Happy Memorial Day!

Hi Everyone,
It's Becka with Creations with Becka here. This week Sweet Sassy Diva asked her design team to come up with a Memorial Day project. For Memorial Day every year my family and friends all go to Eagle Lake, CA and camp for the whole weekend. We have had the same campsite for the last 5 years. We have a great time biking, hiking and playing games. So to show our apprecation for our freedom, I thought I would make this layout using Stand and Salute cartridge.

Here is how I set it up on the gypsy.

I used the Stand and Salute cartridge
2- 4.25x6.25 red photomats
blue cardstock
patterned paper

Summer Fun!

Hi Everyone,
It's Becka with Creations With Becka here. This week for the Sweet Sassy Diva DT challenge we were asked to make a project with a kite. I am also getting ready for my circle meet up on June 3rd. We are making scrapbook pages for Crops of Luv. So I thought I would make this summer fun layout for the challenge and have something to donate at the meet-up too.

I used the Imagine and Best Friends cartridge. I printed out the cardstock on two white pages of cardstock. I printed out the kite at fit to page and the two girls are at 3.8".  Summer Fun is from the Elmo's Party cartridge. Please go to my blog and check out my Mondays post HERE. I entered KarelJ's May challenge and would love for you to check out my project and vote for me over at One By One Flamingos are Stealing my Insanity.

Simplicity!

Hi Everyone,
This week for our Sweet Sassy Diva DT challenge we were asked to make a Mother's Day card. I made this wonderful card. I used K & Company Sweet Nectar card pad and prima flowers.
I found this stamp set, I am not sure who makes it but I just loved the saying and thought it would look great on this card.

Spring Wreath!

Hi All
This week the DT over at Sweet Sassy Diva was ask to make a spring time home decor project. Well I went to my mothers this weekend for Easter so I didn't have time to make something, but I wanted to share with you this beautiful wreath she made for Easter. It was made with a round bamboo wreath and then she added silk flowers, eggs and these beautiful bowes. She always ties the best bowes ever. She covers her whole tree in them at Christmas time, it is awesome.

These little eggs are from Michaels and believe it or not  the flowers are from the dollar store.

Happy Earth Day!

Hi Everyone
It's Rebecca here from Creations With Becka. This week for SSD DT challenge we were asked to make something for Earth day which is Friday April 22nd or something for Easter. I thought I would focus on Earth Day since I haven't really seen any projects for that yet.
Well I just got an Imagine and I made this cute card with the Cartridge that it comes with. I believe is called Imagine More.

Recipe
A-2 size off white cardstock
white card for the imagine
Blue ribbon
coral card stock

JOY tri-fold card!

Hi Everyone
This week for the SSD DT Challenge we were asked to make a Tri-Shutter card. This is the first time I have ever made one of these and I think it turned out pretty nice. I have seen these on the blogs but I had no idea how to make one.
Here is the card I made

Recipe
Pink and green cardstock
Accent Essentials
Prima flowers
Patterned Paper
Here are the steps on how to make the card.
1. Cut a 12x12 solid cardstock to 5 1/2x12
2. Score the cardstock at 2,4,8,10 inches

3. Turn longways and use a paper trimmer to cut the paper from the 2" scoreline to the 10" scoreline going inward on the paper 1.5 inches. See picture below:

4. Fold at score lines
5. Add cordinating patterned papers- measurements: You might have to alter these measurement as I could not get them spot on, so I kept trimming them down until I got them the way I wanted.

Cut 4 pieces of patterned paper 1 3/8” x 1 3/8”.
Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper 1 3/8” x 3 7/8”.
Cut 1 piece of patterned paper 2 3/8” x 3 7/8”.
Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper 2"x5.25"
Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper 2"x2.75"

Then put all the papers on the cardstock.

Cute as a Bug!

This week for the Sweet Sassy Diva DT Challenge I was asked to pick the challenge. I decided that the challenge should be to use Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and pastel colors. But the real challenge was to use any of the Spring Images on pages 62- 69.
So I decided to use the caterpilar on page 66. Here is the card that I made:

I used Pink,  yellow, green and olive green cardstock. The patterned paper is from K & Co. and then the stamps are Buggy Puns by My Pink Stamper.

Here is how I set the Gypsy up and the paper on the mat.

What's Crack'n'?

Hi Everyone
This week for the Sweet Sassy Diva's DT challenge we were asked to make an Easel card. I wasn't sure what this was at first but I found this great tutorial at Split Coast Stampers website. The tutorial is really wonderful, but I think I have a hearing problem because at first I just could not figure out the whole flap thing, but after watching the video 3 times and taking my card apart once I finally got it! WOOHOO!
 I am so ready for Spring to come but it is still snowing in my neck of the woods. So to get in the Spring mood I made this cute Chick card.

And this is the cool part, you can make it stand up like an easel to showcase the card.

Here is what I used to make the card:
Yellow and Pink
Patterned paper from my stash
PK Critter faces
Simply Charmed- Love this cart! It is a must have...
I cut the chick out at 2.75" and then wrote the saying since I couldn't find a stamp with what I wanted.
I colored in the beak and eyes with markers.

Design Team Challenge!

Good morning everyone

This week over at Sweet Sassy Diva, the design team was asked to make a project featuring newspaper and the color green. I decided to make this great football card.

I used Sports Mania cartridge and this is how I set it up on the Gypsy and the paper on the mat.

We had to use some form of newspaper for this project, and I had this cool paper from CTMH so I decided to incorporate it into the project. The paper is from the Sports pack so it is about sports. So that is why I decided to use the football saying from Sports Mania.

Recipe

blue,brown and green cardstock

newpaper print from CTMH

Seashore!

Hi Everyone,  Rebecca here today. This week Sweet Sassy Diva asked us to make a project with shells. I made this seashore card.

So I used Life's a Beach for the saying, it is cut at 1.15", this is an A-2 size card of olive cardstard, and light green cardstock for the saying. I outlined the sand dollar with a black pen, I inked the edges with CTMH Winter Ivy ink.

Beach Party!

Yea! We have arrived in the Bahamas today!  It's great to see some sand, surf and sun!  I sure would love some Adirondack chairs to lounge on!  We will be spending the day with the Cricut at a Beach Party s/he is throwing with some yummy lunch!  It ain't NO plushy either! :) 

I hope you enjoy this wondeful layout! 

Hi Everyone
This week for the Sweet Sassy Diva challenge, Bobbi Jo asked us to make a Beach themed 8 3/4 x 5 3/4 mini album double layout.
Here is the layout I made:

I used Peachy Keen PK165 Dolly Dumplins face stamps

The patterned paper on both pages is DCWV Stack 6 collection, cut at 5.5 x 8.5 each side. The solid green cardstock is cut at 5.75 x 8.75.

I used Everyday paperdolls for the dolls cut at 4" and Life's a Beach for the beach chairs cut at 3.5.

Here is how I set it up on the Gypsy

And the paper set up on the mat

I ended up not using the black paper or the red,white & blue patterned paper.
I also used my new Seweasy to sew the border of the page, which I totally love. It was so easy to sew the paper after it punches the holes into it.
