Simply Betty Emo Halloweenies

Woot woot... a Hoppin' we will go, a Hoppin' we will go... or a Haunting if you prefer!

Hello lovely ladies. Hope you are all coping well with the blog hop. If you have come from Suzi's blog than you
are in the right place but if you have not please go to the Simply Betty Blog and start from there.

Today I have used the gorgeous Pumpkin London. I just love this stamp. LOL
I thought I would try the pumpkin shaped easel card. I enlarged the pumpkin beside London
and cut it out, traced around it and then cut it out of card. Presto. Done. Hope you
like.




I hope you have enjoyed the preview days, now it's time for some hoppin' fun, prizes, and deals!

Prizes:

Three Lucky Winners will be receiving two FREE rubber stamps from the Emo Halloweenies; Lola and Miller, Rio and Betty, or Christian and Miller (London is not available as a rubber stamp)! All you have to do is participate in our Blog Hop Challenge... of course there are a couple of twists to it. You have one day to complete your creation! The Inlinkz is posted below and will be open until Thursday Sept. 16th at 11:59 PM! The challenge? Very simple Create your best Halloween creation! It can be a card, a treat bag, a scrapbook page, or mini album anything Halloween! Pretty simple so far? Here is the second catch, you must use a Simply Betty Stamp image that is NOT Halloween... so No Jude and his Shenanigan Crew, no Punky Teens. You can use everything else! The more non Halloween you go the more of a chance you have to win two of the six! What I mean to say is take the most uncommon image and Halloween-ize it! Imagine one of the Divas Trick-or-Treating, or one of the School Emos! What ever you go with just have fun! The three winners will be carefully selected by myself and both DT members of Simply Betty Stamps and Simply Betty Challenges! Good luck everyone!

Here is the blog hop order if you got lost:

You scream, I scream.....

.....we all scream for ice cream.



Good morning once again lovely ladies. This fortnight at The Lollipop Ladies we have these Yummy icecreams as inspiration. The added option is to use Kraft on your project. I had to use this fabulous image from Meljens for Whimsy Stamps (that the very generous Erin bought for me). I bought this DP specifically for this challenge. As soon as I saw it I thought it would be perfect. Hope you have been inspired. Take a look at the other DT's work by popping in to The Lollipop ladies blog.
This is the first post from me today. Make sure you pop back later today for the Blog Hop for Simply Betty Stamps. Woo hoo.

Kisses for Brenda

Morning everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was a very very lazy one, so much so that I cancelled on one of my good friends on Friday and spent a lot of time in my PJ's. LOL. Yesterday I decided to make a scrapbooking LO of this gorgeous photo of my sister Brenda and my little girl Ashley. This is such a sweet photo - it has to be one of my favourites from my sister's wedding.
The DP is from Papermania. Unfortunately it is only 8x8" so I had to think outside the box a little, but do love the way it turned out.
I have been looking for sketches for SB LO's and have finally found a great site that has just that. It is called Pencil Lines . If you are stuck for idea than this is the perfect site. I will try and do some of their sketches soon.

Bonnie on Swing

Hey everyone. Hope we are having a wonderful weekend. I am just super. Of course, I won't complain coz that is what I always do and you don't want to hear it. LOL.

Thought I would show you this stamp by Spesch Stamps that was released on the 8th September. I love this stamp and Bonnie's little bunny is so so so cute. The DP is the Jack n' Jill papers from Prima. I just love them. I must say though that for some reason they aren't cut square. Two of the cuts are crooked and you really have to cut them down. Oops here I go again - I can't stop complaining. Sorry. Hahahaha. Anyway here it is and you can get this stamp and the others released on Wednesday here.

Horus in Bright

Morning everyone. Just a quick one as I wanted to get this in to the Sketch Saturday challenge this week before it closed. This is the gorgeous Horus roasting Marshmellows by The Stamping Bazaar. I really do love this stamp. His is very very cute. I had to do him nice and bright. I saw this DP and thought it was perfect for him. So here it is.



Ahhh it is Saturday - finally. Of course my hubby has a sleep in this morning but I have mine tomorrow. Am so looking forward to that very much. Been working on lots of DT work and can't wait to show you all. Have a good one.

Spots and Stripes

Good evening everyone. TGIF. The week has been a quiet and lazy one for me, although I have been creating up a storm but you guessed it - most of it I can't show you just yet. LOL. Tonight however I can show you my DT card for Stamp Something Challenges of 'Spots and Stripes'. I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop challenge blog and I used a super funky stamp from
Simply Betty Stamps. This handsome boy is Miller and don't you just love his pet lizard. So cheeky and I find it exceedingly hard to make boy cards as I just want to add flowers or lots of embellishments but feel I need to KISS. So here it is in it's simplest form LOL. Hope you like. Make sure you check out the rest of the DT's fabulous work over at the Stamp Something blog.

My sisters Wedding album

Good afternoon everyone.
Oh gosh I spent so much time on this gorgeous album for my sister
Brenda and then was waiting until I gave it to her
before I showed you all here on my blog. I forgot. She received
it almost two weeks ago so I thought I had better show you plus I
told someone I would post on my blog so she could see how it turned out -
"Hello Karen". LOL. This album is the Teresa Collins Mr & Mrs Album Kit
and it can be purchased from Kazmos Kreationz if you are in Australia.
Beware this is a picture heavy post. Enjoy.














Bonnie in Pink

Morning sweet Copic lovers. Hope you are all well. And what a glorious Thursday it is today. Lots of shopping for me and I got some much needed Copics in the mail so am so so so happy LOL.

I thought I would carry on the Pink theme with my card today. I love this pink combination, especially on this gorgeous stamp by Spesch Stamps that was released yesterday. I love this DP also. It is called Jack 'n Jill by Prima Marketing and the colours are just perfect for this image and all the other Bonnie images LOL. Enjoy your day everyone.

Copics used:
Skin- E000, 00, 21, 02
Dress/bow - R12, 14, 17
Grass - G24, G21, G26 (made from G24 & G28)

Magnolia Easel Card

Hey peeps. Hope you are all well. I think my Mojo has taken vacation so thought I would show you an easel card that I made ages ago for Magnolia Down Under Challenges just before I retired. I didn't get a chance to show you all so seeing I haven't got anything for you to look at here it is. LOL.





I think I am coming down with the flu like all others have around here. I am hoping if it is coming that it comes this week. I have a girls night out with some of my good friends on the 18th of this month so need to be well by then.
Bye for now.
