over at the Simply Betty Stamps blog there is a fantastic hop and a challenge...and as you can tell I love myself a challenge...so the challenge was to create a Halloween themed item using a SBS that is NOT Halloween and make it Halloween....so I took Betty and stuck her on this Tri-Shutter card (my first) and gave her a Halloween mask...it moves and is so fun....her pooch even dressed up! I love it and may just keep it up all year round!

tyiptych card

I have been waiting on my stamp for this new card...it was just perfect!
I tried a new card template (tyiptych) for the Whimsical Ink Sorority challenge and I also used one of their past techniques...the paper is made with salt!
The stamp was a prize I got from the S&S from Stamponique I just love it! you'll see it allot :)

Tiffney

gruesome twosome

YAY I made the Gruesome Twosome!!!

with my creepy cute card

altered altoids

I had to share this awesome project I just finished...I found 2 Altoids tins on the floor of my hubby's truck and decided to alter them... the first was an altoids smalls tin and I just wrapped it in some really cool paper I found! the second was the regular size and I first painted the lid black and then stamped my favorite crow stamp on some material in red paint and distressed the edges of the material added more red, roughed it up a bit and stuck it to the top of the tin....whadda ya think nifty huh? I may decorate the inside too...if I do I'll post some more pics

your dead

so here is my latest...I was playing around online last night and remembered that I have kinda forgotten about Stamp it Crazy...so I ventured over there and found a cool challenge... it was "your Dead" ya know I just had to play along with a title like that!....the challenge is to create your own tombstone, use black, gray, and red, and it must have a moon....so I found this awesome stamp in my mother in-law's collection and used it...I have been waiting for the opportunity....and wadda ya know it had a moon....I embossed the stamp and painted everything else...I used silver paint...no gray but close enough....and the sketch I got over at Midnight Madness

Do you want to know a secret?

I made this card last night...I know I'm twisted, but as soon as I saw this image at DTT I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.... I have had this image sitting in my stack for a while now and it was only until the challenge at HDH was "creepy cute" that I realized this had to be done! and I love it!!!!
I also made paper flowers for the first time! for the blood I just tinted some liquid glass, two techniques I have been thinking about for some time, this was the challenge at WIS this week....enjoy...or don't I don't care I love it and thats all that matters....:)

burlesque mermaid

Over at the Bombshell Stamps they had a few challenges, one was a sketch and the other was to make a card, layout, altered item,etc inspired by Burlesque. So I combined them!
this is what was said about Burlesque

By the 1880s, the genre had created some rules for defining itself:
* Minimal costuming, often focusing on the female form.
* Sexually suggestive dialogue, dance, plotlines and staging.
* Quick-witted humor laced with puns, but lacking complexity.
* Short routines or sketches with minimal plot cohesion across a show.

so I used a bunch of sparkles and bling, then used some "sexually suggestive dialogue" it says "you only wish you had fins like this!"

PINK dragon

Here is my latest and greatest...for hating pink I sure did make a sweet card!
I'm going to enter this into the Haunted house Pink on the brink challenge (the only reason I used pink in the first place) and I also used the Midnight Madness sketch...so ya double trouble....:) oh ya....I got this stamp from someone at S&S thanks...

Welcome to my party

Over at the HDH the challenge was to use at least 3 stamps (stamp it crazy) and at S&S there was a rock n rolla video challenge...so here is my card for both...
I love love this image...if you can't tell
oh and here are images I took from the video in case you were wondering

ovals suck!

here is my card for the S&S oh the horror challenge (color inspiration) and the Midnight Madness sketch challenge... I know it was suppose to be an oval and not a circle but UGH I tried and tried to make an oval and just couldn't and who woulda known that I don't have a single thing in my house with an oval shape to trace!!!! I hope this works...I'll go hunt at my mother-in-law's for an oval and try this sketch again...

S&S hidden hop

here is my card for the Smeared and Smudged Hidden hop...this is my first hop ever so I sure hope I do everthing right...sorry if I messed up...but I'm glad my first time was with smeared and smudged ;) this is the coolest network I have ever been in evryone is so nice and dark and creepy I love it!
