{Rebecca} Catered Crop : Framed

I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed
Well, I never knew nothin, but I always get framed
Oh, framed.
   ~ Framed, sung by Ritchen Valens


My Mom turned 50 this year and I knew that even though she is a huge fan of my cards, this year, that wasn't going to be enough. The older I become, especially now that I have a baby girl, the more I realize all the sacrifices my Mom has made and the love she has poured in my life. I wanted some thing a little more meaningful and lasting to say how much I love her.

So, I took this challenge quite literally and created a "framed" project. Quite conveniently we had a very recent photograph of the entire family from my brothers wedding and created a wall hanging based on Proverbs 31, specifically choosing the verse "and her children shall rise up and call her blessed". 

 

This (bi)week at Catered Crop, we want to see you frame your focal point or frame your project – just include a frame somewhere in your project. 

• Just show us any project using a frame or mat.
• Include a link to us at Catered Crop or add our button, which you can grab on our sidebar or at our {button gallery}.
• Link up and link often, but be sure you link up by 8:00 PM EST on Saturday, March 16.
• Check back with us on March 17 to see if you've won an opportunity to be a guest designer.

Rebecca : Scrappin Patch Pink Paislee

Hello again! I am back with some more inspiration for you in this chilly October! Here in Canada we have just celebrated our thanksgiving and Autumn over. Winter is right around the corner! I cannot help but envy those of you in New Zealand, I understand the weather is getting colder for you, but warmer! I might just have to swing by there one of these winters to escape the snow and ice, and of course I would have to visit my favourite scrap booking store while I was at it! There are so many goodies there, I am not sure where I would start filling my basket, so its a good thing Adrienne gets to choose, and look at the gorgeous product she sent me to work with!

The papers are from the Pink Paislee Nantucket line, such a versatile line and perfect for my little project. I paired it with some goodies from my stash, but mostly embellishments that were included in my DT kit.

 

Challenges

• The Paper Players : Framed
• Case this Sketch : Sketch (I used the sketch for each little pendant!)
• CAS-ual Fridays : Over the edge

Hope this inspires you to create something beautiful!

{Rebecca} Scrappin Patch : OTP inspiration

This is my last post for a few weeks as I'm taking a a little bit of a break for a rather important event in our lives :) Our little one is due in about 3 weeks, and with having just moved house we decided a few weeks off from my scrapbooking room (the husband has literally locked the door so I'm not tempted ... ) so I could concentrate on the next few weeks. Needless to say we are extremely excited to meet our little one!

For my this post I have two projects I wanted to share, both using up the bits and pieces that I've collected from the gorgeous kits that I have been sent. My first project is a dolled up jar full of preserves. I love the idea of giving home made food gifts and love finding fun ways to dress it up. These papers from Prima were the touch I needed.

 and to go with it .... a card made from the this and that. Do you ever have paper that you can't remember who its made by? After my initial projects made from this kit, these pieces found their way into my scrap stash and I completely lost track of what they were. I do know though, that you can find the exact papers in the Scrappin Patch store. Maybe you should head on over there and do a little detective work. I'd love it if someone came back with some information :)

Thank you so much for being part of my adventure.
