Becky Higgins..my scrapbooking idol!

Where to find Rubber Soul products? If you're having a hard time finding online stores that carry Rubber Soul/Wordsworth products, you can order directly from Rubber Soul. Check out the ordering process HERE. I would simply call the phone number and tell them that I sent you. Hope that helps!

UPDATE: Becky's not gonna be at KC....I'm majorly bummed. But I totally understand why. I can't link to her blog for some reason but her little girl is sick and has been in the hospital. Best wishes to Becky and her family.

Friday is gonna be a GOOD day! I'm road tripping with 5 of my best scrapbooking buddies and we're heading to a Creating Keepsakes convention in Kansas City! The best part.....I get to meet Becky Higgins in person!!!!!!!!!! She has been my scrapbooking idol since the very first issue of Creating Keepsakes, my favorite scrapbooking magazines. I can't wait to meet her, shake her hand, get our photo and have her sign my new copy of her Sketches book. So if you are heading this convention, please know that you will need to get your chit chattin' done early with Miss Becky. Me and my new BFF will have LOTS to talk about once I get there!!! LOL!!

To round out my total suck up session with my new BFF Becky, I made her this cute little notebook. I know her favorite color is green because all of her scrapbook rooms have green in them.......I checked her blog just yesterday and there it was, her green scrapbook room!!

For the pencil jar, I colored the pencils with Copic markers in lots of shades of green....again for my new BFF Becky cuz she likes green! I cut and embossed the image out with a circle die and then while the die was still on the image, I airbrushed a light shade of green over the image. I learned that trick from other good friend, Debbie Olson. (By the way, check out her bracelet kit at Ellen's store, it's SO DANG CUTE!! You need one, I'm gonna make one too!)

Now.......I have to say.....I included my business card on the inside of the notebook. If my new BFF Becky emails me about the notebook I will just die right here on my keyboard!!!!!!!!!

Supplies: Notebook from Target, covered with polka dot paper, Ribbon from May Arts, Lockhart Pencil Jar stamp (you know it's one of my faves!), Copic markers and airbrush system, Spellbinder's Nestability Dies (got my circles, yay!), Karen Foster tiny letter stamps.
