New DT For Me!

So a few things  have changed for me over the past few week.  As mentioned in my post prior to this one, I had to step down from the LLB design team and choose only 1 to be on cuz of work.  UGH!  So, as Betty owns both The Burtonesque Dolls blog AND the new blog Simply Betty Stamps challenge blog, I have done a transfer and am now a designer for the Simply Betty Stamps challenge blog DT and am happy to say I am the DT coordinator!  Woo!!  I am soooo looking forward to playing with this group of girls.  They are so talented and alone with Betty's amazing stamps we'll have a blog that's gonna ROCK BLOGLAND!! 


If you would like to check out the new blog and be a part of our future challenges please hop on over and check things out and maybe even become a follower.  Would LOVE to see some familiar people joining in on all the fun!!

Lil Lolita Challenge #13


I just LOVE this next challenge at Lil Lolita Boutique challenge blog.  And also, some sad news.....unfortunately I have to start work full time - I KNOW HOW RUDE!! - so this is my last post with the Lil Lolita`s.  OH!  Well, it won`t be my last post with a LL girl but with as a member of the design team.

I was so glad that it was GIRLY GIRL challenge cuz I wanted to make it extra special and extra gorgeous in dedication of all the truly special and gorgeous women I made friends with in this group.  I am fortunate to still be stalking them!!  (evil laugh)

Thank you Kellie, for the great opportunity for including me as a designer.  You have a big heart. FUN, dedicated, kind and will do very well with your business (like you aren`t already - lol).  To all the other ladies on my team - the creativity you put out was absolutely amazing and I was so honored to be part of this term with you.  Thanks for all your votes of confidence when I had none!!  You are all truly full of inspiration!!


I hope you have all enjoyed my cards and I hope they have helped give inspiration for anything.

Good morning all you SBS fans!!  If you've come to my blog from the oh so ever creative Debbie P's Place (oh she's good isn't she?) then you're on the right track!

Today's blog hop brings us NEW stamps brought to you by Betty and her creative artists at Simply Betty Stamps and not 1 but 2 new SBS lines. 

The first one I will show you today is Jude and his Shenanigan Crew.  Jude is Betty's little 2 year old toddler and she's based this cutie line around him.  I think that is just the sweetest!! 

This image is called Mikey - which I picked because that's hubby's name.  


 My second image is Lizzie.  


This image is Tootsie from SBS's new line of Punky Teens.  


All these fun new images you will see as you hop along are now available at Simply Betty Stamps.  Where all the Original Emo Kids Cushion Mounted Rubber is on sale.

Four lucky winners will receive three free digis of their choice from these two lines!  All you have to do is leave us some loving at Simply Betty Stamps!  Of course it is always appreciated when you leave everyone some lovin'!

The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge #17


I was sooooo freakin' excited about this challenge and wanted to make more but phew I was happy to get this one out.  I was thinking of making "Chocolate Covered Witches Warts".  I was going to use chocolate covered Reese's pieces.  You can buy them in little round bite sizes now....but I ate them.  :(

Willy Wonka needs help! Create a new candy box, candy bag, chocolate bar, any fun and funky new candy you would find in Willy Wonka's factory.  The possibilities are endless here. 


So would you eat my Web Covered Milk Chocolate Bar???  Well you can't, I ate that too.  :)


THIS WEEK'S PRIZE!!


So, you wanna be a doll??  We are currently looking for four more crafters to be on our DT, therefore we will be choosing the 4 winners from this challenge.

Back to School Emo

So I actually did this card for a challenge and used their sketch.  Only problem was...it was last MAY!  BROL!!  OH MA GAWD I`m such a nerd!  I had bookmarked to this particular sketch challenge but linked the post I had seen that day and not the original blog.  ha ha ha!!  So now, I have no challenge for this.  I had spent some time looking for one, couldn`t find one and don`t care anymore.  LOL!  So today this is just a share card for your eyes.  

My last Back to School Emo `Betty` card from Simply Betty Stamps`s new digi line.  These are just the cutest images!!!  

I actually made an easel card!!  I popped up the little notebook sheets and same with the pencil.  Looks cool if I do say so myself!  :)

Stampin' For the Weekend Challenge

This is the first time I've entered into Stampin' For the Weekend challenge and although I didn't make the card on the weekend, I did color this  image on the weekend.  I'm sure it's not a requirement tho.  hee hee. This week's theme is "Anything Goes".  I did use the sketch from Cute Card Thursday but I was too late to enter that challenge.  DOH!

Isn't she a cutie?  This is "London" from the Back to School Emo digi line from Simply Betty Stamps.  She's a digi stamp and available now at SBS.  I love this color combo and have no idea why.  It's strange to me that it works.  LOL!
