Wow!!  It's Valentine's Day already.  I just can't believe how quickly the days are flying by.  Anyway, over at Simply Betty Stamps fanpage, Betty hosted a Valentine's Swap.  I was lucky enough to have Tina Ondrus Keller as my swap partner.  I feel so spoiled with everything she sent me.  I can't wait to set some time aside and play with my new things.  Thank you so much Tina, I love everything!!  I don't know how you knew, but I especially love Glimmer Mists!!!  They are so hard to find out here now.  Thank you again!!!  Here is what Tina sent to me.  See what I mean about being spoiled!!

Hello everyone.  It is time for the Blog Hop for the Summerween Swap over at Simply Betty Stamps Fanpage.  My partner was Emily Thubbron.  Sadly, I haven't received a package or any pics to show you of what I may have gotten.  But, I do have pics of what I sent to her.  I do hope that she enjoys these items as I had fun picking them out.  Anyway, here are the pics of what I sent to Emily.  Here is Emily's blog: http://www

SBS July Fanpage Challenge

 

 

 

 

Whoop!  Whoop!  It's that time again!!!  Mermaids have been sighted.  This month's challenge images are awesome.  First up is Betty Mermaid, Bettina Mermaid, Corinne Mermaid and Sheri Mermaid.  I decided I wanted to put them all together as one image and use them on one project as I have got so many pics to scrap still.  This was an opportunity to scrap a couple of my granddaughter's swimming pictures.  She is coming along wonderfully!!  As of yesterday, she is now swimming under water and doesn't even have to hold her nose!  She tells me it is really awesome!!  I agree with her.  She is my pride and joy.  Anyway, the challenge is as follows:  for Betty Mermaid you must use jewels, Bettina Mermaid is heat embossing , Corinne Mermaid is glitter and for Sheri Mermaid you must use twine or ribbon.  The challenge and all of the details are here:   http://simplybettystamps.blogspot.com/p/march-fan-page-challenge.html

Go have a look and join in the fun!!

Here are pics of my project.  I used heat embossing on the pearl behind the image of the mermaids, which is also embossed with the cuttlebug folder tiny bubbles.  There is glitter on the words Just Add Water (very appropriate where my granddaughter and her love of water is concerned!) and on the plants, the starfish and the large clam.  Betty is wearing a pearl necklace and I also added a string of pearls and there is also a pearl in the large clam.  The picture matting has twine on both of them.  I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the images.

 

Here is the blog list so get hopping!!

Simply Betty Stamps:   May FanPage Challenge

Here is my images colored.  I just haven't had a chance to put them on a project as I've been extremely busy.  Come join us for the challenge Here:   http://simplybettystamps.blogspot.com/p/march-fan-page-challenge.html

Easter Challenge

Gerda Steiner Designs is hosting another challenge here at http://gerdasteinerdesigns.com/challenge2/

Come on over and join in on the fun!!  This little chick in his egg was so cute to color.  I decided I was going to do tags to add to all of the Easter Baskets I am doing this year.  I colored him up with my Spectrum Noir Markers and used some Spellbinders/ Xyron dies for the tag portion.  I added some flowers from Wild Orchid Flowers and some leaves.  I also ran across the top a small portion of ribbon.  Added to the left is some Candy dots I received in a swap.  I think it turned out pretty cute myself.
