Swing And Swirls!

A big congratulations to our winners of our last challenge at Bizzy Becs Challenges! There were lots of amazing entries; you are all very inspiring. Our challenge for April is 'texture'. For my card I have used one of the gorgeous stamps from Gorjuss Girls and she is called 'Ruby'. I have coloured her with copics. Bizzy Becs has a great range of these stamps and I just adore them (I am guilty of owning a lot of them!). My oval shaped papers behind my stamp were cut out using Spellbinder dies (how handy are Spellbinders?). My texture on my card is a beautiful thick ribbon with folds of material and lace in the middle and cute little hearts on the edges.

Easter Bunny!

We are now onto challenge #19 at Hooked On Craft Challenges and our theme this month is 'Easter'. This can be anything to do with Easter, such as bunnies, eggs, chocolate, chickens. For my Easter card I have used some of the cute digis from Pink Cat Studio; Itty Bitty Betty Bunny Piggyback and Bunny Hugging Egg and I coloured them with copics. All my gorgoeus flowers are from Hooked On Craft. I cut my egg-shaped card out on my Cricut using 'create a critter' cartridge.

Here is the awesome prize on offer this month:

A Faerie In My Garden!

Here is a card I have made featuring one of the gorgeous digi's from A and T Digital Designs. I have used 'Ally and Beeble'; how sweet is she??!!!??. I just love these images and I was very excited to hear that the The Emerald Faeries are having a Design Team call (I have my fingers crossed that I am one of the lucky ones that gets picked!)! I have coloured her with copics and added some glossy accents and glitter for added sparkle (you can never have too much sparkle and bling in my opinion!). I cut out some gorgeous butterflies on the sides of my card using gitter paper and my Tim Holtz 'on the edge die' and I also cut out my circles behind my image using 'Spellbinders'. My glittery swirls were cut out using my Magnolia Doohickey die called 'leaf and swirl'.


I hope you like my card; let me know what you think!

A Day In The Sun!

Congrats to all our winners at Bizzy Becs Challenges last month (especially to the winners of the Memory Box dies!). For our March challenge we have an awesome sketch challenge for you to try:

For my card I took the sketch and flipped it on it's side. My stamp is one of the cuties from C.C. Designs and she is called 'Birgitta on a tree stump' (if Bizzy Becs does not have this one just email Bec and she will get it for you!). How cute is she?!!? I have coloured her with copics and added some glossy accents. For my butterfly edge I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page. I also added some cute ladybugs to my card too.


Please join us at Bizzy Becs Challenges for our sketch challenge! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creations.

White And Hearts!

Thank you to everyone who entered our last challenge at Bizzy Becs Challenges and congrats to the winners! For our February challenge we want to see projects that are all white (except your image) and include a heart somewhere. Now this really was a big challenge for me becuase I love bright colours. For my card I used one of the gorgeous stamps from CC Design Stamps called Neva and I have coloured her with copics and used some glitter spica pens for added sparkle (if Bizzy Becs does not have this stamp in just email her and she can order it for you!). I cut my snowflakes out using Spellbinders 'create a flake three'.
