Simply B Stamps Release Day Blog Hop

It's finally here!  Welcome to the Simply B Stamps Release Blog Hop day!  Whoop whoop!  If you have arrived here from the fabulous Suzi's blog you're right on track and no beating will need to happen!  ;O)  If you didn't and you don't want to miss any of the excitement or awesome inspiration, please head back to the SBS blog (or face the consequences).

Want to win?  One winner will be chosen at random from any of our blogs for a chance to win each new image!  We will be choosing from the comments left on all blogs, each day we previewed an image.  Winners will be announced Saturday morning with our Limited Digi release.  If you happen to purchase the digis before you know who won... no worries, Betty will gift you a brand spankin' new digi from our NEXT release in place of the one you have won IF you have already purchased this new release or the image you win.  These images are digi for a limited time, and rubber after that.  However, the rubber is on a pre-order situation...Betty hates to run out on release day and have sad customers, so she's trying something new!  Check out the deals for pre-order on the SBS blog!

Who's ready to put out some fires?  I'll tell you who...Jude is!  Meet Fireman Jude!  He's sure to set your little heart on fire...Maybe his sweet pup can lick the flames out?  *giggle*

I hope you enjoyed my clean and simple one layer card.  It's time for you to hop on over and visit my uber talented teamie's blog, Barbara!  Thanks so much for popping in today!  MWAH!!!

I used the adorable image called Sugarplum Fairy for my project.  I delved into a pad of paper that has yummy embossed designs and colored my fairy with Copics to match.  I stamped and heat embossed with Marcasite EP around the main image panel.

Come on over and join in the challenge...it's an easy one!  Thanks so much for stopping by this morning!  MWAH!!!

Good morning, Can You Digi It? fans!  It's time for another challenge...come on and join in for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the CYDI? store!  SUNRISE/SUNSET...use this gorgeous collage for your inspiration.

I used Chic Dress and Frame by LilyPink Designs for my card.  It is one of those images that can make a very CAS (and quick) card when you're short on time.  I used what I perceived to be a sunset color scheme for my card and I popped up the dress for some dimension.

I would love to see some of my followers come over and join us for this CYDI? challenge.  MWAH!!!

Texting Star

Good afternoon, friends!  I just got in from weed eating and mowing...I'm pooped!  I came by today to share a project I made for the latest Pixie Dust Studio Challenge.  TEXTING!  My daughter is a text freak, so what better project than a layout of her and her phone?  I used the super cute image called Miss Music...I actually used Photoshop to remove the cords for the ear buds to make it look more like a phone.

I do hope you'll join us for this challenge...we can't wait to see what you'll come up with!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Dust Studio Ahoy Release!

Good afternoon all!  I hope you're excited...if you're not you really should be!  Today is the day that the Pixie Dust Studio releases their super cute Ahoy Collection!  It's also challenge day at the PDS Challenge blog...this week's challenge is to use RIBBON!

Today I have merged the last 2 images, Lil' Miss Sailor and Lil' Mr Sailor together.  They were too cute to be out on the boat alone!  I put them on a digital background from Dustin Pike that was released a couple of years ago and colored them all with my Copics.  Since this took up most of the card, I simply matted the images, added the ribbon and charm at the top and voila!  I hope you like it!

Thanks for coming by today to see the last 2 images of the new release!  Come on over to the PDS Challenge blog and join us for the ribbon challenge!  :O)  MWAH!!!

Pixie Dust Studio Sneak Peek - Ahoy

Hi there, my sweet cupcakes!  I'm back with day 2 of previews from Pixie Dust Studio!  Today I'm sharing Lil' Mermaid.  She's so sweet!  I used some DCWV glitter paper and card stock from the Fun in the Sun Stack.  Colored with Copics...I also colored the doily and the rhinestones to match.  A scalloped nestie and some TH distress ink made the clouds behind her.

Thanks so much for your visit today...I do hope you'll be stopping back by tomorrow for release day at PDS!  MWAH!!!

Pixie Dust Studio Preview - Ahoy!

***If you're looking for my Can You Digi It? post, please scroll down!***

Hey there, fellow bleeps!  I hope your Tuesday is going well.  I'm popping in again today with a little sneaky peek of one of the new images to be released on April 12th at Pixie Dust Studio.

