Bella Xmas

Hi!  I have my first Christmas card of the year to share today.  I used my very new Wild Rose Studio's Bella on Bauble!  After always admiring Rinne's holiday cards, I can finally join in at Christmas Card Challenges.   The challenge this week (#36) is to use something new.

Oh, isn't Bella adorable as usual?  I couldn't resist these when I saw them so I had to order them right away.  The sentiment and green paper is also from Wild Rose Studio.  I went simple again with this card layout.

I went with non-traditional pink/purple colors for this card.  I added Stickles to the stars and Flower soft to Bella's Santa hat.

So I was gonna say how the name Bella always reminds me of Twilight these days.  And how shocked I was that Kristen Stewart could cheat on Rob Pattinson!  Like what?!  and like why?!  The other guy was old and married and had kids.  Really?!  

But now that seems unimportant after finding out that there are no online stores that are allowed to deliver Copics to the island of Oahu.  (Edit:  Let me clarify that there are online stores that can deliver to the other Hawaiian Islands but NOT to Oahu).  Like WHAT?!  I think I could lay down in the woods and cry like Bella after Edward leaves her.  So what are the crafty Copic coloring Oahu folks supposed to do???  We have basically one choice and a few smaller crafty stores to go to.  Before I start complaining and wailing I will be fair and check out that store and try not to faint if the prices are astronomical or if the supply is low.  It just feels so unfair, so un-American to have our choices cut down.  Yeah, I know Copics is Japanese.  Maybe I gotta try Korean ShinHan?

So are there any other Oahu crafters that read my blog?  Where are you gonna buy your Copics from???

Thanks for reading!
