Busy Beauties Goes Burtonesque

Hello and welcome to an exciting day at The Busy Beauties Boutique!

Not only do we have some marvelously macabre new images to share with you today on the Blog Hop, but we also have some fun & funky friends joining us:
The Burtonesque Dolls!

Our new images are inspired by the Tim Burton classic, "THE CORPSE BRIDE", and BBB illustrator Thomas Goins has really outdone himself with these amazing images! We thought they would be right up the Dolls' alley, so we invited them along for the hop *and* are super excited to announce that Busy Beauties will be sponsoring their challenge next week!

The Hop starts with Kelly and if you get lost along the way a complete hop order is also listed below!
You're going to love it; we have prizes so fab, it's freaky! Be sure to hop along and leave lots of comment-love, because there are TWO Secret Beauties or Dolls along this Burtonesque inspired hop… and TWO winners will be selected from their blog comments to receive 5 (yep, FIVE) Busy Beauties images of his/her choice! So whether you are in the mood to be beauty-ful or get funky,
we've got you covered.

My card for you today features Lil Lisette. All I could think about when I was coloring up this sweet and yet kinda creepy stamp, are those Verizon "dead zones" commercials! Do you know the ones? And then I was trying to come up with an "everyday" sentiment and with the help of a friend, it clicked...this should be a "welcome to the neighborhood" card!! LOL! Can you even imagine? We just got new next door neighbors and I'm curious as to what they would think if I brought over a batch of brownies and this awesomely constructed, handmade card accompanied. LOL! Well, even if these new stamps are a little eerie, I love them! Very Burtonesque indeed! Now, on with the HOP!

At the end of the hop, which is also your NEXT STOP, the new Busy Beauties Creation Station CHALLENGE is waiting for you. It's a sketch challenge provided by PaperAddict Catherine, who is a member of both the Busy Beauties and The Burtonesque Dolls DTs. We hope you'll play along! You have until 11:59 EDT on June 2nd to link your creation at the Creation Station.
In the meantime, we hope you'll have fun hopping and find lots of other-worldly inspiration! Enjoy the show!

Hello and Happy Thursday!
Today is a very special day over at the Busy Beauties Boutique. There are some FANTASTIC new releases in the store and a NEW Challenge posted over at the Creation Station Blog!

This time the challenge is a color challenge and it is easy peasy! All you have to do is use Red or Blue or both on your card! AND the color just has to be represented somewhere (an embellishment, paper, in the image, etc), it doesn't have to be the main focus. Sounds fun, right? Up for grabs is a $10 gift certificate to the Busy Beauties Boutique! What are you waiting for? You can get started right now, as Carolyn is giving away a free digi to anyone who stops by the blog! Just right click and that yummy Popsicle is ALL yours!! I hope you'll play along with us!

For my card today I've used a little bit of red and a little bit of blue to highlight this CUTIE new stamp called Sweet Ladybug! Isn't she darling? She is so much fun to color up and I especially love her eyelashes! :)

And that's all for me today. See you tomorrow for another TGF Farm Fresh Friday!
