How did you like yesterday's preview?  Well, on to Day Two: Elfin' Miller is in da-house!  I swear I giggle every single time I see him :)  VERY simple card, but I just couldn't foof it up.  Me thinks I need some red/black embellies.  Believe it or not, I just don't have any!  A room full of papercrafting schtuff & I couldn't find something that worked with this... CRAZY.  Time for a room re-org!!! Please note:   Elfin' Miller does NOT come holding the pair of tidy whities ...  THAT little gem was added by me :) And soooooooooo totally perfect for this image, dontcha think?  And in case you can't see the sentiment, the front says: WTH... I was good all year & all I got were these tidy whities?! The inside reads: Don't EVEN tell me what's in my stocking.  I really wanted a wittier sentiment, but I just totally blanked.  The possibilities really are endless...  chestnuts roasting jingle bells snowballs...

**Note:   Please scroll down to the next post for the latest HDH Macabre Monday challenge! Yes, it is that time again!  Time for a couple of days of teasers before SBS releases their Christmas Emos :)  Friday the 5th will be here before you know it, and you'll be able to purchase some of these babies for yourself.  Until then, how's about a lil' taste?  Just look at the scowl on Christian's face?!  Typical teenage attitude... but it's not like he was asked to shovel the driveway or somethin'.  :)  I love him... so much fun to color... and I even kept to the traditional Christmas colors... proud of me? Ok, I'll admit it... I just LOVE the skull-as-pom-pom on his hat :) Digi:  Bah Humbug Christian ( Simply Betty ) Rubber Stamps:  Merry Words (retired TAC) Paper:   Merry Wishes (retired TAC), Bazzill & PTI cardstocks, Caboodles white cs (TAC) Other:   Copic markers, VersaFine Onyx ink & pop dots Be sure to c...

Two great companies, one awesome hop :)  Christy & Betty just happen to be BIG Halloween fans, so guess what...  Yep, Tiddly Inks & Simply Betty Stamps decided to do a little swap hop... the TI DT worked with Simply Betty images, and the SBS gals got to play with Tiddly Inks images.  Should be fun! What's even better is that this hop will involve you , too!  Yes, you can do a little Trick or Treating with us and maybe score some gift vouchers to Tiddly Inks or Simply Betty Stamps!  How?  Simply go check out Christy's blog for all of the details... she's the one that is gonna kick this hop off :)  And if you've arrived from Angela's blog , you are on the right track! Now, here's the little twist to this hop, we were to create a Trick (a favorite technique) or a Treat (just a project to share) .  Well, I'm usually a trickster, but I decided to just go for the treat this time :)   I worked with TI's Betty Belfrey ... isn't she ...
