Happy Halloween!!!!  So sad that this is the last post of the 13th days of Halloween of  Simply betty .  And this time the challenge is to Alter something but it has to be something other than a journal or card. So I thought and thought about that one... I don't do many alterations... but I have seen some fabulous artist that do over at Smeared and Smudged Forum  and so I have to give thanks to them for the inspiration. My make was to transform a regular wood little box into something more!  And here's the picture of the before.  I had NEVER done anything of the kind... so it took me FOREVER!!! lol  There's lots of steps to this... My inspiration came also from the digi that I wanted to use for this  Amarantha Red Ribbon Digi So I removed all the hardware of the box and then used my Liquitex modeling paste all over the exterior of the box.  Inside I painted it with my Deco Art Royal Ruby. Once the exterior was dry I used Deco Ar...

Hello and Happy Halloween to those of you that celebrate it!  It's my last time hosting the blog of Digi bells dt  as a GDT.  I really want to say a big thank you for the fabulous Digi Bells Team!  It's been a real joy to be amongst such talented ladies even if it went by way too fast! Because it's Halloween I thought I would use the great  Pumpkin Fairy Ellora .   It's such a cutie who's quite strong to be able to carry that pumpkin almost as big as her!!! So here's my card with this great image.

Hello everyone!  There's a new release over at  Fresh Brewed Designs . And for my make I decided to make something different I guess!  And  so I made a tag for this make.   I used a great Snow delicious wintercake for this.

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at  Meljens designs dt  and this time it's about a hidden element.  So for my make I used the a few images this time!  One that's hidden :) I used the great  Fish or Treat cat  and the fun  Cutie Skull

Hello everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at  Simply Betty Stamps . For this new challenge it's time it's about making it hairy, fuzzy, or feathers! So for mine I went totally literally and did the Howling at the moon :) The image that I used for this card is the great  Hooowlloween Miller Digi

Hello!  It's time for my inspiration for the Inky impressions rubber stamps  inspirational blog and for this post I decided to make another little Fall card with the great   Lili playing in the leaves . This time around I used only a portion of the great stamp.  I thought I would show you how it can be used in different ways! And here's my little card with her.  I thought it was perfect for fall.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Digi Choosday . This time around the challenge of using lace was a lot easier for me!   Not so long ago I never used it at all but now I have a whole stash of it!  When I decided to use the great  Maddie Shy   that you can also find in the great  Pretty sweet collection .  I really love the pink and the black together!

Ok... so I couldn't resist playing over at  Simply Betty FB group .  There was a freebie given out and you had to interpret how you wanted to play with the great Demonic Babe. I'm not feeling too good... So I figured I would play it dark :)  I went monochromatic colors but this time with the warm greys.  I added just a touch of red for her lips

Hello!  So I'm still not feeling up to much... and I really really didn't want to miss out on the progressive challenge over at  From the heart stamps .  I got the set for this month free for playing last month. I was super relieved when I saw that the current sketch that they had over at the blog and the twist was CAS!  So I figured this would be what I would do for this!

Hello!  So it's time for a new challenge over at  Simply Betty  and this time it's about Witches!!!!  But of course it can't be just the simple challenge of using a witch... it had to be something far off... lol So it's have your witch fly off the page... using pop up dots or wobble or something... So that got me thinking of my initial card that I did to get into this fab competition.  I had used acetate to make my witch fly.  Of course I couldn't just do a card like I had done then because that would be lame... so I thought about what I could make... and ended up with a House! So here it is using my Cameo silhouette and some imagination.  There's lots of pictures in this post... sorry in advance lol  I printed the fabulous  Witchy Mrs Boo  twice reversed so that I could place them on top of one another. I added some foam stickers to this, a little charm spider dangling from the front door Here's a closer look at that colored d...

