Jude and his Shenenigan Crew Christmas Blog Hop

WELCOME TO A CHRISTMAS HOP!!

Hopefully you have come over from Debbie's blog but if you like, you could start at Simply Betty Stamps.  

My first of the season but Betty is so smart for thinking ahead!!  The industry moves so fast and ahead of schedule she's going to follow the trend, hence why the early hop and reveal of some new Christmas images!

All these new cuties will be on sale along with the rest of the sale going on at Simply Betty Stamps until the end of the month!  Jude and his Crew Christmas digis will be only $3.00!!

This little cutie is Jude.  Isn't he cute all tangle up?  


Check out this brand spanking new Echo Park Wintertime paper and embellishments!  The whole collection from papers, to kits is available now and ready to ship at Simply Betty Stamps.


So, grab yourself a nice cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa and off you go a hoppin'!  Your next hop is over to Jennifer. 

HAVE FUN!

Also, I just wanted to mention I used Papertake Weekly Challenge sketch to create my card.

8th Day of Halloween Challenge

On the 8th day of Halloween my ghoul love gave to me
8 Waltzing Zombies, dancing around a Witches Cauldron!

For the ladies left in the 12 days of challenge over at 
this is their next challenge.
Use zombies or witches around a cauldron. 
 I loved using Betty the Witch on my card for this challenge inspiration. I added some barbed flourishes from Silhouette and the sentiment also came from Silhouette.


Good luck to all the girls left.
Wow getting down to the nitty gritty!!  

And I am also entering this card into Cute Card Thursday.  Love their sketches!!

Tutorial

POPCORN BOX TUTORIAL

A number of you asked for me to do up a tutorial on this popcorn box and I'm sorry it's taken so long.  Gosh life gets away on us doesn't it!

I hope it comes in handy!  You can really put whatever you want in these little babies.  Even put some tissue in and then some home made cookies! 







Now you can wrap it in guaze, like I did below or cut 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" design paper and layer each side.  Try wrapping a border around the top in a separate color or using ribbon as shown here:

 Enjoy!

On the 6th Day of Halloween

On the 6th day of Halloween my ghoul love gave to me
6 Jack O'Lanterns!!!  

For the ladies left in the 12 days of challenge over at 
this is their next challenge.

For a bit of inspiration I've used London Pumpkin digi image (did I mention she's on sale?) and made a luminary.  I'm lucky she didn't catch on fire cuz I just put a real flame in here.  Those stupid little fake tealights aren't so great but WOW this was!  LOL


Good luck to the ladies that are left!!
