Bizzy Bec's February 2023 Blog Challenge

It's time again for our new challenge and for inspiration I have played with a new set of dies I purchased recently through a pre-order of Pinkfresh Studio at Bizzy Bec's.

Pinkfresh Studio Classic Edgers Dies
Daisy Trio Digital Stamp
Daisy Single Digital Stamp

Thes are great dies to use and an essential set of dies to have in your stash. I am so happy I bought them, so many possibilities and as the packaging says essentials range, how true that is!

I started with a white square card base, used three of the dies on different designer paper and used foam tape to lift the daisies off the paper.

I hope you can join us in this month's Blog Challenge "Anything Goes" and don't forget to check the shop out for specials.

The Outlawz Challenges

January's Progressive challenge image is sponsored by the Outlawz Admin team and was made by Sandra. The image is called "Flowers".

If you are like me you have lots of cards and sometimes you just want to create something else, rather than add to your pile of cards. I have decided to make some junk journals with different themes and use pages in them when the occasion arises.

For my first creation in my Spring Junk Journal I have used Flowers. I love searching for quotes and this has one I found.

Mid-month Reminder Bizzy Bec's

Today I am posting this note card using the digital image "Bouquet". I have used some designer paper on a white card base, added some Stickles to the bouquet as the sentiment mentions Sparkle.

Bizzy Bec's January 2023 Blog Challenge

Welcome to Bizzy Bec's for 2023. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, ready to get back into our 2023 blog challenges. Of course our challenges are always "Anything Goes".

For January I decided to do a simple card which could be used for anything really. I will probably keep my aside for when I need a sympathy card.

I hope you will join us in our first challenge for 2023.
