friend?! I am excited because I am leaving hubby at home and going to Toronto tomorrow for a visit & coffee with friends (Monday is shopping at Stamping Bella; I am excited & a little worried about the $$ I will leave there!!)
For this card I played along with this weeks Mojo Monday 82 sketch. Javabuggs is stamped with memento tuxedo black ink and coloured with copics. I added some glitter with my atyou spica pens and a jelly roll pen.
The DS paper is from American Crafts; some I have had in my stash for a long time! Because I am not a sentiment girl I added a piece or olive ribbon and 3 soft pink circles which I put on with my Kajinker
