Back to Bellas

Happy Tuesday! After a most wonderful weekend away, I am finally getting back to a routine. Since I didn't get any of my normal chores done yesterday or any stamping, today has been busy! The laundry is in progress, the house is in various stages of reorganization/cleaning and I have finally finished a card!

My mother needed a card for a kitchen shower she is going to so who better to use than Chefabella??!! This is the first time I have gotten a chance to use her - cute huh?? She is multi-talented, cooking and baking! :) I had a hard time coming up with something I liked since I didn't know the kitchen colors of the person being "showered." But I just love these colors from Basic Grey's LilyKate collection and I thought they looked like a kitchen I would love to hang out in! Actually, I plan on painting my kitchen in some shade of pale green this spring so maybe that's why I liked this paper.

Cardstock: Old Olive, Whisper White, Barely Banana, Basic Grey LilyKate
Stamps: Chefabella (Stamping Bella), Sincere Salutations (SU!)
Inks: Black Stazon, Old Olive
Accessories: Watercolor Wonder crayons, Watercolor brush, Prima flowers, Silver brads, White & Clear EP, Slit punch, Dimensionals

Just before I left for my weekend trip I received some goodies I ordered from StarLitStudio. She has a terrific selection of all kinds of wonderful crafting products and my order was shipped super fast!! I ordered 2 glass jars of Primas - I've become hooked on adding these beautiful flowers to my cards!!! - a small bag of genuine Swarovski crystals which are soooooo pretty! and my very first bottle of Stickles (I can't wait to give this a try!).

Thanks for checking in! To all my customers & friends - remember PMS night this Friday!!! Please let me know that you are coming so I can have everything prepared! Thank you and have a great day!
