Haunted Design House

Just two more days until Simply Betty Stamps' Valentine Emos Release Day!!!!  Did you go check the previous previews yet from the DT?  You really should... especially Cupid Christian... he is LOL awesome! Sooooo, on to today's preview... London!  She is so cute, greedily hugging all of her valentines... she is one popular little thing, no? Like Valentine Betty, London has a big wink for ya'... cute, huh? And I am loving my Scor-Tape & squinchy ribbon look... it uses way more ribbon, but it is soooo worth it :) The sentiment is a retired one from TAC and the ribbon is HL. I've used MME's Alphabet Soup Boy & Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas paper lines. Be sure to check out the SBS challenge blog for the other DT's work... it is fabulous as always!

So evidently Blogger decided to delete my January 1st post I had scheduled.  Ugh. January 1st-6th, the Simply Betty Stamps DT have been/will be previewing the latest SBS Valentine Emos line... just in time for Valentine's Day!  On January 7th, there will be a big blog hop & you can begin purchasing these awesome images... digital or rubbah , baby! Here is the Valentine Betty card from Sunday... she IS my absolute FAVORITE of this release!  And she can be used for more than just Valentine's Day... anniversary or "just because I love you" cards, too.  Maybe even a "kiss off" card?  :) I'm lovin' that wink... flirty girl.  And I wish I could pull off a hair color like that... just sayin'. Simply Betty Stamps also carries a few choice paper lines, including those shown here today! I've used MME's Alphabet Soup Boy   & Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas lines. Be sure to check out the SBS challenge blog for t...

My last Winter holiday card for you this year... and actually it isn't really THAT holiday-ish... me thinks I could send this anytime.  And let me say that every time I use Stickles or glitter, I can't get the color balance & lighting right, so once again we have photos of the sucky variety :) Nice sentiment, right?  Yeah.  I like it, too :)  It's from Stamp Insanity .  I'm picturing the adorable little Octopode Factory Angel yelling at the Christmas tree... like a few bulbs are out or something :)  Yes... yes... I like to make up little stories for my cards.  And that's just one of the MANY reasons why y'all come back to HDH all the time, right?! I hope you and yours have a very Happy Winter holiday, and a joyful & prosperous New Year! ~Barb

Ok, maybe it's not Bob... maybe his name is Cletus and he is from hillbilly country... or, it could be Justin and he lives in the 90210... whatever storyline you wanna work worth, man.  :) Jennifer, one of my fellow Simply Betty Stamps DT gals has her own fun digi for sale. You can find out more info by visiting Jennifer's blog , and you can purchase this Christmas Zombie at Jennifer's Etsy store ! I do believe my buddy & Macabre Minion, Creepy Glowbugg , has worked up a little sumpin' sumpin' with Bob, too.  You should probably go check to make sure :) AND I might have just ONE more card to share before Christmas gets here...  you just never know :)
