Get Eggcited For Easter

Good Morning! Can you beleive I have FINALLY found the time to do a non-DT project! My first one, in awhile!  I decided to make an Easter card for a great friend, who always appreciates a handmade card.  Do you think this card is masculine enough?!

I did the entire card with Copic Markers - A rarity for me! I have several that I have been collecting  (more like hoarding!) over the last year, but I rarely use them and I'm, quite honestly, afraid of them! LOL! I'm so used to using the Promarkers and I find the Copics quite intimidating. A friend showed me how to do skin with Copics last summer, but I must admit - I havent tried it since then - An you can certainly tell I havent had any practice in ages.  Guess I'm going to have to go see her, again, this summer, and do more coloring so I can finally master it - Or at least semi-master it, once and for all! Being This is only a second attempt and this first attempt was months ago, I suppose this isn't too bad.

Oh, and what I am even more afraid of than skin, is doing hair with Copcis! Hair is so out of my comfort zone that is scares me to death! I thought, well, since skin and especially hair, are both way out of my comfort zone, this is the perfect time to do a project for the "Out Of Your Comfort Zone" challenge in the Simply Betty Stamps Fans Facebook Group! So, I  certainly plan to enter this card in that challenge! Oh sure, I know I have a snowball chance in you know where of winning - But it's worth a shot and it's fun to come out of your comfort zone now and then, isn't it?!

My card uses the image and sentiment set, Excited Corrine, from Simply Betty Stamps. For my card layout, I used the sketch at Friday Sketch Challenge.  All papers are from my stash. I used pieces of the patterned paper, to do the parts that overlap onto the sides of the image.

Show Me A Cask

Yet another project for the 12 Days Of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps! Almost finished with all 12 days! Whoo Hoo!

Today's project is for 11 Leaking Casks. You may have to looks closely to see the number 11 on the orange cask. The cask is shiny and the flash from the camera caused a little glare. You should be able to see the number 11 if you enlarge the photo.

I used all scraps from my stash, for this card. The image is by Simply Betty Stamps. This image is one of my favorites! I colored her with Promarkers. The hair is something new for me. I tried to add the white highlights by using 4 different tip sizes of the fine line Promarkers. The girls on the Simply Betty Stamps DT are so talented with doing hair and I've seen some coloring tutorials they've done, so I wanted to practice and see if I can perfect the technique. I know I have a long way to go to perfect it but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for my first attempt. What do you think?

I added black pearls to the card, to add some bling. My card layout uses the Sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches. The sentiment is punched from the DP using the modern label and word window punches by Stampin Up.

Group Of Ghoulish Ghouls

I have another Halloween project for you today! This is my favorite holiday of all time so I've been having a blast being a busy busy Halloween girlie!

This is project #11 for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps.

I present to you,10 Ghouls A-groaning! I went with a shaped card, shaped like a tag. This project is so eerie and creepy! Love how it turned out!

I used a creepy image from Wonderstrange, colored with Promarkers. I wanted him to be especially scary looking for this combination of papers, so I bloodied him up a little.

Wouldn't you hate to be driving down the street and see 10 of these after you?! Heck, I'd hate to see even one after me! Scary!

I used a mix of scraps of papers from Echo Park and Recollections. The spooky colored ribbon is from the Martha Stewart halloween collection. I used some black gems to highlight the one corner of the image frame.

Boo! The Ghost Was Framed!

I know! I know! You are probably sick of seeing all of my Halloween projects, already! Sorry, but you will need to sit through this one and three more! LOL

This is project #9 for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. The theme is 9 Ghosts A-Booing.

I found this cute stand up oval frame at Michael's in the $1 bin so I used it to create a cute Halloween decoration. The frame is so cool looking - I decided to keep the framed parts simple so the the frame adds to it, rather than takes away from it. I used this cute cut out ghost as well as this snow sign from Shelly's Images. I sponged the sign center with black ink and colored in the snow with a red Promarker so that it looks like a sign dripping with blood, instead of piled with snow. It turned out really creepy and I love it! I used a #9 on the sign to signify 9 Ghosts A-booing.

What A Monstrous Treat!

Another 12 Days of Halloween Project from Simply Betty Stamps

This one is for Day 8 and shows a monster! I went with a little treat box, this time.

Oooo isn't it spooky?! I'd hate to wake up and see this in my room! LOL The monster image is from Wonderstrange. I used scraps from my stash and followed the Repeat Impressions Sketch 01911. I added some bling to the handle of the treatbox with adhesive gems.

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

It's time to show you another project for the 12 Days Of Christmas project from Simply Betty Stamps. This is my 7 Glowing Pumpkins project.

