Hi there blog friends, I’ll bet you thought I was off on vacation somewhere and nowhere near a craft room, right?  Well vacation, no . . .  not near a craft room . . . no, just busy.  I knew you wouldn’t mind but my sweet daughter leaves tomorrow and I’ve spent the last week being at her beck, call and hug.  I’d love to say that it’s not bothering me that she’s leaving but that sweet girl has done right by me all her life and it’s not for me to be in her way at all. It did feel great to hop up and go to lunch with her at a moments notice or run around to her house when she needed my opinion on something.  Sigh, we load the moving truck tomorrow . . .  In the meantime, I do have a card to share and it’s made using a verse that I contributed to the set some time ago (it’s one of my favs).  I’m loving the bookmarks released this month with Our Daily Bread Designs, I used the verse from the Bookmarks Scripture set, which fit perfectly on a tag.


Using Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Four, I created the flowers, altering their size by snipping a length off of the end to vary the size.  That sweet flourish is an elegant piece found in Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs.  Along the edge of the tag I glued the wonderful border from Spellbinders™ Asian Accents.   And, I finished off with a sweet peachy rose colored button on a pearl pic.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Bookmarks Scripture
Paper: Die cuts with a View – Garden Tea Party
Ink: Amuse – French Roast
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Four, Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs, Spellbinders™ Asian Accents

Short and sweet :-)

Thanks for stopping by!! Hey, by the way, have I told you lately that something good is always on the way?

    Hi Becca, Love your card. Another beauty!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time w/ your daughter. Missed you at the show in Cincinnati. Can’t wait to hear about the “something good on the way”.ReplyCancel

  • SusanAugust 9, 2012 - 8:18 pm

    A very lovely card and verse Becca. So glad you took that precious time with your wonderful daughter. You can never get that time back and how awful if it was wasted on-line, instead of being there in person. I hope that her move goes well and that she isn’t moving too far away from you!ReplyCancel

    I feel your pain, when my son moved I thought I’d run out of tears. I hardly see him, and I miss him so much. I can’t imagine what will happen when I can’t travel because I’m too old. Love your card and everything you do.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,

    Glad that you got to spend so much time with your daughter. I know that you’ve got mixed emotions. You’re going to miss her, yet you’re thrilled to see her spread her wings and fly (after all that’s your job as a Mom, to teach ’em to fly on their own!). Just remember she’ll always be your daughter and you’ll always be her Mom! BTW, another lovely card!

  • Rhea ThompsonAugust 9, 2012 - 9:16 pm

    Beautiful as always, Becca. And yes, I did miss you; kept looking everyday for you. But I knew you were with your daughter – and that’s exactly where you needed to be. I can only imagine how you’re feeling at the thought of your daughter being “out of arms reach”. Cell phones, Skype and all the new technology sure will help! Hope you have unlimited minutes and data!

    My love,

    Oh Becca this is just another thing we as mothers have to endure but we all get through it with the knowledge that our children are growing and need to spread their wings. thank you for sharing this beautiful card and gorgeous bookmark sentiment you are truly an inspiration to so many and if you do this for people you have never met then your children will never be in need of anything.ReplyCancel

    So happy you were able to spend the time with your daughter….always happy when they are off on a new adventure, however, sad that they won’t be close by. Beautiful card and tag…love the flowers and pulling in the same color with the Asian Accents.

    Been checking every day to see what you’ve come up with! You have me suspicious girl!! Especially after you say “something good is on the way!” You also made me feel guilty…or should I say you woke me up? My oldest is not yet even 8 years old and I long for peace and quiet some days, and then at night feel guilty for not taking time like I “should” for my little ones…..but oh, how I just want to let me brian and body unwind!!! Glad you had a good time with your daughter! You’ve reminded me to put my priorities in order!ReplyCancel

  • Karen M RothAugust 9, 2012 - 11:41 pm

    A very lovely card, hun!

