Banner Mania!

I had another request from one of Georgia's Best Friends for a banner...Emi loves all things black and purple with skulls etc. The images are Simply Betty Stamps and are her favourites as they all feature skulls....aged 9 and pink and pretty is already out the window....

A quick run down of products used in addition to the images...
 Printed Background - A Katie Pertiet Digital Brush
Check Paper - Magnolia Halloween Papers from a couple of years ago
Skull Doilies - purchased from dotcomgiftshop.com
All the images were coloured with Copics.

As it's my birthday in a couple of weeks, I have been lucky enough to order myself a Fuji Instax Mini Camera....I cannot wait to be able to take/print old fashion Polaroid style pics.....they will be great for my mini books and Smash* Books. I got a good deal on Amazon for the camera plus 70 prints, which I think should keep me going for a little while.

Cute Card Thursday - Recipe 1,2,3!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog we want you to use a Recipe of 123....the 123 can be whatever you like...I have gone with 1 pin, 2 ribbons/lace, 3 patterned papers. You could choose 1 image, 2 papers and 3 buttons or 1 ribbon, 2 images and 3 embellishments.....the choice is yours.

We are sponsored this week by Simply Betty Stamps, so I decided to use one of her new Valentine Emo Digi's, which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E18/E19
Eyes - B21
Clothing - R37/R39/W5/W7/W9
The papers are a mixture of Magnolia So Spooky papers (black ones) and Bo Bunny Crush (red one) which I have layered with red Bazzill cardstock and black glitter cardstock. I have also added a little bling in the corner, some ribbon and lace from my stash, a red heart pin, and an Inkadinkado Kids Quote sentiment called Who You Love. Tracy @ Dies to Die For has a brilliant selection of these stamps HERE if the one you want is currently out of stock, drop her an email and see if she can order it for you...they really are worth it.

Be sure to check out our challenge this week and enter to be in with a chance of winning this weeks prize from Simply Betty Stamps.

Trick or Treating with Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps


Welcome to the collision of Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps. :) One fun, fun, fun blog hop!
Betty (of Simply Betty Stamps and my DT member) and I are big Halloween fans, so naturally we had to put together a fun Trick or Treat Blog Hop.

How to Participate: Post your creation on your personal blog today between 12:00 PM CST (noon) and 5:55 PM CST. The title of your post should be "Trick or Treating with Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps." If possible, your post is to include a Trick (a technique) or a Treat (a gorgeous card :D).

Once your blog post is completed, visit the Simply Betty Stamps blog and link your blog hop post in the Inlinkz list at the bottom of the Blog Hop post in order to be qualified for the prizes. There is no need to sign up in advance, but the Inlinkz list will close at 6:00 PM.
Then we hop, Halloween style, from the Simply Betty Stamps blog. If you don't plan to enter a card, still come along and comment. :) Everyone would appreciate it and you might get super inspired---or spooked. :)


Prizes: Two random blogger participant winners will be announced November 5 and highlighted on the hosting blogs, Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps. Each will receive a $10 gift voucher from Tiddly Inks and digital images of her choice from Simply Betty Stamps. will be giving away digital images of the winner's choice.


Many of the design team members are offering freebies and prizes along the way, so even if you don't plan on entering a card, come along and find all the tricks and treats.

Now here is my creation using one of the Simply Betty Stamps...I loved having a chance to play with some of the Simply Betty images...they are fab and such fun to colour. This image is my favourite as it reminds me of one of Georgia's best friends...so I have coloured her to look like her...This image is called Betty.

I have decided to share a little trick with you. Now when I first started to colour with Copics I always started with the lightest colour first and built up to the dark....and now with more experience and what I have learnt from blog hopping....I start with the darkest colour first. Now I don't know if that is news to all of you. I am pretty sure that those of you who have taken a Copics Course will know this....but if not, you do now as I am sharing the tip.



And now if you are still reading I am also sharing a treat with you......if my card wasn't enough. I have a digi prize for one person who leaves me a comment. You will get to choose the Tiddly Inks image of your choice.....so make sure when you have finished reading you leave me a comment. The winner will be chosen using random.org at 21:00 GMT on 31st October 2010.

I have used the following colours on my card...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E18/E19
Clothing - R37/R39/R46/W5/W7/W9
The papers are a mixture of Daisy & Dandelion and Magnolia, layered with some Craftwork Cards shimmer cardstock. I have also added some glitter foam embellishments from Hobbycraft, a sentiment by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy Stamps....and finally a few bats created using my Martha Stewart bat punch.

Now, don't hit anything on the way back to the list...you know, bad joke with the two companies colliding....LOL (OK, I stole the pun from Christy)

This is the list of the design team members for both companies if you want to start with a few blogs. The rest are to be found in the inlinkz list on Betty's blog.
Start with Christy

Happy Halloween and happy colliding!
