  Beccy has designed another holiday inspired set this month called Country Christmas.  You can find this digital set at Beccy's Place online store now. I've created two project featuring the new set.  The first clean and simple card was printed onto kraft card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Stickles were added for dimension.  I really liked how the hanging stars fit perfectly onto the sentiment! A second project started by recycling a wood block which was left over after removing the rubber mounted stamp.  The block was painted with acrylic paint.  The pre-colored image was merged onto  sheet music then printed and glued to the block.  Additional paints and splatter were added.  I finished with the burlap ribbon edging and Stickles on the ornaments.

  I'm joining the September challenge at Beccy's Place with her September digital release Barnyard Birthdays.   I merged two of the barnyard critters with a digital farmyard image from DigiStamps4Joy who is no longer in business. The barnyard scene was colored with Copic Markers.  I sponged the sky and grass with Memento inks.  Designer papers are from Doodlebug Designs Down on the Farm paper pad.  I omitted a sentiment from my scene, but the sentiments in this set are perfect. I would like to share my card with the following: Beccy's Place September Challenge:  Anything Goes Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Anything Goes  Allsorts Challenge:  Week 800 Anything Goes  PIP Challenge #2438 Anything Goes  

  This card has been rolling around in my brain for quite a while now.  I recently purchased the hen house digital image from Amanda Jayne Designs.  It was the final piece that I needed for this quirky Spring Chickens from Beccy's Place.  The sentiment is from Art Impressions. I started with the pre-colored chickens from the set and fussy cut them for the scene.  The hen house was also fussy cut and colored with alcohol markers.  I "built" my scene with papers from Carta Bella Farmhouse Living paper pad.

  Beccy's Place is featuring a cute critter digital set this month called Pond Pals.  I had so much fun coloring and creating with this set! My first project features the pre-colored seal image from the set in a Faux Center Step card design.  The image was printed directly onto the glacier background.  I printed the seal a second time, fussy cut, and adhered with dimension tape.  Snowflake dies from My Favorite Things with gems and Stickles serve as embellishment. I came across the Faux Center Step card tutorial recently.  It was so easy and I like the dimension it provides.  You can find the tutorial HERE .  The card dimensions and scoring instructions are below for convenience.

  Beccy has outdone herself again this month with the Rainy Days digital set that is perfect for so many occasions.  All images come in .png format to allow for resizing and merging with other digital images. The silhouette images were printed onto white card stock.  Inky splatters were added to both cards.  The second card includes a sponged heart stencil.  I created the stencil by using a Spellbinder heart die.  The "negative" was layered over the image and ink was sponged. Both cards use card stock and designer paper from Stampin' Up!  A few gems and ribbon finish the birthday card.

I love Beccy's critters and the new March digital set Flockstar was a must-have!  This set includes four adorable flamingos and five coordinating sentiments.  Both pre-colored and B&W images are included in the set.   Beccy has the most beautiful pre-colored images!  I have merged three of the flamingos and layered a coordinating sentiment using Microsoft Word for my card. I chose to use the BINGO card options of Emboss, Digital Image and Stitches.  The base panel is an inked tropical leaf emboss folder that I purchased at Michael's years ago.  The image panel was die cut with a wonky stitched die.  A few pink gems finish the card.
