Z Becky Brown and CardMaker Blog Hop


Hi and welcome to Z Becky Brown and CardMaker blog hop. I am glad you can join us. You should arrive here from Cheryl Walker. In case you're missing any link, you can find  the complete list at CardMaker blog.

When we first get the notification for the hop, I was really curious as this was my first time hearing about the company. But, as I browse their site, I got excited just looking at all the options they have.

You have the option to pick ready to use background or create your own. For my ready to use background, I picked this cute & cheerful tropical theme. I just love this! Isn't it super cute?



Next, I play with creating my own scheme. I love collecting cute stuff. In high school and college I used to collect book mark, trolls (yes,those cute thing with colorful hair), and other random stuff. If it's cute, has animal image or word of wisdom, I like to collect them.

So, for my first cover, I created this cover that said, "You Are My Happy Place". Pretty much this tote box would hold those cute stuff that do take me to my happy place just by looking at them. I used the patterned paper from Heidi Grace collection and the dies and stamp from Papertrey Ink Phrase Play #1 set.




I had so much fun playing with this, that I decided to create a second cover. As much as I am a homebody, one of my passion is travelling. Whether it's in the States or abroad, hubby and I made it a point to go somewhere new every year. I love learning new cultures, see new places. I think travelling open your world and your mind.

And, when we  travel we always collect souvenirs, maps, tickets, and other memorabilia. So, for my second box cover, I created a travel theme. I can store those memorabilia in here till it's ready to go into our scrapbook. For this one, I used Elle's Studio patterned paper and Technique Tuesday Geotags set. 



Seriously, the possibilities are endless. Wouldn't it be cool to create one for your kids? Each of them can have their special handbag? 
 
And, Z Beck Brown handbags are made in USA and they are God's creation friendly, made  of a renewable resource & eco friendly natural polymer which comes from the sap of pine trees.

I hope you enjoy today's hop and find lots of inspirations. From here please hop on over to Z Becky Brown. Thank you so much for stopping by here and may your week starts off wonderfully! 

PS: If you'd like to get your very own Z Becky Brown handbag they have a sale going on right now. See below.
