Christmastime with Anita Be Stampin!

Good morning everyone!  Are we all ready for a new and Christmasy release and Blog Hop at Anita Be Stampin?  I hope you all said yes, cause it's that time!  We have some super cute images and some super sassy images too...a little bit for everyone!  Woohoo!  Be sure to head on over to the ABS Shoppe to get your very own!  Make sure to visit all of the stops on the hop today, because one lucky person who comments on EVERY blog will win the entire digi release!

If you hopped by way of the ever fabulous Dee, you are in exactly the right spot!  You may continue!  If not, please start at the beginning at the Anita Be Stampin Challenge Blog...we wouldn't want you to miss out on any of the fun!

My first project is for those naughty peeps on your list this year...a little snowman poop!  I used the new image called snowman peeps...yes, peeps.  It has a girly holding this one's hand, but I got rid of her for my project.  I stamped some snow swirlies at the bottom of my treat holder and embossed with white EP.  I colored him up with Copics and cut him out...let's not forget the fluff ball on his stocking cap!  LOL!  The little saying says "I heard you've naughty, So listen...here's the scoop.  You get no coal this year, only SNOWMAN POOP!" 

Next up I have Santa Bear gracing the digital layout of our annual Christmas Sweaters photo...I happen to love this tradition even if the fellas don't!  :O)

Lastly for today's post is one of the sassy gals I told you about...Sandy Claus!  Isn't she something?  Wait till you see the other 2 sassy images!  WOOT!  I ran out of time, as I had planned to make something with all of them for the release!  I'll work on them and post a little later on.

Now it's time for you to hop on over to see Rene'...she'll surely have some beauties for you!  Thanks so much for coming by today!

If you should get lost along the way or there is a break in the links, here is the hop order!

Anything Halloween Challenge

Good morning all and a happy weekend to ya!  It has cooled off quite a bit here over the last few days, and boy is it a relief!  It's nice when the AC can kick off for a bit!

I'm here with a new challenge over at Simply Betty Challenges.  The new theme?  ANYTHING HALLOWEEN!  As you all know, we LOVE Halloween!  If you missed it, we released some new Sweet Gothic Kids images last week in the Halloween genre, so that's what we have all used for the challenge.  I made a cute little milk carton treat box and used Franken-Scott for the tag.  He is too fun, right?!

Be sure to check out the SBC blog to see how you can be our next winner!  ;O)

Preview Day 2 at Simply Betty Stamps!

Hey, hey, hey!  Good morning everyone!  I hope you all had a fantabulous Mother's Day yesterday.  I'm here with Preview Day #2 of the brand new Teen Scene images at Simply Betty Stamps!

Today we're showing off Louie and Lola.  This one was my daughter's fave of the new line, so I decided to make her a bookmark.  She's been after me to make her one for a few weeks, so what better time, eh?  I'm not much at making bookmarks since you can't really add much girth to them, but she loved it.  :O)

I hope you'll be back again tomorrow...more cuteness to come!  :O)

Anita Be Stampin New Rubber Release!

Good morning, dolls!  I hope everyone is ready for the uber cuteness of the last 2 rubber sets to go along with the other 3 sets we previewed for you this week.  Check out all the new cling mounted rubber sets in the Anita Be Stampin Shoppe and see some super cute samples at Anita Be Stampin the blog!

Here are my samples using Love Bots and Love Bear...enjoy!

Be sure to check out our DT call and join us for our current challenge!  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Anita Be Stampin Rubber Preview Day 2

Good morning, party people!  TGIF!  I sure hope the weekend proves to be better than this week has been!  How could it not though?  TOMORROW is the big release day for the new rubbah at Anita Be Stampin!  Today we're previewing the set called Bears and Bunches.

I got a cute mini mailbox from the dollar section at Target and altered it up using the 2 cute bears in this set.  The boy bear actually holds a huge bouquet of flowers behind his back, but I just cut them out for the use on my project.  I hope you like it!

Check out the rest of the projects the team made with this adorable set by checking out the ABS blog!  :O)

Simply Betty Challenges #6...

Good morning, crafty bleeps!  Happy Friday!  Woohoo!  TGIF!  Yepper, Friday is here, so that means another challenge over at the Simply Betty Challenges blog!  This week's challenge is to make Thanksgiving place cards.

I made mine using one of the new Steampunk Gang digis called Gwendolyn.  Be sure to head over to the Simply Betty Stamps Shop and pick up some fun and quirky stamps for yourself!  :O)  I made the tag by printing her out at 50% opacity with the name plopped on top (at 100%) with a drop shadow.  I was going to leave it uncolored so the name on the place card really showed up, but that didn't suit me.  I didn't attack it with the same amount of color I usually do, but it's better with the color...believe me!  I sponged a bit of ink around the edges, matted it, punched the whole and tied it to the super cute pumpkin.  I got the directions for the pumpkin on The Pink Elephant.  I sure hope you like it!   {Sorry for the terrible photos!  I could not for the life of me get a decent picture, but I got lots of crappy ones!}

Be sure to check out the amazing talent of the other members on the DT!  Their links are on my sidebar or you can see them all over at the SBC blog!  Have a great day!

New Challenge at The Wild Flower Patch!

Happy Hump Day, all!  As my title mentions,we have a new challenge starting today at The Wild Flower Patch!  Unfortunately it will be our last challenge of 2010.  :O(  With this being the last Wednesday in October, our awesome leader thought it best to give us all a break for the upcoming holidays.  What a sweetie!  Because this is the last challenge this year, she has decided to offer up an uber amazing prize to the winner!  Are you ready for this?  TWO WFK RUBBER STAMP SETS:  No Girls Allowed and Pretty in Pink!  WOW!  Play along with us and these awesome stamps could be on their way to you!  Our last challenge is GHOULS, GHOSTS & GOBLINS...ANYTHING TO DO WITH HALLOWEEN!  Super easy to play along as you make up those last spooky cards and treat bags!

Today I have made a cauldron shaped mini album.  Is this cute, or what?  I used Pumpkin Lily to adorn the pull out journaling spot/photo mat.  I used a cool binding technique that lets the album lay flat when opened...it also prevents a bulging album from all those 3D embellies.

Franky's All Tied Up!

Good morning again, bleeps!  Is everyone getting the cooler temps where they live?  I LURVE Autumn!  It's my favorite season of all.  I have to say the colder weather is coming in spurts here in Kansas City.  It did get colder for a few days a couple of weeks ago, then we were back up into the 80's.  My fingers are so cold while I'm typing this it's kind of difficult!  LOL!  Complain, complain!

We have a new challenge starting today at The Wild Flower Patch.  Your challenge, should you accept it, is to use TWINE!  I have used Frankie for my project...you can pick yours up for just $3.00 at the WFK Shop!  I made this cute little candy holder for my project today...perfect for the twine challenge.  The template is a FREEBIE from the awesome and talented LeighAnn Baird!  Hop over to her blog and pick yours up too...check the sidebar under Free Templates!  :O)

Thanks for coming by today!  I really appreciate all your lovely comments!  Be sure to check out the rest of my Wild Flower Patch teamies to see what they have up their sleeves!  :O)
