Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella and an Announcement






Hello all!  Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing a card for Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella.  This time we were asked to create a card using this inspiration pic you see above.  Immediately I was drawn to the colors on her vivid dress so that was the direction I went in.  

I used Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy.  You can find her in the Stamping Bella Shop along with all her sassy Sistahs.

Be sure to visit Blogabella so you can feast your eyes on the glorious creations from the design team. So much wonderful stuff to see!

Speaking of design teams...I have decided to take the Summer off.  My husband and I own a small BBQ Sauce and Spice Rub business, AlbuKirky Seasonings, and when the weather gets warm that's our time to shine.  Grilling/smoking season is in peak swing right now so we are up to our barbecue aprons in pork butts, ribs, briskets, chicken, and anything else you can toss onto hot coals, or into a smoker box.  Kirk has been demoing at as many stores as he can and we've been hitting the local Rail Yard Market every Sunday to sell our wares.  This weekend he'll be at a video shoot for Disc It.  A Disc-It is like an outdoor cooking wok and we LOVE ours.  Anything you can cook on top of the stove, you can cook outside on a Disc It.  Needless to say, I'll be blogging a lot more on his cooking blog.  You see, the one thing I love more than Copics, paper, stamps, buttons, ribbon, etc...is cooking, particularly baking bread.  There is no better feeling than sitting down with family and friends and sharing a meal that you created from scratch with them.  It's a culinary love letter letting them how important they are to you.

I'll be popping in from time to time with a card, but probably not with any regularity.  When Summer fades and gives way to cooler weather you may see me apply for some teams, but in the meantime you'll find me in the kitchen :)  Visit me at AlbuKirky Seasonings, the Blog.

Hey, all!  It's time for Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella!  The theme this week was Stitching and I have to admit, I am not much of a seamstress.  Nope, there's not a sartorial bone in my body.  Several years ago I purchased a small Janome sewing machine specifically for sewing on cards, but I haven't a clue how to use it.  My friends and my mom have shown me step by step on numerous occasions how it works, but I must have a mental block.  

When forced to do a bit of sewing, I usually opt for a couple of hand stitches.  I like the rustic look and I can leave the sewing machine in the closet.  My darling victim today is Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy.  I had a bit of a coloring fiasco with her.  I was laying down the V99, which is a super deep dark purple, and out blobbed a big glop of ink right on her arm.  YIKES!  I thought Faith was headed to the trash bin.  I worked and worked on her with my Colorless Blender and finally fudged it enough to make it passable.  You can still see it.  Looks like a big bruise on her upper arm.  Maybe I can pass it off with a good backstory.  Perhaps she belongs to a weekend Fairy Fight Club.  We'll never know, however, because the first rule of Fairy Fight Club is you DON'T talk about Fairy Fight Club.  The second rule of Fairy Fight Club is YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FAIRY FIGHT CLUB!  HA!

Find Faith the Fairy in the Stamping Bella Shop along with tons of other wonderful designs AND check out all of the wonderful DT creations on the Blogabella.  LOTS of great stuff!  

Ok, I'm outie!  Until next time, stay crafty
