Over at Simply Betty Stamps we did a Valentine's Bucket Swap.  My Valentine Buddy was Stacey Stratis and this is what she sent me.  OMG!!!  I'm in heaven!!!  She sent all kinds of goodies, which, by the way, I have already started using on some projects.  She sent me flowers, stamps, brads, ribbon, paper, and lots of embellies.  Oh, and can't forget the chocolate!!!  Thank you Stacey, for all the wonderful gifts.  Can't forget the awesome card she made too.  It is beautiful!!! 

The first photo shows how she sent it all wrapped up and pretty!!!  I couldn't wait to open it and see what was inside!!! The photo on the right shows all of the wonderful goodies she sent.

I am so thrilled with all of the fun stuff!!!  Thanks again Stacey!!!  Oh, and the full list of blogs on the hop are below.  The next on your way is

Over at Simply Betty Stamps Fan Group, a call was put out to all of us asking if we would like to take part in a blog hop for Betty's daughter Rio.  We made cards, tags and lots of fun stuff for Rio's birthday.  You should have started out here http://simplybettystamps.blogspot.com/.  Your next stop after this is http://www.stampersgonewild.blogspot.com/. Happy Birthday Rio!!!!  I hope it's a fun one.  I decided that this little spider spun out the words "Happy Birthday" in his web.  Enjoy!!!  I added stickles to the ruffles on Zombie Rio's skirt and on the top of her bodice.  I also stickled the spider on her headband.  Of course the spiderweb and the sentiment are also stickled.   Have fun checking out all the fun creations.  Here is mine:

On Simply Betty's facebook page, we have a wonderful group of woman who decided we would like to do a Secret Santa.  What fun I had doing this.  We didn't know who our Secret Santa was and were to choose gifts for our recipient.  Well, This is what I got from my Secret Santa, Lisa Nelson!!!  A gift certificate for Simply B Stamps to spend on whatever I want!!!  Whoooo Hooooo!!!  Thanks so much Lisa, I love it!!!  It is a wonderful and generous gift!!!  A very Merry Christmas to you and to all of the ladies on this site!!!  You are a wonderful group!!!

Here is a card I made using The Cackling London image from Simply Betty Stamps.  I also added some mesh type backing behind the image and used the Trick or Treat mica fragments from Stampendous under the caldron.  I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers and added an apothecary bottle which I filled with some Martha Stewart lime green glitter.  I then attached a Halloween toad charm to the bottle.  I am entering this in the Simply Betty Challenge anthing goes.  I hope you like.  Thanks for looking.

I made this card for my granddaughter for Halloween and used The Little Bat Ali stamp from Simply Betty Stamps.  I also used my Gypsy and my Cricut for the Lettering and the bats and the layered background.  I colored her in with my Spectrum Noir Markers.  I am entering this into Simply Betty's Anything Goes Challenge.  I hope you like it.  Thanks for looking.

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.
