NOT!!! Pfffft!! It's SO STINKIN HOT here in Florida it's not funny! Come on Fall, hurry up already!! LOL!
Today's Bellarific Friday challenge was Christmas in July! So, I decided to ink up Lulu's Snowman from Stamping Bella! Isn't she a CUTIE? I stamped her onto some of Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with my Copics. The DP is from an older Basic Grey Figgy Pudding collection. I paper pieced her dress and hat and then stitched her to an SU Early Expresso mat. I used my EK Success border punch to make the alternating scallops on the bottom and tied a cute bubbly bow with some SU Early Expresso satin ribbon. To finish, I applied some Liquid Applique to the hat trim and added some Stickles to the falling snow. Brrrrrrr! Baby it's COLD outside!! Tee-hee! Wanna see some more clever Christmas ideas? Hop on over to Bloggabella and check out all the AWESOME Bella Babes and the sistahood too! They're sure to get you in the Christmas spirit! Hey, it's never to early to start. It seems like once Halloween comes, the rest is a BLURRRRR!
And now on to a bit of sad news..... today is my last post as JEANIEBELLA! Oh, how I love that title! From the first time I heard it, from da Bella herself, it has always made me smile. Being on this DT was such an honor. These are the most talented ladies EVER! And if talent wasn't enough, they're SUPER DUPER suh-weet too! Needless to say, I'll be STALKING them ALL! LOL! Okee dokee, that's a wrap from Jeaniebella!! I hope you hens have a wonderful weekend! {{{hen hugs}}}