    Why don’t you sit down and write her a very sincere heartwarming letter and tuck among her belongings while she is preoccupied with something. That way she will always have a piece of Mom with her at all times.ReplyCancel

  • Marilyn in E-TownAugust 10, 2012 - 12:12 am

    Beautiful card! Wonderful that you could spend a whole week with your daughter, cherish it!! A mother ~ daughter relationship is oh so very special, you will learn how to keep it going even with her moving away!!
    Safe travels for your moving her!ReplyCancel

  • MaryannAugust 10, 2012 - 12:34 am

    Your cardare as always absolutely gorgeous Becca, and I just love it too.
    So happy for you, that you could spend a week with your daughter, before she moves. I hope, the move will go smoothless and safe, and don´t worry about her, I´m sure, she´ll do just fine with the great values, you´ve taught her through life hun.The idea I read here about tucking her a letter from you in her luggage is really awesome, and I´ve done that with my kids many times and they always tell me, how much it meant to them, when they got to where they should and felt a bit alone and then found this, it made things a lot easier for them, almost like I was just next to them somehow anyway, so it does work great, I know.ReplyCancel

  • JOYCE ANDERSONAugust 10, 2012 - 1:51 am

    Once Again —I think this is my favorite one TODAY…. looking forward

    ah, Becca,,,,,,No matter how ready they are, it always hurts a mother’s heart. Of course, we want them to grow and change and move out,,,we raised them to be healthy, independent, lovely people,,,,,,,,,,but it just hurts so badly! I wish I could give you a hug,,,,,,,I’ve been there. I second (or twentieth!) the idea of putting one of your lovely cards with a few words from you in her suitcase,,,,,I did that with my oldest,,,,,,I told her how much I loved her and how proud I was of her,,,,,and told her she could always come home,,,,,for an hour,,or a week,,or a year, if she needed to. I wish her the best,,,,,,and you are both in my prayers tonight! Hugs,,HollyReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithAugust 10, 2012 - 4:24 am

    It was hard when my son moved so far away. He lives in Key West now which is clear across the country from me, and we only get to visit once a year, but he is always a phone call away. However, I think I would seriously have trouble if my youngest daugther were to ever move away. She is married and has twins which I provide day care for and have gotten much to attached to her, her husband, and the girls. She is a doll and I am sure it would just about do me in if she were to move away. We have always been very close. But I know that that is always a possibility. Life happens. So I can imagine how hard this is for you. I am thankful that you have had some quality time with her before her departure. Your phone bill might increase, but it is the next best thing to having them around the corner.
    Hugs,
    MarcieReplyCancel

    Beautiful card Becca. I like the Asian Accents border placed on the side of the tag. I’ll have to try that. I really feel for you with your daughter leaving. My daughter just moved away 2 weeks ago after graduating from college. I miss her terribly.ReplyCancel

  • Ann robbinsAugust 10, 2012 - 7:15 am

    We are all glad you are back but that you enjoyed your time with your daughter. I posted early this morning (1 a.m.) when returning from a very late meeting but somehow it was not added. Perhaps at that hour I forgot to push submit. Anyway, I love the card with the tag. Awesome as always. Hugs,

    It IS hard when our children fly the nest! EVEN IF it’s just off to college for the year & then when they fly away —–at any kind of distance, to make a life for themselves…. BUT, I think you have the RIGHT ATTITUDE Becca! Sounds like you’re a good mother! :) When you set them free, NO STRINGS ATTACHED, then they come back! :)ReplyCancel

  • Marlene IacuzziAugust 10, 2012 - 7:34 am

    This cardmaking makes for a kind of sisterhood, doesn’t it. I was aware of your absence, and worrying /anticipating at the same time. What is a day when I cannot ooh and aah over one of your creations?
    As always, my list of ‘ want to buys’ grows longer and longer because of it.
    I love your new JustRite stamps.

    I wish all of my “sisters” lived near me so that we could share all of these wonderful dies and stamps that are soo pricey.ReplyCancel

  • Mary HAugust 10, 2012 - 9:29 am

    Lovely card, and TFS. I’m so pleased you were able to dedict this time to your sweet daughter. I understand exactly what you are feeling about your dtr moving away. You are so proud of her, but it’s so difficult not to see her as often as you would wish. Our only dtr lives about 700 miles away, and we don’t get to see her as often as we’d like. (She works and even if we visit, she still has work obligations so it’s not like she can just drop things and spend time with us as when she was our little girl). She just left to go back home after a quick trip to visit. So I’m feeling exactly what you describe. It does get a little easier as each day goes by, but the first few days after the goodbye are very emotional! Many hugs and God will provide comfort. Many ways to stay in touch electronically, but it’s just NOT the same as being there in person…to give a hug or kiss. Being a Mama never stops…no matter how old they get.ReplyCancel

  • Sandy MAugust 10, 2012 - 9:43 am

    I was wondering where you had gone off to. Glad you are spending as much time with your daughter as possible before she moves. Enjoy this special time. We understand and know you will be back.
    Hugs….ReplyCancel

  • conniecrafterAugust 10, 2012 - 9:50 am

    I totally understand your absence, my daughter is moving 20 hours away at the end of this month, hopefully it will only be for 3 years but they have to go were God leads them but doesn’t mean it is any easier on us.
    Your card is just Gorgeous, lovely papers, flowers and wonderful design with this bookmark stamp!ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)August 10, 2012 - 9:57 am

    Marlene Iacuzzi, who left the 37th comment said it best. I second everything she wrote.

