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!

13 Days of Halloween - Day 2

Hello, everyone! It's Day 2 of the 13 Days of Halloween and today's challenge is:

Witches' Brew - Create anything witchy; a Witches hat, a Cauldron, anything witchy, and anything but a card!

This is my Witchy creation!

A Witchy Hat! I really wish this was bigger so I could wear it for Halloween! It's more child-sized than anything. I used papers from MAMBI, flowers and tulle from my scrap bin, and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The image is Little Witch Ariel. She is just the cutest, most innocent-looking witch ever!

Be sure to visit the SCC Blog to participate in the Halloween fun!

And here is what I created!

October Notebook. This lovely witch is Witchy Wednesday! I don't know about you all but I right lists and jot things done constantly. I have notebooks all over the house and I thought "Why not make a fun and pretty notebook to write all those things down! This one is going to be for October! (and all the things I must get done, etc...)

 

The papers are from MAMBI, the alphas are from Thickers, the bling is from Zva Creative. I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the ovals, Christmas Red Stickles, Majestic Purple Liquid Pearls, and Copics to color my image.

 

 

What do you think? I hope this and the other creations for this hop inspire you!

Jude & the Rockers Halloween Blog Hop

Hello, all! We're having a little fun with the new Jude and the Rockers Halloween collection today! Come join in on the Simply B Stamps blog hop to celebrate the impending arrival of Halloween and the recent release of these awesome stamps! I know I can't wait for the 31st of October and anything Halloween is welcome! Lol.

These are the cards that I created with the Jude & the Rockers Halloween stamps:

Frightful! Card. This little guy is Little Skeleton Oscar. I love his little skeleton costume and used the bones as a theme for the card so I used paper that showed a skeleton's ribs for a background.

Happy Halloween Card. This is Little Pumpkin Lilly. She is the cutest pumpkin! My daughters both had pumpkin costumes as babies and this reminds me of these wonderful times.

Boo Card. Here is Little Bat Ali. She's a cheeky one! And I loved coloring in her striped outfit!

RAWR! Card. This is Little Monster Jude. He is the most adorable monster and I don't think he could frighten anyone but he'll do his best I'm sure ;)

Beware Card. Here is Dark Fairy Brittany. I love her face, full of mischief. She may be a fairy but there's nothing sweet and innocent about her!

Trick or Treat Card. This adorable witch is Little Witch Ariel. I love her sweet and innocent look (completely opposite of her above friend). She is such a darling witch and I must admit this is my favorite of all the cards I created.

Day 16 - 31 Days of Halloween & Scraps of Darkness

For the Scraps of Darkness Halloween Blog Hop post, click here.

Hello, all! I've got another Scraps of Darkness layout for you, for Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween over at Smeared and Smudged! The image I used here is from one of my favorite gothic artists, Victoria Frances. The woman in the photo reminds me of all things related to nature (in a witchy way)so I went with a nature-inspired color scheme.

Wiccan Layout. The papers are I used are orange cardstock, and Moxxie's Apothe-scary and Dead on Arrival from the Midnight Dreary Collection. The fence die cut is from the Moxxie Midnight Dreary Die Cut Pack. The chipboard tree is from Scrapmatts as are the chipboard flowers, which I inked black with Ingvild Bolm Black Coal Ink. The orange leaves are from Prima and the green from my stash. The branches are Kaisercraft Acetate Shapes. The white and orange flowers, metal embellishments, and Peeled Paint Distress Stickles on the alphas are from previous Scraps of Darkness kits. I used an Inkadinkado cobweb stampon the background web paper and inked the edges of the cardstock with Tim Holtz's Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink.
