StampInsanity blog hop!

Please note: I scheduled this to go up on Saturday, and that all went well. Except today I realised that I seem to have forgottten to actually enter any of the challebges listed, D'oh!, so I'm entering the ones that are still open today (Sunday). Sorry for the confusion!

We're having a fun blog hop, and of course there are prizes to be won! If you've come here from Sugar's blog then you're on the right track and it's time to head back to the beginning to leave a comment on the HOP POST to be in with a chance of winning some StampInsanity grooviness! :D If you've come here from somewhere else, why not head over to the StampInsanity blog to see all the details and get the full hop list? The lovely Kelli designed a sketch for us and we had to add flowers as well. I gave Lilith a mermaid tail again because I have to admit, I love her as a mermaid! Yuo can find the original version at the StampInsanity store, along with her luscious set-mates, the Devil Dolls. The papers are by Crafty Chaos Designs, from the Memories of Atlantis set.

Happy skellie birthday!

Here's what I made today, lol, I kind of love this :D I recently discovered a new digi stamp artist, Dilly Beans, and I LOVE her creepy cute stamps. This one is called Dunce Cap Skellies and it really makes me smile :D The backing paper is by Crafty Chaos Designs.

Here's a piece I did this afternoon. The image is Zombie Lola by Simply Betty Stamps and the patterned paper is from the Memories of Atlantis set by Crafty Chaos Designs.
These are the challenges I made it for:
Get Sketchy - sketch #84
Simply Betty Challenges - zombie invasion
Southern Girls - green and blue
Charisma Cardz - jokes and laughter
The Burtonesque Dolls - stitch contrasting bits of bp together to form your background
Make It Colourful - give your image black hair. This is my second attempt, as the shading on the firsy one was all done by the stamp artist, not by me. So, this is my first real attempt at shading black hair myself. I couldn't get it to look as brilliantly shiny as others seem to do, but I have at least used lots of shading to (hopefully) denote movement. It's an improvement, right? Right???

Animals of all shapes and sizes!

This week's challenge at the Corrosive blog is to incorporate animals into your project. Big ones, small ones, fierce ones, cuddly ones, we don't mind what type as long as there's an animal on your piece somewhere. This is your last chance to enter for a chance at winning some Bugaboo digis, so dig out those animals stamps or images and come play along!
I've used two Bugaboo images for my project, Bunny Eggbert and Skelekinz Miss You, along with papers from a new set at Crafty Chaos Designs called Memories of Atlantis.
