Hi everyone! I am so excited to introduce you to this week’s Guest Designer Becky Williams. Let’s get to know Becky a little better …
Describe yourself in 3 words … loyal, witty (when I want to be, my husband says), determined.
My guilty pleasure is … chocolate, without a doubt, especially Nutella or a tall hazelnut hot chocolate.
You’ll never find me without … my camera. Not very often, anyway. My husband and kids are very used to having a lens in their faces at any random moment, but I am so glad that they have pictures of so many things we’ve done as a family. The kids love to look at our scrapbooks and laugh at all of the old pictures.
You might be surprised to know that I … am not the best housekeeper. I do try but I would rather spend time with my family and scrap those memories than have a spotless house. The dishes and laundry can wait once in a while.
My least favorite chore is … putting away laundry. I don’t mind the washing and drying and folding but it always seems to take a while for me to get it all put away.
I started scrapbooking in … jr. high school with pictures of friends and pictures of celebrities I cut out of teen magazines. My mom is a graphic designer so I guess you could say that it’s in my blood! I was on the yearbook staff in high school and it all evolved into what I do today. So, I have been scrapping off and on for about 20 years and still love it!
My favorite thing about this hobby is … being creative and getting to know people from all over the world.
If I were a Pebbles product I would be …the cute stitched paper butterflies from the Fresh Goods line. I love ’em!
Becky created so many amazing projects for us today including this sweet layout about her littlest princess. Here’s what Becky had to say … “On this page I used the cute new With Love kraft gift tags; the little punch outs were so fun to use and add right onto the pictures and I used one at the top right behind the picture collage. I also used some of the masking tape stickers to help adhere the toothpick flags. I love stamps but don’t use them as much as I would like so I wanted to find a way to use one of the cute With Love stamps on this page and was able to incorporate that into the title of this layout. The With Love collection has such a fun mix of embellishments!”

Here’s what Becky had to say about her next project … “One thing that I love about scrapbooking is being able to document the everyday moments in my life. It’s the little things that we often forget but it seems that those are the things that make us smile most when we look back on them. My baby girl is growing and changing so fast that I wanted to capture this little thing – her drooling all of the time and getting her first two teeth this month. The colors in the Fresh Goods line went so well with the colors on my daughter’s shirt so I wanted to show them off by using strips of many of the papers in the collection. It’s a great way to add color but not overwhelm the picture, which I wanted to be the focus of my page. I also LOVE to mix up fonts and colors on my pages as you can see here.”

Here’s what Becky had to say about her next project … “I kept this page pretty simple, letting the pictures take center stage. I really like to add stickers to my pictures and the Fresh Goods Masking Tape Stickers were perfect for this! Also, I am very much into the chevron stripe craze that seems to be everywhere right now so I created one to go across the bottom of my layout – in green, of course, to go with the green alphas and theme of this page.”

Becky also created cards for us today including this adorable mini mailbox and card set. Here’s what Becky had to say … “When I saw the With Love line I knew I’d have to do something related to Valentine’s Day so I went hunting at the craft store and found this cute little mail box. I also created some little note cards and will use this to leave messages for my husband and girls. The cards are 3×3 inches to fit in the cute kraft scalloped envelopes.”

And finally here’s what Becky had to say about her last project … “While the twist ties are so cute and perfect for adorning treat bags I thought they would also be fun to use on this card. I used a couple of different ones here, a striped one and one with hearts and simply cut them to the length I needed and adhered them to the card. I punched out the “love” letters on the kraft tag and then put a piece of patterned paper on the back to add a bit more color.”
