Simply Betty Challenge

Good morning all, Hope your all doing well.

Well ladies this week we have a very special challenge for you as it's for a very special girl. Back during our 12 days of Christmas we had a special prize, which was to be a Custom digi image drawn by our very own Betty. A special young crafter named Emmy won! Her digi is now ready, and the DT have all used her image this week for our Bling It On Challenge. So this week, since Emmy LOVES Glitter (and lets be honest, who doesn't?? ) we're challenging you to

BLING IT ON

Isn't Emmy's fairy the cutest? You could be one of the very few people to own this lovely image if you win this weeks challenge.

The bling that I used was glitter on her wings..As always I have colored with prisma pencils..

Emmy and her mom got to join us this week so check out their cards, along with the other ladies on the DT at

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge

Good morning all, Sorry I haven't a card to share today. but I wanted to remind all of you about KKKG Challenge this week .. But first I have some sad news.

Sadly Bev has had to stand down from her role as DT member and Team Leader for Team A, due to her other DT commitments and magazine commissions. We're sorry to see Bev go as she did a fabulous job for us, but we understand, and I know she'll still be around in blogland so don't worry.
So Jackie is now the Team Leader of Team A, and Jill has kindly moved over to Team A effective next week.
Now onto this week's challenge, it's a sketch by Bev, and what a great sketch it is too, and very easy to follow

And this week we have two prizes for our winner once again.
1) Kenny K is offering 5 of his digi's of the winner's choice

2) Bizzy Bec's in Australia is offering a fabulous $25 Gift Certificate

Well hopefully I will get a chance later to make a card using this wonderful sketch. Also I'm hoping I can get around to some blog hopping later, I'm so behind..Been having some very stressful problems the pass few week..And have not had much time for any thing..

Well I hope you will hop on over and check out the awesome DT's creations..

Hugs, Linda

Limited Edition Digi for a good Cause

A 13 year olds Birthday Wish...all the money that would have gone to her presents are to be donated to the Children's Hospital. Please read this post below and support a great cause thought up by a mature teenager. All proceeds from the sale of this Limited Edition Emo will be donated in Rio's name.
This is Betty's Post snagged from her Blog
Every year I ask the kids what they want for their birthday. Money, a trip, a party, or an overnight stay at Disneyland.... Rio came to me and said, "Mom, is it really really my choice what I get for my birthday?" I told her of course! So she says, "Ok, this year mom, I want money, but can I do anything at all with it? I mean anything I want mom?" Again, I said of course. "Okay, I want my birthday money to be donated to the children of St. Jude's hospital so they can have a special day, or whatever the money is needed for. I don't want to have money to just blow when I can help other kids that can't get out of bed, or go outside. That's what I want for my birthday!"
Of course I was already choking on my tears before she finished her sentence! What a marvelous request, selfless and special! I had a special image made for her 13th birthday, and I have not told her about it, or shown it to her. I am asking for a very special request myself in honor of my daughter's selflessness.
The image is now available for $3.00, I am asking you all to purchase this special stamp and help me bring my daughter special birthday wishes by mailing off a card you make with the image to her... but wait that's not all... all I ask is for the special card to be mailed because the $3.00 made from every purchase will be donated to St. Jude's again in Rio's honor. I am planning on taking her after her birthday to the hospital with the money we raise from this image and her birthday money as requested and giving it all to the hospital!
Her birthday is Feb. 8th, if you all could find it in your hearts to give my little girl that special card my mailing it to her I know it would make her day so special... she is always so grateful of the little things and my hope is to fill that mailbox of ours to the brim with Birthday cards! I plan to gather all cards mailed to her from now until the 8th, and secretly putting them all in the mailbox along with her very favorite chocolates: York Peppermint Patties and Peanut Butter cups! That evening after her birthday dinner I am going to ask her to walk down the street with me to the cluster boxes and have her open the mailbox (I am going to pretend I have not checked the mail all day of course) then BAM! they all pop out at her! Whoohooo! She will be thrilled once she realizes what exactly all those letters are.
So, would you all be willing to help Rio raise a little money for the kids and send off a card? If so here is our mailing address and you can purchase the image at simplybettystamps.com under Rio the Birthday Girl digi! She is the first (but limited edition) of six new Emos to come in the future!
Here is the image: what do you think of it? Pretty cute huh? She's the special birthday diva turing 13!! I will run this image for $3.00 until the 8th of Feb. after that she will be gone for good. So please be aware that she will be a very limited edition digi! She may later make a debut in rubber but I am not making any promises, I will try my best if there is enough interest in her to be made into Rubber. Thank you all for your support! And please please please spread the word about this special fund raiser. Thank you all again!

Here is the mailing address to mail off your creations.
