Release the Zombies!

The Zombies have invaded Simply Betty Stamps. Luckily for me, these Zombies aren't as gruesome as some other ones I have seen (not that there is anything wrong with them, I just cant handle them. I'm a wuss like that, lol!)

My card today is a bit out of my norm. I distressed it more than usual, almost to the point of making it look dirty (which isn't really my style); But hey between you and me, the zombies aren't the cleanest so it's OK. Lol!

Click HERE to see all the Zombies.

In order to see the full form of these funny zombies, pop on over to Simply Betty Stamps Blog to check them out. While you are there, leave a comment for your chance to win a zombie of your own. Plus Betty has some great discount codes for your buying pleasure.  

Ps. Check out this sentiment. Isn't it the coolest? It was just meant to be ;D
This is a super sneak peek of a new Crafty Sprouts sentiment set that will be previewed later on this week. Don't forget that previews for Crafty Sprouts begin this afternoon at 2pm PST. See you then. There will be goodies up for grab :)

I'm entering into Graphicat Sketches September Challenge - Anything Goes. Cheri likes her sarcastic humor so I'm hoping this sentiment will make her laugh. Lol.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lil Victorian Christmas Release Day

** Please scroll down for my Designer Spotlight at The Greeting Farm **


Happy Day! I'm here with my final card for the Tickled Pink Lil Victorian Christmas Lolita and Lad Collection. I conjured up another one of my creations and combined Kellita and Lestat. I went for a Vintage Winter Wedding look. What do you think, can it pass off as a wedding card?  

** Again please note that both images were altered. Please hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog to see the images in their full form**


Today is Release Day for this wonderful vintage collection. However, there is a bit of Internet problems so please make sure you check back later. Click the link for the Tickled Pink Shop. Also if you haven't had a chance to comment on all 6 days, what are you waiting for. You can win your very own Vintage Lolita or Lad. Thanks for stopping by/commenting!

I used the Pink {Ink} Sketch #5. I will be submitting to: RCC19 - Anything Goes. Paper Sundaes - Finishing Touches. TPE116 - Vintage Theme. TPS#36 - Chipboard (My sentiment tag is a flimsy chipboard that I was experimenting on)

See you soon with some awesome Simply Betty Stamp previews.

Designer Spotlight at The Greeting Farm

Hello Farm fans and Happy Monday!!
Today is my day to be Spotlighted at The Greeting Farm Blog. I'm still reeling over the fact that I'm September's Guest Farmer and that I get to spend time with the lovely and talented Farm Ladies and the uber cute Anyas, Chibis and Creepers.

For those of you that do not know how I began my stay here on blogger here is a quick run down: I began my crafting adventure a few years back after a friend convinced me to go to a scrapbooking party. I was thoroughly against it at first but after visiting the craft stores several times, I could no longer resist and I gave in. heheh. I wanted to preserve my pictures and memories in a fun and colorful way and I became a Cricut girl. However after being on blogger, I came across digi and rubber stamps. I quickly became enamored because they reminded me of the days of when I enjoyed coloring and creating my mini pieces of art. Now after a year, I consider myself a true bonafide stamping girl. I do still own my cricut machine and I still love it and create projects with it but it is rare. I now first turn to my Prismacolor Pencils (my medium choice) and my purple envelope (this is where I keep images printed out or stamped ready to be colored).

As I said, when I first came on blogger I was a cricut gal but what lured me over to digis and stamps was The Greeting Farm. I came across their Wonderland Digi Set and I knew there and then that I was in love. In honor of that I decided to showcase a project featuring this set. 

I, like many of you, am a HUGE fan of Wonderland. I just love everything it stands for. Granted, I may never fully understand it and always wonder why a “Raven is like a writing desk”, however I will enjoy using images such as these to create artwork that allows me to spend and relish my time down the rabbit hole.  I also chose to create a project that featured digital stamps because I love the versatility of them and I wanted to show it to you.

The versatility of the digis allowed me to blow up the mushrooms many times over so that I may get the effect of the giant mushrooms. I also shrunk the Alice and the white rabbit to add the scene I created.