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a crafty weekend!!!!  I did check out stuff online but my mojo was off... so didn't create anything Friday nor Saturday!  So today I got up my courage and decided to tackle one of the progressive challenge before I'm too late for it! This challenge is the great  Deedees digis .  I got the set free since I had participated last month.  But you can get it in the store for a very low price. Here's my make with this super cute set.  I put the little sentiment on the little board next to the pumpkin and mouse.

Hello!  It's time for the next challenge over at  Simply Betty Stamps  and this time around it's about zombies! So I had fun making something with the great  Zombie Babe Betty And I made something that I don't normally do which is more altered art... I used a little wood coffin that I painted in beige... then I painted it black and did a crackle finish.  I don't  know why but my crackling is never really good.... so I did some sanding to distress it a bit more... I made it like she's coming out of the coffin. I colored her with my copics.  And fussy cut her out.  I added a bunch of webbing and a spider. Here's a closer look of the open view And a closer look at the digi which was soooo fun to color! I'm entering this make in the following challenges: Haunted design house  - Halloween - adult version.  I think my coffin makes a good decoration but it's not the cutie type.... Left of center challenges  - Hallowe...

Hello! It's going to be a short post.... not feeling all that well... didn't sleep well :(  And didn't have the energy to prepare the post yesterday and that's what happens when it's not pre-done.... Anyway enough on me!  I'm here to share with you a card that was made with a fabulous pre-colored image from  Doodle Pantry .  The set that I'm using can be found here Carousel Deer : I think it's a  really great set for Christmas!

So there's one challenge that I really really try not to miss.... and I was totally going to miss it this time around and it's the  Dilly beans challenge !  So I put together a really simple little Halloween make... but I'm thinking it's pretty good... Hope you like it as well... I used the great image called  578-num-num . And here's the card that I made with this great image!

Hey everyone!  How was your day?  It was a hard one for me... I have no mojo... so I try to force some coloring...  and today it was a scary time to be a Canadian.... not something that we are used too here... having 2 attacks to our military (one Monday here in the province of Quebec) and one today at Ottawa it's pretty scary.... My thoughts and prayers are with those who died and their families! I'm sure that you are not here to read about the news... so I'll share with you a little card that I made with a digi from a fellow Canadian artist My whimsical little world it's the great   Spooky Owl .  I made this card for my dad for his Halloween.... he loves owls and I thought it would be perfect. I used a sketch because right now the challenge over at  My whimsical little world  is about using a sketch which is great when the mojo is lacking... so using a sketch really really helps!!

Hello everyone!  It's time for the newest challenge over at  Digichoosday  and this time it's Birthday. It's such a great challenge b-day!!!!

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at the FB group of  The East Wind  and this time around it's about animals!  That's pretty easy since there are so many fun and fabulous digis from The East wind featuring animals!!!!

Hello everyone! For our 19th challenge over at Path of positivity our theme is Courage! And our fabulous sponsor is Sparkle n sprinkle For this card I used the great Note Boy 1 for my card!  I thought he really represented well that theme because when you need Courage one of the best way to get it is through reminders from your friends!  And so sending little notes to let a friend know that you are thinking of them through difficult time can help them have the courage to go through the difficult time.

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Simply Betty  for the 13 days of Halloween and this one is SUPER easy to do!!!!  It's embossing!  Told you it was easy!!!! For my make I used the very fun image  Summerween Betty

Ahhhhh feeling sooooo blah today!!!!!  It's good that I had a card that I haven't shared with you yet made for the Progressive challenge that had gone on over at  Create with TLC . This one is called Vintage Tea Party.  Nope I would not be up to a tea party today... having trouble just getting out of my pjs.... The card is pretty simple. The image was recolored to make it look like burlap over in my word document.

Hello!  It's time for another challenge over at  Simply Betty Stamps  and this time around the challenge is about traditional Halloween colors - orange, purplu, lime green and black. So... for my make I used the great image Little Ali Pumpkin But I didn't do the traditional card for her... I decided to make a little Halloween jar :)  I did those for Christmas and they were a big hit! So I printed the image twice reversed so that I could put her back to back and this way whichever way the jar is it's pretty.
