I am working my way through the Sponsors now plucking images from my VAST collection of stuff. You wouldn't believe how much I have on my PC.... even I forget what's there, so I'm finding things I'd forgotten now   Cooooool. I tried starting a catalogue once but it takes soooo long and I'd rather be crafting. :-)
Today I am offering another 'cutsie' BUT make the most of it Peeps 'cos I am just lulling you into a false sense of security here until I wammy you with the grizzly stuff  bwaahahahaha  !
This is my little piece for today. Template is by Samantha Murphy. Papers are from Crafty Chaos - Halloween Howlers set. I've made a little designer tag too using part of an image from Flower King by Smeared Ink.

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN .... DAY 5

Well, here I am again with Day 5. I hope you are enjoying the awesome creations people are making for this Challenge over at Smeared & Smudged Forum. If you would like to know all the details, then pop over and have a look. The Hop list is still on the Right of my side bar.
Today I have made a Slider Easel card with a lovely image from Sew Many Cards. He is called Bailey and was a freebie image for Round 4 of the Progressive Challenge over at CDAC. I have coloured him digitally. The backing paper I have used for him is from Feli Designs at Digi Design Resort and the pumpkin paper is from my stash. The Happy Haunting sentiment is from My Other Creative Side and I tinted it orange. You can snag some Fab FREEBIE Word Art over there at MOCS  so don't miss out on yours :-D

SIMPLY BETTY NEEDS OUR HELP

Betty's 17 year old son, Christian, has been diagnosed with Throat Cancer. Now NO parent should have to see their child suffer, but to make matter's worse Betty must pay for some of Chritian's treatment up front.  Just a few treatments can bankrupt a family.

 I'm asking you to show Betty that people do care, and to help out in whatever way you can. You can buy Stamps and Digistamps from Betty's store, or donate to the 'Help Christian Fund' using the donate button on  the Simply Betty Stamps Blog. I know that times are tough financially for us all, but some things are more important, and remember every penny/cent counts because it all adds up.

In exchange for your donation you will get the awesome 'Zander' digistamp...

SO... it's simple HuH ??? !   IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP ... GO HERE

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN ........ DAY 4

Wooooo - isn't this going well ???? I tell you though, it's the quickest way to watch your life/October speeding past counting off days like this. !!!
Well, I am really enjoying hopping round everyone's Blogs looking at the fabulous creations. If you haven't had a looksee yet, the list is on my side bar over here  ---------------------------------------------------------->>>>
Now today's offering from me is a bit of a cheat really 'cos the actual item is not stamped but it has a digi stamp taggy, so I hope that counts. !!!?
I have made this in the same way that I make my 'Balloonimals' (if you haven't seen them... shame on you....... take a visit to my Shop where you can see them in all their glory ). If I'd had thought about doing it sooner, I could have entered it in last month's Funk Junk Challenge, but hey-ho !   The pikkie looks kindof odd but I had to cut round him because he's too big for a stand and he didn't look good on my scuzzy table cloth !!!         
He is actually handsome AND functional 'cos he's a money box :-D

Happy Haunting :-D        xxxxxxxxxx
Challenges I am entering:
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - Anything but a Card Challenge  (Well, it's NOT a card and I have got a stamped tag on here for the papercraft bit AND he's made of papier mache which is paper crafting in the extreme  hahahaha :-D...)

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN - DAY 3

Well, here we are at Day 3 of Smeared & Smudged  31 Days of Halloween and things are looking good. :-) There are some fabulous creations on the other Wicked Bloggers.... check them out with the list on the Right of my side bar.
My offering today is made with 'Little Emma' from Creepy Cute Stamps. She was a FREEBIE and I coloured her digitally. This is a 15cm square card and I have teamed her with papers from Crafty Chaos 'Halloween Howlers' set.
The sentiment is FREE word art from My Creative Other Side and the little feather fluffy thing I got from a  shop in the town. I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to be - it's on a clip so I assume it's a hair ornament, but it looked kindof Halloween-ish to me :-D

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN - DAY 2

Today I have made an altered spectacle case. I found this in a drawer and decided to vamp it up :-D
I have used backing paper from Tempus Fugit at the Digital Scrap Cafe. The images are bats from the 'Little Bit Batty' set from Smeared Ink. I have torn up the backing paper and stuck it randomly on the outside of the case. I then printed several bats and stuck those on. The varnish has come up a bit matt, so I may re-do it to be more shiny. Inside I have made a 6 layer 3D bat :-D

Fear not Faithful Peeps -there will be some blood and guts coming later :-) Bwaahahahaha
