Simply Betty Challenge #4

BLING IT ON!!

This week's challenge comes from a little girl who won a challenge at SBC during Christmas.  The prize was for Betty to create a custom digi image and so voila!!  Here it is and this digi is called Emmy.   Isn't she sweet?  So yes, the challenge is to use a SBS image and bring on the bling!!  Pearls, glitter, flowers, whatever you can think of to enhance your card.



Emmy and her mom got to join us this week so check out their cards, along with the other ladies on the DT at 


Sorry I didn't get all the details put together for this card but I made it a week ago now.  LOL!!  If you're curious about anything, let me know.

I hope she enjoys it cuz it's on the way to her in the mail.  Things are always better to see in real life.  

Oh and BTW - this was the 2nd card I ended up making.  The first one I took apart and was able to save my image (phew) cuz GOODNESS GRACIOUS IT WAS UGLY!!  Funny how 2 posts ago I was high 5'ing myself cuz I kicked butt on a card and was thrilled with it.  See?  It works both ways.  LMBO!!!

Stamp Something "Something Cute"

Just a quick post today and a card to show you which I am going to enter into
When I look at this card, if I had of seen it for the first time, I would probably have shrieked in that almost inaudible tone "OMG THAT IS SO CUTE!" 

Oh c'mon we all do it!!  Every once in awhile you just sit back with that certain card that just makes you giggle with delight cuz "you did it"!  I'm not sure what "it" is but sometimes "it" shows up and "it" makes us feel really good.  LOL!!

Simply Betty Challenge #2

 Make It a Classic!
 
I am so excited to be the one who came up with this week's challenge at SBC!  I ♥ using black and white in my cards cuz there's just something kind of classy about it.  So this week's challenge has a bit of a twist.

Using a SBS image, make a black, white, optional silver Valentine's card using your choice of pink OR red, but not both, as your accent color.  

This week's prize is Be Mine Paper Pack from Echo Park, which I think is absolutely adorable!!

Please see all the details at Simply Betty Challenges and also check out the amazing cards by the other DT members.

I used a sketch from Cheri's awesome stash and if you'd like to see more check out her free sketches at Graphicat Creations.   Feel free to use it for this challenge too if you like.
