Scrapbook Fridays- Old Time County Fair

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

This week's page is one where I decided to cram as many pictures on as I could. This seems to be the new trend of blocking lots of photos and I am way behind getting on that boat. I wanted a page to be a guide to all the things we did when we went to the Old Time County Fair. I again used all SU products including...

I need a bow tie for my halloween costume or the idea I have in my head for what I want to be. I have been going through my stuff and I found some red fabric_ I needed my bow tie to be red. I pretty much just hand sewed it together. I used the iron lots to press it into place and than stitched it up real quick. I added...

Becky 11:40 AM 3 Comments

This week's colourQ challenge was a unique one. We were tasked with using black, white and one spot color so I choose Cherry Cobbler. I embossed my black piece of cardstock with a notebook plate and went all retro with an original sizzix die I had when I first owned the press die cut machine like before I was mar...

Spray Painted Mason Jars

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I love the look of the mason jar and than add some color and make it look vintage is by far an even better look. I have been seeing all over the place how to do them and it is super easy- just takes some drying time and in the Houston humidity a little more time. Supplies Mason Jar Chalkboard spray paint Red...

Fab Friday Sketch #27

Becky 9:19 AM 4 Comments

I love the sketch from Fab Friday this week. I used some other paper than SU because the Halloween stuff I have is not purple and I wanted to do a purple Halloween card. Everything is just punched this week and no actually stamping. I might add a sentiment to the bottom but for right now I like it how it is. Sketch...

This week I am taking inspiration from a digital page I created way back in August...

I have been stalking this on item on Pinterest and so have been wanting to make it for myself. I was going to go buy all the parts and than I stubbed my toe in the garage with a left over piece of wood from the kids play structure and when I picked it up to move it, I realized it was the perfect piece for the...

colourQ #206

Becky 7:15 AM 1 Comments

I have been in a funk the last few weeks and unsure what to create. I have been wanting to create but even the inspiration isn't giving that spark I need. I think a lot of it has to do with school starting and a whole new routine because the youngest is now in preschool. So when I had a moment to take a look at this week's...

Fall is in the air for my house even though it is Texas and still warm- heck it is warm all the time. Fall and winter are about five minutes sometime in January.

Open Face Rueben Casserole

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I don't know if this is truly a Pinterest fail but I liked it the kids and hubby not so much. The one thing I would do different is layer another row of crescent dough. I took one can of crescent dough and laid it in the bottom of a casserole dish I sprayed with cooking spray. I than drained and squeezed...
