Baby Mess London

Yesterday Simply Betty released a set of adorable little toddlers.  I posted them all together but wanted to showcase each one today.  

This one is my sisters favorite of the five babies.  She is called Baby Mess London.  I just love all the mess she is making.  She is colored up with my Copics of course.  I wanted to go simple with these babies to just focus on the stamp itself.  The papers are all from Oriental Trading.

Hope you have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by.

Baby Teens from SBS

Hi everyone.  Simply B Stamps has some new adorable Teen Scene babies for you today.  I am showcasing 5 of them but there are 8 in total.  They are just the cutest little things aren't they.  I left them all CAS because I ran out of time.  My AMAZING cousin, sister and niece spent the last week helping me lose my Queen Messy Desk title.  My studio has been a wreck for years and I couldn't find a thing.  They worked so hard to help me out and I am so appreciative.  Thanks to Candy, Robin and Bianca!!!!

Since I now know where everything is, I had an idea.  I have tons of supplies I forgot I even bought.  If anyone would like to see me do something special in a project, please leave me a comment and suggestion.  I will randomly choose one and do it.  I like to be challenged especially now that I can find everything.

Now back to business.  Betty has an amazing giveaway for you.  Here are the details in Betty's words:

Seeing how we are continuing our awesome 4th Birthday celebration we have yet another fun little contest!  This is for a HUGE package of ALL and any Teen Scene lines that release  from July 2014 through December 2014!  Yep any Teen Scene full lines that release between those dates!  What's the contest?  Why another challenge of course!

Using any of the new Teen babies create one project and do NOT use any traditional baby colors: Light Pink, Yellow, Baby Blue, Baby Green.  NOTHING pastel and nothing traditional baby!
You have until the 29th of June @ 4:59 PM PST to create your projects and upload them to the linky tool below!

Please head over to our design team's blogs and check out what they did and leave them some love.  Feel free to leave me some too.  I could use it right now.

Birthday Betty Boos Blog Hop

Birthday Goddess

Pinata

Hello everyone.  As you know, Simply B Stamps turned 4 this month so we are having a blog hop to celebrate.  If you arrived here from the oh-so-talented Emily, then you are on the right track.  If not, don't worry, the entire hop list is posted below.  Please make sure you start from the beginning because all the hop details will be posted on the SBS blog.

Betty has created 4 new Birthday Betty Boos for you.  They can be found here.  They are so stinkin' adorable.  The first card I did was the Birthday Goddess.  I started coloring her blond hair and asked my niece what color her dress should be.  She said "my signature color pink of course", you know because she has blond hair and is a Goddess herself.  MWAH Grace! On the second card, I used a piece of striped paper that I just love.  I thought it had pinata colors to it.  I embossed the brown background but I am afraid you can't see it very well in the picture.  I really need to take photography lessons.

Well that's all the babbling I will do so you can continue the hop.  Your next stop is the fantastic Tanja.  You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge #173 Blog Hop!!!

Hello everyone.  It is time for a fabulous blog hop by KennyK's Krafty Krew.  If you arrived here from the amazing Nick's blog, you are on the right track.  I would like to share my project using Pitstop Penny.  My nephew-in-law's (is there such a thing?) birthday is coming up and he is a huge racing fan.  I asked my niece to pick out the image she thought he would like.  Her instructions were simple, use lots of red and yellow and maybe some racing flags.  And that about sums my card up in a nutshell.  I hope Kyle likes it.  Happy birthday Kyle.  Take care of my girls.

Next on the hop is Wonder Regan.  Please head on over to her blog and check out what she made for your inspiration.  If you got lost along the way, here is the entire list.

Corrosive Challenges #200 Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to the 200th Corrosive Challenges challenge!!!  Can you believe it?!  Boy does time fly.  To celebrate, we have tons of sponsors, tons of prizes and a fabulous blog hop.  Each design team member has sponsors and prizes to give away on their blogs.  We will each pick our winners from those who leave us a comment.  We also have a grand prize from Crafts and Me.

 

 If you arrived here from the ever-so-talented Rachelle, you are on the right track.  If not, I have the entire list posted at the bottom so you can start at the beginning.  I am showcasing images from two of our sponsors.  The first is Lacy Sunshine and the prize I get to give away is 3 fabulous digis.  The image below is Eleanor & Pickles Hula Dancers.  Isn't is just the cutest?

The next sponsor I am showcasing is Delicious Doodles.  The prize I get to give away there is 4 fabulous digis.  I picked out Skully Santa for my card.  I have a reason why too.  When I was making my Christmas cards this December, I picked out an image that had a skull on the bottom.  It was barely noticeable.  My friend told me that "Christmas is not about skulls" which I heard and changed my card.  When I saw this image, I had to do it.  I hope it gives her a laugh.

Isn't he the coolest thing?!  I have two different people who would love to receive this card.  Now I just have to decide which one to give it to.  Decisions, decisions.  Below you will find the full blog hop list.  Please leave me a comment for your chance to win and then keep hopping.  The super talented Wonder Regan is next.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.

SBS Commissions Release

Hi everyone.  I have an announcement to make.  I was on the Simply Betty Stamps design team a long time ago when she was first starting out.  I have now rejoined the team and I am so excited to be back.  As you know, Betty works fast and is always coming out with something great.

Every now and then Betty, from Simply Betty Stamps, opens up 

Commissions for you to purchase.  A commission is something that is drawn up just for you with your idea, but her drawing style.. They are usually $45 but she does a special for $25 every once in a while. Here is the newest set of Commissions. Each person has given her permission to sell the image they commissioned. When they give permission to sell the image, they get the rest of that specific set for free.

I had so much fun coloring all of these images.  Believe it or not, there are even more than just the five here.  If you head over to the SBS blog, you can see gorgeous samples made by the fabulous design team.  And don't forget to head over to the SBS shop to get your own.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day.
