Simply Betty Stamps Release Blog Hop

Welcome to Simply Betty Stamps Double Whammy Release hop - YUP that's right - TWO new sets of images!!! You should have arrived here from the fabulous Cheri's blog - but if you haven't and want to head back to the start you need to hop on over to Simply Betty Stamps Blog.

Today we have one last Halloween line that I know you are going to love!  The Victorian Beauties Halloween.....

I've used Dark Fairy Elaine here and I know the other fabulous Beauties will be previewing during the rest of the hop. We have Darcy the Vampiress, Day of The Dead Timothy, Mina the Sassy Witch, Elaine the Dark Fairy, Lucy the Pumpkin Queen, and James the Zombie!

We are also have Jude and His Shenanigan Crew Thanksgiving for you! Now these little Toddlers are just so cute you are going to want to squeeze their little cheeks!

I've used 2 of the Crew here - Lizzie's on the left and Chloe's on the right. Now we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia so hopefully I've managed to catch the essence of it with my card. Fall colours seemed to be the way to go.

For this new release Betty is going to do something new and different... after you have hopped along and please go back and tell us about your favorite Halloween or Thanksgiving memory. It can be the funniest, the scariest, the most memorable one you can think of. We will pick 6 favorite stories as winners! That means 6 of you will get to choose 4 digis, two from the Victorian Halloween, and two from Jude and His Shenanigan Crew Thanksgiving. Woohooo. You have until Sunday October 10th to leave your story HERE at the Simply Betty Stamps blog. The 6 winners will be announced on Monday October 11th at 8PM PST.

Now the hop order is HERE if you get lost along the way. But if you're managing OK your next stop on the hop is the talented Eulanda.

Hope you enjoy!

Tickled Pink Monthly Challenge #6

Well Kellie has done it again and come up with another FABULOUS sketch for this month's challenge at Tickled Pink Monthly Challenges. For my card I used the gorgeous Lil Lolita 70s Willow. For a long time now I've wanted to try the "Big Head" look for these gals - ever since my TPS teamie Amy wow'd me with the first one she ever did. It's one of the fabulous things about digis - you can "play" with them - LOL.

We hope you can come along and play with us at TPSM  and we've made it even EASIER for you. We used to have the rule that you could only enter if you used a stamp company that Tickled Pink Stamps carried HERE.... BUT this sketch challenge is now open to EVERY one and every stamp.... BUT to be in it to win the prize offered you do have to use a stamp from a company Tickled Pink Stamps Store does carry. Doesn't have to be in stock or bought from Tickled Pink Stamps, as long as the company name is there, your IN! So NO EXCUSES - and you have a whole month to play!!!!

Now before I go we at Tickled Pink Stamps need to send out some VERY special birthday wishes to our wonderful Lil Lolita illustrator Christina. She has had the DT jumping off our seats with excitement with every new set of images. Christina is not only an AMAZING artist she is also one of the sweetest gals - as I found out personally when I hijacked her for Kellie's surprise birthday hop - hehehehehehe.

...HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA...

Hope you have an AMAZING day

Twelve Days of Halloween - Day 3

With Halloween being this month The Burtonesque Dolls are joining the Simply Betty Challenges for the 12 Days Of Halloween in place of our regular weekly challenge. Due to other DT commitments I'm joining in a little late - but you can find out how it works and join in the fun over at Simply Betty Challenges HERE. Today's challenge is.....

On the 3rd day of Halloween my ghoul love gave to me - 3 Creepy Rag dolls

Create a card or project using Sally (From Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton) as the main Rag Doll! I found my image by googling colouring pages for the movie - I think Sally and Jack make a lovely couple and think this would make a really quirky engagment card for the right couple - LOL. I used a build-a-brad from SU to attach my heart charm and sentiment - I LOVE being able to customise my brads! The DP is from Martha Stewart.

Hope you can join in the fun and apologies to my followers for the late notice about it...

Lil Lolita's Dress Up for Halloween

Meet the gorgeous Ghost Willow - part of the new Lil Lolita Range from Tickled Pink Stamps called Lil Haunts - and they're ALL dressed up for Halloween! Now this is the 2nd day of previews of these FABULOUS Lil Haunts - yesterday saw some AMAZING work by the birthday guests and DT with the super cute Vampire Lilith - you can check her out HERE.

We have a couple more days of previews at the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog and then these ghoulies can be ALL yours - but they WILL only be available in digital form! If you watercolour Kellie has done a fabulous tutorial on watercolouring digis HERE.

For my card I used a K&Company Halloween DP as well as their gravestone embellishment. I also used the black cat DooHickey Die from Magnolia (available from Tickled Pink Stamps) and the wonderful MS bat fence. I tucked some fluffy "webbing" in behind Willow to give the illusion of a ghostly aura - you can see it better in the picture on the left! The sentiment is from the Tickled Pink Stamps Heather Rolin line - the Going Batty set.

Now there ARE prizes on offer - Kellie is super generous with every new release and you can get all the info at our blog HERE - so remember to pop back and check out the next 2 days of previews too!!! And don't forget to check out her AMAZING candy for World Card Making Day HERE.

Just INKlined's Monthly DT Blog Hop

This month the Just INKlined DT are seeing stripes - and our blog hop is hosted by the lovely Karen. You should have arrived here from Lydia's blog if you are hopping along but you can always head back to the start at Karen's. 

As I said we have been asked to use stripes in our project somewhere and I had a piece of this marvellous teal and white stripey ribbon that I thoought would be PERFECT for the challenge. I used it down the edge of the K&Company DP - mainly because this was from a mat pad and just wasn't wide enough for my 5 1/2" card (I'm discovering all sorts of fun ways to hide this size shortfall - LOL) - but also because it looked perfect when I added the matching bow. The sentiment is by The Pink Cat Studio and appealed to my warped sense of humour - LOL.

The image I've used is "The Cat Lady" and can be found instore HERE. Now to carry on with the hop you need to visit Jak's blog - but I have a full list below if you get lost and all the links wre on my left sidebar under the Just INKlined logo.

The order of the blog hop is....Karen, Lydia, ME, Jak, Peri, Joyce, and Toni

Happy Hopping!

For my card I've used one of the Punky Teens from Simply Betty Stamps - this is Angelica.

Some letters cut using a cuttlebug alphabet make up the sentiment and my MS Drippy Goo punch gets another work-out too.
