If the broom fits fly with me



My final project featuring the new release from Simply B Stamps, Betty Boo, features just some of the word art that comes with it.



To make up the cards I have followed the current sketch over at Deconstructed Sketch, I’ve just made them mini, they are just 2.5x3.5”, a bit of a challenge but also a great way to use up some scraps.  As these are mini cards I am entering them in the current challenge at Mod Squad.

The current theme over at ScrapbookerPhD is to add texture so I have done that in two ways, first with some embossing of the black-grey paper, it’s a bit hard to see on such a small card but the Tim Holtz Wood Grain folder was just perfect for a ghostly Halloweeny feel.  My second bit of texture was added with some embossing paste and a stencil on the brown paper.

If you want to see the fun image that comes with these sentiments you can see three different projects from me right here on my blog, one featuring just the image here, another featuring the image and the ‘fly with me’ sentiment at this post and the final one using the ‘if the broom fits’ sentiment here.  You can also see what the awesome DT have done with this set, Betty Boo, and the other just released image and word art set, Zombie Bride Betty, by heading over to the SBS blog or following the links at the bottom of this post.

On the prowl and hungry too


I don’t watch any kind of sports but apparently there’s some big football game in the US coming up so Betty decided to draw an image to celebrate, Super Bowl Betty.


A friend of mine is a huge Americanophile and follows the Jacksonville Jaguars and their uniform colour combination, teal, gold and black, is really striking so I decided to use those colours.  So with my three colours I am entering this in the current challenge at Fairy Tale Challenges.

My card follows the current sketch over at Deconstructed Sketch.  The round element worked well for a football and banner was perfect for framing the sentiment and the football theme.

Like I said, I don’t watch sports but I know that the Super Bowl is a huge event in the US and people celebrate with parties and things.  The sentiment that comes with Super Bowl Betty also works for other celebrations, even here in Australia we have people use “touchdown!” to denote success so I’ll save this card for when I need one to congratulate someone on an achievement.  Given the celebratory nature of the theme I am also entering this card in the current challenge at Jo’s Scrap Shack.
