Guest Designer Rebecca Keppel

What a wonderful week we are having here at Core!

We are just FILLED to the brim with fun stuff for you. And today is another great day..we would like LOVE to introduce you to our September Guest Designer Rebecca Keppel. Rebecca has been a long time fan of Core’dinations and we are so happy to have her with us this month!

Here is a little bit about Rebecca:

In the beginning of 2005 I was a corporate attorney in San Francisco, but then my daughter was born and I became a stay at home mom. I started scrapbooking around that time and found the creative outlet a santity saver to say the least! We moved to Arizona and my son was born in 2007. They are the main stars of my scrapbooking show. I love practicing new photography skills on them and then creating layouts with those pictures. I’ve been blogging for about 4 years now and love sharing projects, ideas and photos on my blog. I also enjoy card making and creating mini albums and gifts for friends and family. I generally think of my style as clean with a focus on the photos, but with a definite fun twist. Two of my favorite additions to layouts are machine sewing and typewritten journaling. Since I started scrapbooking, along with my clean style has been a love of cardstock. I never create a project without at least a little of it. When I first discovered Core’dinations I couldn’t believe the dimension it added to my projects–there was nothing basic about cardstock anymore! I am so thrilled to be here as a guest deisgner and want to thank Core’dinations so much for this opportunity.

So how about a layout???

How cool is this idea?!

Rebecca used her Imaginisce distress tool (you know how much we love our Imaginisce here!) and this Sunburst Crafter’s Workshop Template and created this gorgeous sun!   She worked from the front of the Vintage Cardstock because you are distressing it (unlike when we work from the back with scoring).

Wow is this just awesome!

Finish it up with some Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions, title and a few embellies and you have a fabulous layout!

We will have more amazing layouts from Rebecca later in the month so stay close!

Imaginisce Give-a-way!

Mixed Media Canvas

Do you do Mixed Media?  If you haven’t you must!  Design Team Member Lydia Jackson has been busy preparing the nursery in their house for their new addition and she created this mixed media canvas for it. Isn’t it cute?  The theme is around this beautiful quilt she made with the images of these ducks.

Lydia painted the goose and used Core’dinations to create the Umbrella and Imaginisce for the rain (Glam Rocks). Seriously…we LOVE our iRocks here are Core. The possibilities are just endless!

Here is a detailed shot of that fabulous Spotted Core’dinations! Available in small (Jillian) and large (Tillie) dots.

If you want to see more projects from Lydia around this theme, check out her blog here for a super cute layout with the duck.
