Lucy

It's a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge day! The challenge this week is to use embossing, be it dry or heat, we want to see it. I chose to go with dry embossing and used an embossing folder on one of the background papers. ;D The hostess this week is Diana and the stamp she is using on her card is Takara, so that will be the blog candy prize for the week!


Most of you know that each Friday (except for release weeks), we run a Frugal Friday Special! Usually there are six stamps on special 40-50% off and the special runs from Friday-Sunday only. This week's specials are Mr. Punkinhead, Rudy the Reindeer, Billy Blyth, Speedy the Turtle, Roxy and You Are A Treat!!


For my project I chose to use Lucy. She is one of those that I had to get and placed a special order just for it... well, not really *just* for her as I had to slip in a few extras too. ;D But she was the main reason I spent my money. ;D I just love how immersed in the book she is and it's also a great stamp for school, teachers or graduation too. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by! *Hugs

Kiss the Cook Miller

It's the release day at Simply Betty Stamps and our last preview in the Teen Scene Kitchen Fun theme! Today we're bringing you Kiss the Cook Miller and I couldn't resit pairing him up with Aussie BBQ from Make it Crafty.


The papers are from DCWV, Nana's Kitchen, and I used a few diecuts from My Favorite Things to help create this scene. Make sure you head on over to the Simply Betty Blog to check out all the details on the release... and the information on the new store blog! Simply Betty Stamps is now Simply B Stamps!! This theme has been so much fun to work with and I hope I've inspired you!

For my project I chose to use Allison and Abby from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and have them sitting on a chippie border from Make it Crafty. I chose to color Abby in her PJs and settling down for a night with a good book from her Mom.... however, she can just as easily be colored in regular clothes for afternoon Mommy & Me time.

Little Miss Muffin Rio

Are you counting yet? Today is day five out of six in the Simply Betty Stamps Teen Scene Kitchen Fun series!! Whohoo - that means tomorrow is release day with the finial preview. ;D However, before we get to that, today we are previewing Little Miss Muffin Rio! You can check out the other design team creations on the Simply Betty Blog too!


First off, if you've been looking closely you'll notice I didn't use my DCWV paper - gasp! I actually had this journal page made about a month ago and didn't have the idea of coordinating the projects until this week. ;D But I love showing this new color pallet and I hope you like it too.


For the journal page, I used Little Miss Muffin Rio from Simply Betty Stamps and Kitchen Isle from Make it Crafty's Kitchen Set to create this scene. I also took some more inspriation from Annika and went to town with the micro beads! LOL I think she does it better but I'll get the hang of it with a little more practice. (I found all the Martha Stewert colors on clearance for just over a $1.00 so I'll have plenty of opportunities!)


Because the colors are so dark and rich I didn't need to add a lot of embellishment, otherwise, I think it would have been too busy. I added antique white lace and a few cookie cutter shapes I had in my stash. Voila... finished. ;D Now it's time to enjoy those yummy muffins... I do hope they're chocolate-chocolate chip variety! Mmmmm.