    I too miss a day without Becca. It’s like a day without sunshine. However, I am glad you have your priorities in order, Becca. Family first always! To say that the card you have just posted is fabulous, would be an understatement. It is over the top. You have the gift, and we are the lucky & grateful recipients.ReplyCancel

  • Jean CAugust 10, 2012 - 10:00 am

    Becca,
    I love your card. The colors and the design are beautiful. Cherish every moment that you can spend with your children. We want them to be independent productive adults but it is so hard to let go and let them have that freedom to do what they want to do. God will embrace you and help you through it! Praying for you.ReplyCancel

  • SuziAugust 10, 2012 - 2:48 pm

    So beautiful! (Sigh) I think I’m going to go make some roses! You inspire me. It’s never easy when they leave the nest, but you’ll always be her mama!ReplyCancel

  • Lynne IbergAugust 10, 2012 - 3:45 pm

    I just love your card as always, Becca, the roses are beautiful and the scripture is one of my favorites too. The time with your daughter is so wonderfully important to you both, blessings to you and yours!ReplyCancel

  • kathy/NorthCarolinaAugust 10, 2012 - 5:11 pm

    So glad you spent time with your dear daughter….I constantly have to remind myself to do the important thing (people) and the less important thing (my deadline list) will take care of itself.

    And this card….Ooh-la-la! Your roses are perfection, and the whole card is just perfection.ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisAugust 10, 2012 - 8:37 pm

    This is absolutely lovely. Love how you have put the main focal on a slant very eye appealing. Nice color choice. The flowers and the beautiful bow is a nice finishing touch. Becca, family should always come first you will remember this time and so will your daughter. My best to her on her new journey. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • Diane HAugust 11, 2012 - 8:22 pm

    Wow…what a beautiufl card…..it is just gorgeous…..funny, but I just read a post from around June 12th you wrote about something good is always on the way…I subscribe to you, but have over 1800 emails I have not had time to read….so tonight I started to go thru them, I can’t just delete them, I might miss something…so anyhow, I just read the post and now here I am reading the same words again…and you are right….something good is on the way…to me…I ordered some of your new JustRite sets from Joans Gardens and they are on the way to me….oh heaven!! Also, I just won the entire NEW August release from Flourishes…..I needed that…..I am usually just a “stalker” on your blog, but had to be a bit vocal tonight and share…..and I am sure you will miss your daughter, but she will always be just a phone call away…have a nice weekend!!ReplyCancel

    Quite lovely, Becca! Gorgeous soft and feminine colors.
    Sigh, the beauty and sadness of our children growing up. Becoming friends is the most wonderful gift though! Sounds like a precious time together. So good that you have your priorities straight, family first and foremost. So glad you are giving each other your time and love…that will link you two when the physical distance is greater. God bless both of you lovely precious ladies!ReplyCancel

Good morning sweet blog friends.  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs August Release Blog Hop!!  It has been wonderful to play with new toys and today we have some very useful gifts to share.  I’m always looking for something different to give when cardmaking and our release this month fits the bill.  If you arrived here from Grace’s blog, you are in the right place!  If not, you’ll sure want to start there so you don’t miss a chance to win any of the great prizes this month as well as to get the scoop on all the details there!  The full blog hop list is also on the ODBD blog just in case you get stuck along the way or if you find any broken links.


For my creation this month, I’m sharing a card with a bookmark in a pocket!!    I’m sharing one of the many sets created to go with these bookmark die templates – if you’d like to see the whole shebang pop over to the website HERE to take a look.  For the bookmark I selected the largest and the smaller elements and chose to layer them, but I could just as easily have stamped directly on the larger panel.  I do like the look of the two bookmarks stacked and they are still effectively flat.  For my card, I cut the upper panel extra wide so that I could fold it over to make a pocket with a flap.  I lined the flap with the third largest template from Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, then added my pearls and a Peg Bow Maker Bow (4 wraps at 3.5″).


Hop Particulars:
The Hop will run from 8:00 am Eastern Time on August 1st until 8:00 pm Eastern Time on August 2nd. The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on August 3rd.  For this special event, there will be Six Prizes – your choice of an ODBD stamp set.   Here’s how to enter . . .

