My SBS2 Secret Sister sent me Bella stamped images, and this one is just the coolest! Look at Bella with her guitar. She really ROCKS! I'm loving this new embossing folder. It's called allegro. Both of my girls are very musical, so this folder was a MUST for me. The ribbon is fantastic, and I think I got it at Hobby Lobby. The "you rock" is Karen Foster snap stamps. I colored the image with pencils and used gamsol. I'm very happy with the way this card turned out!
I'm happy to say that I finally know WHO sent me the wonderful Bella images! I received my SBS2 "reveal" package yesterday. My secret sister is Inking Aloud's, Lori T. Lori is so talented, and it's always so much fun to visit her blog, because all of her creations are such eye candy! We're also both on Tamara's Sketches! card design team. Very cool! I had NO CLUE that Lori was my secret sister, and she was an awesome secret sister. This is the card that I received with my reveal package. I love the red and turquoise. It's such a pretty card!
Lori also sent me an altered notepad and pen. Isn't this fantastic? I love it! Such a pretty color, and the stamping is perfect!
Look at these monogram sticky notes! So cool, all different colors, and I love the dots! Such happy sticky notes! They're sitting here right on my desk!
She also sent me lots of packages of BLING! Love it all, and I will use it all, because I just love bling! Such pretty rhinestones! Plus, look at the jumbo altered paper clip! Gorgeous! The red and brown is so striking!
The altered paper clip is worth a second look. It's so pretty! I love it! I love it ALL! Thank you so much Lori! You were just an awesome secret sister! I am one of the luckiest bloggers that I know! I have "met" such amazing women, and you're all so wonderful, generous, and kind! Thank you!
Well, if you saw my 10 p.m. post and photo from last night (below), you will know that I'm a little bit crabby today, because we got more snow! It's heavy and wet, and I need to go outside to finish shoveling it. I did a little bit of it already, and I'm tired! Ugh! Yuck! I guess all of this will just make me appreciate spring so much more when it finally arrives! Have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Ohhh I love your stuff, I'm always looking at your posts and I am wondering a stupid question... with all the ribbons and tabs you use and the embossing paper, what kinds/types of glue to you use? it's sometimes hard to add flat papers to embossed ones and vice versa, and adding fabric to your cards, I just don't know what kind of glue to use.
Thanks....
WOW! You got some awesome stuff! Love the card you made and great blog!
LOVE your bling and LOVE your rocker chick card. Those new cuttlebug folders are to die for!

Sorry.... but ATG gun? I’m new at this so I have noooo idea what that means? I made a door hanger for my friend over the weekend and I used the stick glue, I guess it was okay being that I didn't use pictures, and I used the glue gun, another okay because it was on wood... I actually saw the door hangers that your girls made and thought they were awesome, I used them as my motivation! So a big Thanks to your girls! :)
Love your bella card that emobssed background is perfect. Oops I did not know we were suppose to do a reveal, shame on me, I better get busy.
Sooooo cute Carol! I LOVE your Bella card! what fun goodies too!
Nicola xx
These are all so pretty :)
Thanks for the info on the glues, I saw some of that double sided tape in a dispenser that looks like the white out tape... I thought about using it but opted not to, I'll check out the site you sent me and see if it's the same. Thanks again. I'll be posting my door hanger project tomorrow, I hope your girls will look at it and know they were the inspiration for it! Thanks.
That Bella is awesome!! I just ordered some this morning and can't wait to get them!
Your friend is gorgeous! I love those two colors together!
Have fun playing with your new stash!! =)
Wow that bella is rockin' but I'd have to say my fav is the butterfly card...the yellows are amazing. You're a lucky gal. Take care.
