so many seeds~ so little time...


Ain't that the truth?? Seems every day just keeps gettin' shorter and the chores gettin' longer, don't it? Where DOES the time go?

So, whatcha think of Stella? I hope you all never tire of my Stella cards. I SO loveee Stella!! Of all the stamps I own, she is truely my favorite character.

Do you know what today is? Course the hens know what today is.... it's Bellarific Friday! We only has SMARTY hens in the hen house!! Hmmph!! I had been wanting to try a ruffle on a card for awhile now so I thought I'd give it a try since Shannanbella's sketch lended a perfect horizontal area for one. Thanks Sistah! So I started with this super cute Sassafrass Lass DP which had this little scalloped edge on one side. It made a perfect border for my ruffled ribbon too! I had ordered some Scor-Tape just for this purpose and it worked like a charm. I just squished up the ribbon and the Scor-Tape held it perfectly. I matted the DP with some blue CS and stitched it to the PTI Dark Chocolate CS. I stamped "Stella Digs It" from Stamping Bella onto some SU Very Vanilla CS and colored her with my Copics. I cut her out with my Scalloped Oval Nesties, chalked around the edges and adhered her with a few dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of CS and inked the edges as well. I placed the sentiment under the crocheted flower and finished with a yellow brad to match Stella. Ya dig it??? Me too!! hehe! Be sure to leave a cluck below and tell me what you think of her. I hope you have a great morning.... but I'll be baaaaaack!!!

Next week's Bellarific Friday theme is Valentine's Day! Ahh, ain't that sweet? Yuz' gonna make sumthin' for yer honey anyways, right? Here's yer challenge... Whip sumthin' up this weekend and send it to Emily by Thursday, k? Come on and join the fun! Oh, and don't forget to pop over to Bloggabella for a peak at all the eye candy using Shannanbella's sketch. Dem sistah's jest keep amazin' me ev'ry week.

  8. I really really like this one. The colors are fab and the textures are great! I like that the brad matches Stella's dress. (Wish I had a magic spade like Stella.)
