Beccy's Place - New Images Tangled Garden

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going. It has been very hot down here. I have been invigilating and it get very hot in the hall where the exams are done. I do feel sorry for them. Still only another week and they will all be over.

This post is a bit late I got mixed up over release dates of images. I published a post about the set of images that will be in the spot light later on so I had to save that back to drafts.  This time is the turn of the Tangled Garden set of images new from Beccy's Place. I made two cards with these images.

To make the background I used the corner dies from the John Next Door Sandwich box die set. I added some ribbon too. 

I printed one of the single blooms several times some of them I flipped. They were coloured with Promakers and cut out with the ScanNcut. 

This sentiment comes with the set. 

There are many wonderful images in the store. Click on the logo to be taken there. 

This is the Tangled Garden set of images. It is available HERE. 

I created the background with Publisher. I also created a little window box below the image. 

As the images are PNG's I was able to place the image onto the background. Then I coloured the flowers  with Promarkers. 

Here are the two cards together. 

Happy Crafting

Crafty Catz Challenge blog - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Add Flowers

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? I hope you have something nice  planned for the weekend. Here in the UK we have a long weekend ahead of us. For us the Saturday will be spent doing jobs in the garden sadly last year with all the wedding prep we did the garden got away from us. On Sunday we will be visiting our parents again. We will be taking my parents out for a meal all our birthday come in the following week. We need to see my husband's parents to give back the hat and jacket that were borrowed for the Murder Mystery Meal. On Monday we will be meeting our daughter and son-in-law and having a meal together and we will be seeing Infinity War at the posh cinema in Southampton. That is a birthday treat for me.

Back to business being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog. This time the theme Anything Goes with the optional twist of Add Flowers. The fabulous sponsor is All Dressed Up Digi Stamps.  The prize is two images of choice to the winner.

I do love the shades of mauve that come in centura pearl card. The corners were cut with the  Cottage Garden die that came free with a magazine last year. The ribbon and doily were in my stash. 

There are some truly beautiful images in the Store. If you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This image is called Girl on Bike and she is available HERE.  She was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promarkers. I then cut her out with my ScanNcut adding a border. 

The sentiment I had in my stash. 

This corner die set is so pretty. 

Here we all are dressed up for our 1920's Murder Mystery Meal. Everyone made an effort and the hosts decorated brilliantly. 

Here are me and my husband in our borrowed costumes. The dress I was wearing was so comfortable to wear. The lady with us was playing my daughter so it seemed right to be photographed together. 

Here we all are sat down to eat. There were eight main parts and we all had a script. There were three scenes fitted in around the food. I won't let on who did it as some of you might get the chance to have a go at this one. 

We had loads of fun and we raised £140 for Macmillan cancer support. The pack for the event came from them. I do hope they do one next year. 

I am going to save this card for someone who loves biking.

Christmas in February

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? I hope you did something nice. We had a whirlwind of a time. On Saturday we headed off to Farnborough to visit the Art of Craft shop in North Camp. What with the Farnborough craft show being cancelled they were on the second day of a Craft Extravaganza. I was able to meet up with John Lockwood again. We actually come from that area and we were able to drop off wedding invitation samples to our nephew and his fiancee. Then we visited both sets of parents. On Sunday our daughter and son-in-law came to collected their animals and they treated us to a lovely lunch at a lovely local pub. Most of the tidying up is done just a bit to finish off today.

I had a little bit of free time last week so I decided to make a couple of Christmas cards with two challenges in mind.

The background mat with the decorative edge was cut on my Scan'n'cut which I have been trying to use more. It was a stored shape that I could cut to the size I wanted. 

This image is called Quilted Deer and is available free on Beccy's Place blog. One of the challenges I want to enter is a sketch challenge on the  Beccy's Place  blog. 

Here is the second card I made. 

This is another free image from Beccy's place. He is called Stanley with Bauble. 

Guess where this sentiment came from? Yes Beccy's place again. 

Here are the two cards together. 

Have a great week.

Happy Crafting. 

I would like to enter the February Challenge at Beccy's Place the blog , the February Rudolph Days Challenge, CHNC challenge 374 , Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper February Challenge and challenge 8 at the Merry Christmas Challenge blog.

Wedding Makes and Wedding Photos

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We very much enjoyed the wedding on  Saturday and then we had a a day with our daughter on Sunday followed by a day to chill on Monday.

Now on to what I promised I would show you.

Here are most of the things I made for the wedding. I did make some evening invitations but I couldn't find one of those to put in this picture.  

Here are the happy couple surrounded by some of  their family and friends. The wedding and the reception all took place in the Explosion Museum in Gosport. 

This is the card I made for them I kept the theme of the invitations for the design. 

A little gift that I made for them I did blog this a few weeks ago. I am planning to make another one as another cousin is getting married in July.

This is the reading that was read at the wedding. 

This is the table plan at the venue. I was very pleased with how this turned out. The happy couple gave me an admiralty chart which we found a frame for. You can just about see the silver ships they were cut with my ScanNcut I was so pleased that this worked. My husband helped a lot he did all the work on the computer. Even finding me silhouettes of warships to be cut with the ScanNcut.

All the tables had one of these cards on them. The tables were named after missiles. 

On the back of the table card were instructions to get a code to open the padlock on a crate which contained things we needed for the reception. 

Everyone had a place card and helpfully we had put their  menu choices inside.

There was an Ammo crate for cards and presents. 

There was also a sweet buffet table. 

This is the cake made of cheese and the brides bouquet. 

It was a very well organised wedding and lots of fun. There were lots of things for the guests today including a photo booth where many very silly photos were taken. 

Not so silly with my husband's parents and our daughter and her fiancé,  

Very silly with our daughter and her fiancé my husband is hiding. 

The next wedding I will be making things for will be our daughter's wedding in fact we are visiting a venue with them on Wednesday. 

Take care.

Hugs Jackie