Here is my final product. It is an altered picture frame that will be used in a scrapbook.  I first covered the base with DCWV Green Stack Paper and then I glued on top my colored images. Easy Peezy :)

Here’s an extra project I wanted to show you featuring the white rabbit. I created this a while back when I announced my Guest Spot for The Altered Alice (loooooove that team and I'm sad my guest spot is coming to an end) but I thought I would throw it for fun/reminder. At first glance you may think its a card but it is actually a large embellishment I created for a scrapbook page that is about me. Although I'm a bit embarrassed to officially admit it, I can be like the white rabbit (in this case a black bunny) and run a bit a late, late, late from time to time. Lol.

Thanks for letting me share a little bit of me and for stopping by. Please make sure you come back all this week for some fun new previews from Crafty Sprouts featuring Greeting Farm cuties and Simply Betty Stamps. See you soon!

Im joining Kristy's (Some Odd Girl) fun linky party that features our fave project of the week. This was a difficult choice for me, lol, but Im choosing the frame as my favorite project of the week. I dont know if its my best work of the week but I really love the concept of it, so I'm going with it :)

Lil Victorian Christmas: Lylah and Damon

Happy Friday! Yay!!!
I'm back with another Tickled Pink Preview.  The Lil Victorian Christmas Lolita and Lad (Whoa! that's a mouthful. Say that 10 times. lol) Ok ok, the collection is already on day 4 of previews. Today's preview is this gorgeous gal Lylah. I did a little playing on my computer and decided to make Lylah part of a happy couple. I paired her up with Damon, who was yesterdays preview. He looks a bit Scrooge like, doesn't he? Lol, but it doesn't matter because Lylah's smile makes up for it. So what do you think? Do they look in love?? 

** Please note that both images were extremely altered by me. Please make sure you head over to the Tickled Pink blog to see the full and true form of the stamps** 


I decided to combine my TPS preview with my DT Friday project from Crafty Sprouts. For those of you that do not know, DT Friday is a reminder of the current challenge going on. The weeks challenge is "Get in Shape" Lol, I know sounds funny :) but do not fret, the challenge isn't about exercising it's about creating a shaped card.  I used the Text Talk set from Crafty Sprouts. Please note that I also altered my sentiment. The original sentiment says "I {heart} texting" but I masked off texting and stamped You on the inside of the card. I thought I heart You was more appropriate for my card :D  It looks like I like to alter. lol. 

I will be playing with: RCC19 - Anything Goes. PaperPlay Challenges - 2 images. TPS#36 - Chipboard (My sentiment tag is a flimsy chipboard that I was experimenting on)

Ok so Ive taken up enough of your Friday :) Make sure you head over to to Tickled Pink Stamps to see the Gorgeous Pink Lady creations and make sure to comment for a chance to win your own Lylah and Damon. Also, make sure you head on over to Crafty Sprouts to see what my DT Sisters created for you. They are soooooo cute! Plus you have a chance to win some Peachy goodness if you play along.

Thanks for stopping by/commenting.
Im playing along with a cute new game Kristy, owner of Some Odd Girl just started. Choose your best project of the week: This is my best project :)

Friends are Flowers...

Happy Labor Day!


I'm here today to share a semi quick project on how to gift a picture. I say semi-quick because for me nothing is ever 2 minutes but for some of you that don't dwell 10 hours on every little step (lol) you should be done in 30 minutes.

On the outside, it looks like a card. You can decorate as you please. In fact you probably don't need to add much to it but sometimes I cant stop adding embellishments. :) I choose to use the Brand New Boho Anya. Isn't she the sweetest? I just love her Boho Chic look and I just love that she makes me use colors (yellow and green) that are outside my comfort zone. For this Boho Anya, I thought I would paper piece her hair and skirt, add more Chic to her look. Lol. My sentiment (which I think is perfect for this Anya) comes from Crafty Sprouts Besties for Life set (this set is currently Sold Out but will be shipping again mid month).

To decorate the inside, just add a few layer of cs. Then you can attach your picture and write a friendly note. Easy peezy. Lol! 

I will be playing:
Sketch Saturday #171. PaperPlay Challenge - I created my own mini roses. Some Odd Girl - Paper Piece. RCC18 - All Tied Up. Scrapbookaholic by Abby- Last Challenge: Anything Goes. My Craft Spot - Friends are the Best.