I did a round scalloped circle card for this one. The black and white glittered DP is from the current Halloween paper stack from Recollections. These funky pumpkins are from MyGrafico and are colored with Promarkers. Before adding the pumpkins, I used a Martha Stewart Branch punch and punched out several branches from black and white newsprint paper. I added a wreath of these branches near the edges of the card, then added a small wreath of them in the center. Then I attached foam mounting tape to the back of each pumpkin and added them around the edges of the card, and one in the middle. The pumpkins are "glowing" with shiny glitter that I added with my clearstar gelly roll pen.

You may need to enlarge the photo to see the branches beneath the pumpkins since they blend in a little with the background DP.

The photo does not really do this card justice. It turned out fabulous! I wish you could see it in person!

Skeletons Four

Are you ready for another project for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps? This is my creation for Day 4. We were asked to make something that includes 4 skeletons. I used skelton printed DP, and though there are pieces of other skeletons on it, I only have 4 full skeletons. The halloween ribbons are both scraps from my stash. I used stickers from the Apothecary Line by Echo park, stuck on cardstock and cut out to make the jar and bat embellishements. These, as well as the image, are mounted with foam mounting tape for dimension and 3D effect.


My card layout uses the Sketch at Forever Night. I used an image by Simply Betty Stamps, colored with Promarkers.

Three Black Cats

Hello, again! I'm back with another project for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. This is my project for Day 3. We were asked to make a project with the theme of 3 Black Cats.


I used a scrap of fun polka dotted paper in halloween colors and a scrap of paper with these spooky spooks. The image is Skellington Betty, by Simply Betty Stamps. She is colored with Promarkers in shades of purple. I used a piece of chipboard in black and orange to frame the image. I used a 3d Black cat embellishment but only had one, so I put a #3 sticker on the cat, to fit the Three Black Cats theme.

My card layout uses Sketch #241 At Card Positioning Systems.

Trick Or Treat Times Two!

Hello everyone!

I have another project to show you, for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. For Day 2, We're asked to make a project with two trick or treaters on it. I used this cute mermaid witch image from Simply Betty Stamps and cut out two of them. They're the perfect little trick or treaters with thier pumpkins hanging from their brooms! Aren't they adorable! I wouldn't mind seeing these little witchy girls fly up to my door for some candy.

For my card layout, I used the Sketch at Peachy Keen Stamps. My card base is metallic black cardstock, though it looks bluish in the picture because of the camera flash. I used Halloween newsprint DP for the background and added scraps of two other papers from my stash, tied up with some black and white baker's twine. The sentiment is a sticker from the Apothecary line from Echo Park. The image is colored with Promarkers. It is hard to see in the pic unless you enlarge it, but the broomsticks are purple and the broomheads are green. I wanted to incorporate all the halloween colors: black, orange, purple and green. The images are mounted with foam mounting tape for dimension and 3D effect.

Owl Wow! Look At That Creepy Tree!

Hey Hey Hey! Are you folks following the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps? I am! I love love love Betty's Stamps and would love a chance at a term on her DT! I realize I may not be good enough, but I'm gonna try and see what happens!

This project is for Day 1. We were asked to do a project with an owl and a creepy tree on it. I admit, It was a challenge for me, to find a creepy tree! But then I found this creepy paper in my stash and it seemed perfect! I complimented the creepy scene paper with a scrap of orange and black stripes from my stash, then trimmed it with black faux lace.

My card uses the sketch at Sketches By Carly. The image is by Simply Betty Stamps. I went with the black and white look for my image this time. I seen a challenge for it and it looked like fun! Not to mention, it makes her look really creepy, doesn't it?I think she turned out to look very cool and makes a nice addition to the scene in the paper. The Owl and pumpkin is a dimensional three layered embellishement from K & C Company. My cousin and I searched all over Michael's to find the perfect owl for this! And believe me, it wasn't easy! I fell in love with this owl when I seen him and had to have him specifically for this project! Don't you just love his wiggly eyes?!

Hope you enjoyed my project! I had fun making it!

Halloween Is Coming! Don't Lose Your Head!

So, here I am, again, with another Halloween card! Halloween is my all time favorite holiday and I'm already playing with ghost, goblins, witches and.. Yes! Even zombies! I made this card for my hubby who's really into zombies! (I know, I know, it sounds kind of weird! But I have to admit.. I love them, too!)

My card layout follows the sketch at The Deconstructed Sketch. I've used this awesome zombie, Zombie Christian, from Simply Betty Stamps. Zombie Christian is perfect for Halloween! He's colored with Promarkers. I've used my new Apothecary Emporium papers from Echo Park. The "Haunted" sentiment is a sticker from Echo Park's Apothecary Emporium Elements sticker sheet. I matted the sticker with cardstock. The fibers are from my stash and seemed to be the perfect colors for this card! I attached Zombie Christian and the sentiment both with foam mounting tape, for dimension.
