Creatalicious Challenges # 4

Hi All,

I can't believe we are already up to the 4th Creatalicious Challenge.. I have been loving seeing everyones creations..

Here is my DT card where the theme is

*Christmas, Snowflakes and Sparkles..

The image is a CC Designs new Xmas image.. I have coloured her with Copics.. And used Diamond Dust at her feet and on the snowflakes.. this is going to be in stock by the 23rd Nov.. As it is in transit to me now.. This stuff is stunning and a little goes a long way..

The Music Sheet in the background is a Stamp It stamp called Pianoforte.. I just love this.. if you want one it can be ordered in..

I used Basic Grey papers.. The snowflakes are a Sizzlit.. Now sure if they are available any more though... I also used Spellbinders Deckled Edge Nests..

I have also been working on some Ticket stubs and Tags for the digi store..

I have a DIGI Ticket stub FREE for you to try.
Would love to see what you use it on... you can leave a comment with a link.. or even use it on your Creatalicious Challenges Entry.. seeing as it is Christmas Themed and has snowflakes..

To use just click on the image to open up and then right click and save it to your computer.. I recommend the desktop as it is easy to find then. Open the image up in any Graphic Software and print from there.. I use Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw and Paint..

The size of the image when printed is 5cm wide x 2.7cm tall at 300 dpi. Easy as that.. Hope you enjoy!!!..

When using the image please mention it is a Bizzy Becs Digi Ticket Stub..

Take Care,
Bec xx

Mulberry Digi Paper

Hi All,

Over the weekend I did design this digi paper that's full of Mulberries.. This one will be available as a Free Download when my new Digi Store opens soon.. It does come in 3 Colours.. Purple, Brown and Dark Mauve... I used Dark Mauve on my card..

I just had to make a card. This is the first time I have used my Sugar Nellie Stamp.. She is just so adorable.

With the Pearl Loops on my flower arrangement, this is just Pearl Ribbon String that I cut and looped and glued with PVA.. once dried they are perfect for arranging..

These will be available in store this week along with a heap of NEW flowers and Leaves.. I just need to take photos of it all then upload..

Also for some reason my background seems to have disappeared.. Not sure why.. No other background will work either.. Hope that is fixed soon.. It must be a blogger thing..

Thanks for stopping by..

Hi All,

Well I have been searching and searching for pattern paper with fruits and foods on them and can't seem to find what I was after. So I sat down and designed a whole heap of pattern papers myself... I must say I had heaps of fun putting them together.

Items used -

Flowers - Bizzy Becs Paper Flowers and leaves.
Ribbon - Bizzy Becs 6mm Grosgrain Ribbon,
Embellishments - Buckles (latte), Pearls (4mm chocolate), Pearl Stems, are all Bizzy Becs new embellishments range.. The Pearl Stems will be available soon for purchase and will come in 5 colours.

Pink Ribbon Day

Hi All,

Bizzy Becs Online Store and Magnolia Down Under Online Store have joined together in this fund raising event.

Every order placed in our stores from Today Friday the 23rd Oct to Sunday midnight 25th Oct $1 will get donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

However you don't need to place an order in our stores to donate. A secure page has been set up through the Breast Cancer Foundation website where just donations can be made. Kellie and I have set ourselves a goal of $300 but it would be amazing if we beat that mark.

Here is the link for donations http://www.breastcancerfundraising.org.au/personalPage.aspx?SID=85832#

Thanks for stopping by

Creatalicious Challenges # 3

Hi Everyone,

This is my creation for Creatalicious Challenges 3rd Challenge..

The Challenge set was to use only scrap/used sheets of DP, you can use new cardstock and add flowers handmade by you.

I found it so hard to find scraps that went together.. I was happy with what I come up with..

The flowers and leaves are made with Large EK Success Daisy and Small EK Success Daisy the center of the flower is made from McGill punch Baby Blossoms..

With the leaves I punched the Large Daisy and cut away 3 of the petals..

The pearls used are Bizzy Becs Pearls which will be in store soon.. I attached them by dipping them into Glossy Accents..

I also made the Hat Pin.. I could not get the crimps to work so I used Glossy Accents to hold the Drop pearl in the end cap.. This works a treat, I had to pat myself of the back after that one...LOL..

Thanks for stopping by,

Take Care,

Hi All,

Wow it has been ages since my last post.. I am sorry if I have missed commenting on your creations.

Here is my DT card for Creatalicous Challenges.. The winners have just been announced too..

I am much happier with this one than last month.. The papers I used can be purchased online in a 6x6 pack or a kit with embellishments. I love colour co-ordinated papers..

The leaves are new and can be purchased this week.. I have some new Flowers and Roses plus more styles of leaves.. These are just so stunning I can't stop buying them...LOL..

The butterfly you can see is a Martha Stewart Punch that my lovely friend Cheryl sent to me on my birthday which was the start of the month.. Plus a lot of other goodies.. I love them all Cheryl thanks heaps.. I got a stunning card also.. I was suppose to post it all to show you but I got lost in time.

I used Labels 6 for Tilda.. I did trace around the largest one and cut it out with scissors so I had a thin border..

The crochet lace was white.. I did soak it in some black tea to age it and turn it brown..

I hope everyone is well and warm as WA is just so cold.. What's with this Weather? ..LOL

Take Care and thanks for stopping by,

Bec
