Reef Travellers - from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We went parent visiting yesterday and they all seem to be in fine form and the care for them all seems to be working. On these trips we get coffee in a nice little coffee shop a trip to the Art of Craft Shop and a nice meal with my husband's brothers and wives. 

This is a sad post for me. This is the last time I will be posting as one of Beccy's Blog Contributors for Beccy's Place. I have decided to step down from the Design Team. I am finding I have less time to craft and this is only going to get worse. When our grandchild arrives we will be doing child care two days a week. Beccy has been very understanding and she is a dream to work with. The images come in plenty of time before the deadline for the makes. Beccy is always so kind about what you have made. 

The last image set I have worked with is called Reef Travellers. I made three very similar cards. 

I have a Nautical paper pad that came from The Works. The papers worked so well with this images. I added some die cuts to this card. 

This is a proper DL card. All the sentiments I used came from the set. The images were coloured with Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. 

With this card I used up strips of the nautical papers. This design works with Washi Tape too. 

This is the Reef Travellers digital image set and it is available HERE.

Here are all three cards together. 

What have I decided about blogging? I am certainly going to be cutting back for a while. I really am not making so much. We might start buying cards this year. I won't say I won't blog ever again just not so much. 

Happy Crafting

Chute from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your weekend been? We have had a quiet time at home catching up on things that need to be done in the house and garden. The spring flowers are starting to appear which is nice. On Sunday when it was raining we went to the cinema to see Death on the Nile. 

I was sent the Chute Digital Image set from Beccy's Place to use. Here is what I made. 

I coloured the images with my Faber Castell Polychromo Colouring pencils. All the papers and die cuts came from my stash. 

With this card I added so faux stitching around the edge. 

This is the Chute Digital Image Set and it is available HERE.

Here are the two cards together. 

Have a good week.

Christmas with Beccy's Place and Mr Snowflake

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your weekend been. We had a meal with our friends on Saturday evening. Sunday was a quiet day we just had to pick up my friend's artwork from an Art Show. This meant that they were able to visit relatives on the Isle of Wight. My lovely Mother-in-law is back in hospital for more blood transfusions. It is such a worrying time for us all. We were able to visit last Thursday. 

This is Encore Week at Beccy's Place. I was given the older Mr Snowflake digital Stamp set to use.

Here are the cards that I made. 

For this slimline card I used the pre-coloured snowman. The sentiment was foiled with my Kaleido. 

For this card I use the wreath and one to the sentiments. The wreath was coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils and then fussy cut. The paper were from my stash and I used the John Next Door Snowflake Corners again. 

This is the Mr Snowflake Digital Stamp Set and it is available HERE. 

I had great fun making these cards. I love how it is so easy to flip and resize digital images. The colouring is very relaxing too. 

Don't forget it is the last day of Beccy's Christmas Challenge too. 

Happy Crafting

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? Today I am sharing the cards that I made with the Proteas Digital Image set from Beccy's Place. Here are the cards I made. I do love getting these flowers in a bouquet until now I didn't know what they were called. 

Today it is my turn at Beccy's Place Blog. 

I coloured the the images with my Faber Castell Coloured pencils. I do love a corner die and I used the Presscut Nested Oval dies as well. 

They were great images to colour. 

This is the Proteas Digital Image set it is available HERE. 

I do like making DL cards. I cut the images out with the Double Pierced Circle dies from Creative Expressions. 

I enjoyed making these cards.

Itty Bitty Botz Encore Week at Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a lovely weekend. The weather has been very good. Today is our daughter's 30th birthday. We are going to be spending most of the day with them. 

This week is Encore Week at Beccy's Place where one of the older digital images sets is highlighted. This time the image set is Itty Bitty Botz. A set of really cute robots. 

Here is the card I made using the Shutter Card die set from the John Next Door range. 

I have had the rocket paper in my stash for so long. It was nice to use it on a project. I used the precoloured images. 

Here is the Itty Bitty Botz  image set it is available HERE. 

