Sprinkled with fun!

Hello!  I hope you are having a great week. It's strange knowing that although it's the 28th of the month, it is actually the last day of February! These short ones always have a way of sneaking up on you don't they.

I have a birthday card to share with you today. I have used one of Bizzy Bec's Card Kits (#13) to put this card together. All of the ribbon, patterned paper and embellishments were included in the kit and it makes it so easy to make a project when you know everything will match.

I have also used a cute Magnolia Cupcake image which I coloured with Copic Markers before cutting out and embellishing with real sprinkles.  I thought that would be fun and it almost looks good enough to eat!

Thanks for popping by today,  and be sure to stop back next week as we have a brand new challenge coming up for you for March.

Happy Stamping!

Don't you just love February!

HI Ya'll, 

Sally here with a card I've made for my wonderful husband for Valentine's day.

 I hope you like it!

 

Now the verse is an old Andrew's sister's song - you can listen to it here

And you're quite right in asking - what the heck?

Since we moved into our new house - there is an apple tree in the backyard

and as we dont have a patio or shade - we've been sitting under it.

Of course it reminded me of the song and so I've been singing it for the last month or two..

Righto down to business now - I've coloured a Magnolia image with my copics and used the Memory box dies - twiggy tree with the heart canopy and the Madison Park Bench is a Poppy die.

Don't forget to pop into Bizzy Bec's store to get all your crafty supplies - here

And there is still time to whip up a card to enter the February challenge for Bizzy bec - here

I hope you like it as much as the husband did.

hugs to all

Sal

I love getting these kits because you have everything you need at hand to throw a great card together.

Supplies:

Stamp: Gorjuss Girls Sending Love

Cardstock/Paper: Card Kit No. 13

Other: Stitching, notepad die, Copic markers.

Thanks for dropping by today.  I am off to spend part of this gorgeous public holiday in my craft room.

Happy Stamping!

And Baby makes three

So the craft room is getting unpacked slowly.  My daughter yet again has asked me to come up with a baby card for her SIL as the baby is due next month. 

How much fun did I have hunting through all the boxes to find - spellbinders, magnolia stamps, ribbon, pearls and of course the most important item paper! Now Bizzy Bec has all these wonderful things plus more. She is currently pre-ordering Spellbinder dies but you only have til the 29 Jan to place your order for those. 

So on to my card! Please let me know if you like it?

Now don't forget to enter into Bizzy Bec's January current challenge 'Fun in the Sun' here!

 

Have a great day and stay safe.

Hello everyone! Kelly here and here is another card I made featuring one of the cuties from Whimsy Wee Stamps. This sweetie is called 'roses bike ride' and I coloured her with copics. My sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Bizzy Becs now has a great range of these awesome sentiments!) and I have embossed it. My butterfly is cut out using a Cheery Lynn die called 'lace fairy queen' and my gorgeous big flourish is 'fanciful flourish'.
Please join us for our current challenge 'fun in the sun'!

Life is an Adventure

Hi everyone Suzanne here. I made two extra cards this month which fit our Fun in the Sun Challenge. When it came to deciding which one to share I found it very hard to make the decision (typical me!) so have decided to use both.

On the first one I played with my new gelato crayons to make the background. I rubbed over a background stamped image which I had heat embossed. I then added two Memory Box Dies - Swaying Palm and Brand New Bicylcle. Memory Box Dies are available for pre-order at Bizzy Bec's Online Store.

On the second card I used paper from a pad I purchased from Bec's Online Store. It is called Summer Splash and is from My Minds Eye range. The only extras I added were the ribbon which is from my stash and the wave border as I wanted to make the card using just the design paper with minimal extras.

 

Take a look at Bec's Online Store  to see the collection of craft goodies she has available. The prize for this month's challenge is a new Memory Box Die so join in the summer fun and enter the challenge. We love to see your creations!

How to Post in Blogger

Hi everyone, as you may have noticed the Insert an Image function is not working in Blogger in Compose mode for users on Internet Explorer.

You can still add your images by using the HTML function situated on the left hand side of the Post Screen just below the Post Title Box.

I wrote my post, I then clicked on the HTML button.  Don't panic at this stage as it looks like gobbledegook.  Select the Insert an Image Icon (the little picture in the box the same as in Compose Mode). 

The option "Add an image from your Computer" will be displayed towards top on the left hand side of the screen.  Click on the Browse button, find your image to upload and upload as normal.  You can add another image by clicking on "To Add Another Image" option.

Once you have added your images, you will need to accept the conditions and agreements by ticking the box (I only had to do this the first time I used this option) and then the "Upload Image" icon will allow you to click on it to upload your images.

