Becky Taylor's Stampin' Room

12x12 Owen Scrappin' Pages!

  Happy Friday!  Thank Goodness!  I always look forward to Friday because I know my hunny will be home tonight sometime.....  Funny thing!  Zeus has discovered that if he stands on the footstool he can see me over the gate that blocks my office door!  Zeus is the biggest baby!  This morning we had a downpour and the dogs sat at the door and howled to come back in.  Too cute!  On to today's project.  I was scrapbooking some more! Do you ever have those pictures that aren't a theme?  Not quite sure what to do?  These are random pics of Owen, mostly because everytime he sees me with the camera I have to take a picture of him!  Except the one of his close up face, he did that himself!

Colors:  tangerine tango, pacific point, chocolate chip

The stamp set I used this time is Bugs and Kisses.  I also used tangerine tango striped grosgrain ribbon, chipboard tag and alphabet, circle scissor.  I also used the "Wonderful" from Wonderful Favorites!  The layout is from PageMaps!  Have a great night!  I will be hanging out with my Scrappin' Club this evening, we are a week late this month.  If you are interested in joining a Scrappin' Club, let me know.  We meet once a month, the third Friday, and do 2 sets of 12x12 pages laid out by me.  No thinking for you!!  Everyone takes turns being the hostess, the only requirement is everyone places a $30 order from the catalogue.  Shoot me an e-mail for more info.

Happy Birthday Card!

  I love this little hostess stamp set!  This as well is in the Level 3 Hostess Bundle.  I hope everyone is having a great day!  The temperature here is actually above freezing and we saw the sun today!!  Kinda makes you feel good.  Although tomorrow I hear wet snow and high winds, should be interesting!  Anyway, onto today's card.

Colors:  certainly celery, riding hood red, baja breeze, basic grey.

The designer series paper is from the level 3 as well.  I watercolored the middle cupcake using basic grey to stamp and then baja breeze ink and aqua painters.  I decorated after using dazzling diamonds glitter and a small red rhinestone brad.  I stamped the greeting with whisper white craft ink.  Enjoy!

Candy Tin!

  Happy Wednesday all!!  This idea came to me as I was about to start scrappin'!  You gotta love when that happens.  So I completed it before going on to my pages.  This tin is what the build a brads come in and it fits 6 Hershey's Nuggets perfectly!  So I wrapped the nuggets with dsp and away I went!

Colors:  certainly celery, riding hood red, baja breeze

So for the most of it I used the dsp from the Level 3 hostess bundle.  I then used a ribbon slide to hold my certainly celery grosgrain ribbon.  The tag is from the new tags sizzlits die pack and the rub on I borrowed from my daughter's Chit Chat package!  For the band I adhered the paper together on the back using sticky strip.  Enjoy!!

Scrapbooking 12x12 Layout!

  Here is a 12x12 layout that I put together with pictures from our Mexican Cruise!  The one picture is Todd putting on Solarcane because he got so burnt on deck!!  I love these colors together!  Enjoy.

Colors:  baja breeze, cameo coral, so saffron, basic grey, kiwi kiss

I also used some bits and pieces of chipboard.  On the top pieces I used heat and stick powder and olive glitter.  Don't you love the new colors of glitter??  On the little arrow I used so saffron craft ink.  For the designer series paper this time I used 2 different packages, Pink Flamingo and Bella Rose.  I used the Schoolbook Serif alphabet for my title with white craft ink.  There is also a few clips on there.  You will notice the beer cap on the page.  This beer cap travelled home with us, we didn't know it was there, and has been hanging around the house for 3 years.  It just keeps showing up!!  So now I will always know where it is.  Have a great night! 

Big Shot Magnet #2!

  Here is the second magnet I did using my Sizzix Big Shot!  In the photo are my son Travis and his friend Dan last summer.  I used my top note die along with pacific point card stock.  Along the bottom I wrote using my white gel pen so Travis will remember when this was taken.  I believe I will have to be making magnetic boards in all the children's rooms very shortly so they have a spot for all the magnets!!  I do have more magnets coming up later. 

Clear Box!

