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 4~

Hello, everyone! Let's continue to celebrate the Halloween! It's the fourth 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 come and join in!

The fourth day of Halloween is all about toe tags! No you don't have to slip into the morgue and steel the tag off a body.... This challenge is about creating a tag, any which way you want to!

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

Here is my creation for this fourth challenge:

This amazing image is from the Simply B Stamps shop, created by Abigail Larson, called "Dance with Death." Isn't is just lovely?! I decide to concentrate all the color on Death and his dance partner, then leaving everything else is in grays. I used the DCWV Immortal Love stack for this tag, along with a clock die cut and a clock transparency. I also added red satin ribbon and black liquid pearls.

Simply Challenged! ~ July 30 Challenge ~ Heavy on the Embellishments!

Hello, everyone! Time for another fun challenge over at Simply Challenged Challenges! This challenge is all about the embellishments! We want to see lots and lots of flowers, bling, or anything else you can think of, on your creations!

I don't know about you but when I make cards, I don't use a lot of embellishments. On layouts, I don't really have that problem. I think because I view it the cardstock as such a large place to put embellishments and cards just look so small to me. (I'm working on it, though).

Here is my creation using Beauty Spa Rio from the Hollywood Teens Line from SBS!

13 Days of Halloween - Day 5!

Hello, all! Here we are on Day 5 of the 13 Days of Halloween! Today's challenge is:

What a wicked Web we weave... used cobwebs and spiders on your projects, heck make a huge spiderweb if you want!

For all the details and some wonderful DT inspiration, check out the SCC Blog!

This is my creation using spiders and cobwebs!

Scrap Vamp Sign. I created a sign to go on my craft room door. I used my favorite colors and Spiderella from Simply B Stamps. Isn't she so cool?! The papers are a combination of Echo Park and DCWV. The flourished are liquid pearls and craft plastic, and the alphas are from Thickers. The webs are cut from cardstock using my Cricut. And the black widow spider is also made of liquid pearls. The image was colored with Copics.

Here is a close up!

You have until October 16th at 6:00pm to upload your webbed creations, have fun spinning!

Simply Challenged Challenges - Aug 28 - 12 Months of Halloween

Hi, all! It's another challenge from Simply Challenged! It's time for our Halloween challenge for the month of August! And this month we challenge you to create a Halloween themed project that showcases movement of some kind!

What Was That? Did you see something Move? Was it a Ghost, or a Ghoul or maybe a Vampire???

 

Our Halloween Challenge this month is all about movement. We'd like you to create something that is interactive or has movement. Just make sure your use a SBS image and that it's scary and spooky, and makes us jump out of our skins!!!

For details, DT inspiration, and winners, check out the Simply Challenged Challenges Blog!

This is what I created for this challenge:

Inseparable Card. This is Emo Lola! She is a gorgeous girl; I love her straight hair! The movement on my card is from Lola's pet rat. He is attached to some twine and is able to swing around the card. The papers are from the DCWV Mariposa stack; ribbon, flower, and title are from my stash. Image colored with Copics.

Here is what I created for the hop:

 

A Little Steamy Card. I created this card last night, rather quickly (because to tell the truth, I was out of the house all day and had forgotten about the hop). But I love everything Steampunk, and have loads of products to choose from in my stash. So I looked through all my stamps and realized I had never used this one by Simply Betty Stamps. I colored her with Copics and set her on an inked piece of paper from the DCWV Tattered Time stack. The inks are Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord. The flowers are all from Recollections and the title was printed from my computer.

 

I hope you will join us in all the steamy fun!

(All posts should be up by 9:00 am Pacific Time)

Day 24 (5) - 31 (12) Days of Halloween

Hello, all! Day 24 of the 31 Days of Halloween for Smeared and Smudged which I am combining with the Day 5 project for Simply Betty Stamps.

On the fifth day of Halloween...

...My true love gave to me

Five scary spooks!

Four skeletons

Three black cats

Two trick or treaters

And an owl in a rotten oak tree!

Spooktacular Card. Very simple. This card is made with DCWV's Ghosts and Goblins paper stack. The ghost stamp is a digital from the Octopode Factory. The alphas are from Thickers. I colored the ghosts with Copics.
