Spring

I don't know about you but we've had some signs of spring here recently. My Crocus's are blooming in the front and the dogs are sniffing like crazy in the yard. I wonder which bug is the smelliest? I got this spring stamp from Elzybells at the same time I got the cute Moon Girl stamp. Anyway, I was inspired to make a fun light colored card the other day by the weather and this is what I came up with. The layout is from Beate's weekend sketch challenge from a couple of weeks ago and the colors are some extra papers that I had in my card stock container. HERE is the link to SCS for the list of what I used. I got three new colors of Spica Glitter Pens some time back and I used all three on this card. Pink, Melon, and Lemon. I LOVE the extra little oomph that they give a card!

Just a reminder that if you would like to be part of an online Bible study with myself and some of your blogging friend please e-mail me. You can find my e-mail HERE.

I hope that you make today a great Monday! See you tomorrow!

Bible Study

Hi girls! If you responding positively to my offer for an online Bible study please e-mail me personally at mom2kjs@yahoo.com so that I can get everyone's e-mail address. Thanks!

Yay!

Finally! I got the pictures uploaded! So...here they are...my Bella binders. Em has these for sale in her store and are just PERFECT for all your Bella stamp needs! I have two binders...one for Bella's and one for everything else. It is great because I ordered extra inserts so I will be able to add new stamps whenever I want. The second picture is of the binders on my shelf. Forgive the mess!

Now...because I'm weird I put each section of stamps in alphabetical order so that it is easier for me to find which one I'd like to use. I also used the little pink piece of paper that has the image/name of the Bella to make it even easier to identify the appropriate Bella. What a pain it is going to be when I purchase more though, huh?

Anyway, I just thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen these yet. And, if you are on the fence as to whether or not you should buy them....DO IT!!!

I hope your weekend has been great!

Bella Organization

Well, I was going to show you the Bella Binders that I got while I was gone but Blogger isn't letting me post a picture so that won't work...darn it! I think I will just leave this post for now but I will come back later and post a new one so that you all get notification of the post again.

I'm glad to be back and blogging again!

***Edited to add that blogger still isn't uploading pictures at 2:35 p.m....grrr!***

***Warning*** I'm going to pick apart this card today! Okay, so last night I thought this card was so super cute. This morning it is just okay. I hate it when that happens! I can see where I should have added some extra color and such but I can't take it back apart now so...it stays the way it is. What I do like about this card is the papers, color combo, and the build a brad. I also think the saying is so cute...I mean who doesn't like Live Your Bliss? Looking at it now I would add a layer under just Bella, add color around Bella and the sentiment, maybe figured out a layer behind the close to cocoa paper. Does anyone else do that? Make a card and then look at it later seeing what you could have done? I think that is just the way our crafting lives goes. But, that is good because it makes us grow in our craft, too!

If you guys are anything like me you have days when you are just more anxious than the next. Sometimes I wonder how I can help myself with it and I found a great post on Rachel Olsen's blog about that this morning. Take a few deep breaths and head on over to her blog to see how you can help relieve your anxiety a little! OH, and please check here for an announcement about a bible study that I will be starting!

So...just a reminder that I will not be posting for the next couple of days as I'll be out of town. It just happened to work out perfectly that Todd is off work while I'm gone so the kids are all taken care of and I don't have to worry...excessively at least! I hope you all have an exceedingly wonderful next couple of days! Catch ya later!
