Today I am going to share not only a creation from Alex, but some news as well! Alex is part of the fabulous Design Team for the new challenge blog Beyond the Burtonesque Dolls!
They began their first challenge yesterday. The challenge is "Your Favorite Halloween". Share something based on your favorite Halloween movie, book or memory. Alex went with her favorite memory. The story goes like this:
Once upon a time, there was a gangly teenage girl in high school. She was one of the geeky orchestra smart kids that wasn't super popular and didn't have great self esteem. She was 'good' and no one really noticed her. That there was always a book in front of her face probably didn't help... The Halloween of her junior year in high school, she got invited to hang out with a couple of girls she shared a class or two with. They had two different parties to attend. A Drama club one and a church youth group one. Alex agreed and they all talked costumes. For the first time EVER Alex got to pick whatever she thought she could pull the stuff together for - scary or not. She wanted to be a vampire. Now keep in mind, Alex is not a spring chicken, so at this time her fascination with Vampire's was a bit odd. Yep- she is a vampire freak from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. However, one of the girls she was going with did the stage makeup for the drama club so helped Alex get ready. She was completely made up, hair done and even had a cape she borrowed. She was rockin' the sexy vamp look. For the first time EVER, and pretty much since, she felt and looked smokin' hot! It was a wonderful night!
So, in remembrance of the evening Alex decided to use the new Bella the Vampire image from Simply Betty Stamps. Bella is a smokin' hot vampire in her own right. Alex paired the image with this awesome paper by Teresa Collins found in the Haunted Hallows collection.
