From Our Web to Yours....

Shame on me :( Sorry it's been a while.... Just haven't visited my Scrap Room for a while. Here's a Halloween card I put together. I found the web printed paper at one of my Favorite Scrapbook Stores. I just had to get it, and use it. I embossed the little haunted house, and distressed the c.s. backing of the house. Added a large silver brad. Distressing some of the paper pieces in black really made the card stand out I think. I will be making a small gift package of these cards for my nephew Rene's teacher. I have some other Halloween Projects in mind, stay tuned for more. Happy Friday, and have a wonderful weekend...Don't forget to get some Scrapping in between your weekend duties, and share your projects with me. Bec ~

School is in Session !!

Hi there :) First of all I want to thank Jill Dunn from Dixie, for giving me the wonderful idea to make this card. And for all the wonderful inspiration she gives to others with all her awesome creations. I had to use my own Stamp images, so this card is a little different from Jills. I will be making a package of 5 to give to my nephews teacher. I used my Real Red and Glorious Green Ink Pads. I also had to ask my son for a few sheets of his school paper. I really had a fun time creating this project, I think the colors are what made it fun :) Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend... HAPPY STAMPIN, BEC ~

Back To School !!

Hello there :) Yes, it's Kinder Time for my nephew Rene..... Back to the fun learning, and making new friends..... I had rec'vd a text picture on my cell phone, and when I opened it up, it was a pic of my nephew that my brother sent letting me know it was picture day at school. He looked so cute, with his little tie, that the first thing that came to my mind was, "I'm gonna need to make some cute cards for them to put his picture in and send to family & friends". So I got to work that night on my Scrap Table and Wala !! this is what I came out with. I found the printed paper with numbers and the apple green print at The Scrapbook Lounge in Montclair. I punched the corners with the corner notch punch, cut out my (K) with the Sizzix Machine, using the Round Scallop Punch I cut out with the Apple Green polka dot c.s. I hung the circle image with a silver elastic twine, punched out a small hole to insert both sides of the twine and knotted up on the inside. The star is punched with the Large Star Punch from S.U., and popped up with dimensionals, I did add a small silver brad to the center. I stamped up a matching envelope for the finishing touches. Hope you have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by... HAPPY STAMPIN...BEC ~

TakeDown !!!

Hello Fella Scrappers :) Here's just another of many others to come of a Wrestling Layout. Hopefully I won't run out of idea's using the same school colors. My son Jesse will be starting his 3rd season as a Varsity Wrestler in October. I am looking forward to cheering him on again. If you read this Jess, " Give it all you got Babe, I am proud on how you handle all your school work, sports all year round, 3 hour practices, and all the other demands you meet" This layout is with a 5X7 pic. I hardly do layouts with only one Pic, so it's kinda like a challenge for me. I did feel that I needed to add the circle pic off to the right. I scalloped the Hunter Green C.S. which is the backing of the 5x7 pic. and the circle pic backing. I added some black & white ribbon for a little decor. On top and bottom edging I stamped (Bring it On) going across the page with some silver brads in between. The black letters are cut by the Sizzix Machine. Click on the Pic to view a better close up. I just created some really cute cards, perfect for those wonderful teachers. I will be posting them soon. Thanks for stopping by and in hoping that I bring more inspiration to all of you. HAPPY STAMPING..... BEC ~

BALL TIME !!

IT'S ALWAYS BALL TIME FOR MY BOYS AND THEIR DAD..... THEY ARE SO ATHLETIC, AND I'M GLAD BECAUSE IT KEEPS THEM BUSY AND ALWAYS IN SHAPE.... HERE'S A LAYOUT WITH MY SON SONNY. I FOUND THIS REALLY COOL PRINT PAPER ON OUR SHOP HOP EVENT. THE COLORS ARE WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE. THE TOP PRINT ALONG WITH THE BOTTOM PRINT OF THE BASEBALLS WERE BOTH PART OF ONE PAGE BUT I CUT OUT THE STRIPS AND JUST PLACED THEM ON A PIECE OF WHITE 12X12 C.S. I DISTRESSED THE RED LETTERING WITH BLACK CHALK INK AND ADDED SOME SILVER BRADS FOR SOME DECOR. IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE THE DETAILED DIAMOND STICKLES I ADDED TO THE BASEBALLS AT BOTTOM AND THE ONE IN THE CENTER. I PLAN ON SCRAPPIN THIS WEEKEND SO I WILL BE BACK SOON WITH SOME MORE FUN STUFF. TILL NEXT TIME, HAPPY STAMPIN..... BEC ~

SHOP HOP TIME !!

Hi there.... Sorry I've been gone a few days... I took an extra day to have a longer Labor Day Weekend. I did get some Scrapbooking done, I will post as soon as possible. Here are some pic's from SHOP HOP that I promised I would post. We had such a good time. We got to visit 13 Scrapbook Stores. My favorite was that I found something different and unique in every store. And I kept a good budget going too. I only kept my mind and hands (LOL...) on anything to do with Baseball, Wrestling, and Golf. I couldn't help but to choose some awesome printed paper that I just haven't seen anywhere. Now to get my creative hands going, I need to start using up all this fun Scrap goodies I have. The first pic is of my mother, my sis-in-law Heidi and myself in front of Stamp Your Heart Out in Claremont, The next pic, is of Michelle (Sis-in-law) and myself doing a free make & take at Strictly Scrapbooking in Cerritos, then the last pic is of us in front of Scrappin In The Hills in Anaheim. The store manager was so kind to come out and take our pic. I have more pics I will post in a few days. Till next time, thanks for peeking in.... HAPPY SCRAPPIN....BEC ~
