Hello, my name is Becky, and I am a paperaholic! There, I said it!!! I love papercrafting, paper, ribbon, buttons, rub-ons, diecuts, inks, stamps, and anything that I can work into one of my lovely cards.
Yes, I make cards! I don't do much scrapbooking because it's just hubby and me, and no kids around, period! So I take all those scrapping products and make lovely cards to send to family and friends. Let me show you my two most recent projects. They were for two challenges on Caardvarks card challenge blog >>>
This one was for Laura's sketch. I just love these springy colors. I used Fancy Pants 'Celebrate' papers. The striped paper is one side of 'Play', and the bird's body is the other side. The bird's wing is from 'Confetti'. The rub-on 'Hello' is from Scenic Route. The stitching around the edges is doodled with a metallic gel pen in a blue color. I used the scallop blade on my Carl PRT-100 rotary cutter to get the scallopping on the b
ottom of the striped paper, and a little bit of Sulyn Industries 'opal' glitter glue on the lines beneath the bird. The spiral clip on the edge is by Creative Impressions, and the ric-rack is by Wrights, purchased at WalMart. 
I made the bird by using a pattern cut from another online greeting card, tracing it onto cardstock and inking the edges, adding a bead for the eye. I popped it off the card with foam dots.This card is for Kazan's sketch. I made it 
using Bazzill cardstock for the base, and Fancy Pants 'Sweet Spring' papers. The base of the card is one side of 'Abbi', the dotted paper is 'Marli', and the quote is from the 'Sweet Spring Card Set'. The flower was stamped onto the back side of 'Marli' with Tim Holtz' Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap, and I used the tiniest bit of Sulyn Industries 'opal' glitter glue on some of the petals, then popped it off the page with foam squares. The button is from Buttons Galore, the rub-on sentiment 
is from an old K & Co. Brenda Walton swatchbook, and the chipboard was a piece of a frame that I inked with turquoise ink and heat embossed with clear deep impression embossing powder. All of the stitching was done on my Kenmore machine. Oh, and 
the orange cardstock came with an old kit ages ago, but I distressed it with the same Distress Ink as used on the flower. This isn't at all my usual type of card since I'm usually about pastel and brighter colors, but I love how it turned out.
