Let it Snow!

Have you seen the New Dilly Bean's Challenge Blog?

I just love Megan's designs and now I can play

with them weekly!

I even made the Top 3 in The Twisted Christmas Challenge.

It's an honor, there were some really awesome projects.

Megan even gave out this fun Snow Family Digi

for the Snow Family Challenge.

So here is my entry.

Have a great week!

Holiday Cheer Tag

It's been awhile since I have got to play along with

a TGF Farm Fresh Challenge, but I finally am.

This challenge is to use a retro 

TGF image on a tag.

Here is my tag on a actual gift.

A closer look

Cheeky Christmas is just too cute!

Have a Happy Holiday!

Sweet Pea Gift

It's time for another

Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge

We want you to make a gift!

I love receiving gift cards and I enjoy giving

them as well. And this year I wanted to make something

to put them in. I found this really easy gift card holder tutorial
on YouTube. You can see it here.

I am all about quick and easy and this is super easy.

It's basically a folder to put your gift card inside.

There are two pockets, one for the tag and one for the gift card.

And you can decorate the outside.

I used this super cute Christmas image from

Seasons of Fantasy Plate 23.

Can't wait to see your creations!

Twisted Christmas

Well it's just 12 days till Christmas and are you ready yet?

No, me either. I still have to mail out some packages, finish

up more cards and buy a few last gifts.

But I really wanted to play along with

The New Dilly Bean Challenge Blog,

I missed the first challenge just not enough days in

the week. But I finally finished this one to play along

with the Twisted Christmas theme.

I just love this little Zombie Christmas Elf.

I used the current sketch at deconstructing Jen.

I just love her sketches!

Happy Crafting!

Ohhh, He's the Oogie Boogie Man!

It wouldn't be Christmas at The Burtonesque Dolls without the most beloved Burton Villain Oogie Boogie! We challenge you to create a Christmas Project and include your version of the Oogie Boogie Man!

I had a lot of fun making this card, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for Mr. Boogie. If you are familiar with Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday then you know where the inspiration for this card came from. It's one of my favorite parts of the ride! Enjoy!

I Witch you a Merry Christmas...

It's Day 5 of The 12 Days of Christmas and today we were challenged to use our favorite SBS Witch for the Holidays. I went with Witch Betty of course! I used the Christmas Tree from Rio trimming the tree, I think they paired up nicely.

The prize today is really cool, the winner gets to pick a personalized Digi, very cool! I don't think that this card will be a winner today, but I just love playing along. And I am doing all 12 days so I can be in the running for the Design Team Guest spot for January, wish me luck! Thanks for looking!

Do I Smell Candy?...Canes?...

12 Days of Christmas Challenge Day 4 is...
Sugar and Spice and everything Scary! We were to create a project with Scary Christmas elements! I chose to use Mummy Lola and Candy Cane London they are both so cute! Lola is hunting for Candy Canes, one of my personal favorite things. The red around her mouth is not blood, it's pieces of candy! LOL
Thanks for looking!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree your branches are so dry and Creepy!

It's day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge at Simply Betty Stamps and Betty has added a twist to a traditional Christmas song.
So you can guess what the challenge is right... using any SBS image incorporate a Creepy Christmas Tree! In my opinion you can't get any creeper than Daniel Torrente's Images by Stampotique. Thanks for looking!

Merry Grinch-mas?

It's day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge at Simply Betty Stamps and what's Christmas without The Grinch! We have been challenged to create a Grinch-mas project.

One of my favorite parts of the Rhyme/Movie is The Grinch's dog Max, poor puppy! I just had to use that as my inspiration. I used the cute little puppy from SBS Betty image and Ba Hum Bug Christian as my Grinch. Thanks for looking!

12 Days of Christmas Challenge!

The 12 Days of Christmas Challenge has started at Simply Betty Stamps, one of my favorite stamp companies as you well know! Day one is create a Christmas card using a SBS Halloween image.

I used Fairy Elaine from the Victorian Beauties Halloween Collection, she makes a good snow princess. I'm not sure that you can tell from the pictures but I used a lot of Diamond Sparkles to glitter her up. The white background paper is also glittery as well as the blue snowflake. Thanks for looking!

Ready Set Snow!

Ready set snow! Not even close, not here in Southern California, unless your up in the mountains. Wouldn't it be fun to have a race holding a snow man, kinda like those spoon egg races you have at easter?

Anyway this card was made for Lil Lolita Challenges, the theme was Anything Goes Christmas Style. I used Lil Christmas Frankie and made him a little bit of a misfit, with his black hair and black and white tights.
Thanks for looking!
