Simply Betty Challenge #3

Anything But A Card

This week at Simply Betty Challenge we got to do "something" .... "anything" other then a card and WOO HOO this was FUN!! 

Sooooo I decided to make "something" that will hold more candy.  MORE WHAT?!!  MORE CANDY!!!  I won this crafty little box from Creative Accents awhile back and could never figure out what to do with it until now.  My image is the ever so handsome Christian Vamp digi from Simply Betty Stamps.   I've filled the box with eyeball gum balls. 

So are you ready to join in on our fun this week?!!  I am soooo looking forward to seeing other things then a card.  Don't get me wrong, I ♥♥♥ cards but it's just fun to switch it up every once in awhile. 

Check out this week's prize and the

All About Betty Blog Hop

ALL ABOUT BETTY BLOG HOP

The gals from The Burtonesque Dolls, Simply Betty Stamps and Simply Betty Challenges figured it was a good time to put together a blog hop for our very own

SIMPLY BETTY!

October is Betty's favorite month and since there is so much happening in October why not do it just before?!!  This way we can get things warmed up for the whole October and Halloween theme.  Kinda like an appie!! 

Since Halloween is her favorite time of year you will be seeing mostly, if not all,  Halloween cards and as well, we have all used an image of only the Betty Emo's. 

Betty you are such a generous, kind, giving, thoughtful, warm, talented friend and I so appreciate the way you are!!  I just wanted to say thanks for everything you`ve allowed me to be a part of over the past while and let you know it`s very much appreciated.  I have had such a wonderful time and am looking forward to continuing a wonderful friendship. 

Congratulations on your new blog and I wish you all the continued success you so rightly deserve!!!  Your images are absolutely FANTASTIK and so much fun to work with!!  Thanks for bringing me closer to the dark side.  LOL!!  It`s not so dark after all!! 

So I decided to use the very first Emo Betty along with some fab Bo Bunny papers.  I kinda made it a cutesy card this time but I absolutely luv this image.  

Without further ado, let's check out some more inspiring cards from all the ladies.  Please note because this is an appreciation blog hop there are no prizes.  It's just for fun but the ladies would love some luvin' from you anyway!!

Simply Betty Challenge #3

Simply Betty Challenge #3
Non-traditional Colors!!

This week we have such a neat challenge for you and I know a DT member or two had a bit of trubs with this one. I suppose that's why it's called a challenge cuz believe me, even WE have troubles sometimes!! 

The idea is NOT to use the traditional colors of orange, purple, black or green for your project but to come up with a new color combo for Halloween. As you can see I chose brown and pink!!  It's one of my favorite combo's but I really used it cuz I luv the paper I used for it. [See deets below]  This is Drew from the Punky Teens digi line at Simply Betty Stamps.  Isn't she wonderfully wicked?!!! 

THIS WEEK'S PRIZE:

Lola Mummy Rubber Stamp  

*******Halloween Emos in RUBBER are now in and ready to ship so if you've been eyeballing a MUST HAVE make your way over to Simply Betty  Stamps to check it out!!  

So what do yo think?!  I would LOVE to see your non-traditional colors as I have made sooooo many lately with the traditional colors.

Check out all the beauty inspiration over at Simply Betty Stamps challenge blog.  I LUV THEM!!  Also check out all the details for this challenge over there as well!!

I've also used a very cool sentiment that my IRL friend Cheri made up.  Thanks Cheri!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY MEAKIN!

Happy 1st birthday Meakin!!

I thought I would share with you all what a 1st birthday card might look like.  I could have gone really babyish but I'm thinkin monkeys are still a good image to use.  I can see my little nephew being a little monkey himself.  LOL!!  I put white flower soft on the pom pom and fun flock on his party hat.  I've also put glitter on the flame and I was lovin the cork on the sides.  

Hope you have a great day little one!!
