My dear friend, Julie from Michigan, has had 2 friends in the past week with major illnesses or bones out of place. I thought I would make them a couple of Bella cards because everyone knows a Bella sure does brighten up someones day when she shows up in your mailbox.

This one is for Becky. Miss Becky has been through alot. I feel as if I know her and I have not a clue what she even looks like, but she has been hospitalized for blood clots on her brain, severe headaches and some paralysis of which they still do not know why all this is happening to her. She is younger than me and I feel so badly for her. So I am hoping that this cutesy Bella will brighten her day and she will know that I am praying for her to get better!! Anyone that is a friend of Julies, is my friend at heart also!!

This was my 1st time using my copics and Julie says I did good, so I hope you all like her. I put some bling on her bedding with my Stardust gel pen, and added the baubles and ribbon. You all know I cannot just have one embellishment on a card. All of the supplies are generic, except for the ribbon, which is SU’s regal rose 5/8″ grosgrain.

Enjoy,

These bellas are so fun to play with! I am so glad that I have to be creative, and make some fun things for this event.

Today has not been such a good day for our family as we said our final “Farewell’s” to my husband’s biological father. We just found him after 21 yrs to find him full of cancer. We got to spend a little under 4 weeks with him and will treasure those weeks.
His burial service was with full honors, so if I need to say more. WOW!! The 21 gun salute was absolutely heart wrenching, and the flag folding and presenting was pristine!! My husband’s aunt was presented the flag, and then she presented it to my husband. He absolutely was flabergasted. For 1 week now he has hid his emotions and didn’t know how to feel, and today he let them out finally. Our pastor did the service and he said some awesome words. My wish was to have “Amazing Grace” played at the end, because I just adore the words to that song. It fits my husband and fits his dad to a tee. The finalization of forgiveness and being found again!

“Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T’was Grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares…
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far…
and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
….I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.”

Annie has got to be the kindest, most loving person ever. She rushed right out to make sure she sent a package to me and in the mean time told me how UNPROFESSIONAL she was at making cards. WELL I have to say she gets a gold star from me because her cards are great!!!

Of course you probably knew by the title what my next bella would be … The beautiful SNOWBUNNYBELLA.

Stars and Stripes!!!

Do you like her BLING??
