Bella Creations

Last week, I received my first Bella Stamps in the mail. I was so excited. If you are not a stamping or scrapbooking enthusiast, you will not understand the thrill of owning Bella Stamps. These rubber divas are all that and a bag of barbecue-flavored chips. Bellas have their own identity, style, and fan base. In fact, they are loved and adored by thousands of stampers around the world. I thought I was content with scrapbooking my favorite photos and memories. I was...until my friend, Kim, introduced me to the Bella Stamp line. Now, I am a Bellaholic.

The first thing I did with my Bella Stamps was stamp them on white cardstock. The next order of business was to color the stamped images with Prismacolor Pencils & Copic Markers to give them "personality" and "flair". I was amazed at the beauty of my little, colored gems. Each Bella creation possesses its own unique presence. If you are not crazy for Bella Stamps, (I am sure) as you read this post, you are wondering if I have lost my mind. Don't worry...my mind is still in tack. Yes, Bellas are rubber stamps! But they are not ordinary rubber stamps. The love & care given to their development transform plain paper and cardstock into colorful, life-like, works of art. Thanks, Emmabella!

Check out my first Bella creations (below) and let me know what you think. You just may become a Bellaholic, too!

I've gone gaga over Bellas too. I swore I wouldn't get into stamping - that would just put me behind in my scrapbooking. But that's exactly what happened!
