RAK"s, ATC's, Coloring Bellas

Okay tonight was a busy night , so I only have a few things to share and show you. This Card was a lovely RAK from My friend Connie. She is hosting a Canadian Bella Swap on SCS. I wanted to participate in her swap , but I dont own any bellastamps. She was kind enough to send me some to do the swap. She went way over the top and sent me about 4 sheets of Bellas, and this lovely card. I recognize the retiring Stampin Up stamp set as, Petal Prints and I have been fighting the urge to get it. Isnt it a cute card! I am thankful to get it, and all my Bellas. You can browse through or buy Bellas through this link Stampin Bella

Next I wanted to share some of the Bellas I have colored so far. I need to finish them up with some blender and then decide on the LO but, I am liking the way they are turning out so far. I had intended to have a card finished, but I got held up posting to my family blog about my DD#5's award ceremony for track. It seems when I imported the pictures to my computer I never selected the location. I had a heck of a time finding the pictures took over an hour. I didn't get as far on them as I would have preferred. I have a whole bin full of Colored pencils I have bought over the years for my children and myself nothing too expensive but enough brands like Colorific, Crayola, and Loew-Cornell, and EK Success, that I managed to find a few colors similar to Cool Carribean & So Saffron, and Lilac to color my images with. I am planning on using SU cardstock when I make the card. I'll be sure to post it when I am finished .

Lastly, I wanted to share some ATC's:

These are from a swap I participated in for a Central MN Get together swap of SCS'ers

The Big Friend Flower on the bottom I made, and the Black and White was made by my SU demo( nellienelson).

Some of the others were either not labelled, or separated from their label.

They were made by... scsname... as follows:

The Bunny ...Josephsmom

The FlipFlop ...Stampencamper

The girl ...NikkiS

The trout ...crazy4stamps

The Miss U...CreativeClutter

I know there are more but my pile got disrupted by my 4 yr old!

I am blaming him,actually his darling sisters who were babysitting, for lost labels and ATC's.

I think the wood pencil shavings I found in my office might have got dumped all over my table by him also, (me winking). I think he enjoyed playing in there why I was at the Track Banquet. After I clean up tomorrow I might find some time to play in my room, too. I hope that all of you find time to play today, until later.... Happy Stamping!
