New SBS Releases! ~Betty Boo-doirs Halloween and Betty Boos Halloween!

Hello, everyone! My favorite time of year is nearing! I can't wait for Halloween. How about you? I happen to share this favoritism for the time of spooks, ghouls, and monsters with Betty from SBS. And if you are a fan of Simply B Stamps, you know she goes sketch-mad about this time of year, to get ready for Halloween.

She has not disappointed this year either! Today, I get to share one of the releases she has ready for you (I did not have time to do the release of the Betty Boos Halloween but I did go an purchase them to play with later! Yipee!). This release is called the Betty Boo-doirs Halloween. Check them out!

This is green-eyed devil is Devilish Betty. I couldn't get "Devil with a Blue Dress On" out of my head, hence the blue dress. Lol.

This stunning creature is Franken Babe Betty. She reminds me of the Rockabilly style. Love her high-up-there hair!

This ghostly apparition is Spirited Betty. I love the wispy outfit she has on. 

This seductive beauty is Witchy Mrs. Boo. She is my favorite from this collection. That hair is just too much fun to color! 

This is Betty Boo's House. This was so different to color but oh, so much fun! I don't usually color buildings or backgrounds. I might just begin to color more of them now :)

Please make to check out the SBS Blog and the DT Blogs (listed below) to check out more inspiring creations and the other release! And on the way, make sure to stop by the SBS Store to get your own!

It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 13~

Hello, everyone! It's Halloween! It's the last day of the 13 Days of Halloween over at the Simply Betty Stamps Blog! The 13 Days of Halloween are an annual celebration at SBS throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises! So stop by and join in!

The thirteenth challenge of the 13 Days of Halloween is to create a Halloween card using black, white, and one other color. You cannot use skin tones; just black, white, and the color of your choice.

Check out the Simply B Stamps blog for all the fun details!

My project for this challenge:

 

 I used my favorite color combo for this one; black, white, and red. The images are Lucy Lycan and Hooowlloween Miller.

I have been amazed at all the entries we've had over the course of this celebration! Continue the good work and show us your very best for this final challenge!

It's the 13 Days of Halloween! ~Day 1~

Hello, everyone! It's finally that time of year again when we Halloween fanatics get in gear for our favorite month! OCTOBER! All the excitement leading, of course, to one of the most awesome holidays ever! HALLOWEEN!

And to celebrate this fabulously spooky time, Simply B Stamps is having the 13 Days of Halloween! Thirteen days throughout the month of October full of challenges, prizes, and surprises!

The first day of Halloween is full of creepy visuals. The first challenge is to create your very own creepy background. You can use mists, inks, stencils, embossing folders, and anything else you can think of to create a background for your project.

Check out the Simply B Stamps blog for all the fun details!

Here is the project I created with my creepy background:

 

I used the Steampunk Little Witch image for this project, which I will be turning into an journal cover. I started this background with light gray textured cardstock, misted it with Lindy's Stamp Gang mists (Afternoon Delight Denim, Cattail Copper Brown, Witch's Potion Purple, Ponderosa Pines Olive), then used the Tim Holtz Flourish stamp with Embossing Ink and clear embossing powder. I then used Distress Inks in various colors over the entire paper. I covered the embossed pieces with newspaper and ironed over it to get the embossing powder off. I then inked more on the paper, splattered it with water, and used a cobweb stamp and embossing powders from Lindy's in Terra Cotta Plum and King Midas Gold. I used Black and Gold Adirondack Paint Dabbers on the edges then affixed the image of the Little Witch (which is colored in Copics) to the cover.

Make sure to check out the challenges, fun, and other DT projects over at the SBS Blog! And check back on the 5th for the next 13 Days of Halloween challenge!

SBS Release! ~Mistresses of the Dark Betty Boos~

Hello, all! It's been a hectic last couple of days for me. What with cub scout preparations, my son's birthday tomorrow, and a whole lot of crafting, I am getting worn out! Lol! But boy, I don't know what I would do without the crafting, since it seems to balance everything else. When I get stressed there is nothing else I would rather do than close myself up in my studio and create.Do you all find that true for yourselves?

So now we have a cool new release from Simply B Stamps! These are just too cute and are going to be a whole lot of fun to use in some Halloween projects!

Here is what I used the Mistresses of the Dark Betty Boos for:

 

Betty Vacuum Witch

 

Mrs. Betty Munster

 Betty Dead Man's Toe

 

 Betty Addams and Abby

 

Betty the Book Witch

 

Betty Mistress of the Dark

What do you think of these femme fatales?  I think they are fantastic and so much fun to color!

Betty Burlesque Sneek Peak - Preview Day 4

Hi, everyone! Day four of the Burlesque Bettys preview. Today's image is more subdued than the others but so lovley!

Today we have Betty Love Song!

My theme for this preview was Halloween!

A Halloween Treat. This is my version of Betty Love Song. I decided to color her dress green like in the Burlesque movie since it went with the color scheme I wanted to use. I love the color combo of lime green, purple, and orange!
