It has been awhile since I have posted any artwork and I have been up to so much, craftwise and lifewise. Although I have to say that I haven't had as much crafting time as I'd like, now that Alice has four therapy appointments a week. I 've been wracking up the car mileage driving to a and fro, and had forgotton how much gas costs. I had quite a bit of sticker shock at the pump, can you believe it is just uner $4.00/ gal here?!!! This could seriously cut into my supply fund, lol. Here are some cards that I have done this past month for swaps. I am hosting a swap monthly on the Bellaholics anonymous group and with the excpetion of a few minor mishaps it has gone really well. It pushes me to come up with new ideas, try new sketches, and keeps me active in the group. The first image is cupcakebella, from Stampingbella, my all time favorite Stamp Company. You Rock, Em!!! The paper is from Heidi Grace, heart shaped brads from MM, and ribbon from walmart ;) I made this for group #1 in my last months Valentine's swap and I like how it turned out. I used a sketch that I found on SCS.
The second card is one I made for my lovely Bella sistah, Sandie Larson. She is such a sweet gal, and super creative. You should check out her work on her blog, hotpepperzmom.blogspot.com.
She did the most amazing card with cosmobella for the yellow group in the BA colors of the rainbow swap, hosted by Ami Cook.
I used paper from the DCWV "Pockets full of Posies" stack, and some random cardstock from my stash. I think it is from paperbilities. The image is flowahbella with matching sentiment, both from stampinbella. Ribbon also from Wallyworld. I like how it turned out, the colors are nice and soft. This sketch from SCS is one I have used a lot lately. I'd really like to use it for a future make and take. I need to think something up using my CTMH stamps.
