Updated Noahs Ark

Hi crafty friends, I have updated the ark to include a new style hull, giving two choices.
I wanted the ark to be appeared to be made from planks of wood, in my original design I drew these on by hand and although they looked ok, I knew that that they could be better.  So I updated the file when I figured the easy way to do it.

This is the file now and you can see the difference of the two hulls.

As you can see the ark now has an alternative hull.
If you would like to download the revised file you can find it in FCM format here and SVG format here.
Happy Sunday, goodnight love Beverleigh 10. xx

All aboard the ark

I have been working this week on a project intended for my new grandson Theo's nursery.
I made a Noahs ark card for my great nieces christening, using a stamp by woodwork that I purchased a the stamp show at Port Sunlight on the Wirral, close to Liverpool. 

This is the card:

at the time of posting the stamp is available here: Noahs ark stamp

You can watch how to create the file yourself over on my You tube channel here Naoh's Ark

I really like the concept and decided I would like to make a more three dimensional ark, that would fit in a shadow box frame that I purchased from Ikea, the frame here its 9"x 9" square and at £3 each, they very reasonably priced.  I purchased a few of them the last time I went to Ikea, as I also use them for my pebble art pictures, you can find the frame for sale here:  Ribba frame

I made this with my new Noahs ark file, in addition using my rainbow, clouds and unicorn file and my ocean wave file.  I also include a print and cut image file for you.

This is the finished product:

The files can be found here:

The print and cut image file looks like this:

and can be found to download here: ark pics print n cut

I found the images using google and to the best of my knowledge they were free to use.  However, some were for personal use only, so if you want to sell your makes perhaps look for alternatives.

The ark file looks like this:

and can be found in FCM format here and SVG format here.

The rainbow and clouds file look like this:

The file can found in FCM here and SVG here.

To create the waves I used this file which I have recently created look like this:

Hopefully, this will give you something fun to get your teeth into, whilst we are limited to where we go, due to the coronavirus lockdown here in the UK and in many countries around the world.

I hope that you will enjoy making this project.  As always please do not sell my files as individuals or as bundles but direct your friends where to find them.

Thanks for your continued support love from Beverleigh 10 xx

Getting ready for Easter.

Hi crafty friends, I had a spare hour, so decided to share with you a card that I am planning to make for the young people in my life for Easter.

I intend to make the cards up so that they resemble baskets full of eggs, I will then include a couple of pounds and a cadburys cream egg or something similar, so as they don't end up with a load of Easter eggs.

I will use my basket weave embossing stencil to give the basket texture.  I will use a rainbow of colours for the eggs so that they are appealing to my younger audience.

I include the FCM file and SVG file here for your use.  I don't show how to make the stencil but I include here for you to download and use basket weave stencil.

I think they will come out super cute.

Please feel free to make as many projects as you want from my files but please do not sell the files as individuals or as a bundle.

I am into two weeks of lock down so I face up to another ten weeks of this.

I am feeling fine in. my self but still have a funny throat, though I'm not worried about it at this time, as this has been troubling me on and off since before Christmas.

I wish you all am amazing and productive day and I will see you all soon.

Long time No see!!

Hi my crafty friends its so good to be back.  
I have been having a very difficult time these past few months - my own health wasn't great before Christmas as I got a very bad throat infection, which wiped me out and I just felt completely exhausted after Christmas so I decided to take a break.
Slowly but surely I felt able to take up where I left off and dis a poll on Facebook regarding a new project that I had been working on for the two new babies we were expecting in March.

It was a very exciting time for the family as we were looking forward to the birth of our grandson and our great nephew, having said that due to my beautiful sister being taken from us by breast cancer in 2002 my nephew is more than a nephew, if you know what I mean.

Both ladies went into labour on the same day and we welcomed our great nephew Billy Jaxon Slattery into the world on the 10th of March.

Unfortunately, he had severe breathing difficulties when he was born and had to go straight to NICU, he looked perfect and we were struggling with the fact that he was so poorly.

They gave him IV antibiotics immediately as they suspected sepsis, then they did a lumbar puncture to check for Neo-natal meningitis as he wasn't responding to the antibiotics.  

