I made this tag for my darling granddaughter's 2nd birthday.  I am sooooo happy with how it turned out.  I used the Cupcake Lola stamp from Simply Betty stamps and colored her in with Spectrum Noir markers.  I cut the tag out from tags, bags, boxes and more cricut cartridage as well as the number 2.  I stickles the 2 and the flourish behind Lola.  I used paper from some stash I had.  I hope you like it.  I would like to enter this into the latest Simply Betty Challenge Anything Goes Challenge.  Thanks for looking.

This is my newest coloring.  I used my Spectrum NOir markers and cut out the bats and the sentiment from Happy Hauntings cricut cartridge.  I added a colorful ribbon under the sentiment and added some Halloween colored gems across the top.  This stamp is called Little Bat Ali from Simply Betty's stamps.  She is one of my fave stamps.



 
I used the Beetle juice Simply Betty stamp to create this moving card.  I put Beetlejuice on a wobbler so he can move.  I am entering this into the Simply Betty Challenge 12 months of Halloween.  I colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers and cut out the sentiments with my cricut.  I used background paper from my stash.  Birthdays can be pretty scary!!!!

 
I would like to enter this into the anything goes challenge on Simply Betty Challenges.  I used my cricut to cut out the tag and layered it.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color in the Simply Betty Stamp.  I also added some roses and ribbon and a couple of stick pins.  I hope you like.

Summer Fun



Here is another SBS image.  She is called Water Balloon London and I layered it over a background stamp from Makin if Crafty Stamps.  I also used my Spectrum Noir markers to color London and the background image.  I added a flowered ribbon and cut out the sun from a Bo Bunny paper I had in my stash.  I don't remember the name of it.  I also added some "splats" around the words.  I would like to enter this into the Simply Betty Challenge Summer Fun.  Thanks for looking.

I would like to enter these tags into the Simply Betty Stamps Challenge for the Light/Dark Challenge.  I used the Little Shop of Horrors Rio stamp and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers on both.  I also used my Cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and more 2 for the tag.  The flowers are sprayed with Pearl glimmer mist and the purple is given its center with a Viva decor pen.  The blue is using a blue skittle that I had in my stash.  I pop dotted the stamps on both of the tags and used my crop a dile to punch holes and punch in my eyelets so I could add a ribbon to each one.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them.

Hidden Passages




I had such fun creating this card.  I used The Vampire Christian stamp from Simply Betty Stamps and I colored him in with my Spectrum NOir markers.  I also used a Martha Stewart punch to punch the mice at the bottom of Christian's feet.  I also used my corner chomper to add depth to the papers behind Christian and I used some fuzzy twine on the left.  I used my Cricut to cut Christian's cape from Everyday Paper dolls and used a magnet to close the cape.  I hope you like.

Another Simply Betty Stamp



I just love Simply Betty Stamps!!!  I have just fallen in love with them and am having such a fun time playing with them.  Here is another card that I did with the Morning Betty Stamp and my Spectrum Noir markers.  I used as the background behind Betty paper from the Graphic 45 co redinations line.  This one had clocks on it that I cut out a circle and sanded it.  I also used some DCWV paper for the background and Bazzill paper.  I used my cricut to cut out the word coffee with my from the kitchen cartridge.  I also did some inking and a ribbon and twine at the top.  Hope you like it.  I am also entering this into the Simply Betty challenge "Anything Goes".  Thanks for looking.

Simply Betty Birthday

 
I would like to enter this into the Simply Betty Stamps challenge for the Betty in you.  It is the Betty Munster Birthday stamp which I totally love!!  I used my new Spectrum Noir markers to color her in and I'm having so much fun learning how to use them!!  I also used my cricut elegant edges cartridge for the striped background, Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder for the green background and the light purple background is punched with a Martha Stewart edge punch.  I also used a pretty purple tulle ribbon threaded through a jeweled buckle.  This was a lot of fun to make.