  Good Morning all!!  Hope everyone slept well, or at least had a great excuse for not sleeping!!  This box was totally inspired by Heather Summers, one very similar I found on her blog.  I don't know why I didn't think of using clear sheets to make a box.  While in New Jersey we went to WalMart to pick up some snacks, Aubrey and I were elected to go in.  We found Hershey's Kisses that are Cookies and Cream!  One of my favs so we bought a big bag.  The colors in the wrapper inspired me.  I hope you like!

Colors:  pacific point, pumpkin pie, whisper white

I used clear window sheets for the main part of this box.  For the top and bottom I used Good Morning Sunshine dsp.  For the tag I used the scallop circle, 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" circle punches.  I used one of the tree tops from Trendy Trees to make the funky background.  The greeting is from Cheep Talk.  You can't see it from this angle but I used whisper white 1/4" grosgrain ribbon tied at the top.  The top is easily removable and the bottom I adhered with Tombo glue.  This box holds a whole butload of kisses and is great for a gift for just about anyone.  And now with all of the Easter candy out in stores.....  Ooohh the possibilities!  Have a great day!

Big Shot Magnets!!

  What a great weekend we all had in New Jersey!!  It was so great to see family and friends that we have not seen in far too long!  A great big HELLO to my nephew Justin!!  You may be thinking to yourself what the heck is a Big Shot Magnet??  Well, this idea is totally inspired by Erin who let me in on her thought!  You know at the Dollar Store those sheets of thin magnet that you can buy??  Well, look at what it turned into.

Colors:  old olive, regal rose

I started by attaching my dsp to the magnet sheet cut to the size I needed.  Trust me it doesn't work quite as well to cut both and then attach them!  I then ran it through my Big Shot using the Scallop Circle die.  Using my Circle Scissor I cut my mat and photo and attached them to my scallop.  I dotted the scallops with my white gel pen and now I have a cool magnet for my stampin' room! 

The photo is of my sister and I a couple of Conventions back!  Have a great night!  I will have more samples a bit later, Austin has a speech to finish!!

Love Scrapbooking Frame #2

  Here is the frame for my mother-in-law! 

Colors:  certainly celery, bashful blue, so saffron, chocolate chip

I used the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Polka Dot Punches and the designer series paper for this frame.  I also used chipboard letters the large heart punch and the photo corners punch.  

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!  I'll be back with some amazing ideas courtesy of my downline Erin!  Ok, a little hint.  I will be using the Big Shot to do it!!  Can hardly wait. 

Love Scrapbooking Frame #1

  Hey all!!  Here is a scrapbooking frame I did for my sister-in-law.  We will get to see her and the family tomorrow as we are leaving for New Jersey!  Our youngest nephew on that side is turning 13 and it is time for his Barmitzvah!!  I can't believe it, how time flies!!  So that is only about a 10 hour drive with 4 kids.  I take that back with bathroom stops that will be a 13 hour drive, haha!  The frame has the kids school pics in it and the next one I did for my mother-in-law.

Colors:  pacific point, summer sun, old olive

I used the Good Morning Sunshine dsp for the background of this one.  I also used my white gel pen, word window punch, photo corners punch and chipboard letters.  I hope everyone is having a fabulous night.

'Lil Treat Bag!

  Sorry about the no-post yesterday, everyone here is still under the weather!!  Austin decided on his own to go to bed at 7pm, although I was up until 3am with Owen!  Anyway, here is a cute little treat bag to hold Hershey's Nuggets, inspired by a little bag I got from Lynette a couple years back! 

Colors:  pink pirouette, whisper white

This was actually pretty simple to put together.  I used pink pirouette patterns dsp for the bag itself.  The handle is white taffeta ribbon.  For the flowers I used the Boho Blossoms punch with a silver brad.  I also used the scallop edge punch.  I wrapped the chocolates in whisper white textured cs.

Box dimmensions:  Cut your dsp 5x3-1/2".  Score at 2", 3".  Score other side at 1", 2-1/2".  Fold, snip and adhere using your Tombo glue.  For the "ruffle" on the top I used my scallop edge punch and folded it around the bag once it was put together.  Attach the handle using silver brads.  Attach your flowers and you are done!  Great for wedding favors or just to show someone you care!  Have a great day!
