New stuff! :) :) :)

HI ALL!! Just catchin' up! Ok, I have been holding out on all of you! I created this mini for CHA :) :) :) :) and a few other things too!!! I hope you like :) Have a fabulous day!!!

Summer is here!

Yep, summer is here! Caytlynn is out of school and I am so excited to spend more time with her! At the same time I just don't know what to do about her and Cassidy fighting ALL the time! I have only gotten through one weekend (barely). And I feel more like a referee than a mom. I just can't stand the constant "I have to be better than you" attitude from the 2 of them. Both are type A personality. We will get by, I know that, but at what cost? Now that I am typing this it rings a bell. I do believe that I posted a similar entry at the exact same time last year - lol.

One exciting thing has happened since I last blogged... so sad, just one - lol! Anyways, I will FINALLY be published in Memory Makers!!! Too bad it will be their last issue. Still exciting none the less.

Here are a few LOs I created with the Playtime Fun Kit at my last crop. This first one is very special to me since this picture is of the last Thanksgiving my mom and dad shared together. He passed away a few weeks later. They really were soul mates. I did use a few items from past kits on this one. You can check out the LO here with all the products listed.
And here we have my mother's day gift for my MIL :) Check it out here with all the products listed.

And my not-so-little-girl-anymore's first year of school! Click here for product info.

I hope everyone has a FABTABULOUS summer! I have more LOs to share soon :)

I have been so busy that my head is spinning! Caytlynn and Cassidy's dance recital is this weekend. And there's only 13 days left of school! Yea!!! I can't wait for summer to be here and no more running around for dance, swim, preschool and other misc stuff!!! Just to the gym and back :) oh, and a few playdates too! Last Saturday was jam packed with fun! I'll write more and post pictures soon. It was SO much fun that I was sleeping by 8PM!!! Yes! 8pm - I was exhausted!!!! And I can't remember the last time I went to bed so early - lol!

I will leave you with 2 LOs that I created using the Rendezvous kit:

Scrap on! Becbeck out

Easter Pics, Sneak Peek and New LO!

Here is one of my latest that I created at my last crop using The Velvet Room Kit. For the top part of the background I used the lace cardstock as a mask and sprayed Helmar's V2 spray adhesive over it. I let it sit for 5 minutes, sprinkled with glitter and gently swiped Black Soot Distress Ink over it.
Next month's kit - Rendezvous! Here's a sneak peek :) More sneak peeks to come soon!

And a couple fun pics of Easter!!!! Cullen scored some Marvel Comic Flippers (flip flops). "What?" That is his word. He says it all the time and it's so cute how he enunciates it too, making sure that 't' is on the end. He says it over and over! Even more so when he doesn't understand a word you are using or an explaination you have. He's so cute!

Cali got some hippo crocs! The Easter bunny is hoping that the chunkiness of the hippos will slow her down a bit. She is a fast runner!

Cass has fun coloring Easter eggs! Cass will be 5 in less than a month. Where the heck did the time go? She was the master of the egg coloring.And Caytlynn had fun being a model to show off the fabulous eggs they colored! Caytlynn lost her second tooth two weeks ago :)

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter!

New Basic Grey's Lime Rickey will be in on Tuesday and is already in the store! This is my fav line from this past CHA. I am also getting in MORE goodies from Prima - yummy!

I am hosting another crop on May 9th from 10am - 10pm and anyone that lives in Southern WI or Northern IL is invited! Let me know if you are interested. We have such a good time, you don't want to miss it!

Memory Makers is going to publish a LO of mine :) Seriously, how has it taken 7 years for them to realize what they were missing - LOL!!!! I am pretty excited! My LO will be in the Sept/Oct issue. Seems like it is so far away, but summer will come and go so fast like it always does. So it will be here before I know it!

The Velvet Room Kit

The April Kit is up in the store already! The Velvet Room - yum yum yum yum YUM!
Here is a close up of the embellishments:
And here is what I created with it:If you click on the image it will take you to the page that has a list of links to the products.

Also, starting this month- Specials for Kit Members (SKM). Every month there will be different items on discount for the people that have a yearly Kit Membership. This month you will receive a 30% discount on the Prima trays and all KI Memories Lace Cardstock! Woot woot!

Instructions for the tray:
First, I painted the Prima tray with Kaiser Paint and sprayed the heck out of it with Riptide Glimmer Mist - I LOVE this color!!!! Then I applied the paper using the Acid Free Glue by Helmar. I applied the Acid Free Glue directly onto the tray and spread it out using a foam brush. I made sure I didn't spread the glue to close to the edges so I could roll/distress the edges. Make sure you wash out your brush when you are done applying the paper ;) The Acid Free Glue does not dry immediately which gave me play time to make sure that my paper was centered... well, centered enough. I did have to pull the paper up a few times to readjust and it's still not perfect, but close enough. I continued to work on it even though the glue didn't dry completely.

So while the glue was drying I placed the alphabet add-on to the kit on, spelling "Becky's", to use as a mask. I sprayed Cherry Limeade Glimmer Mist over the letters and then took the letters off. By now the glue is set enough for me to distress the papers with Ink and paint and roll the edges.

Now, to embellish - Love this part! I added the alphabet first and even though they are adhesive backed I ALWAYS glue my alphas down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

All the flowers are adhered with Liquid Scrap Dots to make them pop right off the tray. TIP: when working on something like this tray I would suggest that you stand it up so your work surface is horizontally flat. Before adhering the flowers I glittered 2 of them using the Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive - I sprayed the V2 on the flowers, let them sit for 5 minutes and then sprinkled on Stampendous glitter. Easy peasy! I also sprayed a few flowers with Pearl and Riptide Glimmer Mist - gosh, not like I didn't have enough sparkle already - lol

The Butterfly was also adhered using Helmar's Liquid Scrap Dots. And the really cool thing about using the scrap dots is that I could tilt the butterfly.... now try pulling that one off using pop dots ;) haha, yep, take THAT pop dots!!!!!
I will be posting more scrappy stuff soon :)

It was beautiful outside today and I only had one kid! It was very refreshing to spend quality time with just one. I took Cali Bear outside for a bit to play and she had so much fun! It took her a few minutes to get used to walking on grass which was fun to watch ;)
This is her "Cali give me a smile" pose - she tilts her head, smiles and closes her eyes :)
She got dirty. She even tried to eat grass that she spit out, that's what is on her face - lolbecbeck out.
