Welcome to Day 8 of the 13 Days of Halloween with Simply B Stamps! This challenge is all about zombies coming up out of the ground! I apologize in advance for the brief post, but the the time table to complete the challenge is shorter than the previous ones and I have a full weekend already! I am off to the zoo shortly for the day and their jack o'lantern spectacular at dusk!
I decided to make a stair step card using Bwains Christian from the Teen Scene Halloween 2012 collection. I got out a few of m Halloween Spellbinders dies and the new My Mind's Eye - Wicked pad. The stickers are from Paper House.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Markers used: Copics (YG91, YG93, YG95, N0, N2, N4, N6, N8, YR02, YR04, YR07, Y35, R39, R89, E79, E70, E74, E79).

When I asked Kayne what he wanted on his birthday card this year without a moment's hesitation he replied, "A zombie, Momma!" Well, of course! Who doesn't want zombies on their birthday? I hear the walking dead can really party! (He is SO my kid, by the way!) But it's a sign that he's growing up. Zombies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have replaced the monster under the bed and Little People. He's four today. FOUR! How did THAT happen? But as nostalgic as the baby photos make me, and though sometimes I still wish time could stand still (or at least slooooow down), I am so lucky to be able to watch him grow and change. He is so much FUN right now! We can go places and do things and have adventures! I treasure all that and I hope he knows how very much I love being his mom... how very much I love him!
I decided to color up Zombie Philly from Saturated Canary for his card. Krista's cute image was perfect for the occasion! I used my Copics, adding a bit of glaze pen to his eyes, then fussy cut him. The papers are Wicked from My Mind's Eye and even though it's a Halloween pad, I still found a few sheets that worked well for both zombie AND birthday. The sketch is the current Sketch Saturday (#276). I used a couple of dies: the Labels Ten Spellbinders Nestabilities and Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics as well my Martha Stewart Drippy Goo border punch (one of my faves!). The only embellishments I added were the American Crafts chipboard glitter number sticker and a couple of black pearls. The sentiment is Stampin' Up.
I was up way past my bedtime again- wrapping gifts, putting the finishing touches on Minion cupcakes, and thinking about how excited he was when he went to bed for it to be "tomorrow". As we get older we forget how magical birthdays are and I am glad that I have an adorable, sweet, and just plain awesome reminder of just how special, precious, and amazing life is! Happy 4th Birthday, buddy! I love you! More than zombies love brains.

I was asked to be a guest designer for Love To Create Challenges and I happily accepted! I was beyond thrilled that the sponsor for the challenge was going to be Simply B Stamps! Challenge #80 has a Back To School theme, but with Betty's images anything could happen when the bell rings! Like zombies. Yup, zombies could be roaming the halls of your school. I mean, it's SCHOOL! What better place to look for brains than that?!?!
I've used Zombie Rio from the Zombie Teens Everyday collection. She is colored with Copics and fussy cut. Papers are from an older pad that I dug out of my stash by Lily Bee Designs called Picket Fence. A couple of Spellbinders dies were used (Classic Oval, Classic Circles, and Lacy Ovals). I generated the sentiment myself on the computer- a little zombie humor with a take on the saying "the mind is a terrible thing to waste". The only other embellishments I added were flowers and flat back pearls. The layout is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#220).
Hope you had an amazing weekend!