Meet Jack Jr...he loves to sail the seas looking for booty to steal!  Not THAT kind of booty...treasure, of course!  Wouldn't you share with someone so cute?  I used some paper that I've had stashed away forever...my 14 year old son used to LOVE all things pirates!  The sentiment is from a CTMH set.  Little Jack Jr. is colored using Copics and then fussy cut.

Pop on in again tomorrow for another project using new images from PDS' latest release, Ahoy!  MWAH!!!

CYDI Challenge 7 - My Secret Garden

Good morning party people!  It's time for another challenge at Can You Digi It?!  This week's challenge was left up to me and I found a very pretty photo of some flowers that I loved.  Actually, I loved it so much that I made some digital papers using the colors.  :O)  Today's challenge is called My Secret Garden.  Use the following photo for your inspiration and join us!  You have until April 23rd, so there's plenty of time!

I used my digi paper pack called Poppy Paradise along with the Text Cloud & Songbird image by LilyPink Designs.  I hope you like it!

Remember to pop over and join us...we can't wait to see what you create!  YOU could be our next $10 gift certificate winner at Can You Digi It?!  MWAH!!!

Blog Hop with SBS - Verity Vamp & Boris the Bat

Welcome to the Simply B Stamps Blog Hop!  

We know you're dying to meet Verity Vamp and her little buddy Borris the Bat!  If you've arrived from the fabulous Barbara's blog, then you are right on track...if not, you had better start back at SBS blog so you don't miss anything good!

Meet Verity Vamp & Boris the Bat...I used some Foo-fa-la DP on this one and colored with Copics.  The card stock I printed the image onto was white, so I had to remedy that as it looked quite strange with all the cream color.  I used my Prismacolor pencils and OMS for that.  I used some blood splatters around the edge of the image along with some scrunched ribbon (colored with Copics) and pearls.

Please hop on over to visit my good friend Suzi...you know she'll have something awesome for you!  If you should get lost along the way, here is the hop order.

SBS - Lucy Lycan & Lex *ON SALE NOW!

Is there a full moon tonight at Simply B Stamps? If there is, you'll find Lucy Lycan and Lex having a wild old time in their beloved woodland home. Lucy is a bit of a mystery, as we don't know much about her family, we just know she seems to have an affinity with wolves, foxes and other canines! Don't ask her too many questions tho, as she has a tendancy to bite when annoyed!

I know you won't be annoyed by this...the Spunky Spooks are available for sale RIGHT NOW!  I know we said Friday, but we know you can't wait to play with these awesome images!  Head on over to the Simply B Stamps Store to get them for yourself!

Here's Lucy Lycan and Lex...I used some of my stash of BoBunny papers for this one.  Colored with Copics, Lucy looks more like a fox now that I've colored her to match her buddy Lex.  She IS rather foxy if you ask me!

Check back again tomorrow...I'm on a roll!  MWAH!

SBS Preview - Lorna Loch & Nessie

Having fun with us at Simply B Stamps so far? Today we are traveling to the mysterious Highlands of Scotland to meet Lorna Loch and her friend Nessie. Yes, you read correctly, Nessie, the Loch Ness monster does exist, and she loves to frolic around the Loch with her friend Lorna.

Here's Lorna Loch and Nessie...aren't they FINtastic?  That sentiment is from an Ippity set that I got from a fabby girlfriend.  :O)

Be sure to check out all the creations from the DT and leave them some love for your chance to win this image!  Hope to see you back again tomorrow for one of my faves in this line!  MWAH!

SBS Preview - Haunting Hannah & Hoot

Welcome back to another spooky preview at Simply B Stamps. We are getting rather spooky today with the adorable Haunting Hannah and her friend Hoot. Hannah loves haunting, she was a hippy in her previous life, so has always been a bit of a free spirit; so being able to float through locked doors and walls is a great adventure for her. Haunting is not much fun on your own tho, so you'll find Hoot is always by Hannah's side to keep her company.

Here is my project...colored with my trusty Copics minus the hair.  That I did with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  I hope you like her!

Back tomorrow...same time, same place!  MWAH!
