Beckie Woodall - March Guest Designer

It is with great

pleasure and excitement

that I get to announce our March Guest Designer 

here at the Divas' Mansion.

Beckie, is a wonderful Blend and a very talented

artist.  We are

absolutely thrilled

to have 

her joining us this month.

So without, further ado, I now introduce you to Beckie . . . 

Great Sunday to you my crafty friends! I’m Beckie of Just B Creative Crazy. I have been invited to join you as March’s Guest Design Team Member.

I am so super excited to have been invited to share every Sunday in March with you! YAY!

Here’s a little bit about me…

How long have you been scrapbooking?

Though I have been crafting off and on my entire life, I have only found paper-crafting since last September. I instantly fell in love and am totally loving blogging :0D

What is your scrapbook style?

I don’t know that I have a specific style. I just get an idea in my head and go with it. I guess usually I lean toward fun and cheery.

Where do you create your projects?

Ha ha…right now my craft space is a corner in my bedroom. It’s a cute little set up with a computer station and craft table. Don’t need much space to have a blast ;0)

What are your favorite scrapbooking tools/colors/techniques?

I simply love digital stamps and glitter. I do love to create with my Cricut, too. Being so new to paper-crafting there is a lot out there that I have yet to try…but I am venturing out everyday.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from fellow bloggers ! I love looking around and seeing the awesome talent displayed by all the friends I have made.

What is favorite scrapbooking tip?

There are so many tips, I just don’t know if one can answer. I guess the most handy tip I discovered is wet wipes! You can use ‘em for so much. I just love it.


Enough about me let’s get to the projects….

Since I’m gonna be with you the whole month of March, I’ve decided my monthly theme will be HAPPY! Today I wanna share a “Happy St. Patty’s Day” Card.

Here is my card…

I used the Spring Holiday Cards Cartridge. I cut everything at 5”. Then I accented with white gel roll pen.

Hope you’ve found some inspiration in my card. I would like to invite you to play along in a month-long challenge. 

Each week I’m gonna share a “Happy ….” Card. So if you wanna play, make your own “Happy…” Card and link-up. You can link-up as often as you want until March 23rd  March 30th.

I love prizes too!! So link-up and play along with me, then on my last Sunday post, March 25th  March 31st…Mr. Random Number Generator will choose a lucky linker to win the All Mixed Up Cricut Cartridge.

Here is a little bit about Maryann.

About me...
I am a wife and mother of two great kids and love to craft

How long have you been scrapbooking?
About 12 years

What is your scrapbook style?
I like all pages to be different than the last one. I can do one page and then the next completely do a 360 turn around with style and technique.

Where do you create your projects?
Right now I don't have a designated space so I will bring stuff to the kitchen table or the coffee table. Sometimes at mom's or sister's house.

What is your favorite scrapbooking tools/colors/techniques?
I love my sizzix big shot, spellbinders and punches.  I am a tool queen. Most of my projects are boxes and 3D projects.

Where do you find inspiration?
Everywhere.   Blogs. TV.  You name it.  

What is favorite scrapbooking tip?
Just have fun with it.  There are no wrong ways to scrapbook.  Your imagination is limitless.  


I am so excited to be a guest designer here at Creative Scrapbooking Divas!  Valentine's Day is fast approaching, so for my first project I made a heart "box" that will hold candy or a gift card.    For the box I used a red manila folder and printed the template on it.  I used my Spellbinders Classic Hearts and Classic Scalloped hearts to cut out graduated sizes.  The large one is some left over DS paper.

Using my Martha Stewart glue pad, I stamped the x's and o's (also Martha Stewart) and glitter.

I put some 3D foam squares to make the hearts pop out.

I stamped some hearts down the side

and Viola!.

My completed box.

To make a handle, I put heart brads that I found this week at Michaels. They were having a 40% off on Recollections embellishments. You can't really tell but they have glitter.

 

Hope you liked my project!  Thanks to CSD for allowing me to show you my project!
