Hello, SCT friends! Yesterday, our Editor-in-Chief, Susan, introduced our amazing new creative team for 2022! Over the next three days, you’ll get to know each of them a bit better here on the blog. Let’s kick off today’s introduction with our newest team members, Becki Adams and Dilay Nacar! 

Becki Adams 

Becki Adams

Becki Adams has been a designer within the crafting industry since 2007. She has taught numerous in-person workshops and online classes. Additionally, she has worked with many manufacturers and industry leaders, including American Crafts, Bella Blvd, Echo Park Paper, Hip Kit Club, Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine, and Stamp and Scrapbook Expo. Throughout her career, Becki has developed a style that is clean, colorful, and classic. Passionate about papercrafting, Becki considers memory keeping more than just a hobby. It is her creative release as well as a way of preserving memories for her loved ones.

When did you start papercrafting and how did it come about? 

I started papercrafting in 1998 when I was given the assignment to create a scrapbook for my Home Economics class. I was sold! I started scrapbooking and I’ve never looked back.

What is your favourite colour combination to craft with? 

To decorate with? Right now, I love working with a soft pink, navy, and sage green. I find myself reaching for that color combination in crafting and my home decor. 

At which store would you like to max out your credit card? 

There are actually two stores that are a BIG problem for my credit card, Scrapbook.com for all things crafty and TJMaxx for all the other things. 

If you had an extra half hour in the day, what would you do? 

I would make memories with my loved ones. There’s not one thing that is more important than that! 

Where is the first place you look for inspiration? 

I love looking through my own albums. My albums remind me of why I scrapbook and they provide inspiration with techniques and designs that I’m familiar with. I also love to hang out on Instagram and YouTube. 

If you could have one superpower, which would you choose? 

This one is an EASY choice for me. Time travel is at the top of my superpower list!

Favourite childhood memory? 

I don’t have one specific memory. Overall, I have such happy memories of spending time and learning from both of my grandmothers. I’m most definitely a grandma’s girl.

Dilay Nacar

Hi, everyone! My name is Dilay (most call me Dee) and I currently live in Connecticut with my amazing husband and two fur babies, but we’ll be moving to Southern California later this year! Although I love all forms of crafting, my true passion is designing and creating cards. If I’m not working or spending time with my family, you can find me in my craft room making a beautiful mess. I’m excited to share my creations with you!

When did you start paper crafting and how did it come about?

I started in April 2020 with an online card class (and the rest is history!) 

What is your favourite colour combination to craft with? To decorate with?

I love navy and gray, along with lots of white! 

At which store would you like to max out your credit card?

Restoration Hardware 

If you had an extra half hour in the day, what would you do?

Make more cards, of course! 

Favourite childhood memory?

Cooking with my mom and going to flea markets with my dad!
