Christmas Evie and a challenge

Happy Sunday friends!

I've got a couple days off so I'm feelin' pretty darn good right now. :)

I'm continuing on with my Christmas cards today and this one is not only for the new Tickled Pink Stamps Monthly sketch challenge #7 but it is also a sneak peek of a brand spankin' new Lil Lolita! That's right, Evie is back on the scene and she is all decked out in her best winter attire because she wants to stand out in the crowd when she goes out caroling with her friends (I hear she is trying to impress that Luca... LOL). Well, if her outfit doesn't turn heads then I'm sure her lovely voice and skillful playing of those silver bells will do the trick. ;)

As always, if you would like a chance at winning this li'l cutie then all you have to do is head on over to the Tickled Pink blog and leave a comment there. And there are plenty more Lil Christmas sneaks coming this week, all leading up to their release in the Tickled Pink store where they will be available in both digi and rubber... I can't wait for you to see them all!

Well, I'm going get going, hope you all have a fabulous day!

A SBS sketch challenge!

Hello my peeps!

So there are some fun things happening over at Simply Betty Stamps that I want to share with you and the big news for the day is that we are starting up a monthly challenge on the SBS blog! This first one up is a sketch challenge which I used as inspiration for my card today. The challenge runs through Thursday, July 29th at 11:59 pm est. and the winner gets to be a SBS Guest Designer during the month of August, which of course means free images to play with! Woot. woot!
Now of course you'll have to use a Simply Betty image to play along but there are plenty to choose from, whether you go for the fab Emo Kids in rubber or the DT Divas, My Pets or Victorian Vampires all in digi form... it's up to you. :)

Betty is also currently running a teaser contest on the blog for the next Emo Kids release coming up next week. Take a peek at the snippets she is sharing and see if you can guess what the new theme will be... you just might win the whole release in digis! And I gotta say, they are wicked cute and I just know if you liked the first ones you will love this second release! ;)

Oh and one more thing to check out while you're there is the official SBS team announcement... a few more amazingly talented ladies have joined the fun and we would love for you to give them a big, warm welcome!

Alrighty, time for me to get to bed... later gators!
