I have SO MUCH cool stuff going on here it’s insane! I’m on CLOUD 9 today.
Im working on some AWESOME ideas with my new sets from A Chemisrty With Paper, that will help YOU with more Christmas ideas-WAHOOOOO!!! Maybe tomorrow:D
As well as some other news that I can’t share yet!
PLUS
Im totally excited I won the Papertrey Ink Guest stamper contest! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say Spiral Bouquet? I’m a firm believer that you cannot possibly own too many flower sets. Seriously!
I woke up to like 60 emails of congrats! That is how I found out! I usually try to wait up for the release but was SO tired. I honestly forgot I even entered anything. It was like days after I got the set, so almost a month ago! Between that, submissions, and “work” it slipped my mind.
FINALLY! 😀 What’s funny is I loved that one, but everyone else loved some of my other enteries! There was one that I thought would be the winner-if I won. You never know right?
So to hold you over I will share one of my Bella creations till I finish my other samples.
This is for all of you! I have come to know so many amazing people through SCS and my blog. Thank you for reading, and sharing my life, and passion for stamping. I even have a shopping date to Target coming soon with one person who lives near here!!
I know I sound like a cornball! LOL!
But seriously-you are all so fabulous and better yet supportive 😀 I gain so much energy and inspiration from everyone here.
So to my Friends:
I love this Sweety Bella set.
I have a local stamp store that now sells them, so I stocked up! LOL! No more waiting for shipping.
I colored the image with my Copic markers (shocker).
I feel honored people have actually emailed ME about my coloring technique!! My advice is you just have to play with the Copic’s till you finally “get it” When its colored I like to take my colorless blender, and highlight the lighter areas.
I really need to take an ART class on shaowing and where it should be cause Im way clueless about that stuff. I just wing it and pray no one notices 😀 No professional here.
The ribbon was also colored to match with my Copic’s!! Hello! Fabulous idea I got from by friend
Sherrie–>HERE!
The patterned paper is by American Crafts as is the Felt red flower. The button is by Foo Fa La.
So again thanks for sharing my JOY!!!
Till later 😀

Hey…CONGRATS!! That’s nice of me, I place my order last night, but didn’t even check the guest stamper. That’s terrifc!
This card is delicious! You are rockin’ those Copics!!! Great fun colors, and a beautiful layout!
Congratulations, Lauren! You so deserve all of the good things coming your way! And I love your SweetieBellas card — that ribbon you Copic’d (that’s a technical term… : ) ) is awesome — definitely going to have to remember that!! Big Hugs to the Guest Star Stamper!!
Congratulations! I love your Bella card. I have to say I think I’m going to put some Bellas on my christmas list. Better get that to DH soon so he can order with enough time! My local stamp store does not carry them. 🙁 I havne’t purchased any Copic markers yet. Where is a good place to look for them, I hear they are expensive.
Oh, congrats!!! I hadn’t checked to see who won yet. Love your stuff. The little Bella’s sitting w icecream are too cute!
Well, I couldnt keep the news to myself last night, LOL! Spiral bouquet……..HOORAY!!!!
Super cute Bella! And Sherrie’s blog is awesome!
Oh that card is AWESOME! I got that stamp a few weeks ago but haven’t inked it up yet!!! I should REALLY do that eh?! Love your colouring! Wish I could do that but I don’t own any Copics…lol
Have a FAB day and Congrats on all your good news!
Congratulations!! Glad to hear you’re having a fab day! 🙂
Congrats on PaperTrey. Love the sweetie bella card and all the goodies you sent me for Think Pink! Awesome girl, you spoiled me. I also saw your blue and white card in Paper Craft. You are one super busy girl…Congrats on all your accomplishments, you deserve them!!!! Thanks for sharing all this with us cyber friends!!! Chris
I am so glad good things are coming your way! It’s so well deserved! Congrats on the Papertrey win!! YEAH! I got runner up one time and haven’t submitted since. Anyhow, keep inspiring us and charging forward!!
Woo! Hoo! Congrats on the “Guest Stamper” thing! Awesome!
I love this card, too. Lots of pretty colors. Too bad you don’t live near Atlanta. My friend there is a super-duper colorer & shading specialist. 🙂 You can find her at http://thecardcastle.blogspot.com/, but she uses mostly colored pencils. NOT that I think you NEED any help with your coloring!! It always looks great to my eye!
What a good colorer you are…just had to use that word…you are enabling me to get some of those Copic markers…anyone know where to get them at the cheapest price?
Congratulations Lauren on being Papertrey’s Guest Stamper!!! Good for you, you deserve it!

Oh, I am so with you on the shadowing & shading – total beginner here, and I know my cards look pretty juvenile, so there is only one way for me – UP!! Hope we both get better over time!
