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:

*******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.

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!!


Stamps: Dustin Pike "bdaymonkey" 
Embellishments: SU chipboard HB and Stickles glitter 
Punches: MS border punch
