If you all remember last month, it was my debut on the Splitcoaststampers Design Team, the Dirty Dozen.  What a month!!  Well again, it’s almost the 15th and that means that the next Dirty Dozen gallery will be opening!!  I wanted to share a little sneak peek of a card that will be in the gallery!

If you are not familiar with Splitcoaststampers or the Dirty Dozen please check it out HERE.  Splitcoaststampers is a large stamping community that harbors a wealth of information.  The Dirty Dozen is a set of 12 designers who produce elite projects that are shown in a special gallery exclusively available to The Fan Club.  On the 15th of each month a new gallery is revealed to those who have a membership in the Fan Club.  Now this isn’t a card I can post here, but if you are a member of the gallery, it will be available for you to see at 12:01am on February 15th in the Splitcoast Fan Club Gallery. 

Becca Tip:
I leave you today with a small tip to thank you for looking in on me today!  When I pulled this card together it was missing something.  I’m a beader also and have found that things you use for jewelry make excellent embellishments for cards.  The element that you see in this sneak peek is a toggle!  Isn’t that just beautiful?  I simply used a brad to attach it to my card then put a gold half bead in the center!  If you look back through my cards on this blog from the beginning – you’ll find little surprises like that peppered everywhere – I love jewelry embellishments and have been using them for quite some time.  This particular embellishment I found at Joann’s and it is from a jewelry line called Manor House. 

As always, thanks for stopping by!!

    When I stop in at Michaels or Joanns, I usually look at all the pretties in the jewelry-making department. Hopefully, when I get to see your full card, I’ll finally see a way to actually use those pretties on a card!ReplyCancel

  • Sherry DFebruary 14, 2009 - 3:07 pm

    Hi Becca, color me intrigued! I’ve been thinking about joining the fan club for some time now … and here’s another good reason why! I can’t wait to see the whole card! ~SherryReplyCancel

  • Kathleen from across the pondFebruary 14, 2009 - 3:19 pm

    Hi Becca The inspirations you give me are marvellous!!! Ther are times I wished I lived in the U.S.A just to be able to purchase some of the items you use., they are just beautiful. We are way behind you here in the U.K on the manufacture of the items you have. I love the wizard dies you use and stamps and ribbons I have managed to purchase several items via America and awaiting patiently for the latest ones to come to this country. The jewellery embellishments you have used on your sneak preview I have not seen any in this country that are anything like them yet! But once again you have got me looking for something else lol. You will keep me poor. Please dont stop though, Ilook forward to receiving your e-mails daily.

    Hugs and God be with you

  • freidaFebruary 14, 2009 - 3:42 pm

    How creative you are! I can’t wait to see the entire card! I have what I call my “treasure chest” where broken pieces of jewelry, embellishments cut from worn out clothes, and any other do-dad I can find, goes in to add just the perfect touch to a card or layout. It’s really amazing what you can come up with when you think outside the box!

    Hugs~ReplyCancel

    A friend just introduced me to your blog last week. I definitely RSS feed you to my Google Reader.

    Your work is very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Lisa D. Atha (inspired by purple)February 14, 2009 - 11:26 pm

    Geez, what a bummer, I want to see the rest of the card. I can’t afford to pay the membership fee for the fan club. However, I have faith that you will continue to dazzle me with other projects right here on your blog!

    Becca –

    You should get a percentage of the Splitcoast profit for causing so many people to join the fan club! I love your artwork and if there is a place I can see more of it, I’ll pay the subscription fee.

    God’s continued blessings!

    such sweet embellishment, I need to check out the jewelry isle a little more I think :)ReplyCancel

  • PeggyFebruary 15, 2009 - 9:52 am

    Uh oh!! I am in trouble! As a scrapper I used to “frequent” the hardware aisles at Lowe’s and Home Depot looking for out of the ordinary items for my pages. Now I will have to expand the aisles I go down at the local craft stores! If you ever have the opportunity to visit a “new concept” Michael’s store, you will just be amazed at the beading section!
    Thanks Becca!!ReplyCancel

  • SharronFebruary 15, 2009 - 3:53 pm

    I love the jewelry embellishment. I too love to use little bits & pieces of things I already have from earlier projects.

    I have chairs like that –we bought them for a shower favor then the theme changed. Now I have another idea on what to do with them–thanks–I am going to grab some more this weekend!!!ReplyCancel

Thank you so much for all who left kind words about my post yesterday, what a pleasant surprise!!  I guess the chair wasn’t nearly as odd as I thought!   The post raised several questions and rather than answer them individually I wanted to add it here.

Is the chair for sale?
Unfortunately I don’t have the chair – it was sent to Anaheim and no longer belongs to me.  

Where do you get chairs like that?
I haven’t seen chairs like this for a while but then again I haven’t been looking.  The chair used in the post I’d had for many years.  It seems to me that I picked that one up at Hobby Lobby or Big Lots.  I’ve also seen such finished chairs at TJ Maxx.   

What paper did you use?
I used an older K&Co Paper.  When I get the name, I’ll add it here

What Spellbinders did you use?
I used two of the new Spellbinders – LG Octagons, SKU #S4-185 and LG Scalloped Octagons, SKU #S4-187.   I was fortunate enough to be able to introduce those two new shapes last month here.

Is a Tutorial coming?
I did take step by step photos of the making of the chair.  I’ll be happy to show them in the future, so stay tuned!

