Mr. Todd Burton Chibi

~ sproatmeyer ~ 12 Comments

Today kicks off the previews for the new releases over at Simply B Stamps and we have six surprising Tim Burton characters to show! For those big fans of the movie, Sweeney Todd, might want to close your eyes because I’ve decided to feature him on one of his more happier days!! This is Mr. Todd as a clown juggling his very own set of bowling pins – and since all clowns are scary, I didn’t think this one would be much different. LOL


The image used is Mr. Todd Burton Chibi from Simply B Stamps and a couple hand drawn bowling pins to make it more cheerful. The two covering up the blades in his hands were cut at the top then placed over the knives. The other three pins are popped up with dimensionals.


Make sure you check out the SBS Blog to see the other creations for this image and join us all week long as we bring you one Burton classic after another. 😀 And for an extra challenge on myself, I’m going to try to make them as cheery as possible… so you’ll have to tell me if I succeeded or failed! LOL Thanks for dropping by! 😀

Lavinia Portrait

It’s time for another 12 Months of Halloween challenge at Simply B Stamps! This month our theme is to create any hand made Halloween treat bag, trick-or-treat bag, cupcake holder, or anything Halloween that would hold any special treats! I ended up getting out my long forgotten Cricut machine and cutting out a treat box which worked out perfectly.


The top part of the box features Lavinia Portrait from the Steampunk Line at Simply B Stamps. I placed it inside a Martha Stewart label then added some gems. The ribbon is lopped around and glued under it for a handle.


Around the outside of the box I cut out small 2×2 inch squares of scene of Haunting Hill Jumbo Wheel from Stampin’ Up! The whole scene is probably 7 to 8 inches wide so I was pretty much able to get four unique scenes punched out. I loved how simple the box came together and I got to do a lot of coloring. ;D


Thanks for stopping by and make sure you get to make it over to the SBS Blog to see the rest of the inspiration from Challenge #2! 😀

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:

(I’m the shy one with the hidden surprise inside. LOL)


Update: I’m a Gruesome Twosome at Haunted Design House for this project!

Just Betty

There is some exciting news over at Simply B Stamps today and tomorrow… a Spring Cleaning Sale and a Surprise Limited Digi Release!! So head on over and load up while you can. 😀 To celebrate, I created this bookmark using Just Betty and colored her in festive spring colors.


Somehow I always seem to use the new stuff on the table instead of digging into my stash – am I the only one? It’s just so simple to reach out and use it! I really need to learn to put my stuff away then all my supplies could get equal share. LOL This one uses new papers, new pearls and even new diecuts. 😀


By the way, I finally setup FeedBurner on this blog as well as the LMMS Challenge blog!! Here are the quick links for subscribing – you can chose using a Reader or subscribing via email. I’ll keep my fingers crossed but if you sign up and have problems… please let me know!

Finally, I’m back in business!! LOL I finally got my printer setup from Christmas and started printing my digi images on quality paper! I get to say goodbye to copy paper and hello to blending!! Well, at least, I will in the near future. I have to order some blending paper now and finish up coloring the stack of digi images I already have printed and planned as projects. But I’m on my way to happier days. 😀

Thanks for stopping by and I hop you all have a great Friday!!

Season’s Greetings Lola

~ sproatmeyer ~ 18 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m excited to say that today starts the second challenge at Simply B Stamp and we have a fun one for you! This time we want you to get out your “Spritz, Masks and Paints” for your project! So go head – you’ve got our permission to get dirty. ;D You can check out the SBS Blog to see more inspiration, get the details on this challenge and to enter your projects!


For my project I used Season’s Greetings Lola from Simply B Stamps and converted the theme into a Valentine project. My kids wear all sorts of hats, so why not a sock hat for non-Christmas days?! My five year old told me it was okay so it must be true! 😀 After all, what little mouse wouldn’t adore getting a slice of cheese for Valentines – better than chocolate, he says. LOL

The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up – the set name is “Douce douzaine” and all the sayings are in French. It’s a great year-round themed set and this one, of course, is for Valentines.


To fit the challenge theme I used the Copic airbrush and R46 to give it color around the edges and on the kraft cardstock. I even got a little brave and tried to color the tips of her hair pink but didn’t get very far before I was scared off. Next time, I’ll brush it on like normal, however, it was a good experiment.

Hope you’ve got some grand plans for Valentines Day – I know I do! 😀

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:

The Artistic Stamper February Challenge – Hearts
The Pixie Cottage Challenge #108 – Anything but a card
Forever Friends February Challenge – Valentines
Crafting for all Seasons Challenge #20 – Love is in the Air
Inky Impressions Challenge – Use punches or dies

Update: I was selected a Top 3 at Crafting for All Seasons for this challenge!

Betty Munster

It’s the final day of our previews for Simply B Stamps and you know what that meas? It’s release day!! Whohoo! We have one more image to preview off but before I show you my project, make sure you visit the SBS Blog for all the release details on how to get your Teen Scene set!


For our last day we are bringing you Betty Munster and she has baked one yummy cake to share! What’s her secret ingredient? Well, it’s Eye of Newt of course. Plus a little frog tongues and spider legs for that added kick. LOL Check out that atomic green icing… doesn’t that look yummy!


The background is another one of those Halloween stickers I found at Target or Walmart. I was tempted to put Betty Munster on there and leave it… but a few ideas popped into my head and I added the kraft tag, spider webs and some gems for good measure. It turned out better than I thought. Hope you’ve enjoyed it and thanks for keeping with me through this release! 😀

Chris Munster

Welcome back to another day of preview for Simply B Stamps! Today we have a new character to show in the Teen Scene line… meet Chris Munster!! This little dude look ready for any kind of party, although, I got him all decked out for a Halloween. ;D


I created this tag using one of the diecuts from Stampin’ Up! and some paper and stickers I’ve had from last year. Actually, I think I’ve had this paper for two years now but it’s still some of my favorite. I’ve enjoyed doing these tags and can’t wait to start using them. My family gets together often and we celebrate birthdays once a month so they’ll be perfect to use.


Thanks to everyone who left those wonderful comments yesterday and wishing Rio a Happy Birthday! It was great! I have another project later today and if you get a chance you can come back… I’ll even tell you where I found my camera last night! LOL Don’t forget to visit the Simply B Stamps for the rest of the team’s creations. *Hugs
