Hi there..... Yup, can you believe it's that time again... Halloween is just around the corner, and these are my Halloween cards I will be sending out to family & friends.... I used black, purple plum, old olive and white cardstock.... added some distressing and pewter brads... I did do some dry embossing using black embossing powder on the haunted house, and black little felt bats as the finishing touch. If your interested in purchasing a package of 5 let me know..... Family & friends love rec'ving these hand made cards in their mail..... HAPPY SCRAPPIN, BEC ~
Here is a sample I created for a friend who had asked me to make some Bachelorette invites for her.... These were her choice of colors. The different size foiled embellishment flowers I found at Scrappin Good Times in San Dimas. As you can tell I added stickles to the " Your Invited " saying along with the stamped circles, from the stamp set ( Seeing Spots ). I added dimensionals to the small & larger flower to give it a popped up look. I had a fun time using these colors.... The girl who requested these invites was going for a Moroccan theme....jpg)
Ok... Some of yous may be in a bit of shock. I am starting a whole different chapter in my life. This may have been one of the reasons I have not posted my creations for a while, with so many other things going on, there were many priorities I had to think about and make choices on, some were easy some were tough..... But with my true belief in faith, I was able to overcome some hard making decisions. These pics you see here are of a 4bed/3bath, 2 story condo that I moved into in March, along with my 3 boys..... I have a good size patio, to host workshops again. Yes, I am going through a divorce, buts it's for the best. It's the choices we make and how we live that keeps us smiling, and I am enjoying every bit of my new beginning :) My x-husband and I have remained good friends, and I am blessed that my boys understand and still remain very happy young men :) I will post a few more pics of the condo very soon. I will be posting new creations more frequently as I'm back into the swing of things, to expand your creative ideas...... HAPPY SCRAPPIN.... BEC ~
Hi there :) I have to admit, I created this card at the beginning of this year.... I seen this patterned c.s. at the Scrapbook Lounge and just had to grab it off the shelf, a matching print had these pretty pink and black butterflies on it, so what I did was trace the butterfly image in white c.s. cut it out, glued down on my card, then cut the actual butterfly image and popped it up over the white butterfly image, and pulled the wings up a bit, giving it a 3D effect. On the top scallop cut, those aren't tiny holes, they are actually dots I jotted down myself with a black thin marker. Butterfly images are so fun to work with, Big or Small....... Remember to only put your dimensionals underneath the middle of the body, so that you can lift up the wings.... HAPPY SCRAPPIN... BEC ~

My wrestler is back on the mat :) It's Wrestling season time again. Jess is now a Junior, and is going 125's this year...... He could go 130's, but he works hard to keep his weight down..... The kid is just too darn tall, with a shoe size of 12.....He loves the sport and makes us proud. Hoping & looking forward to seeing him at CIF.... I found the printed paper at Scrappin Good Times, and thought to throw in some Green Galore cardstock to match up with the school colors and his Lettermans jacket. I used my Coluzzle cutting system by Stampin' Up to make the round photos. Added a few silver star brads and some wrestling word stickers also from Scrappin Good Times. Take a visit, they have everything there..... HAPPY SCRAPPIN.... BEC ~

Hi there...... First of all I want to thank my Scrap Buddies for helping me celebrate my birthday Scrap Style.... We all got together at Scrappin Goodtimes and had some Scrappin Fun.... here are a few pics of the girls just enjoying themselves.... I'm way in the back with the white visor. I look pretty into my scrappin huh ?? LOL.... Here's one of the layouts I created. My nephew Rene turned 5. I found the perfect printed paper to match up with his cake. Added a few clear racing stickers, some brads and ribbon. I will post more layouts throughout the week..... So visit again soon :) HAPPY SCRAPPIN.... BEC ~
Hi there you all..... Sorry about the bad reflection on this layout.... I need to find myself a nice place in my home to take pics of my creations... Lighting has allot to do with how your pictures of your layouts come out. Here's a page I did of my dad's retirement... Yes it was a few years ago, and I'm barely doing a layout. Bad me........I found this really neat Old Guys Rule printed paper, and I really liked how I was able to match it up with a purple plum color cardstock. One of the pics has a backing of the same print paper. Can you tell? Using my small bitty letters, I stamped "life is good".... I also used Stampin' Ups rub-ons in white. The pack also had a saying, "Life is Good". Added a few antique colored brads, and wala... HAPPY SCRAPPIN.... BEC~
Hello there Scrappers.... Here's a layout I created....I decided to go with a blue for my back layout to kinda go with the dress I wore, since all the other girls were in blacks. These are my girlfriends from work, the girls I spend most of my day with. We are a pretty close bunch I could say, and have been for 12 years now. I couldn't ask for a better bunch :) Thanks for stopping by, and HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU.... Bec 
Sorry... I was totally MIA... I just have been so busy with the holidays & family life, that I haven't got around to getting creative to post some projects. But I finally got some scrapbooking done, so I will be posting layouts throughout the next week. This is a little gift I packaged up and gave to my aunt Sylvia. It's a CD that I made and made my own cover, along with some acrylic stamps. For the bag topper and the cd cover, I used the Holiday Treasures Designer Paper from Stampin Up... The "Have a honey of a day card" was created using the "Just Buzzin By" stamp set that will be featured in the New Catalog coming soon. It's such a cute set, and easy to work with, meaning stamping and coloring in. Perfect for cards and scrap pages. I used my pastel chalks, which collected a little dust..... so it was nice to get them out again. Thanks for stopping by, and keep visiting, I promise I will post more fun stuff.... HAPPY STAMPIN.... BEC ~
