Simply B Stamps December 2013 Fan Group Challenge...

Good Morning Everyone! I hope this post finds you well. It's New's Year's Eve, have you set your resolutions yet? Are you chomping at the bit to get your special festivities under way? As for Michael and I, we have set ours and already put them into action. We have decided to stop smoking. One of the big reasons is for our health. Today is Day 16. I am really proud of this and I know Michael is too. As for our festivities, we will be working on an upcoming class! I am very excited about it and can't wait to get everything together! 

Okay, enough chit chat... the reason that you stopped by today is for this beautiful image by Simply B Stamps. Each month Betty Roberts lets us choose our image for FREE for the Facebook Fan Group Challenge and this month I chose "Betty Boom". There were three different images to choose from "Jolly Corinne", "Betty Boom", and "Angel Elisabete". Each image has it's own set of challenge rules... Betty Boom needed to have glitter along with the color combo of red, black, and white. If you have not seen Betty's stamps before, each one has to have it's own little twist of quirky-ness. That is why I love them!!! If you would like to join us on Facebook, we would LOVE to have you!

I have used my Prismacolor Premier Pencils to color this beauty. I love my pencils; which is one of the classes that I teach. So if you are in my area and would like to give them a try, let me know!

I am so glad that you have stopped by and your comments are always appreciated!

Have a wonderful and creative 2014!

Happy Creating!

Simply B Stamps Monthly Betty Challenge...

Good Evening Everyone! I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving today! Michael and I were busy finishing up some projects and getting ready for our friends to come over for a "Come Color With Us Day" tomorrow! This cutie is one of my projects that I finished up, introducing "Fall Betty". Our awesome Betty Roberts has decided that she is going to have a challenge each month, which will showcase a NEW Betty image! I think this is a fabulous idea, as I LOVE her NEW Betty images! She is very talented and I look to her for inspiration in many ways! The theme of the challenge is anything goes as long as you use "Fall Betty"!

I am so glad that you have stopped by and your comments are always appreciated!

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Simply B Stamps November 2013 Fan Group Challenge...

Hello Everyone! I hope this post finds you well. I am so excited to share with you my creation for Simply B Stamps Facebook Fan Group Challenge. We had a choice between Pilgrim Corinne and Little Indian Betty for FREE. Since I chose the Little Indian Betty, I decided to give it MY coloring twist. The challenge for her was to use feathers. As you can see I have a little bit of a different twist to my giving "Thanks" card. I personally think that everyone needs some color in their life!

I have so many things that I am thankful for this year. If I tried to list all of them, we would be here until next year! LOL! However, I would like to name a few... 

~ My Michael... he is my rock, the one who has always been there to hold my hand, prop me up, and encourage me to be more creative!

~ My friends... whether your in my face to face world or in my online world!

~ Mr. Hoppy (our house bunny)... he is always around to talk with, even if he is under the couch!

I am so glad that you have stopped by and your comments are always appreciated!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
