13 Days of Halloween.....Day 13...

This is going to be short and sweet. I am very tired but needed to get this posted....ahhhh.....last day of the 13 days. I only got 7 done but they were fun! I hope some of you joined on on the challenges. This challenge was black and white and one other color.....my other color, as you can see, is blue. Don't forget to go to the SBS Blog and check out the rest of the DT creations. They are FANTASTIC!!!!

The images I used are from the Trick or Treat teens lines ...they are called Count Chris and Countess Betty....we had to merge our images, so they appear to be one, but they are actually 2 images. Get them HERE!

Enjoy....

 Until later....Happy Coloring!!

So, this challenge was to make a shaped card. I chose to use the Little Witch (steampunk) for this challenge and put her on a card in the shape of a cauldron....thought it was fitting. You can get the Little Witch HERE.

My first DT post for CMC...

I was accepted on to the CMC DT and this is my very first post for them. This DT is led by Suzanne Dean and I have followed her around for some time watching her colorings and reading about her mishaps...that are continuous...lol

I like being on DT's becasue it makes me reach out there and challenge myself for one thing. The other thing is that I REALLY love to color and not really do anything with my colorings. I just color and color and throw them into piles when I get them done so this is going to make me actually use my images ON things!

This challenge was a man card and we had to use Dr. Digi images. I struggle with man cards, as do most of us, I think. It is so much easier to decorate with flowers and ribbons than with...ummmm....yep, that is what I struggle with. I ended up throwing a few staples on it to make it "industrious" haha. 

I hope you like what I did with him...introducing: 

I.T. Ian

Until later....Happy Coloring!!

Coming Out Of the Ground!!!!

Today is day 8 of the 13 days of Halloween challenge from the Simply Betty Stamps Blog...or SBS as we all fondly call it :) You really need to go and check it out. There are fantastic prizes for the daily challenges and anyone can join in. But, even if you don't want to join in, go check out the creations from the other DT members and the others who have entered into the challenges. 

This challenge is anything Zombie!!!!! I actually used to different images. The main one is Zombie Betty....you see her upper body and legs (the legs with heels). The other set of legs is from Zombie Rio. Thought it was a cute twist to add Rio's legs in the mix...lol

Here is my take on the challenge with my Zombie Betty "coming out of the ground"

Until later....

Day 7...

 It is now the 7th day of the 13 days of Halloween for the challenges at SBS. If you have not checked them out.....you REALLY need to go check these  out! Not only are there some fantastic creations, but there are prizes, too. 

This challenge is to use skulls and/or bones and to sue the colors cream, black, and white. I actually forgot the bones part of it so I had to get back in here and add some to it...lol

I think it turned out pretty cool for a ghost that I thought was a skeleton....hahahahaha.

Introducing: Draco the Ghost Gent

Halloween home decor...

This is day 3 of SBS countdown to Halloween. There are numerous challenges this month and you all can join in, have some fun, and maybe win something in the meantime!! Just to to SBS Blog and watch daily as there are 13 challenges this month (10 to go). 

My challenge this time was to make a home decor item. I chose to use Count Chris from SBS line of Trick or Treat Teens.

Without any further delay, here is my creation.....a cover for my Copic holder (I use this when I am coloring to hold the current markers being used for my project) with count Chris our on the lookout for some fresh blood.....bwah- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

(sorry about the little smears, got my darn fingers in the wet liquid pearls and there is NO WAY to clean that up! :( )

Flat Background...

Featuring Rio & Toots!!! 

This was my challenge....to have a flat background so I made this in one layer. turned out pretty good for no layers. 

I love this image....This is Rio & Toots from Simply Betty Stamps. It is called "Don't Forget Your Lunch"

This image can be purchased by going right HERE!

I hope you like it...I had a blast coloring it!!

Happy Birthday, Gloria!!!

My dear friend, Gloria, had a birthday on Saturday, September 14. I drove about 4 hours to spend a couple of days with her and had a REALLY nice time. It is so nice to just sit and chat with her and spend some quiet, quality time with her. 

I took her flowers for her birthday...

...look at a piece of her awesome craft room in the background!! 

(can you spell J-E-A-L-O-U-S??!! lol)

And here is the card I made her...I love this image!

(It is a Wee stamp named Goldie)

I hope you enjoyed my short, quick trip as much as I did Gloria! Love you!!!!!

What a wonderful time of the year....

I love Autumn!! I love Spring becasue everything is coming back to life, turning green, blooming, and alive!! But I love Autumn with the crisp night air....makes me long to be outside by a campfire. I love the not hot/not cold weather after the hot summer months. I miss building mazes out of leaves and playing until we were made to go in the house....sigh....

Well, to kick off Autumn I have colored up an SBS image called Jude Pumpkins. Click on the link to go and purchase him...you KNOW you want to!!

Make sure (after you check out my image) to go to the SCC blog to see what the rest of the DT has colored up for you....they are FANTASTIC (as usual!).

50's time!!!!!

Hi there!!! I am participating in a challenge for SBS on the SCC blog. After you look at my creation, make sure you go to the SCC blog and look at all the other great creations made by my fellow DT members!!!
My challenge is to make it 50's style.
 That was a tiny bit before my time, but I did grow up in the 60's and my 8 brothers and sisters all saw a t some of the 50's so I am very familiar with it and might I add, I loved that era!! It was a time for sock hops, poodle skirts, bobbie socks, and saddle shoes....sigh....what a great time! 

My challenge was to be with Greaser Christian. He is fab and a Fonzie-type greaser so I had to give him Fonzie's "Aaaaeeeyyy!!!!" lol. This was a fun card to make. You can find Greaser Christian in the SBS store right here. He can be purchased in digi as well as clear rubber. Don't forget to check out the others as well. 

Here is my challenge card:
