Happy Halloween

 Here's a wonderful Sweet Pea stamps image from artist Karen Middleton called Kitten and Skull.  Isn't this image just too cute?  You all knew I would love it!  I added some paper with skulls on it as well as this fun die cut of a skeleton.

 

Here's an adorable closeup of this image, it is currently available as a digi stamp

Be sure to check out all of Karen Middleton's designs. She has several other wonderful Halloween theme images, but her main stamp line is filled with adorable kids, beautiful women, lovely portraits and sweet animals.  Check out our Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans page over on Facebook, we have regular contests, great coupons, and daily card sharing.  We can't wait to meet you.

Bodacious Bev

Here's an awesome image from Kenny K.  As you guys know I just love his images when I want to make some sexy cards for the hubby.  I totally adore this image from him, she's called Bodacious Bev.  They are having a challenge this week to use a banner on your card.  I did everything in a brown and pink combo here. I just like brown a lot.

Drop by the Kenny K challenge this week and enter your card. I hope you like mine.  I can't believe we are on our 2nd week of August.  Lots of the schools here will be getting started next week, mostly the colleges and then the rest will start the following week.  WOW.

Cheers, Holley

SSS Challenge Time!

Hello!  It's time for a brand new contest over at the SSS Challenge blog. Our new theme is Anything Goes + Holiday.  Well I am sure you all know that HALLOWEEN is just my favorite holiday, so I chose Sherri Baldy's  Img3482 for this fun card.  Isn't she a cutie?

SLS Lines Challenge

A new challenge is starting over on the SLS Challenge site.  The theme this month is Die Cuts/Punches.  I am using this stunning image from SLS Lines called Goth Girl with Top Hat.  Isn't she great?  I love this image.

I am using a great die cut from spellbinders to cut out my image, a wonderful skull die cut from Frantic stamper and a skull border die cut from CC Designs.  I hope you will check out all the SLS Lines images and then join in our challenge this month sharing your fun die cuts too.

Cheers, Holley

Steampunk Betty

Here's an awesome Steampunk theme image from Simply Betty Stamps. I just love this artist's images.  Think I was steampunk enthusiastic after last week's card so I had to make another.  I pulled out this image from Simply Betty called Steampunk Corinne.

I added this fun sentiment from Jimbo Lojik, I totally adore the smart aleck comments that he has created for stamps.  Too funny.  I am guessing this lady definitely has a personality that some people can't handle.

Project Materials:  cardstocl (Bazzill, Neenah, AC); Image (Simply Betty Stamps); Sentiment (Jimbo Lojik stamps); Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilities, Frantic Stamper) Embossing (); Ink (Colorbox Chalk, Memento); Adhesives (pop dots, glue all); Color (Copic Markers);

DIY

Love this fun image from Stamping Chef, isn't she a bit Cheeky? ha!  She's got a clipboard that says Keep Calm & DIY.  I guess I am only a Do It Yourselfer when it comes to crafting. Just about everything else I leave up to the hubby to take care of.  I had to laugh at this adorable image though and it made me think of this hilarious saying that I have from Squigglefly.  HA!!

Hope you are all having a great week.  I am going to drop this card off for the Stamping Chef Challenge this week.  Drop over there and check it out!

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Neenah, HeidiGrace, unknown); Die Cuts (Spellbinders); Digi Stamps (Stamping Chef, Squigglefly); Buttons (misc); Die Cuts (Frantic Stamper, Penny Black); Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue all, Glue dots); Ink (Colorbox Chalk); Color (Copic markers);

Runaway Ruby

 Happy Friday everyone!  Here's a great Sweet Pea stamp from artist Regan Kubecek called Runaway Ruby.  Be sure and check out the artist's coloring of this image as my coloring gives you a totally different idea.  I am using all warm greys on the background so the girl stands out.  I just love the little Skull on her hat, around her neck and in her hair, so I added some great skull borders as well as some fun skill die cuts.  All my background/embellishments are in a three color combo, white-black-tan.

 

Here's a closeup of the image itself, which is currently available in Digital format.

Be sure and check out all of Regan Kubecek's stamps. She has some wonderful images in both rubber and digital format.
