Beccy's Place - First day at School card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I am sorry I have been so quiet. I am really struggling with my parents. We got a care package in place for both of them so that my dad could come out of hospital. It has been running for a week and now my mum is saying they can cope on their own. I am sure some of you will be able to identify with these struggles. I don't think anything will be resolved quickly. We are seeing them at the weekend so maybe we can talk them round. It is really not a good idea for them to be left on their own.

I haven't been crafting much but today I have managed to finish a wedding card that I was asked to make by a dear friend. I can't show you yet but I thought I would share another card I made for a challenge blog that I am no longer part of.

I made an easel card I created  the backgrounds in Publisher. 

Onto my background I placed a composite of images and a sentiment from the First Day Jitters image set from Beccy's Place. 

The sentiment was made with a die.

I made the card but  I have no one to send it to. If anyone has any use for it I would be happy to send it to them. 

Enjoy the rest of the week

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog - July Challenge Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your weekend going? We have been busy with the wedding makes. I am still not quite sure how we will deal with the table plan. Apparently Maltese weddings are huge with 400 - 500 guests and there is no table plan. So this will be a bit of a departure for the venue.

Being the first of the month the new challenge starts on the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and the sponsor this time is Beccy's Place. I have just finished being Guest Designer for Beccy so I had lots of images I could use.

The backing paper and ribbon were in my stash. 

There are many wonderful images in Beccy's store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I used an image and sentiments from the First Day Jitters Digital stamp set which is available HERE. I made a background with Publisher and the image and sentiment went on top. I coloured the handbag with Promarkers. 

Isn't this ribbon fabulous. 

I sent this card to my cousin who is rather poorly at the moment.

Beccy's Place new release First Day Jitters

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going. We got back yesterday from the annual Beatles Day held at the White Rock Theatre in Hastings. It is a brilliant day and it raises money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

The observant among you might have noticed a new badge at the side of my blog. Back is January I was asked if I would like to be the first ever Guest Designer for Beccy's Place. My work will be shown for the following three months and then it will be someone else's turn. Needless to say I am thrilled to have been asked and to be able to work with  these wonderful images.

The first set of images I was sent  is called First Day Jitters and the set is available HERE. 

This is the first card I made. I created my own background in Publisher. 

This is the First Day Jitters Set. You get a wonderful array on images and sentiments. 

As the images are PNGs I was able to layer them over each other and onto the background I had created. I printed the image I had created onto Neenah card and I coloured it with Promarkers. 

This sentiment comes with the set too. Being a PNG it also has a clear background so it lays right over the background.

I added the bakers twine for a bit of added detail. I really enjoyed creating the image I only used Publisher. The card is nice and flat for posting. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

The challenge starting 10th April at the TTCRD Challenge blog

Challenge 115 at the Dragonfly Journeys Challenge blog

Challenge 201 at the Crafting from the Heart Challenge blog
