Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the greatest Sistah of them all!

Look what I got on a day I was having a splitting headache and came home early from work. I was lying very comfy on my couch when the mailman woke me up, but handed me this huge package with this inside!

I got: really beautiful rub-ons, a cute stamp set, the gorgeoust rainbow color ink pad, sticky strip, lots of flowers, a tweezer set, beautiful baubles, very pretty pink designerpaper, some yummy treats and a very lovely card. I truly have the greatest Bella Sistah of them all!!!!
Bella hugs,

Look what I got!

Yesterday my sister and I took our parents out to dinner to my favorite pancake restaurant, they make the most delicious pancakes. We went there to sort of celebrate my birthday (October 26th) and sisters birthday (November 12th). As a thank you gift my mom made us these cute chocolate boxes filled with chocolate treats! Jummy!!!! The brown and pink is mine (ofcourse, hihi) and the red one is my sisters. Aren't they adorable????

Bella hugs,

More Bellas

Here are two more Bella cards that I made recently. The first one is for the host of a really cool swap. I used Fashionistabella, she is so fun to use and combines really great with Cuttlebug folders!

The second one I made was kinda based on the color challenge from the Bellaholics group but I didn't have cream colored paper so I used the color white instead. This card is with Feelabella and it was for my grandma when she was in the hospital for a few days.
Bella hugs!

But finally it is Saturday and I am taking the time to update my blog with the wonderful cards that I got from my fabulous Bella Sistah Janet!

This lovely pink one is for my birthday. I totally love it!!!!

This one is to wish me a happy Halloween, well that shouldn't be a problem with this rocking card!

And this little rockstar is soooo cute. So Janet thanks for sending me these awesome cards and be on the look out for some cards coming your way :-)

Also many thanks for the images that I keep receiving, you really rock as a Bella Sistah!

Stamping Bella - For you

Blog candy from Janet

Please visit this cool blog from my bella Sistah Janet Rossi, she is offering really cool blog candy!

The worlds greatest Bella Sistah: Janet Rossi

I've been matched up with the worlds greatest Bella Sistah: Janet Rossi!!!!!
She keeps sending me gorgeous cards and man the packages that I received from her are just over the top!!

This is the first card that I received from her, it is sooo cute!
Then this 'little' (not LOL) envelope reached my mailbox. It contained two(!) Bellas: Loveybella and Rockabella, three little bags witch microbeads, glitter, and shape brads (sooo cool!) and a Pink Pirouette ink pad from Stampin' Up. I love Stampin' Up but we can't buy it here in Holland, so to get this is my fave colour was just great!!!!!
This stunning card was also in the first envelope. I love the colours!
And if that wasn't enough, and believe me I was already overwhelmed with the first package a very large envelope was waiting in front of my door the next day and one surprise after another came out of the envelope. It felt that is was my Birthday already (and that one is next month but I guess my relatives won't spoil me for my Bday as much as Janet did with this package LOL).

In this package I found: Pink Pirouette cardstock (just lovvvveeee pink!!!!)Pink Piroutte ribbon, a very cute SU stamp set (love it!!!) two (!) more Bellas: Clickabella and Underthehoodybella, Zig Markers, Heidi Swapp photocorners, Susan Branch cards and envelopes, SU rub-ons (so gorgeous), a little alphabet stamp set, more SU ribbons, and double sided Mounting tabs.

So here is a a very BIG thanks for my great Bella sistah Janet Rossi!!!!!

Nog meer Bella kaartjes/ Just a few more Bella cards

Ik ben echt helemaal verslaafd aan het maken van Bella kaarten de laatste tijd, maar ze zijn ook zo ontzettend leuk. Ik ben, geloof ik, ook een beetje verslaafd aan Stamping Bella's kopen, maar ik kan het gewoon niet laten, mijn derde bestelling is nu onderweg, ik kan haast niet wachten.

Deze drie kaartjes heb ik pas geleden gemaakt.

I am sooo addicted to making Bella cards these last couple of weeks, but they are just too cute!!! I am, I think, maybe just a little bit addicted to buying Stamping Bella stamps at the moment, but I just can't help myself, my third order is on its way and I can't hardly wait for them to arrive! These three cards I made in the last couple of weeks.

Elizabella (Happy Birthday) for the daughter of my colleague.

Flowahbella (Welkom back) for the same colleague who returned to work from her maternity leave in the middle of my summer holiday.

I-can't-see-a-thingabella (Happy Birthday) for my grandma Corry who has turned 83 today!

Bella kaarten voor hostesses van swap/Bella cards for hostesses of swaps

Op de Bellaholicsanonymous Yahoo group heb ik meegedaan aan twee swaps. De eerste was een images swap, daarvoor moest je 13 x 2 keer een Bella stempel afdrukken en daarvoor kreeg je dan 12 x 2 keer de afdrukjes van de andere leden van de swap terug. Voor de hostess van deze swap Shannon Roberts heb ik deze kaart gemaakt.

De tweede swap waaraan ik heb meegedaan was een JATC (Jumbo ATC) swap, in plaats van het gebruikelijke ATC formaat hebben we dus hiervoor grote ATC's gemaakt. Deze swap werd gehost door Heidi Walczak en dit is de kaart die ik voor haar heb gemaakt (met heel veel hulp van mijn zus Jacqueline).