I then selected the Compose Mode option again and finished my post as normal. 

Hope this makes sense and will help those having difficulty in posting on Blogger.

Cheers.

Carolyn

Tilda Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone, Carolyn here, I would like to share a card with you that I have made using the Magnolia image Tilda with Flowing Hair, coloured with copic markers, and Card Making Kit No. 10.

The Card Making Kits available at Bizzy Becs Online Store are so full of goodies, with paper, flowers, sentiments, die cuts, rhinestones or pearls, just everything you need to complete your project, just add your image.   You can even make a card without an image, as the flowers and pearls on stems with the sentiment added on a memo pin make a pretty posy on their own.

Tootin, Scootin Birthday

Hi everyone, Carolyn here, today I would like to share with you a card I have made using the "Cody on a Scooter" digital stamp which is part of the Blue Butterfly Digi Stamps "Boyz Will Be Boyz" Collection  and available through Bizzy Bec's Online Store here.

I thought that he was a pretty cool little dude, he looks like he is just looking for mischief, so just had to use him on this card.  The image has been coloured with Copic Markers which are also available from Bizzy Becs Online Store.  The sentiment I made using the Tilez font in Word, printing it out, inking it and cutting it out.

Saturated Canary - Wendy

Hi! This is Jodene, sharing what will be my last card for 2012.  I don't know where this year has gone but it has certainly whizzed right by me that's for sure!

For my last card of the year I have chosen the gorgeous Saturated Canary - Wendy image from Bizzy Becs Online Store. And you can currently get her for 20% off!!  And as an added bonus, the gorgeous Carta Bella papers I used called Paris Girl are also on sale ... for a whopping 33% off! I just love these papers, the colours are so soft and I just adore anything to do with Paris.

The embellishment on the ribbon came from one of Bizzy Bec's gorgeous card kits, and there are now a whole bunch of new ones that were added this month! Be sure to check them out, they are gorgeous and make it so easy to put your cards together because everything matches perfectly.

I chose to leave a sentiment off this card for now, because I don't know what I will use it for but I figured I could easily add one when I need to.

Before I sign off I would like to wish all of our blog readers a very Happy New Year! I hope that 2013 brings much love and happiness your way.

Jodene :)

Double Celebration!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year ahead.

Today is a double celebration. I am sending out out a big

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to my dear friend Linda who celebrates her birthday today!!! Wishing you lots of love, happiness and laughter on your birthday! Double pressies - YEAH!!!! :)

Here is the card I made for her. I have used a Tilda with tag gifts image which i got from Bizzy Bec's store here. Isn't she cute? The paper has come from one of Bec's new Card Kits that she has made up and are available in store now!!! Make sure you pop over and grab yourself a few, you can make so many cards from just one card kit and they are full of fabulous papers and embellishments!

Now, once you have recovered from all your wonderful Christmas celebrations and have awoken from your Christmas coma, make sure you upload an entry for this months "CHRISTMAS" themed challenge! You could win a "Mystery Gift" kindly donated by Artii Craftii Creations!

Have yourself a fabulous Christmas and hope you all enjoy the festivities with friends and family.

Hi everyone Karen here today being the 22nd December and just 3 days to go until Christmas I would like to share with you the last of my Christmas cards for this year.  I have had lots of fun creating this card and being Christmas one couldn't go without using a little bit of glitter, although the glitter pens haven't shown up very well on the wings, dress and candy canes.

For my card I have used a very yummy stamp that I purchased recently from Bizzy Becs from Saturated Canary called "Candy Canes" and there are some lovely ones still available for sale here.  I have also used my Memory Box Die Frostyville Wreath and on the inside Flowering Christmas Tree.  Also used is Poppy Stamp die Antique Lamp Post.  These and so much more are available for preorder in Bec's store here.

The sentiment used is again a freebie created by Bec and is available on the blog here.

There is also still plenty of time to enter into the December Christmas Challenge so keep your entries coming and join the  wonderful entries we have so far.  Just remember if you want to be in the running to win the monthly prize you need to follow  a few rules please.

Christmas Joy

Hi everyone Suzanne here.

Another Christmas card done! I am loving Bizzy Bec's Christmas Challenge as the two cards I have done as part of the DT have motivated me to start on my cards for Christmas this year. I usually don't start until the school term has finished and then of course it is a mad panic.

For this card I used two Memory Box dies Snowflake Tree and Country Landscape available for pre-order at Bizzy Becs Online Store. The sentiment is a free digi from Bizzy Becs which is available here .

You still have plenty of time to enter the December Christmas Challenge and if you do and follow the  rules of entry you could win the Mystery Prize from Artii Craftii Creations. So happy crafting everyone.
