I love coloring and most of what i do i learned from watching incredible artists, so i call myself a wanna-be artist! i have been rubber stamping and making cards for as long as i can remember. i am hoping that i can share a piece of Bella with all of you! i can't wait to see what you do with what you've learned from Bella ART academy! truth be told that i always wanted to teach online classes but i just never had the time to do it since i also have a full time job. but since the covid-19 outbreak disrupted and turned our world upside down, i was forced to find creative ways to also weather this horrible virus. like many other states, a mandate was ordered to close non-essential retailers in rhode island - a nightmare for small business owners. you see, i've already weathered a storm -- a horrible fire back in 2008 -- the fire was devastating and took Bella out for 6 months, but somehow we managed to find a way to rebuild and here we are 12 years later.. this time might be different, it feels different --only time will tell. in the meantime, i hope to share what i've learned throughout the years i've had Bella. please bear with me since i have a steep learning curve to overcome with videos, i can color anything, but videos...not so much! when you have a second, like us on facebook, pinterest and instagram. thanks for stopping by and supporting the local mom and pops and most of all thank you for allowing us to be part of your creative journey!

i started rubber stamping over 20 years ago. my love of stamping has evolved into a paper crafting enthusiast. i enjoy teaching and sharing my love of cardmaking and papercrafting with others.
