SURPRISE!!! It's a Birthday Blog Hop!

Happy Birthday Corinne & Irene!

Betty supplied us with images and with the help of Tanja organized this WONDERFUL surprise for a WONDERFUL set of twins.  One of which happens to be born on the same day as my daughter, December 29th.  Irene gets her own day December 30. guess it pays to be a slow poke :)  We over at the Simply Betty Fan Group LOVE these ladies.   They are the best at organizing swaps and challenges, commenting on our posts and Corinne makes sure we all make our deadlines.  We have often teased her about "Cracking the Whip".  I begged her to please take a pick with a flower pot on her head like the "DIVO" hats but her response was simple... " NO hat will go in this head".  So, it is on her page below.  My husband was nice enough to make the Scrap page holders shown.  They hold 6X6 pages that you can flip, a scrapbook picture frame if you will.


I hope they like these.  Our group is so much FUN ~ we couldn't do it all with out half of the stuff these ladies do for us & Betty.  Thanks Ladies <3 p="" ya="">
Now, you should have arrived here from Robin's Blog and you are off to Sharons's Blog
Happy Hopping Everyone!

Simply Betty Stamps December Fan Challenge

This is one of my favorite images from Simply Betty Stamps.  She is fun to color and can be used for any kind of card.  Part of this challenge was to use snowflakes on our card. I used a Darice embossing folder then highlighted the raised image with a Sukura Stardust pen to add sparkle.  The Sukura pens were also used on the image after I colored it with Copics to add sparkle through out.  Spellbinders Label 30 was used to cut her out and then folded behind the card to offset the main focus.  I hope you like her. 
Happy Coloring and Crafting,
Mel
