{3.24.2011} take two day four

Ready to see what day four has in store???

Today is a bella day for Emily and I as we take on a Bella Blvd stamp set.

I really enjoyed reading your comments again yesterday.  I tend to leave my “real life” out of my blog post.  Mainly because I figure you are here to see what I’ve made, not that I am looking at empty dirt filled holes.  Hopefully, I didn’t bore you with a little insight into my life.

Today, I’ll give you a break from all the chatter.
It is going to be a long post tomorrow… lots to share!!!

Today’s stamp set is Bella Fiori.
And it is an AMAZING steal right now for only $10!

Awwwww, these sweet, sweet flowers.  I think they are just so cute and fun.  After a little masking and coloring, they just seem to pop off the kraft card stock.  I decided to pair it with the get better soon saying from the to the moon and back kit.  I finished it off with a simple stitched border.

These have to be the best stamps EVAH!
I love how awesome the cling mount is and how great the rubber stamps.  I’m a Unity girl thru and thru!

Make sure you leave a comment for your chance to win a Bella Fiori stamp set!

Just a reminder, we are giving away a Unity stamp set everyday this week as well as 2 watermarks. So make sure you commment on both our blogs to double your chances to win!
