Zombies and Candy...

Oh yeah!  It's my birthday today and I'm hoping to get crafty in just a bit!  I wanted to jump on real quick and share a card I made with an image from an amazing artist...Jennifer Vaiano aka NoFlutter at Deviant Art.  For those of you who like "SASSY" digital images, be sure to click on the link above and read her journal entry on the right-hand side...I hope this infuriates the rest of my crafty buddies too.  When you're finished check out Jennifer's GALLERY...she is uber talented!

I used Zombie Tinkerbell (with permission) for my latest Halloween card.  I made the sentiment on my pc...doesn't it just look like that's what she is saying?  Wanna play?  My son said, "Uhhh, she's kind of creepy!"  Yeah, she is...in a good way!  I used some more of my new favey DP from Echo Park, MS border punch, bling and card stock from stash, Copic (just to add a bit more color to her skin), nesties, Spica clear glitter marker on her wings, paper distresser, pop dots.

On to the candy and such.  Today is the start of the Inking Pink Blog Hop...it runs through October 31st.  Be sure to join in as most of the stops have candy along the way, icluding True's BCA Candy! 

Start at Patricia's blog and show your support!

Unscripted Sketches BCA Blog Hop!!!

Good morning, cupcake!  I hope you're here for the Unscripted Sketches Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop!  If not, please hop back to the US Blog and start at the beginning...you won't want to miss a thing!  If you have arrived from Alanna's Blog, you're right on track!  There are several girls giving out candy along the way! 

Did everyone see my shirt in the photo above?  I made that!  The ribbon is made up of nothing but nicknames we all call breasts.  It took several hours of work to get everything arranged and fit in properly, but I do love it!  :O)  If you would like the .jpg file to use for yourself, you can "purchase" it for $1.  I will donate all proceeds from the sale of the file to Susan G. Komen for the Cure!  I'll announce at the end of the month how much we were able to donate together!  :O)

E-mail address to send file:

This week we have a fantabulous sponsor at Unscripted Sketches...

ANITA BE STAMPIN! 

Join us in this week's sketch with a twist challenge (use pink) to be entered into a random drawing for a rubber stamp set of your choice OR 3 digital images of your choice from the ABS Store!  Woohoo!  Thanks, Anita!

Some of the girls on the DT got to work with a brand spankin' new digi from ABS...allow me to introduce Busty Betsy!  Anita will be donating 100% of the proceeds of this digital stamp to Susan G. Komen for the Cure!  WOW!  You go girl!  Such a wonderful cause to support!  Like my hubby always says...The world is a better place with TA-TAS in it!  Let's save them all!  For my card I used Copics, Prismacolor pencils & OMS, Q & Co brad, nesties, DP and card stock by SEI, Spica glitter marker, Prima pearl flourishes.

I hope you have enjoyed my stop on the hop!  Be sure to stop by Anita Be Stampin to pick up Busty Betsy (and lots of other stamps) for yourself!  Next stop for you is the fabulously talented Arielle!

Love how you designed this card! -Michelle

Thanks so much for chasing the butterflies last week!  Please e-mail me your address and I will get your candy out to you! 

 

This week's challenge is to use any type of embossing on your card along with a butterfly, fairy or angel!  Add a direct link in Mr. Linky on the FBW post so we can see what you created!  :O)  I stamped baby butterflies on the green part of the paper and embossed them...The label nestie is also embossed, but you can't see it very well in the photo.  The paper is all one sheet folded up {like I used to do in middle / high school} to create the 2 pockets.

I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations and show them some love! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Karen, Kimberly, Kris, Kristie, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola & Pam.
