Celebrate the Best Love

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to an amazing new year. We had a great Christmas filled with family, friends, and of course lots of food and presents! Everyone was feeling well for Christmas day but before and after were not good. We've made a couple of trips to Urgent Care and have gone through our fair share of Tylenol and Motrin. I hope that we're all on the mend now.

I've got lots of fun projects coming up that I need to get finished before CHA. I can't wait to show you all of the fun things I've been working on.

Here's a project that I recently finished for American Crafts. I've been wanting to dive in and create with the Dear Lizzy ruffle paper. It was so much fun to work with.

 

My husband and I have been married for 13 years. On our anniversary my oldest son took this photo of us together. I don't think any marriage is easy and ours certainly isn't either. But we're so happy together!

 

There's still some of this ruffled paper in stock at Paper Issues (it's sold out almost everywhere) get yours HERE. If you use the code 'becki20' you'll get 20% off your order.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon for a peek at lots of great stuff coming for Winter CHA 2014.

Life Paper Scrapbook Sketch and a New Company

Life Paper Scrapbook has a new Sketch Challenge up today! This sketch was so easy to work with. I did change things up a bit ;) Here's the Sketch:

and here's my take on the sketch:

There's a great prize up for grabs for those who play along with this sketch. One lucky winner will win 6 packages of flair!!

Here are all the details on this fun new company:

Studio Fourteen40 is an exciting new business who made their debut into the paper-craft scene in September this year. Owner and designer, Sandra Allan is ecstatic that her 'baby' generated so much interest and excitement within such a short time.

Sandra, who lives with her husband Matt and their three children in Melbourne, Australia has a keen eye for detail and a love of design and colour. Having worked within the industry and alongside some amazing talent, Sandra had a deep seeded dream to launch her own collection of scrapbooking embellishments and make her own mark on the industry, eventually taking the plunge and giving birth to Studio Fourteen40.

Whilst it is early days at Studio Fourteen40 and Sandra has 13 collections of tin button flairs released, there are plenty more on the drawing board. Sandra has grand dreams for her business and cannot wait to share more of her designs and release other embellishments into her line.

Visit www.facebook.com/Studiofourteen40 to keep up with the latest releases and exciting announcements and view the entire range.

www.studiofourteen40.com - Store, will be opening shortly.

 Have a great weekend! Take some time for yourself and get some scrapping done!
