Day 2 with SBS & MiC!

Make it Crafty and Simply Betty Stamps are really excited to be bringing you the combined Hollywood Release!  

Simply Betty Stamps has a range of characters from Betty Monroe, through to Action Chris the movie director!  Make it Crafty has a range of background scenes perfect to switch and match with your famous characters!

We're so glad you decided to join in on the hopping!  If you've come from visiting Delphine you are in the correct spot!  If not, start at the beginning at Suzi's blog to see all the amazing inspiration.

Today's project uses Little Usher Miller from SBS and Watching Movies background from MiC.  I definitely wanted to make sure you all know how awesome these images are for scrapbooking too.  So Ariel now "hates" JB.  I like him though!  :O)

Next up I used Lady Lola from SBS and Red Carpet from MiC.  She is surely making her debut in this fabulous dress.  I colored everything except the sidewalk and the red carpet with Copics.  I used my Prismacolor Pencils for those 2 things and some TH distress inks for the cloudy sky.  The sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michael's.  :O)

Of course we are going to have heaps of fun with this theme and June 1st & June 2nd we will be showcasing our stuff and then June 3rd we're bringing you a fun guessing game...will you be able to guess the movie?   We'll be giving you some clues to help!  Join us for the two inspiration days and leave a comment along the way for your chance to win a selection of new images.  There will be FOUR winners each day receiving a surprise character with matching background digi stamps.

Then on June 3rd, guess 6 out of 12 movies correctly and you will have a chance to win:  

Grand Prize

A DVD Movie of your choice
PLUS the whole collection of MiC & SBS digi stamp Hollywood release images.

Second Prize

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!

Stock Spotlight Saturday at CYDI?!

Good morning everyone!  I'm here with a new weekly feature for Can You Digi It?.  Stock Spotlight Saturday or SSS.  This week we've got the spotlight on The Twinery Twine!  It is some fun stuff to play with too!  Oh, let's not mention the awesome spools that Michelle has to send the twine on!  Woohoo!

I used a TCP Studio stamp set along with my new Nesties for this card.  The Twinery colors I used were Lemondrop, Mandarin and Caribbean.  I love it!  I used my Prismacolor pencils to color the flowers on the craft card stock.

I hope you enjoyed my card!  Thanks so much for popping by today.  Be sure to join us for our current challenge too!  :O)

What's Shakin' Bacon?

Howdee doodie everybody!  I'm back with another post for Simply Betty Stamps and the fantastical new line called Teen Scene Kitchen Fun.  I missed yesterday, but I do have Spaghetti Christian all colored up...here he is now!

Isn't he cute?  I'll get him on a card soonly and come back to show him off again.

Today's image is called Pan Slingin' London.  Love her...she's always one of my faves.  I think it's her hair.  I always wanted curly hair like that!  I used some cutie patootie DP that my daughter picked out for cooking from Karen Foster.  I decided to give her some pink hair just for the fun of it.  I wasn't the only one who thought of this either...my awesome DT sistah, Suzi, did hers up with teal!  Woot!

Thanks so much for coming by and checking out the latest!  Be sure to pop by the SBS blog too!  Mwah!

Steampunk Halloween Release at Simply Betty Stamps!

Good morning all!  I am so excited to share with you today!  Simply Betty Stamps now has the Steampunk Halloween line live in the shop!  These images are to die for...no joke!

First up I have Druscilla the Demon.  I used some Echo Park Apothecary Emporium DP along with some purple and dark red card stock.  I got the charm at Hobby Lobby, I believe.

Next we have Beatrix the Witch...I am loving her!  She is bad to the bone!  I colored this one with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  More Echo Park DP and card stock stickers on this one.  I loosely used the sketch over at Card Patterns for this one.

Last image is called Lydia the Living Dead Girl.  I so love her outfit!  I used some MME Blackbird DP for this one along with the current sketch at Deconstructed Sketches.  The metal sentiment is from Making Memories.

Head over to the SBS blog and be sure to comment, comment, comment for your chance at a digital image...this'll be your only chance for a digi of these babies!  Thanks so much for checking in today!

Doodle Dragon Studios Blogiversary Hop!

Welcome Dustin Pike fans to our second blog hop!  This is a party you will NOT want to miss.  If you have arrived from my fun lovin' teamie Ginny, you're right on track...if not please start back at Dustin's blog so you don't miss any of the fun (or chances to win)! 

We are delighted to share with you some of the amazing images Dustin has recently come up with.  Today marks Dustin's 2 year blogiversary and we, the Doodle Dragon Crew, want to show you some of the fabulous Blogiversary images you can get for a fantastic price!  You can locate these images HERE, as well as many more.  200 images plus for ONLY $20.00 USD during the blog hop ONLY!  See Blog Hop details below.

Here are a couple of fun projects I made using some of the blogiversary images...enjoy!

 

A digital layout of my son playing basketball...Dudley loves b-ball so much that even his skin has taken on the texture of a basketball!  I colored and "pieced" Dudley in Photoshop CS2.