I’m working on some things behind the scenes and I’ll be back to share a new card soon!

    As long as it has your name on it, (and it must as I knew it was yours) Spellbinders should eventually return it to you. Should :-)ReplyCancel

Okay, I’m working on some projects so I didn’t have a project ready to post.  Do you know that that means?  That means, I’m going to dig into my stash of things I’m really not sure about sharing.  I suppose that every blogger has such a stash.  I’ll preface this project by saying that "it’s different".   So many of you often say that you like how much I think outside of the box.  Well, I’ll admit, this is out of the box and over into the next box, lol!!   Truth be known though, I like it – it’s different!! 

This is something I put together to send to CHA.  I’m not sure if it was on display or not . . . if it was, I’m totally amazed that someone didn’t come back to me and say hey, that thing you made . . . it’s different!    I don’t know why but these little chairs are something I absolutely adore.  I have one in my studio where it hangs on the wall and it displays my favorite wooden stamp of the moment.  I have one in my bedroom that has a bowl where I keep my rings, I have one in my family room that has a figurine of a cat laying down.   I had one on my desk that had my pencil cup on it.  You get the picture . . . I like these little chairs.  I  took the one from my desk and thought it would be a neat thing to make it into a rolodex.   Yeah, you were  probably wondering what the heck is was. 

The chair was plain, unpainted wood so I painted it with ivory paint and distressed it.   Oh, did you notice the pages of the rolodex and the notecards in the seat were made from the new Spellbinders Octagons and Scalloped Octagons?  I love that shape!!

So humor me today. . . is it really that different?

  • MicheleFebruary 11, 2009 - 10:43 am

    It is absolutely adorable!!! So stinking cute; I love the note cards – what a great shape for a rolodex and the pink and ivory are just fabulous!!!

    How big are the chairs…I’m guessing they’re small…just curious “how” small and where might one find them?

    You know…we all want to be like you! :DReplyCancel

    You are soooooooooooooo “coolio”. This is “off the chain”. This is “the bomb”. You get the idea (yes, i have teenagers). I love this cute little rolodex. Girl, you are one of my favorite creators eva!!!ms.cherylReplyCancel

    Becca, I love projects like this, and yours is so beautiful. I love the colors and the papers. Where do I find the chairs…I NEED these darling rolodex chairs for some gifts!Thanks…JoyceReplyCancel

  • Debi E.February 11, 2009 - 12:03 pm

    It may be “different” Becca, but it sure is gorgeous. I am at work 9 – 11 hours a day, and I have my office decorated in “my” style and they are OK with it, but some of the guys say it’s too Frou Frou, and don’t stay too long. It even smells “girly” because I have a clean cotton fragranced smelly jelly out. This “Rolodex” would go PERFECTLY with my collection! Wonder how much you’d charge me to part with it??? Hmmmm, or do you think it could be blog candy? Silly me, I could probably make it if I would take the time…..but teasing aside, it is absolutely stunning. Keep thinking “waaaaaay outside the box,” it gives the rest of us a goal to achieve. I wanna be Becca when I grow up!

    Love and God Bless,
    Debi from Rittman, OHReplyCancel

    I love your rolodex it isn’t different it’s unique. Besides being functional it is decorative. I love the paper on your pages and where did you get the print for the pages? Lovely project. TFS Ann LindReplyCancel

    This is fabulous – and this was in your ‘not sure’ pile? – I think I need to give up now!! Lol.ReplyCancel

  • Heather MFebruary 11, 2009 - 5:07 pm

    How precious! I so adore soft willowy colours like this and the chair is simply charming. Why not make it practical, as well?!
    Remember the wooden chairs we made as kids? They were made with popsicle sticks. Can’t recall how at the moment, but it might be a frugal way of making many for say, a baby shower?! Yup, I can see the imagine in my mind’s eye right now :) Baby’s name, weight, etc.
    Thank you for all your unbridled inspiration! You’ve taught me so much about details and I’m having fun playing with all sorts of piddly little wonders I had forgotten I even own.ReplyCancel

  • Julie KoerberFebruary 11, 2009 - 8:01 pm

    Becca, I think this is just adorable! My grandpa used to make mini chairs and rocking chairs when I was a kid and I can’t tell you how many of these I had in my house growing up! Your post brought back memories and what a fun and creative way to use one!!ReplyCancel

  • Leslie MillerFebruary 11, 2009 - 8:22 pm

    Gosh, I hope you don’t hesitate to share your outside the box things again, Becca, because this is totally fabulous! I don’t think you’re capable of making anything I don’t absolutely love. What a sweet idea for a Rol-o-dex. And, yes, I was wondering what it was at first, but now I can easily see… This is just so darn pretty!ReplyCancel

  • Anne SpiteriFebruary 11, 2009 - 9:16 pm

    Becca,

    Ok, your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Yes it is different, but in a very good way! It is so adorable. I’ll bet you could sell these. Where on earth did you get these little chairs? I hope I am not the only one to ask that. Anyways, thanks so much for sharing this. This is the best example of thinking outside the box that I have ever seen.
    Love it!

    totally increditible.
    God has been good to you, Becca.
    Thank to Him for you, and Glory to Him because of you.ReplyCancel

    I saw your chair photo and I thought, wait, I have seen that before….then I remembered it was on display in the Spellbinders booth. I helped put out some of the artwork and it was used.
