A Belli Sneak Peek
Today's card is a sneak peek, well not really but sorta. Sweet 'n Sassy is going to be offering some of their digis in clear stamps and this is one of the sets. It's called Everyday Miracles. You will still be able to buy as a digi so you can resize and do all the cool stuff you can do with a digi, but now the ones like me who love to get their fingers inky can have an actual stamp. The DT will be previewing the sets that are going to be released as clear stamps all week and Next Tuesday June 1st we will celebrate with blog hop and release party.
Now on to the Belli challenge. Our challenge for the next two weeks is FLAT BELLI with a twist (the twist being to use our SKETCH). One of our DT members said she has been looking for a flat belli for years, well so have I!!! .LOL
My card has a couple flat bellis. I didn't knot my ribbon therefore it is a flat belli. I used scallops and I also used chalk. I look forward to seeing your flat belli!

Virus
Hi there,
I wanted to check in just in case you were wondering what happened to me as I usually post at least once a day. I have had an awful stomach virus all weekend and I am just feeling a little better but still weak from being so sick. My abs feel like I have done 100 sit ups from it. I hope to be able to create again tomorrow as I am having withdrawals from making a card it has been days. I do hope you will stop back by
