oh my goodness, amigas! mira! look at my gorgeous swaps! i had two very lovely swap sisters this round of ustamp. one from utah( i know, right?! i was so happy to meet a girl from utah on ustamp!) and one from germany! you all have seen anett's work on my blog before but this will be your first time seeing tammy's fabulous work(i just received a blog address for tammy!)! i'm so lucky! two great girls wanted to swap with me! woo hoo! ok, so take a look below at the fabulousness i received in my two packages!
oh and let me just tell you~ the snickerdoodles were to die for~but i only got to taste one, as millE took them almost immediately when i got them out of the box! lol!
oh i love this little guy~anett sent me him to help with my agoraphobia so i never have to go out alone~she sent me a little friend to always be with me! he must be scotch-irish like me, too! mira his lucky clover badge!
how lucky am i? real german chocolate(from netti) and a delicious utah truffle(from tammy)! omg!
i wish i could let you see tammy's letter, but it's personal so i'll just tell you that based on what she said to me in the letter i've accomplished one of my goals from convention~i've been inspired and have inspired, i've created and shared! inspire. create. share. this year's convention theme! oh i'm so happy! i've finished boot camp and accomplished a convention goal!
thanks for looking. please leave comments for my beautiful swap partners! have a lovely rest of the weekend!
abrazos y amor,

ciao, amigas! won't you help me wish my beautiful cousin, ja'cobie a happy birthday?! She's my little sweetheart! more like a little sister than a cousin. if you are in need of avon, she has a darling website! look at the card i created for her using my digital studio:
Happy Birthday, Cobie! love, bella
thanks for stopping by amigas!
abrazos y amor, bella
boo! trick or treat! give me something good to eat! hee hee! what did you do for halloween?
i didn't get a chance to make my tutu :0( so i dressed up like an old housewife with a big robe and a shower cap on my head and i passed out candy. i really wanted to be an 80's punk rock fairy but next year! i'll make my tutu now and it'll be ready for next year. i made homemade ice cream~bunny wanted strawberry~millE and i wanted egg nog~yeah i made strawberry! lol! i also made a chicken pot pie. when it's cold you just want to have comfort food, right?! it was a cheesy creamy delight!
i was so busy today~ like where do i get the energy lately?! i even got all of the docs done for tomorrow's ustamp project!
it's been a loooooong day! i'm happy, though, it's been fun! ok, so below you will see bunny brought one of his clients home and hung her in the living room. hee hee just kidding! it's a corpse he made to display at haunted houses. her name is michelle. i made her a lovely cowl neck dress~so project runway-ish and bunny took it off of her~so pardon her tahtahs! hee hee!
happy halloween and thanks for stopping by! abrazos y amor, bella
ciao, amigas! i'm hoping you'll help me wish my little brother, mikey, a happy birthday! yes, today! i know, right?! it is awesome to have a birthday on halloween!
below you will see the little card i created for him(from a designer template~with some simple changes from moi!) in my digital studio~took totally less than five minutes to create.~yes, really! isn't that great?! in less than five minutes you can make something lovely for someone to let them know you care for them~even in my digital studio!
now if you're a my digital studio pro, you'll notice that on this card i changed the text on the front and added staples where a flower was~voila a card better suited for a male!
thanks for stopping by!

ok, i know i'm later than i'd like to be in posting this but i think i told you about the nature hike date bunny took me on last saturday. well, i totally loved being on the lagoon trail and trekking over to farmington canyon/pond! it was an absolutely lovely day and the fallen leaves were gorgeous! i couldn't resist, i had to pick up some and bring them home~oh and i also picked up some acorns! so i had to share the remnants of that lovely day and date with you! mira below:

ciao, amigas! i wanted to share with you a little card i created for one of my boot camp workshops. when i saw the stamp i knew i would have to create a card with it because i love thanksgiving! i cannot believe it's so close but yet still too far away! i'm craving roasted chicken and gravy with fresh baked rolls among other things! yum! i cannot wait for thanksgiving dinner. ok, so anyway(before i go off on one of my random tangents lol!) here's the card:
Recipe:
stamps: wandering words (holiday mini catalog)
paper: whisper white cs, kraft cs
ink: stampin' write markers~elegant eggplant, chocolate chip, real red, pumpkin pie
accessories: champagne mist and platinum shimmer paint (holiday mini catalog), pumpkin pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, eyelet border punch
thanks for looking!

ok, i was so bummed because like i totally thought i wouldn't be able to get my digital studio to work on my new computer. i kept receiving this windows vista error or something and i was freaking out because i totally didn't want to miss the opportunity to be certified. so of course you have to have a copy or access to a copy of my digital studio to be able to participate in the certification process. ok, so a few nights ago i told bunny i was going to try it again~try putting the software on my computer and then bringing it up on my computer to see if it worked and it did! woo hoo! i was beyond stoked! well then i read on the demo website that there's a mistake on the certification registration form and i don't have until 1 november to get certified! i have until 31 october! so on top of boot camp, ustamp, and just every day life as a household coo and ceo~ i plopped busting out my certification requirements on top of all of that! lol! ok, so i did it! i passed all of my certification quizzes and i created a card(which was another requirement) so here's my lovely creation(yes, i did it from scratch! i didn't use a designer template or photo only template~i used a create your own template! i know, right?! i was pretty brave! lol):
outside:
inside:
it's a birthday card for my lovely sister in california. i hope she loves it!
thanks for looking!
