It's Bellarific Friday!


Do you hens LOVE Friday's as much as I do? That's what I thought! Fridays are the BESTEST! Well, for one thing - it means the weekend is right around the corner but more importantly - it means it's time for another BELLARIFIC FRIDAY challenge! Woo-hoo! This week's BF challenge was a FABBY sketch from Ebrubella.


Since my image was more wide than tall, I decided to turn the sketch for a horizontal card instead. I suppose I was SO taken by Ebru's colors on her sketch design, that I decided to use them on my project as well! LOL! Ok, you just gotta LOVE this image, right? OMG, he's just too funny. This is one of Mo Manning's images called, "Toby is TWO!" from Stamping Bella. I stamped the image onto some of Bella's Bestest Paper and colored it with my Copics. I cut it out with my oval Nesties and sponged some distress ink around the edges. Then I followed Ebru's sketch using more of this great DP from October Afternoon's Campfire collection. I matted the layers with both SU Very Vanilla and SU Night of Navy CS. The cardbase is SU Old Olive. Hmmmm, bet you'd never guess my BFF JoAnn is a SU demonstrator!!! ROFL!! Ok, I finished up adding a few brads in each corner and then tied on some Baker's Twine and a couple of buttons on top! Whatcha think? Tee-hee, me too!

Okee dokee hens, that's it from the hen house today! Be sure to hop on over to Bloggabella and see the rest of the Bella Babes' take on this great sketch! Not to mention the talented sistahood too! Next week's Bellarific Friday theme is one of my favorites - INK WHAT YOU HAVEN'T USED! So let'er rip hens!!! Dust off those Stamping Bella images that haven't seen any ink and let's get to stampin! Woo-hoo! {{{hen hugs}}}