Thank goodness he started to respond and his lumbar puncture came back clear but he had to do a couple of days under the light, due to being a bit jaundiced.

Shortly, after that he was able to come home:

In the meantime 120 miles away in Newcastle our grandson Theo Alfie Haworth was born o the 11th March, weighing a whopping 9lb 2 oz.

Unfortunately his mam had a infection at birth so Theo was also given IV antibiotics as a precaution.

We went up to see him on the 14th March, he is lush:

His poor little face was grazed and bruised do to the forceps but other that that he is just perfect.

Rebecca wasn't doing to good though she had scans that show that her heart was enlarged and was suffering from moderate heart failure.

Fortunately, she rallied round sufficiently and they were able to be discharged later that week, though she will need to see a specialist to receive treatment at a later date.

Theo with our other grandson Jack.

very alert little man.

We came back the same day as it was Steves mums 80the birthday of the 15th March and she took us all out for a meal.

(claim to fame, it used to be where William Roache (Ken Barlow used to live) when he resided in Rossendale)

I was back teaching on Monday 16th March and we were getting more and more concerned about CVID19 on Tuesday night early hours Wednesday Morning I was running a temperature and had a sore throat.  So I had to stay home and self isolate.  All the schools subsequently closed their doors on Friday and we have just had the first week of teaching the students online, which so far is going okay.  IOjust could not face going on the computer again after being online all day hence the delay making and uploading the video.  I am much better but my husband has been poorly, though he is on the mend.  We aren't sure whether its just a seasonal illness or CVID 19??

I will try my best to keep you occupied with my videos over the next few weeks though it might be more likely at the weekend rather than through the week.

I have made the file available for you here in FCM and SVG format, as always with my files please do not sell them as individual files or as a bundle but please direct your crafty friends where to find my You Tube Channel and my blog.

Thinking of you all and wishing you all good health.  Have an amazing and productive day love from Beverleigh 10 xx

Missing you all

Hi all as you probably know if you follow me on You Tube, prior to Christmas I had a nasty virus that kept affecting my voice.
When I was well enough I was so behind with my Christmas prep that I just didn’t get the time.
I was then really busy over the festive season.
When I got back to school in the new year, I was shattered for the first couple of weeks and I was just feeling more like returning, then I go and have a nasty fall and injure my already dodgy hip (I’m currently waiting for replacement surgery)
So I was struggling all week to stay at work and not let the kids or my school down.
Please be sure that I will be back ASAP, hopefully with some valentine and Mother’s Day projects in the near future.
Love to you all and please stick with me
Love

6th day of Christmas wisemen still seek Him

This is my religious offering for this years series, if this isn't your thing then please feel for to skip this one.
I think this could be elegant dependent on which colours you choose.

This is how the file turned out:

You can either watch the video on how to create the file on my You Tube Channel here:

or as always you can download it for free here in FCM format and here in SVG format.  I hope that you will give the video a try as you may learn a technique anyway.

As always please do not sell my files as individuals or bundled together, but feel free to download them ands them to create your own projects and also please tell your friends where they can find it.

Happy Crafting Love Beverleigh 10 xx

5th Day of Christmas hearts and trees...

Love this one and the colours that I chose, in my opinion make a really classy looking but contemporary card.
Obviously the papers and colours that you choose are totally interchangeable so it could be cute or traditional too.

This is how the card turned out:

I use the font baby Lexi that I downloaded from dafont, and although its not officially a single line font at the size that it is drawn at, it comes out as single line. font available here: just bear in mind that it is a free for personal use font only and therefore should not be used in projects that are intended for sale.  There are plenty of completely copyright free fonts on that site that you could swap out for if you intend to sell your cards.

You can find the instructional video here on how to create the file

You can also download the file for free in FCM format here and SVG format here 

As always please do not sell my cutting file as an individual file or bundled but please tell your crafty friends where they can download these files for free.

Thanks for your continued support and I will see for the 6th day coming up soon, take care of yourselves and happy crafting love Beverleigh 10 xx
