It's another KRAFTY Friday...

Hiya Bella-riffic peeps!
Yep, it's Friday already...WHERE does the time GO?

Today I have two posts, so thanks for stickin' with me.  Today in Bella land we are gettin' Krafty again...as in KRAFT, NAVY, and GREEN on our projects!

Before I get to my card today, I have to send a HUGE shout-out to my sweet friend Lisa Hetrick.  Lisa was clearing out some stash now that she's diving in full-force to her AWESOME new illustrations for Avocado Arts, a new stamp co.  You can see more about them HERE.   Anyway, Lisa out of the blue just asked me last week if I wanted her Bella stash and I was unaware of how HUGE it was until she sent pics...she sent me over 20 Bellas- ALL from the original Bella line and ALL that I did not have.  In fact, like 8 of them were brand new!   Thank you SO SO much sweet Lisa- I used "Balloon-a-bella" on my card today, one of the stamps I got from her and I just adore her!

I added a Webster's Pages resin Heart as it was the perfect size for the balloons and paper pieced her dress with pretty much the ONLY thing CLOSE to Navy Blue in my stash (not a fan of that color I guess, LOL!)   I'm really not, it's kind of funny.  I own NO navy cardstock, no navy Copics, and no patterned paper.  I don't have anything "against" the color per se, but I'm thinking subconsciously, I definitely don't like it, LOL!

Oh well.... THANKS for stopping by today and PLEASE go check out the awesome Forum now that it's been revamped.  We are even starting the "Bella Book Bunch", a monthly Book discussion group and would LOVE for you to join us!  Stamping Bella is such a fun community and we'd love for you to join us!

Last but not least, don't forget to visit the other Bella Babes:

What a big score for you and what a sweet thing for Lisa to do. Gr8 card Jess, I love the paper piecing and that charm is perfect. :) I like navy but using it to color is a bit hard, I agree. You did a fantastic job! ;)
