SBS Challenge! Betty of the Month - January!

Hello, everyone! I have something special for you today! Betty over at Simply B Stamps has a Betty of the Month program going on. And with it, an all new challenge. This challenge is not on the Simply Challenged Challenge Blog but on the Simply Betty Stamps Blog. So go on over and check out the challenge and the awesome image that she has in store for you this month.

The challenge is using a brown and creme color combo with the addition of glitter. Here is what I created with the new image: Show Girl Betty.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you join in this challenge!

13 Days of Halloween - Day 11!

Hello, all! Day 11 of the 13 Days of Halloween is here! And today's challenge is as follows:

Getting closer to the end. Halloween is nearly here! I am beyond excited! My favorite Halloween dessert is a Carmel apple, maybe Candied Apple, but a sweet one non the less. I usually put out a large range of sweets and Carmel and Candied Apples are a must!
 

Now onto the "sweets"

Candy Corn or Carmel Apples? Use either one of these color combos: Orange, Yellow, and white or Carmel and Lime Green only... black is allowed as a base.

 

So here is my creation using the Caramel Apples color scheme (I hate candy corn, LOL!):

Demon Card. This is Druscilla the Demon; very lovely for a demon I think. I used some Echo Park Chillingsworth papers, a flower from my stash, Copics to color the image, and liquid pearls for the flourish.

Saturday Steampunk 3-19-2011

Hello, all! Here we are on another Steampunk Saturday! I am a huge Nathan Fillion fan. I watch Castle every Monday and I loved Firefly. Wish the networks would bring it back! The Science Network is actually airing reruns of it, so at least that is a start! Lol! Then Nathan Fillion was featured on this week's Entertainment Weekly cover and I was inspired to do a page about that awesome, amazing show. I watched a couple of episodes to get inspired and noticed the connection of steampunk to the show. The aesthetic of the show is a cross between old westerns and space travel. So here is my page dedicated to one of my favorite television shows of all time! Firefly!

Firefly layout. I found this photo on the Internet and I loved the panoramic look to it so I used it for this page. The papers are from the Tim Holtz Lost and Found paper stack. I used my Cricut Expression and the Indie Art cartridge to cut out the gears. I misted the background with Lindy's Stamp Gang Burnt Umber Moon Shadow Mist. The stars are stamped on with a star stamp and Adirondack Heirloom Gold paint dabber. The dots are Heirloom Gold and Pearl paint.

I also made some gears using a mold I made and UTEE in platinum and bronze. Here is a link to my tutorial on how to make your own embellishments with UTEE: http://scrapsofdarkness.com/TutorialUTEEembel.html.
