After all Jack Skellington manages to do so every year at Disneyland, we can to!

I used the very cute Rio Trimming the Tree Digi Stamp and you can get her ---HERE--- She was colored with Copics and Stickles. My Not so Creepy tree was made with a Tim Holtz Die. I added some Jolee's Lights, Pearls and Flower Soft. I also used Flower Soft to outline my card and added some Red Stickles for my berrys. My Merry Christmas Sticker is from KandCo. The Background paper is some RAK paper that Betty sent me from her store.

I just love these new kids

Today Simply Betty Stamps are introducing the Sweet Gothic World Kids! By Artist Claudia Patron Perez  Claudia is a freelance artist, a Mexico native and wow is she absolutely amazing! You have to check out her Deviant Art Gallery here! She is wonderful you will see.

I used Sally and Scott on my card and colored them with Copics. I used Star Dust Stickles all over my card. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distressed Ink. I cut out the mats with Spellbinders Label Seventeen. The sketch I followed for this card is from Midnight Madness (MMSC81). I added some pearls and mesh lace and some flower petals. My background paper is from My Minds Eye- Alphabet Soup Girl, Little Princess, that Betty was so kind to send me via RAK (Random Act's of Kindness).

To keep the card closed I have hidden magnetic discs under neither the mats that were pop dotted to give lots of layers.

I also made a matching box for my card. The lucky birthday girl already got this card and loved it. 
 

So here is the line up from left to right:

Judy, Sally, Wednesday, Tilly, Alex, and Scott

The Beary Scrap Reindeers say Don't Wake Santa

It's all about Reindeer Games and when our challenge was to create a banner I knew what I was going to do.

I made a vertical banner. I made just the reindeer heads as peekers from the Reindeer Acrylic Pattern and Mulberry Paper. My background paper is from My Minds Eye the Holly Jolly line, and I say it all the time but I just love this paper. I actually had some card stock from Bazzill that was part of a kit for making a Board Book that I used for my squares.  I matched up my holes on the bottom and punched them out to add my chain. I added some eyelets from my stash. I added Vintage Christmas Flower Soft the the whole outside of my squares. I also added Twinklets Diamond Dust, I wish I had more sun today when I took these pictures so you could really see it sparkle. I misted my paper with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. I punched out my holly leaves with a Martha Stewart punch and added Holly Stickles and BoBunny Brads for my berries. I cut my frames out with Spellbinders and added Mulberry Flowers. I used buttons from Bobunny to lace my ribbon thru and added bows.

I REALLY LOVED MAKING THIS I MUST SAY AGAIN

Now don't forget that you have till the end of the month to enter our

The Beary Scraps Anything Go's Challenge

Who doesn't love a challenge where

Anything Go's

for our new challenge at The Beary Scrap. Don't you just love a challenge that you have the freedom to do your own thing. This challenge allowed me to use some really pretty paper from My Mind's Eye from the Holly Jolly line. That paper has to be some of the prettiest paper so far I have seen this season.

I used one of the new Magnolia Stamps that you can get on pre-order from The Beary Scrap Store Jolly Tilda and I have her sitting on the Armchair. The chair and Tilda are both pop dotted to make her more 3D.

I also used Vintage Christmas Flower Soft and added red glitter while it was still wet. I really wish the picture showed that because it's really pretty with the red glitter. I added some buttons I picked up at Walmart. I colored Tilda with Copics and added Diamond Dust to the white parts of her hat. I also added Stickles to the letters by the armchair and to the outline of the Christmas Ornament on the designer paper. My Tis the Season is from the matching Accessory Sheet from MME.

Simply Betty Challenge #6 Thanksgiving Place Settings

Hello Simply Betty Fans are you ready for a really fun challenge this week.

Thanksgiving Place Settings.

This was a fun and different challenge I really liked this one.

Here are my place cards.

I used Jude and his Shenanigan Crew Thanksgiving Digis and you can get them ---HERE---

  I colored them with Copics and added Stickles. I cut my place settings with my Cricut and I used the Lacy Labels Cartridge. I punched out my Maples leaves with a Martha Stewart punch. The name tags were computer printed and cut out with Spellbinders Double Ended Tags. I added some ribbon, pearls and brads. My background paper is from last years stash from Debbie Mumm.
Now lets see what you can make. You don't have to use Jude and his Shenanigan Crew but you do have to use a Simply Betty Stamp for the challenge. After you make you place settings enter them ---HERE--- on the Simply Betty Challenge Blog.

The Beay Scrap Sketch Challenge Plus

 It's time for another sample from our Sketch Challenge this week plus an added twist for the Design Team. We had to add Apple, Pumpkin, Pear. We could take this anyway we wanted to. I choose to pull the colors.

(sorry about the off color picture I had to take this at night I will try to change it out when I can get a daylight picture they flower is a really pretty lime green)

I used papers from Basic Grey, Doodlebug Design and My Minds Eye.

I made a cute owl using one of the Acrylic Paper Piecing Patterns Owen the Owl and I made him with Rich Red and Cream Mulberry Paper.

I used Fleur De Lis Spellbinders for my background mat. I layered 3 different colored ribbons and added White Pearls. I also hand made my Mulberry flower and added Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. Now I challenged myself to play with more than one color of Stickles, I get so used to using the same color all the time that I used 5 different colors this time, I used Cinnaman, Orange Peel, Copper, Xmas Red, and Crystal. Now I have 46 different colors and it's about time I tried using more. We get so set in our ways sometimes we have to force ourselves to try something new. Now 2 weeks ago in our Ask The Designers I commented on how I store my Stickles and here is a picture of how I do that along with how I store some of my most used ribbon.

I store my Stickles upside down and have them attached with velcro dots on velcro strips. I use the soft dot for the bottle. My ribbon is on really thin curtain rods and added hooks that were 2 1/2" away from the wall so my ribbon can spin, plus I think it looks so pretty.

Now don't forget you have till November 14th to enter our Sketch Challenge and you can enter your card ---HERE---.

Don't forget to find us on Facebook and become a fan.
