January Challenge at Bizzy Bec's

Hi Everyone,

We have a brand new Challenge at Bizzy Bec's and the theme for January is nice and easy Anything Goes!

I decided to make an easel card this time, I havn't made one for a while and it's nice to change things up a bit.

I have used Teddy Cuddles from the Once upon a time Collection, she is so adorable in her frilly skirt and at only $2.00 for the digi, how great is that!

I teamed her up with BB Digi ticket stubs A Little bit of Everything 3 also available for $2.00.

I cut out my image with Spellbinders ovals and used my brand new Cheery Lynn Die Tropical Flourish and I have added a lace doily . All these are available at Bizzy Bec's Online Store.

 Here is the inside, the DP is digi paper, the border die is Magnolia - Old Swedish Lace , the gingham ribbon is from my stash. I sponged a few elements with Memento Rose Bud ink.

Dress - BG13, BG11, BG10 Green Pencil (not prisma) R85, R81 Henna

Ok girls time to get creating, thanks for stopping by and leaving me such wonderful comments, I appreciate them very much.

Cupcake Anyone?

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a CC Designs card to show you, Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta  she is so adorable ! 

I masked her off and sat her on the CC Designs bench and added some clouds for the background. The DP is from Kaisercraft Sweets collection and the fence is Magnolia Lovely fence die. The sentiment Bizzy Becs Digi Ticket Stubs Birthday 1 , the lace , ribbon and heart brad are all from my stash.

I thought how cute this little girl was too so I put her on the inside she is Birgitta Blowing Hearts. I coloured the images using copic's and prisma pencils. 

I hope you all are having a great start to 2012, I am looking forward to a year of creating and maybe taking a little more time just for me. My kids are getting older now and I don't think that they need mum to do everything for them anymore, we will see how that works out ........

For Mum

Hi Everyone,

Well it's almost time for Santa to come! I hope you are all ready ? Today I would like to share with you a card that I have made for my Mum & Sister.

They have both supported me right from the very beginning when I first made a very simple little card, I started off in papercraft by scrapbooking and I soon found that I had heaps of smaller pieces of paper that I didn't know what to do with ....... So I made a little card , no image just sentiments and they both thought how great it was, I never even knew that there was a whole world out there of Blogging and images and all the wonderful people that will help you along the way. I am so lucky that I looked into this world and have made so many great friends.

I just wanted to let my family know how much it means to me to have there support along this journey, so I have made them this thank you card.

When I saw the Challenge at MDUC this time all of a sudden I knew what I wanted to do. The challenge is a colour combo of Red , Cream and Gold, I don't know about you but sometimes when I see the challenges I struggle to come up with ideas, but not this time.

A close up of the image , I have used copic markers and prisma pencils to colour.

Here I have used Fleur De Lis Square die and gold embossing powder , I think this turned out really well , it looks a bit like old iron work to me.

The gorgeous flowers and branch with the gold embossing.

I would like to enter the MDUC #127 - Colour Combo Red , Gold and Cream.

A Christmas Sheep!

Hi Everyone,

Today I have one of those last minute Christmas cards featuring a CC Designs image called Ornament Ewe and I purchased him as a digi image.

Isn't he the cutest thing lol, I love his eyes, they make me smile everytime I look at him. I coloured him with copic's and prisma pencils ( and forgot to write them down , I don't know what I was thinking . I am going to put it down to the silly season, too many things to think about ) The CS is Bazzill Pomegranate , the DP is Memory Box - Mistletoe and I used spellbinder Fleur De Lis Square, sentiment is computer generated.

Here is a close up , I have used frosted lace stickles on his fur and ornament and around the white edge , sorry you can't see it in the photo very well. The little silver and white trim is from my stash.

This is the inside , to match the front , this sentiment comes from Sentiments 4 you and is also digi.

A Baby Girl

Hi Everyone,

Well it has rained here almost all weekend , sooooo what to do? craft of course hehehe. I received my order from LOTV this week and thought I would have a go at the challenge of Pink , White & Silver I have used Special Delivery from there latest release.

As soon as I saw this image I loved it, and the sentiment comes with it, I love it when that happens lol.  But then again I loved all the baby images in this release, and they are all on my wish list lol. The silver CS is like a brushed metal , very pretty irl, didn't show up so well in the photo though. The lace , pearls and DP are all from Kaisercraft , the DP is called Bundle of Joy , how appropriate!

The image is cut out with  my new die from Nellie Snellen Multi Frames and the Border is from Cheery Lynn Dies  which I purchased from Bizzy Bec's Online Store . The scalloped circle is from Spellbinders. 

The edges have been inked with Memento Angel Pink, and the little bib is from my stash.

I have done the inside to match the front , and just added "congratulations" .

Here is a close up of the cuteness ! I coloured the image with copic's only this time, to give it the softer baby look, I used R0000, R81, N2, C00, E50, E51 , E53.
