Day of the Dead Blog Hop

Unlike Halloween, Di De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a day of remembering our loved ones that have departed.  Many families celebrate by visiting their loved ones by spending the day at their burial site, or hosting parties in their homes. 

If you have come over from Chris's blog, then you are on the right track...if you happen to have just stopped by, then please head back to Betty's blog and enjoy all of the fabulous creations that the entire DT have done as well as the guest DT.

Here are my contributions:

13 Days of Halloween - BOO did I scare you?

The  annual 13 Days of Halloween are in full swing over at the Simply Betty Stamps blog and here is my share / challenge for the day:

A pop-up box card using Mummy London from the Teen Scene Halloween collection at Simply Betty Stamps. 

I made / designed a box card file and used my Silver Bullet Professional electronic cutter to cut it and all but the flowers and poison sign for this card. I had so much fun coloring this image and believe it or not, I used my drawing pencils to color her - haven't pulled those things out since a few years after high school! It was so much fun to play with them again.

Here are a couple more pics with 1 showing the semi-closed / side view and another showing more of a top view. 

I hope this has inspired you to play along with us!

My wish for you is a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!

Challenge Time at SSC...

Hi all,

It's Challenge time over at Simply Steampunk Challenges...we are having a ripping and tearing good time and I hope you will join in for a bit of Halloween type fun and rip and tear your way to an awesome prize!

I am showing Mr Gibbs Zombie Pirate drawn by the ever talented Abigail Larson and made digital through a collaboration with Betty Roberts of Simply Betty Stamps. This image is part of a larger group of creepy zombies appropriately named Zombies & Creeps.

He is colored with my Copics and the papers are from MME Wicked Merchant Malvado 6x6 pad. The embellishments are from my stash.

Please grab a Steampunk image - doesn't have to be a SBS image, but it would be awesome if you did use one - follow the rules - and play along. We love to see the various creations that you all make - you inspire us!

Don't forget to check out the other DT projects for this challenge:

Hey Jude...and the Tricksters, that is!

We have a fabulous new release over at Simply Betty Stamps...and it's the beginning of the Halloween Kick-Off...oh so much frightening delight in store for this Halloween!!!

I don't think I could have chosen a more SWEET set of Digi images to begin this Halloween with...

I have the joy of sharing 3 of these images with you. May I introduce...

Little Wizard Ariel

Little Ali Pumpkin

 

and Lily Octopus

 

Aren't these just the CUTEST images??? 

And let's face it...there's a kid in all of us that loves Halloween candy!

They were so much fun to color with my Copics and to do a print & cut with my fabulous Silver Bullet Professional. (Little secret - the sentiments are also done as a print & cut!!) The embellishments such as the shadow witch, moon, cauldron and web were cut with my SBP as well.

The papers I used were from Sassy Designs and Mambi Sheets-Me and My Big Ideas.

Don't forget to check out all of the others DT's fantastic showcases of the images included in the set...you DON'T want to miss them...I promise!! After you have looked at all of the  fun stuff the DT has for you...don't forget to go get your set from Simply Betty Stamps!!

July Fan Page Challenge at SBS

Hello everyone! 

I hope this day finds you doing well.

Over at the SBS Blog we have our monthly Fan Page Challenge starting today for the month of July 2014.

There are a few rules for the challenge and someone will win an awesome prize... so you really should play along...

For Mermaid Betty - you must use Jewels / Pearls / Gems:

For Mermaid Corinne - you must use glitter:

For Mermaid Sheri -  you must use ribbon or twine:

For Mermaid Bettina you must use embossing - heat or dry:

 I hope you will join in the fun on our Fan Page Challenge - the fantastic Mermaid Digis can be purchased at Simply Betty Stamps.

All of my images were colored with Copics and any cuts you see, like the fussy cutting on the images (Print & Cut) and the accent pieces and shapes you see on the cards were all cut using my Silver Bullet Professional Electronic Cutter. It's a phenomenal machine and so much fun to use.

Take a stroll through the DT's pages and feast your eyes upon all of the various color combos and fabulous projects for inspiration. The ladies have really outdone themselves with these images.

Time for some Word Art FUN!

Over at Simply Betty Stamps, there is a new release...

2 complete sets with WORD ART!!!

Go visit the SBS Blog so you can get all the details.

Being someone that lives in a town with railroads, I LOVE to watch the train cars that are traveling through or being brought in for a re-do that have all of that "graffiti" on them. It amazes me what those people do with a couple of cans of spray paint!!

Betty's newest artist that she collaborates with is great with Word Art / Graffiti and they have some awesome images to play with.

Let me introduce Betty Boo / Word Art:

This one is called Broom Fits Betty

Then we have Fly With Me Betty

And last in this series, Betty Boo

The other series that is new and FAB is Zombie Bride Betty / Word Art

Meet Zombie Bride Betty

Till Death Betty Oval

and last but never least, Till Death Zombie Bride

All of the images were colored with my Copics and the contour cutting as well as the beautiful "die" looking cuts were done with my Silver Bullet Professional. (Thank you, Paulo, for the files.)

Take a look at the other DT Gal's blogs for some more beautiful inspiration with these images...they are fabuloso!