A super cute new baby card using the duck and bubble frame.  I colored the inside and added the sentiment.  My original thought when I saw this image was that it would make an adorable photo frame for a baby bath layout, but I didn't have any pictures to suit.  Colored with Copics.

Next up I used the little lamb from the farm  collection...this little baby is so sweet!  I colored this one with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.

My last project for you was done with one of the utterly adorable hippos.  This one's out for an afternoon of sand, surf and sun...not to mention fun!  He's colored with Copics and the sentiment is a rub-on by Fancy Pants Designs.

Hey, hey!  Good morning everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at Anita Be Stampin Challenges.  Welcome March...the first Tuesday of the month means a color challenge!  Anita gave us a very sophisticated color combo this week.  Come on over and join us!

I used the cutie patootie cling mounted rubber stamp set called Bears and Bunches.  He is so sweet isn't he?  I also used some Divine Twine from the ABS Shoppe.  I colored it with my Copics to match the cream colored card stock.

Thanks for coming by today!  Check out the ABS Challenge blog to see all the other amazing projects from the DT!  :O)

Sexy Valentine

Good morning, sweets!  It's Tuesday and you know what that means...well, you should anyway since I say this most every Tuesday!  It's time for a fresh new challenge at Anita Be Stampin Challenge blog!  Woot, woot!  Another fabby sketch this week by Neeters herself!  Check out the challenge blog and see all the deets including the awesome prize up for grabs!  ;O)

Today I have used the digi stamp called Busty Betsy.  Not only is she super sexy and oh-so-perfect for Valentine's Day cards, also 100% of the proceeds from Busty Betsy digi image sales will benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure!  Awesome!  Once again I flipped the sketch...

Thanks so much for coming by to visit!  Check out what the rest of the team has done with this sketch as well...links are on my sidebar!  Have a wonderful day!

HBD2U

WOW!!!  I suck!  I had scheduled this post to go off last Friday and only JUST noticed that  it never posted...DUH!  Anywho, here it is!  Better late than never, eh?

Good morning...and a very early morning at that!  We are slowly digging ourselves out from Snowpocalypse 2011.  We got 20 1/2" inches of snow!  Can you imagine?  My neighbors were smart enough to take a picture with the yard stick, so I just borrowed theirs...UGH!

On to the reason for my post...it's Friday again!  Woohoo!  Time for another round of challenges at Simply Betty Challenges!  This week our teamie has challenged us to make a Valentine Birthday with the color combo of PINK, BLACK & TURQUOISE!  How fun!  I decided to use the ever adorable Rio Valentine Emo.  She's been colored with Copics with the exception of her hair...that's Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  I can't seem to get black hair right unless I use the pencils.  :O)

Be sure to hop on over to the SBC blog to get all the deets on this challenge including what awesome prize is up for grabs AND the awesome samples from my DT sistahs!

Christmas Emos Blog Hop with Simply Betty Stamps!

Welcome to the Simply Betty Stamps Christmas Emos Blog Hop & Release!

It's here, it's here! Christmas Emos Blog Hop and release day! Woot! If you came here by way of the fabulous Lady B you're right on track...if her post wasn't up yet she was having computer problems last night, so you might need to check back!  If you came by just to say hello (HI!), be sure to start at the Simply Betty Stamps Blog to find out what you need to do in order to win one of SIX fantastic prizes!  All these fun Christmas Emos are now in stock! But that's not all!  Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas has also arrived! Check out the online store for all the goodies! These papers are going to look great with the new Christmas Emos!

The Christmas Emos are now available in both digi and rubber... but hurry!  The digi versions will only be available for a very limited time! Grab 'em while you can!

My first sample for you uses the adorable Elfin' Miller.  How upset is he over his outfit?  I had the perfect project too...I do hope you can read the journaling on my layout!  :O)  I paper pieced Miller's outfit to match the paper...the rest is colored with Photoshop CS2.

The second image used is Merry Betty.  What a babe!  She's happily on her way to deliver her gifts.  This is at my sister-in-law's house last year...never mind the photo of me.  Wow!  I do have a couple other layouts in the works, but it got pretty late, so I'll save those for later.  :O)

My last project for you today is a card using Prezzies for Lola.  This comes with Lola, the 2 presents you see and a really cute little holly bat friend (not pictured).  I love her so much!  Maybe because I was actually able to color some decent black hair (thanks Jen)!  The polka dot paper is the back of the argyle Halloween paper from Echo Park.  I wanted to use the skull paper, so what better to use than one that came with it, right?  I just colored 2/3 of the dots with hot pink and lime green.  I colored the twine to match too.  Damn, I'm clever!  LOL!  I used Copics, Echo Park DP, card stock and twine from stash, Stickles, nesties, CB snowflake embossing folder, Prismacolor pencils, OMS, pop dots, Photoshop, current Mojo Monday sketch.

Before I leave you I wanted to be sure you knew that there is a new challenge up over on the Simply Betty Challenges Blog!  Be sure to head over to the SBS Store too...there are some new steampunk style digis for you to drool over...and buy, of course!  :O)

I hope you enjoyed my projects...now it's time for you to scoot along to the fabulous blog of Linda!  Don't forget to leave some love for each of the DT members along the way!
