13 Days of Halloween - Challenge 12

Hey y'all, I'm back today with challenge #12...one more day to go....

So for the 12th challenge it's...
"A Halloween shaped card... anything but a square.
It must be in the shape of a Halloween item; pumpkin, witch hat, black cat, anything you can think of that is a Halloween shape!"
And a Simply Betty Stamps image, of course! LOL

I chose Cacklin London cookin' up her Wicked Witch of the West's Brew...with her flying monkey!
How flippin' scary were those flying monkeys in Oz?? O M Geeeee...
  I used to have nightmares of those things! LOL

"I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!!"  

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi image out (using the print-n-cut method in SCAL) and colored her with my Copics. I also used it to cut the flying monkey card from black cardstock.

One more to go...

Until tomorrow, the final challenge...
 

13 Days of Halloween - Day / Challenge 11

Hey y'all, I'm back today with challenge #11...and I feel like I'm running a marathon...whew...

So for the 11th challenge it's...

a famous Ghoul from an all time favorite movie or spooky story!

(don't forget that it has to be an SBS image)

So for this one I have used Lola Kruger in digi and made a tag.

I used Copics to color Lola Kruger and my Silver Bullet Pro / SCAL combo to cut her & the message of sweet dreams out. The graveyard was also cut with my SBPro.

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day! 

13 Days of Halloween - Day / Challenge 10

Hey y'all, I'm back today with challenge #10...

So for the 10th challenge it's...
Grave Yard Smash

Create your BEST graveyard scene for that Monster Mash graveyard smash!!  Anything goes, just create a graveyard scene and use a Simply Betty Stamps image or stamp.

I have used Shoot 'Em Up Chris & Flappin' Betty from the Teen Scene Era's set...

and they are dancin' up a storm on Al Capone's grave...hmmmm...wonder if they know where the vault is???

This is my entry for day 10....whatcha' think?

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day! 

13 Days of Halloween - Day / Challenge 9

Hey y'all, I'm back today with challenge #9...

So for the 9th challenge it's...

Splattering around... 

Nothing says Halloween like a little bit of splatter!!  Red blood splatters, green for Zombies, or black for Vampires!  Today it's SPLATTERED projects!  Splatter with black, red, or green...or all three!  Anything goes, just splatter away!

I have decided to use cutie pie Spidey Brittany Digi and red splatters.

So I guess this will be my entry for the 9th challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

I have decided to use the lovely Rock Star Lily & Glam Rock Rio from Simply Betty Stamps, I also used the graveyard background from Make It Crafty.

What could be better than a ZOMBIE CONCERT...right in the graveyard??!! Especially with a starry night as your backdrop? I think it's rockin'!

So I guess this will be my entry for the 8th challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

So for the 6th challenge it's a creepy Christmas treat bag or gift box. You need to use a Simply Betty Halloween or Christmas image and creep it out... LOL

So for mine, I decided to use Santa's Helper Rio. She's part of the Teen Scene Jolly Christmas set and a Halloween treat box from Bird's Cards. I used Christmas papers for the box and Christmas colors for Rio...but I decided she needed to be a zombie...LOL That's my version of "creeping her out"! 

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi image out (using the print & cut method in SCAL) and colored "Zombie Rio" with my Copics. I also used my Silver Bullet Pro and SCAL to cut out the Halloween box "gone Christmas". 

So I guess this will be my entry for the 6th challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

Voodoo Corinne

Hello everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Simply Betty Stamps has this cool chic called Voodoo Corinne (she's a digi) and she was my freebie choice on the October Fan Page Challenge.

For Voodoo Corinne, you have to use stick pins in some way...so I made a couple for my card. I have used a background file from Make It Crafty and added the pin cushion on the table. She was colored with my Copics. Background paper is Basic Grey - Out of Print and the ribbon is seam binding I dyed purple.

Why don't you join in...and color up a cool Voodoo chic...or a mysterious Fortune Teller...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a few today, hope to see you again soon! 

Until then, have a blessed and creative day.

13 Days of Halloween - Day / Challenge 5

Hey y'all, I'm back today with another offering...

Simply Betty Stamps has kicked off her 13 Days of Halloween Challenges - just click on the blinky button over to the right and you will be taken to her blog with the challenges...I would love for you to play along with me!


