I dedicate this site to the pursuit of papercrafting, be it scrapbooking or cardmaking, artwork or 3-d projects. This is to be my journal of what I will create and share. My goal is to post at least once a week, my wish, is to share my love and enjoyment of my hobby. Welcome to my journey I wish us a pleasant ride.

New SBS projects for this week.
3 new projects using simply Betty Stamps. The first is the image I won from the Tumbler 2 blog hop I am trying to color with copic markers rather than my usual colored pencils. #2 is a little bucket I got at Target I added Lil Pumpkin Lilly colored with pencils. #3 is a sign I got at Dollar General. It had a broken wooden pumpkin where Fall Frolic Betty now sits. I removed the pumpkin and added Betty and her little pal. I'm pretty happy with these but admit I need a lot more practice coloring with markers =)

Simple Girly Card
Here is my card for the Girly challenge at Pikes playground Colored my kitty with pink pencils and her jewels with silver and gold. I let my daughter pick out the embellishments, flowers hearts and sparkle on pink what could be more girly!
SBS Olympics
So I was really excited when this awesome challenge came up at Simply Betty's a different challenge each day celebrating the Olympics "Betty Style" My goal was to enter every day, I missed it by one challenge but am still pretty proud of myself! Here are my entries for each challenge and a description of what the challenge card was to be. I am a team USA girl.
Welcome to the 2012 SBS Olympics, today we launch our challenges with a
nice easy challenge. All you need do is create a project featuring an
SBS image and a Party Theme, because our Olympics is all about fun,
laughter, and spooky challenges.
Here is my card I used "Betty Munster" and thought of a queen waving her hanky to start a tournament of some kind. The hanky is a bit of purple tissue paper, I made the sentiment on the computer and the banner was an acrylic stamp I stamped 3 times in black then colored red white and blue for both USA and GB. Betty I colored with pencils.
For this card I used "Alex track", "Marcy Mummy" and "Rio Valentine" I chose to make Marcy and Rio grey and green zombie fans following Alex. The background is a print of a London over a paper I had of a western USA scene. I colored all 3 with pencils and added a punched heart to Marcy's hand.
Ok here I chose to use Devil Rio at the time a made the card I had no images with broomsticks ( yes I have rectified that situation now) Anyway I printed Rio twice flipping the image I drew my own broomheads to mount over her pitchfork. Colored them in Red White and Blue for our 2 teams and placed them on a gold ribbon tightrope. En Garde!
This one was so much fun I knew as soon as I read the challenge that I wanted to race my Coffin Surfboard. I found the coffin pic placed it in microsoft publisher and added "Surfer zombie Christian" whom I colored in red white and blue again, guess that was kinda my theme. I used a punch on the corners of the wave print which I colored with pencils and added it to a red card base.
So we have quite a few pets but 2 of them are still puppies brothers to be exact and sometimes very rowdy. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with this challenge till I saw "Betty Bolts and Baxter"
I colored betty in fun pink and black and colored 2 baxters exactly alike and an extra arm. The thrown baxter got a little overzealous and along with his wrench got a bit of his masters arm. ;)
For this challenge I used "glam rock Rio" thought she had a kind of Harlem globe trotter stance lol. I colored her in red and purple and added basketball stripes to my skull. I punched a firework paper to go behind my skull and red white and blue stars for my designer paper the card base is actually purple as is Rio's mat and the scallop around the skull. Basketskull anyone?
I used "spaghetti Christian" for my pumpkin server. I colored the spaghetti on the plate a green slime color stamped some pumpkins cut them out and placed them on top the slime on his plate. I mounted him on a scrap left over from the opening ceremonies challenge and used a silver embossed background this time on a dark blue card base.
So here is where I missed my goal :( No entry for me everyone did a great job here though.
I love this cupid! This is "Christian Valentine and Verity Vamp" Poor cupid got sent to shoot a vampire who obviously wouldn't mind being shot by handsome cupid. The smitten is a sticker I added flowers and pearls. All colored with pencils.
So this is my least fav. which I did in a matter of min's I know it shows I used "Lifeguard Christian and Rio summer" I did have fun coloring them but it was a last min thing.
Hope you made it through this huge post I had a lot of fun doing these and next time I will have to be a little better at my goals. :)
Day 1 Opening Ceremony
Here is my card I used "Betty Munster" and thought of a queen waving her hanky to start a tournament of some kind.

Betty I colored with pencils.
