Good morning!
Last night The Greeting Farm released yet another new installment in the awesome build-a-room series of digital stamp sets. This time around we got Build-a-Bathroom along with the Dress Up Bedtime set which gives us a cute Anya and Ian duo that not only work great in the bathroom but with the Build-a-Bedroom and Poolside sets as well.
For my first card I popped Dress Up Bedtime Anya into the shower with her towel wrapped around her. I had a lot of fun coloring up that pretty shower curtain and adding all the little shelves for her bath soaps and lovely smelling shampoos. The bath mat is actually borrowed from the original Porch set and the potted plant is from the Build-a-Living Room set while her slippers came from the Hello from Home set. That is the beauty of collecting these, you never know how the different accessory images will add to future sets and scenes with just a bit of creative thinking!
My second card uses the tile background from the Poolside set as a wall, a bunch of different builder elements from the Bathroom set with the addition of that Porch mat again. But rather than have it be a nice relaxing scene I created a bit of chaos by coloring in a busted faucet for Handy Ian to repair. I bet he wishes he could relax, unwind and be pampered but none of that is happening until that sink is fixed and everything is cleaned up, LOL!
Finally, while Handy Ian is busy toiling away, Dress Up Bedtime Anya and Ian have gone off to enjoy a relaxing spa day. The comfy loungers and fancy drinks come courtesy of the Poolside set and all I had to do was pop them on there in their fluffy terry cloth robes then color on rejuvenating facial masks and cool cucumbers on their eyes. They both look quite pampered don't you think?
And if all that wasn't enough, Marie has also added seven new large scripty digi sentiments as well. You can find those at the bottom of the what's new page in the store. ;)
Later gators!
Good morning!
My Dreamerland stamps were calling to me again and as I flipped through the binder this summer cutie munching on a slice of juicy watermelon totally caught my eye. The stamp is called I Love Every and it totally encapsulates those sweet summertime pleasures. I paired this little gal and her pup with some older Mix and Match sets, Window and Gate and Mailbox and Wall, to help set the scene of their impromptu back yard picnic. Mmmmm... I can almost taste that yummy watermelon right now. ;)
Ok, I gotta get ready for work... hope your week is off to a great start!

Hello!
Are you ready for a surprise Sweet November Vault release? As we prep for Thursday's new digi release we thought it would be fun to start getting some of the older Halloween images updated and added to the store. Our first two fiendish friends come from the September 2011 release, both of which are definitely too cute to spook.
First say hello to Mumford, the mummy. This feisty former pharaoh has risen from the grave on Halloween night, not to scare but to remind us all to chillax and have fun. It never does anyone any good to be too tightly wound. Well, unless you happen to be a mummy as well, then loose bandages can be a big problem!
And we've also got Joe Joe, the werewolf. Joe Joe spends most of Halloween night howling and howling. Not at the moon as you would think, but rather due to the tummy ache he gets from eating too many sweet treats way too quickly. Joe Joe has quite the sweet tooth and when
he sniffs out a stash of chocolates
he just can't help himself.
Now be sure to go check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group
on Facebook for Melissa's awesome Vault card. And Tee has also been busy adding the Boo Ghosts and last year's Witchwee release to the store as well. So beat that summer heat with some cool Halloween crafting!
You can always find us on
Instagram @sweetnovemberstamps and don't forget to use the #sweetnovemberstamps any time you share a card or project using SN images so we can see all of your beautiful makes!

Hey there!
I'm back on the Bellarific blog today with something a little different for this week's Scenic Saturday card. By now I'm sure most of you are familiar with the colored in scenes that I create on most of my cards. I do that because I love telling stories with my stamps. Creating worlds and various scenarios for all my little stamped characters brings me so much joy. Sometimes though a stamp comes along that sparks a story which doesn't require all the bells and whistles, instead all it needs is just one or two well placed embellishments to get its message across. The Oddball Birds set was one of those sets for me and the attitude of this Oddball Bird immediately had me reaching for some darker kraft card stock to color on, all so that I could splash a bit of white mister spray on it mimicking a bit of birdie dookie beneath him. The computer generated sentiment says, 'sorry' but by the look on his face I gotta think it should be, 'sorry, not sorry' LOL! For a subtle finishing touch on this clean and simple card I also stamped the branch using kraft colored ink on my white card base so that it would line up and complete the image when the main panel was added to the card front.
Alright friends, the next time you have occasion to send an apology card I hope you think of this crazy little Oddball Bird and have some fun with it too. It is hard to stay mad when you are laughing, right?

TGIF my friends!
This summer's first heat wave has settled down upon us and I won't lie, I am not a fan. I don't enjoy stepping outside and immediately feeling all sticky and sweaty. I find myself longing for a beach get-away with crystal clear waters to keep cool in. I think that's why I found myself drawn to this quirky flamingo from the Hello Bluebird Silly Birds set. I played around with a bit of a different design, lightly sketching in a rectangle to contain my beach scene then stamping flowers and foliage from a few different sets into the corners so that they look like they are bursting out of the scene and into the clean white card front. Originally this flamingo has a bit of a wide eyed look going on but I wanted him to be a bit more chill so I just colored in a hooded lid to really get him vibin'. A few sparkly sequins were added for some extra color and this summer time card was done. :)
Stay cool every body!

Hi friends!
Today I've got something kinda different to share. After a week of coloring cute, simpler images I was itchin' to shake things up and go with a more realistic looking image that would really stretch and challenge me. This sassy gal totally fit the bill but surprise, surprise... she isn't from a traditional digi shop. Not only do I enjoy following fellow paper crafters on Instagram but I also follow quite a few artists that I admire as well. So when Ana Marija (madebyinkyjar) shared this coloring page on Patreon I couldn't wait to print her off and start coloring. I was getting a strong SoCal kind of vibe from this stylin' cutie so I Googled 'L.A. sunset' to find inspiration for the background. This beach boardwalk scene was the perfect home for my high ponytailed, pretty in pink, girlie girl because I can just imagine her waiting for the sun to go down after a day at the beach only to find some entertaining and hip night spot to party at long into the night. If you can't tell I really got lost in the storytelling with this one... probably because I would love to break up the monotony of these semi-quarantine days with some fun of my own, LOL! Ah well, a girl can always live vicariously through her cards, right? ;)
Later gators!
