It’s funny how you can become such good friends with someone before you even meet them. These days of technology make it possible to meet people that you never would have met before.
I first “met” Becky while working for a stamp company and we immediately became good friends. The kind that talk often on the phone and support each other, encourage each other through burnout and changes, the kind who give their honest opinion even when it’s hard to say and share in your excitement when something good comes your way.
After a couple years of friendship, I was ecstatic to finally meet Becky Olsen in person last May in Buffalo. I was so excited and we had the best 24 hours of fun. We had to hit Starbucks a couple times while we were there and here’s one of the photos I took. I’ve been meaning to get it scrapped for some time and found this fun Fancy Pants Designs paper worked perfectly. Don’t you love the vibrant colors of these papers?
The layout for this page was inspired by another Creative Scrappers Sketch, sketch #122. I hope you’ll join us for some more inspiration and play create along with the sketch challenge here. This is my last layout for Creative Scrappers. What a fun, inspiring and wonderful team to be on. The sketches are fabulous and inspired me to try out new things. I would have loved to have applied for another term but want to focus more time on my creative goals. I hope to find lots of time this fall to keep up with the sketches and continue to play along as I can. Thanks so much Kristine for the wonderful opportunity. I wish you and your site the best and congrats to the fabulous new design team.
Quick Tip: Sand paper over cardboard. This sanded textured happened by accident. I decided to sand some of my black patterned paper to add dimension and interest. I just happened to have a piece of corrugated cardboard underneath as a work-surface and ended up with this very fun sanded texture.