This was a fun card to make. I think the Shutter Card style suited the robots. 

Happy Crafting

Beccy' Place - Funny Farm

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We didn't meet our friends in Lymington the plans just didn't work out. On the plus side they  came to see us on Thursday.  The weather held out for us to eat and the garden and to have a chat. They are friends from our university days it was so nice to catch up.

I am one of the Blog Contributors for Beccy's Place. I get to work with some fabulous images. This time I used the Funny Farm digital stamp set that has just been released. 

Here we have a quirky horse that I coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. I do make my own Candy I have quite a few dies now that cut perfect circles to use. 

This is the Funny Farm image set which is available HERE.  It comes with lots of sentiments. 

Here is the card with a colouring chart so you can see what colours I used. I do find colouring very relaxing. 

Here is the next card I made this time with the precoloured images. What I love about digi images is that you can resize them and flip them easily. To make the background I used lots of strips of patterned paper. 

Here are the two cards together. Enjoy the rest of the week

The Three Tenors digital stamp set from Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week. Well we have our route map now for our way out of lockdown. On a personal note we are still waiting for our vaccinations. I am sure they won't be far away. Hopefully we will have some nice weather this weekend for walks. 

As you know I am one of the Blog Contributors for Beccy's Place. This is Encore week where we get to work with a set of older images. This time it is the turn of The Three Tenors digital Stamp set. I made two projects with these images. I could have made more they are delightful. 

I made a calendar. My hubby helped me with the cards for the calendar that fit inside the pocket. 

This is The Three Tenors digital stamp set it is available HERE. 

As you can see I used the precoloured image. I made a wall on the computer. With my pencils I made the top of the wall for the cats to stand on. 

At the top I placed a banner for the year. I used number dies from the John Next Door range. 

Here is the other card. I thought this kitty was just so cute. The backing paper was in my stash. It is just one sheet of paper. 

These images were lots of fun to work with. 

Have a good weekend.

A Little Something Digital Stamps - By Beccy's Place

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? How do you feel about the announcement on Monday about the gradual lifting of restrictions? We are still waiting for our first vaccination. I have a feeling that it will come sooner than we think. 

I am one of Beccy's Place the Blog contributors. This means that I get lovely images to work with ahead of their release. This month the pretty image set A Little Something was released in digital and clear stamps. 

I decided to make a decorated box and a set of matching cards that would make a nice gift for someone, 

This image was coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. There is colour chart above the lid of the box. I made the background for the image on the computer. I used a scoring board to make the box. I have gifted this set of cards to a friend. 

This is the A Little Something Digital Stamp set and it it available HERE. 

The images were so pretty I had to make more cards. This is a thank you card. 

This is a slightly larger thank you card. 

Here are all the makes together. This was such a lovely set of use. I am sure I will be using them again. 

Happy Crafting

Beccy's Place - Country Floral Digital image set

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors 

How has your weekend been? On Saturday we had a trip to our local garden centre. We had a coffee there and we picked up some supplies. As the weather was nice we spent the afternoon cleaning and oiling a garden table we had been given.  On Sunday we had a trip to see our daughter and son-in-law we took them some supplies for packing. We are all hoping they are going to move soon. 

I am one of the Blog Contributors for Beccy's Place. Which means that I get some truly gorgeous images to work with. The one I am show casing now is the Encore Set Country Floral. The images are just so pretty. I am featured on Beccy's Blog today click HERE to see my makes there. 

The papers were in my stash. 

This is the Country Floral Digital Stamp set and it is available HERE. There are pre-coloured images and line art in the set. 

I used the oval with the flowers. I coloured the flowers with my Prismacolor pencils. Once the image was coloured I fussy cut it. 

This sentiment added nicely inside the oval. 

I coloured the ladybird and then I cut is out. I added the antennae with a Micron pen my cutting out isn't that good.  

I made a cute little tag too. The ladybirds look good in different colours. 

I really did enjoy using this set. I think I will turn to this set often. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
