Get to know Rebekah.....


Hi! My name is Rebekah, but everyone calls me Becks. I currently live in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada with my Mountie man and our two pets-Tahoe (a German Sheppard Husky pup) and Keiko (A Siamese kitty) I'm originally from Bermuda, so dealing with the cold of the North is a far cry from the warm sunny beaches and turquoise seas of my homeland.
I ventured into paper crafting about 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. It all began by making cards for friends and family's birthdays and special occasions. I started my blog in April of 2009 and the rest is history. I've had such fun meeting bloggers from all over the world. I love entering challenge sites and stumbled across CCCB in May 2010. I was thrilled to be a spotlight artist in week 5 and have popped into the challenges ever since. I'm so excite to be this week's guest designer! Thanks to Kirsty and the DT for having me here this week :)
