Okay, I’m a little bit pleased with my results and I”ll say that surely doesn’t always happen. Well, perhaps you don’t know but I can be as slow as molasses. I really take my time when I’m making a card. Well today, I’ve been out of the house all day and have only an hour before I have to go pick someone up. I had these supplies and wanted to pull something together quickly so this is my one hour endeavor. I know, hold your heart, it’s hard to believe . . . I knew exactly what I wanted to do and sat down to do it. I found these three little hearts in the clearance section at Walmart and immediately knew they would go with this Quietfire Designs sentiment called When You Get to the End. My sweet daughter claimed it – and whisked it off to go in her dining room :-)
I simply stamped the sentiment four times using a Stampamajig then went around the border with distress inks. I broke the clasps off of the back of each heart and popped them up with foam tape. I added the crystals so that there would be a little color.
Here’s the packaging from the heart pins – I hate to throw them away. I might have to find a couple more of these.
ETA: The frame was also a cheapie from Walmart – I think it was $3.00.

Okay, I’m out the door but I’ll be back tomorrow with a Blog Candy Winner. You might be able to squeeze in another comment on my post of April 25th if you are quick ;-)

How in the world do you find 3 little hearts in a clearance section and turn them around to complete a project like this …. in an hour, no less!!!
I can see why your daughter whisked it away.. It is really beautiful! isnt so cool when you come across those perfect little finds~
Becca, that is simply beautiful. What daughter/son wouldn’t want to receive that. Super job!!! TFS! :-)
This is a beautiful project Becca. The only detail you forgot to mention was where you found that beautiful frame. It just fits your project perfectly. I agree, your Daughter is very lucky to call you, “MOM”!!

This is beautiful!
I, too, work slowly, but every now and again everything just clicks into place quickly and I surprise myself at the results.
Great project and thanks for sharing.
“one hour endeavor” and “simply stamped” do not equate with the stunning outcome of this project. I appreciate your talent, Becca.
Thank you.
I love that message. I have to admit that I am afraid of death so this would be perfect for me to look at everyday. Don’t know why I am afraid as I am a believer and know where I am going but it is the getting there and not knowing what is going on here that scares me.
Outstanding!!! Why can’t I find those goodies at WM? LOL That is just absolutely precious.
This is fabulous… I agree with Mickie, why cant I find these sales :)
This is so beautiful!
I love the picture as well, very pretty and like your daughter I would have claimed it as well, given the chance.
Hello again,
Just wanted to say WOW, its beautiful and fast.
I cannot believe you did it in an hour!!!
Becca~ This is STUNNING hun! WOW What a gorgeous creation…if I were your daughter I would have claimed this amazing creation too! Your work is so gorgeous hun!
Hugs~ Kim
this is so pretty! great project, it’s fabulous!
What a nice gift. Such a beautiful creation and something that will live on forever and never get crushed or tossed aside like cards sometimes do. I especially like the way you framed it, it makes it worth a million dollars.
Very nice, Becca ~ what a wonderful gift for your daughter…
This is so clever…..how creative…..you never disappoint us….and I’m sure your DD love it…..thank you for sharing……I just might have to make one of these for my DD……
Becca – you are so talented and creative. If presented with the same materials, I never would have thought to make this lovely gift. You go girl!!!

This is just lovely Becca, if I were your daughter I would have done the same thing. I must add this is so creatively done. Thanks for sharing some of your life with us, that’s how we get to know you and you get to know all of us a little with your questions for your blog candy, clever girl. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
That is so beautiful Becca…I can judge how much I love something when I first open the page and how much it takes my breath away… I had to remember to breathe today! Love it! It’s nice to know that stamping isn’t just cards and scrapbooking. It can be art!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Becca, A wonderful project. How lucky your daughter is!
Mary
How beautiful I bet she will love it if not I have a spot on my wall I sure would!!!!!
Jen
What a sweet little plaque. Your ideas always amaze me.
This is so, so sweet… I’ll be trying something similar this weekend. It’s amazing to me that other people can find such cute things, especially when I think I’ve seen them all. A quick trip to Wal-Mart is in the plans for the weekend. Have a beautiful day!
This is absolutely beautiful–well, all your work is absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful! I can see why your daughter ‘claimed’ it.
What a beautiful gift for your daughter! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love the sayings and great presentation. The simplicity is so cool!
Beautiful and creative project!
I can see why your daughter took it and ran!
You are so talented and kind for sharing you gifts.
Hugs, Dawn
Beautiful, beautiful work. Your daughter is going to love it.
It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
A lovely idea!!! Wonder if WalMart has any left???
What a lovely find….I can’t get to Walmart until tomorrow….I know everyone will be out hunting for these….were they in the jewelry department?
Wow just love it
One hour?!? Something so beautiful and meaningful that looks like it could have taken hours and hours to make! Love it.
While I was till in the midst of savoring your design, a friend brought me little metal tags today with those very words on them! How cool is that? Thank you for all your creative ideas!
Beautiful project, Becca! Love those pins! I haven’t been to Walmart in ages – what isle were they in and what was the clearance price?
Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Becca!
What a great project. You have such wonderful ideas. It looks great in that distress ink color. The sentiment behind is terrific. I must get that stamp.
Hugs Marion
Gorgeous project, great sentiment to have around all the time!
Becca I am in love with your project!!! How very beautiful….
Don’t you love Suzanne Cannon’s work! I have many of her magnificent stamps.
Hugs, Candy
Oh so beautiful this framed piece is. simple and yet so very classy. I need to look for those pins next time I am at Wally World…my name for Wal-Mart! Fantastic piece Becca> Your daughter only deserves the best right…and for it to be from Mom is added extra!!
HOW ADORABLE……WHY CAN’T I EVER SEEM TO COME ACROSS THESE KIND OF DEALS.

HI Becca, I am so sorry to hear about your Father’s passing. May God give you the comfort, strength, and fortitude to deal with your loss. I love this project, it’s etheral in many ways, and oh so heartwarming.
