Em's Bella Birthday Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Birthday Blog Skip, Hop & Dance sponsored by Stamping Bella! If my blog is your first stop you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Bloggabella. If you came from Michele's blog then you're in the right place. :)

I have been a fan of Stamping Bella since I first started stamping in 2007. Over the past few years she has grown and branched out in so many ways it's not even funny. It has really been amazing to watch. I had thought about celebrating Em's birthday with a birthday Bella but I instead went for a Ketto that would show off what a {queen} Em really is...

Sadly I don't own any Kettos {yet} but my girl Shannan was sweet enough to stamp out a few for me and OMG am I in LOVE!!! I had to use pink because when I think pink I think Em. :) I colored Maisy with Copics, sponged around her with Close to Cocoa ink, and used a scalloped square Nestie to frame her. I sponged around the Two Scoops dp as well to really show off this fabulous Verve sketch. Cocoa satin ribbon, a pink button, and Tiny Twinklets finish off this little cutie. I also have my little Maisy all sparkled up with my Spica glitter pen (I know it's hard to see in the pic but this baby shines IRL).

Happy Birthday Em!!!! I hope you have a {wonderful} day and that all your birthday wishes come true!! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Anita's blog and see her fabulous Birthday Bella creation!! Have a great day!

We will announce the winner on Monday in the Splitcoast forum. MWAH!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I so TOTALLY NEED KETTOS. Let me tell you, those girls are adorable. They are SO MY STYLE. I just wish the shipping wasn't so damned high at Stamping Bella. Oh well.
I feel like her name should be Coraline (like the movie). The sponging is fantastic here!
