I moved to Colorado when I was 4 years old & with the exception of a few years in California & Arizona, I consider myself a Colorado Native. I am currently living in Denver with my fabulous husband of 10+ years, Nick; our adorable, 3-year old daughter, Maggie & Tula the dog, a new addition.

Shortly after I met my husband, I met an official scrapbook – you know the kind that didn’t have a sticky-back & plastic cover on each page? Over the next 10 years, my style has evolved from the simple Creative Memories circles & rounded corners with Mrs. Grossman’s stickers to funky, vintage, altered & eclectic mixed media. Although I love to create elaborate layouts & books, I continue to have a soft spot for the clean & simple layout! I am currently obsessed with the “mini-album” & altering treasures found at my local dollar or thrift store, but I still love the versatility of a 12x12 layout – you can get so much on there!! LOL!

I scrapbook because I want all of my life’s memories preserved for future generations to enjoy. I scrapbook because I love to sit with other ladies that love what I love; share new ideas & try new techniques. I scrapbook because it’s something creative & we all need creativity in our lives!!

Heidi's Thoughts:
When I saw this little house Rebecca turned in, I was in love and it reminded me of my childhood. As a kid I loved, LOVED Sesame Street and their was a 2-3 min show titled "The Twiddle Bugs" They lived in a milk carton house. Does anyone else remember this??
lol I attached a video just for fun :) Thanks Rebecca, for a walk down memory lane!

Congrats sue! Send me your info at Hsonboul@gcdstudios.com
Those milk cartons are adorable, Rebecca! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sue . . . what a Terrific Card! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to watch the Twidle Bugs too! They are the original "Up-cyclers," since they use all the things that we humans tend to toss away to create their little toys & homes & things! We could learn a thing or two from them! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spotlight opportunity! Love GCD!!
