Monthly Bombshell Blog Hop!

Well, hello!  You're just in time!  The Monthly Bombshell Blog Hop is underway.   Put your party hats on and prepare to have some fun!  You should have arrived here from Kapree's blog where I'm sure you were met with something fabulous and fun.  My blog is the last one on the hop, so if you're just now getting started, you'll want to backtrack to the Bombshell Stamps Blog so you don't miss anything.  

This month,  Blog Hop Mistress, Alison, has cooked up a little color challenge for us.   I have interpreted it pretty loosely and opted for more of a pastel version of the palette.  I also went a little frilly this time.  You might recognize my main image from my Copic Marker Tutorial.  I decided she needed a home, so I plopped her down amidst some lace and a row of ribbon roses.  She looks pretty happy here ;D  You can find Bombshell Angel in the Bombshell Stamps shop.  It is one of the first sets I purchased and still one of my favorites.

If you missed any of the blogs, here's the hop list to get you back on track.  There's still a few days left to join the challenges this month.  If you do, you could be randomly selected to win your choice of one Bombshell Stamp set.  That is some serious swag!

Bombshell Blog Hop - Shiver Me Timbers!

Welcome to the latest and greatest installment of Bombshell Stamps monthly blog hop!  Our devastatingly fabulous Hop Mistress, Alison, has assigned yet another incredible theme...Shiver Me Timbers!  ARGHHH!  Ok, the ARGHHH was mine, but you get the drift ;D

I almost went with images from A Pirate's Life, but decided at the last moment to go with Homeward Bound and Mermaid Treasure instead.  I received the two mermaid sets in the mail the other day and have been dyeing to get a little ink on 'em.  I colored up my scene with Copics and decided that my mermaid needed red hair.  This ended up giving my mermaid a much undesired resemblance to Arial from Disney's Little Mermaid.  Instead of her having a cartoon legacy, I imagined my fin-tailed beauty laying in wait, singing her siren song to the passing ships (in this case, Pirate Ships), clouding their judgement and causing them to crash into the rocks.  Arial can be so naughty!

You should have landed here via Freddie's awesome blog, where I'm sure you were greeted with one of his amazing art pieces.  Your next stop is Katie's blog and I have no doubt that she has something extra special waiting there for you there ;D  So, without further ado...HERE'S...KATIE!

PS - if you get lost along the way, head back to the Bombshell Stamps Blog where you'll find the rest of the list.  Oh heck, here's the list!  You're welcome ;D  LOL!

September's Bombshell Blog Hop!

Hello! I am thrilled to be blog hopping with the Bombshells this month, because it is my first blog hop as an actual Bombshell! How cool is that?!

Kas, our fabulously creative Blog Hop Goddess has set the challenge this month. Read what she has to say:

September – Back to School, Time For Geography. Kids with their new colored pencils and cute backpacks remind me of how much I miss school….NOT. But it did inspire this month’s blog hop. Please remember, if you can tie it into the theme…GREAT. The theme for this month is Geography: Travel, foreign lands, exotic colors. Maybe show us how your Bombshell would look if she came from an exotic land. Maybe she would be traveling by motorcycle, or perhaps she would be a pilot. She could even be a pirate avoiding scurvy and looking for an exotic date???

I have taken the theme and diluted it for my own devices. You see, I originally, did not read the entire description of this month's blog hop. Instead, I saw "Back to School" and assumed it was a school themed hop. I had an extra Bombshell Angel all colored up and dressed in a smart looking suit and I also had several birds ready to go, as well. My intention was to use these images on a Hitchcock inspired card and capture the creepy essence of a little ol' film called "The Birds". Maybe you've heard of it? As you can see, that didn't happen. Instead, these little pieces sat in a Ziploc baggie for about 10 months waiting to see daylight on a card. When I spied the phrase "Back to School" in the blog hop description, my first thought was to dig the image up, create a black die cut "chalk board", add some letters to it, and assign my bombshell the duty of teacher for the day. HOWEVER, a little nagging voice in the back of my head told me to read the description again. Good thing I did! This card is a loose (very loose) interpretation of the theme...please forgive me ;D

The Bombshell Blog Hop participants have created some wonderful things to share with you. You won't want to miss a single one! You should have started hopping at Kas' fabulous blog and hopefully you arrived here from Mary G's awesome blog. Your next stop from here is to check out the eye candy at Kelli's blog. Be sure to make all the stops along the way and leave a comment on everyone's blog to increase your chances of winning a fabulous prize! This month's prize is an actual Bombshell Stamp set.
