Hi there friends – we’re right on the edge of a holiday weekend, the beginning of summer and coming up on a day to savor the memory of our loved ones who served on Monday, Memorial Day. I wanted to pop in and share a couple of things. The first thing is as rare as a dinosaur (I’m not kidding) so you’ll want to come see – what is it? Lets just say this is what happens when creative minds come together.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a selfie person, so I only let her snap one picture. I’m just not photogenic and am much more at home behind the camera – but what a great opportunity to spend some creative time! Last month I was so busy with the roller coaster of life that I didn’t get to share this picture. You’ll recognize her – Stacey Caron – she’s the inventor of Spellbinders and the creative force behind Spellbinders Dies – tools so instrumental in my wonderfully crafty life, and my friend! As a newly licensed designer we spent a little bit of time on camera together chatting. Ahem, me on camera in a video? Check, that’s an entry for my “Do Something That Scares You Everyday” journal!
So, HERE is a link that not just a picture or just my hands – it’s me in real life even though if you really look you’ll see I’m kind of shy but there’s no doubt that I’m tickled as punch with where I am right now.
Lots of planning goes into what Spellbinders produces and the dies you see now were conceptualized more than a year ago, in some cases two. I was amazed at the operation and and even met the folks that pack your orders (and my orders too). In fact there are a lot of people who work behind the scenes. I work alone so it was a bonus to me to walk into a place where the creativity is just swirling around in the air. Stacey and I poured over design ideas and well, I came back home with wind in my sails.
So here are a couple of links for you today:

Hey, and if you make anything with my dies, drop me an email to let me know – I’d love to see!
Becca,
As you probably know you see my name come up almost every time you blog. What a joy to see you and Stacey together. Girl you are so humble and you shouldn’t be! Spellbinder is so lucky to have someone of your quality and professional design. I had been to the website and saw the card and the candles blog and I have already purchased your wonderful dies. One of these days I will have to email you a picture of something I did with them.
As always, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and as I have said God Bless your creative hands!!
Hugs,
Mstgane

It was so good to see a person attached to the voice we hear in all your tutorials, Becca! The video was just great! I have purchased over a hundred dies from Spellbinders so that tells you your inspiration has made a mark in my card output! The newer dies are even better cutting than formerly and that makes a big difference too! Thanks again for all the time you spend with your creativity coming up with these beautiful dies.
You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Your blog is my favorite site for inspiration. Your creativity just astounds me over and over again. Wishing you a peaceful Memorial Day.
Your cards are a gift from God. You use your gift graciously and beautifully. God Bless you, Becca. Thank you!
How cool being friends with the Spellbinders lady. It was so nice to see your photo. You two look so happy.
Hi Becca,
Fabulous piccie of you both, how exciting, I have not watched the video yet but I certainly will do lol!
Fabulous cards and candles you have shown by some really talented, creative people, thank you.
Have a great weekend
Love & hugs

This just cracks me up because I would rather blend into the woodwork, also. You still look pretty good but for those of us that don’t like the limelight we have seen and felt that look.
Love all the beauty you make. You make us all smile.

Becca…I bought the two dies months ago with my eyes closed, because you designed it. Your cards and creativity inspired me to make my cards more profesional to my friends and family. Thank you very much to sharing your tutorials. Hugs
Hi Becca lovely to see you on camera ! Hope to see you more often………….
You are beautiful as a person and very easy on the eye !!!
You are very special and inspire so many people you always
Catch up with your blog and keep in touch with what you are up to.
Thank you for sharing X X X
Wonderful !!! – I brought the arched elegance dies based on the projects you did. Because of you I have purchased many of the spellbinders dies I own. Your ability to detail how to use the dies has been a great help and learning experience for me and now that I can watch you live makes it even better. Your gift is truly a blessing. :)
Morning Becca, just watched your video. I found you quite by accident and
I must say I check your blog everyday. Thank you for your inspiration your work is truly gorgeous. Thank you and have a good weekend.

Lookn good girl! I have these dies and will send you a photo of something when its good enough!!! Love your dies. Although there are lots of other brands on the market there’s something about spellbinders dies that I just love. Can’t find the right words to describe but spellbinderholics will know what I am trying to say I think.
Becca, you say you’re self conscious in front of the camera, but you looked relaxed and at ease in this video. You look just lovely and your creations were beautifully presented. You should be so proud to have your creativity recognized in this way.
Hello Becca,
I can see you are overwhelmed by the “full” video tutorial idea, but you are gorgeous, so don’t be shy!! Spellbinders are very lucky to have you join them as your designs are just beautiful, and I’m pleased to say that I have these dies.
Congratulations to you and Spellbinders.

Oh wow! Just love this video showing the beautiful projects! You don’t look shy at all. Your dies are fabulous!
Congrats. I love that die set. When ever it arrives from Spellbinders, I am so looking forward to using it! It is so beautiful. I have another brand of dies that are Pansy’s and so frustrated over how it doesn’t cut out well.
Love you Becca I wish I do work like you.pray for me
Becca, what a joy it was to see you! What do you wonderful, sincere, kind and so modest! You should not slander, you inphotogenic etc., you – perfect! Such a wide and beautiful soul man can not succeed in the photos and videos! Spellbinders incredibly lucky with the creative and modest designer!