So the 5th challenge is Scary Women and anything goes. Well, you do need to use a Simply Betty Image. LOL

So for mine, I decided to use Bella The Vampire. She's part of the Steampunk Halloween Limited Digis set and let me tell ya', I'm lovin' me some Steampunk! lol

I think she makes a rather regal looking snowy Vampire Princess.  You know...she actually makes me think of Snow White......what do you think??

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi image out (using the print & cut method in SCAL) and colored "her highness" with my Copics. I spritzed the entire background and part of Bella with a shimmer spray that I make. I was trying to have that foggy, snowy woodland type of feel to the card...did I succeed?? LOL

I'm thinking this might just be turned into a Christmas card for my stash...

So I guess this will be my entry for the 5th challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

13 Days of Halloween - Day / Challenge 4

Hey y'all, I'm back today with another offering...

Simply Betty Stamps has kicked off her 13 Days of Halloween Challenges - just click on the blinky button over to the right and you will be taken to her blog with the challenges...I would love for you to play along with me!


So the 4th challenge is to make a toe tag and anything goes. Well, you do have a specific size (4" x 2.5") and you do need to use a Simply Betty Image. LOL

So for mine, I decided to use the Tea Time Tammy digi. She's part of the Lady Killers set. Isn't she just so calm, cool and collected??

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi image out (using the print & cut method in SCAL) and colored them with my Copics. The toe tag that is used as an embellishment I found online as a blank one and filled the information in the blanks using SCAL. Used the same method of print & cut and then added some distressing to the edges and some Vintage Photo ink from TH.

For the actual background toe tag, I used a black piece of DCWV silky smooth cardstock cut to the appropriate size, ran it through my embossing machine with an embossing folder...distressed it a little and rubbed Barn Door ink (TH also) into the "exposed" areas...sprinkled on some embossing powders (detail clear & kaleidoscope), then heated them up until the whole tag was embossed with them, giving it the wonderful color you see. 

Put them all on together...and voila'...a toe tag!

So I guess this will be my entry for the 4th challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Until the next challenge...I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

I will also be entering this in: 

Our Creative Corner's Challenge

So the 3rd challenge is to make something for the home. I chose A Roberts Halloween to use for a banner to go on my shelf in my kitchen.

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi images out (using the print-n-cut method in SCAL) and colored them with my Copics. I also cut out some rosettes I previously purchased...along with making and cutting out my banner from a file I created.

Put them all on twine...and voila'!

 

So I guess this will be my entry for the 2nd challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Fortune Teller Betty

Hello, hello there!

I hope you are feeling great today, and if for some reason you aren't, maybe the bluebird of happiness will light on your shoulder and sing you a sweet song. 

I have for your viewing pleasure today (yeah, well, just tootin' my own horn, cause somebody has gotta do it!) LOL the beautiful Fortune Teller Betty...and here she sits waiting to foresee your future...

I have used the background file from Make It Crafty and placed my beauty on the sidewalk.

She was colored with my Copics and I added the bling which is from Recollections. 

Paper for the card is very old and from my stash. LOL

Here's a closer view...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a few today, hope to see you again soon!

I used my Silver Bullet Pro to cut the digi image out (using the print-n-cut method in SCAL) and colored her with my Copics. I also designed the EEEK background and cut it out as well. I will have a link below to grab it, if you wish. Plus I did some extra googly eyeballs and cut those, did a clear plastic solid (blackout) back for them and then after gluing together, I put Mod Podge's Dimensional Magic over them. Love that stuff!!

The chicken wire background is cut from a Halloween paper from my stash with my Silver Bullet Pro. 

So I guess this will be my entry for the 1st challenge...why don't you come play along with me??

Abby

Hey y'all!

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU, for all of the votes from my peeps on the FrankenBetty challenge...I won!! Woohoo!!!

Okay, now to today's card...

Meet Abby ...

She makes me think of my DIL...isn't she a beauty??

Here's the card I made...

The orange background and the fan were cut with my Silver Bullet Pro - super awesome machine!!

Abby was brought into my software SCAL and I did a print & cut with a shadow layer to give it an outline cut - also cut with my Silver Bullet Pro.

She was colored with my copics.

I hope you enjoy her as much as I do...I can't wait until I can color her with other color combinations.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will visit again soon.

Until then, I hope you have a blessed and creative day!