How to Enter the Drawing:
*Leave comments for each designer on each blog.
*Return to the ODBD Blog and leave a comment, telling us you completed the hop and answer the question there.
*Check back on August 3rd to see if your name was pulled!

Your Next Stop:
Be prepared for something gorgeous!!  To move on, your next stop is with my super sweet design teammate Sabrina!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Bookmarks Scripture
Paper: NRN, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Our Daily Bread Designs/Spellbinders Custom Dies, Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, Peg Bow Maker, Want2Scrap Pearls, Recollections Pearls, ribbon

Are you as amazed as I am that it’s already August!!  As I go back to helping sweet daughter pack, I want to thank for looking in on me today!!  By the way, be sure you mosey on by the JustRite Inspiration Blog again today, there’s more great inspiration to see using my new sets :-)

  • Katherine LawsonAugust 1, 2012 - 8:31 am

    As always, your card is beautiful Becca. I love everything about your card, but I really appreciate how you used the bookmark in a pocket on the card. I don’t normally make only tags or bookmarks. I prefer to have them as a little gift on the card. It is a great way of including something special on a card for someone you don’t normally give a gift to. The bookmark is also wonderful as a gift on a card for someone in the hospital or nursing home.

    At first I was disappointed that the new release was bookmarks, but your card made me realize that I would love the bookmarks for the reasons I mentioned above! Thank you for jogging my imagination!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca~

    This is so lovely…so elegant…and so TRUE! I love the Scripture used on the bookmark…it is one I learned as a little girl! My Rabbi used to close services in the Synagogue with this Verse. Now I know the full meaning of it, because I know the Lord, Christ Jesus.

    This is a lovely gift. I love the pearls and how the card is monochromatic. What a beautiful piece!

Hi there blog friends!  Peeking in with more cards today – I’ve exhausted every half-made thing I started this month but never finished, lol!  First up a card embracing purple – could it be that I’m finally okay with purple?  The card features a sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts intended for Christmas, but it’s awesome enough to use all year long from the Joy to the World Medallions set.  On my card base I’ve used Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles and built up from there using Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs and a spray of flowers using Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms (five flowers using the medium and small die templates).

Not my normal colors but still shabby, vintage.  :-)   I’ve used natural colored coffee filters for my flowers (yes, I keep promising a tutorial and I will get to it soon).  This has become much easier for me now that I’ve experimented around a bit – I’ll be showing you the easy way :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  JustRite Papercrafts – Joy to the World Medallions
Paper: K & Company, The Paper Company
Ink: Amuse Chalk Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles, Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs, Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms, ribbon, corsage pins, Recollections Pearls, burlap ribbon, lace

ETA!!!!  Please go by and visit the JustRite Inspirations Blog – your mouth will literally drop open!!  The JustRite Design Team has made some “to die for creations” using my new stamp line – oh, the ideas you’re gonna get!! They’ve outdone themselves – when you’re done here, go see!!!   http://justritestampers.typepad.com/justrite-inspiration/2012/07/august-release-day-1-amazing-paper-grace-collection.html

For my next card I’m using a sweet sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Loving Memories.  I picked out some more shabby paper and distressed it a little bit more with Antique Linen Distress Ink.   I found that the third largest die template from Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles was a good vertical fit for my sentiment.  After it was cut I added the fourth largest die template and embossed both templates together.  Keeping the smaller template in place, I added distress ink to give some color to the panel.  I backed my panel with the second largest die template from Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight (trimmed vertically to fit).  

For the final decoration I added the sweet filigree piece from Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms and stenciled it with Antique Linen Distress Ink before taking it out of the die.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Loving Memories
Paper: The Paper Company, Bazzill Vintage Market, Bazill
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rouge, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles, Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms, ribbon, Recollection Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by sweet friends. I’ll see you soon!!!

    Another two great-looking cards. I don’t know Becca how you easily conjure up beautiful brilliant ideas out of either new or old dies and other stuff or anything your hand gets hold of. You’re such a creative genius–one in a million.ReplyCancel

    Now you’ve gone and done it again. I had my two favourite cards topping my “Favourite all-time Becca-card list” from your last posting. Now these are my new really favourite cards. You just continue to knock my socks off. Had a peek at the JustRite cards. They did a spectacular job with your new stamp line. Congratulations Becca on all your amazing successes.ReplyCancel

  • conniecrafterAugust 1, 2012 - 9:09 am

    I my Gorgeous cards, I just love your flowers and the arrangement on that first card, love the touches of purple and the text leaves,
    The second has great uses of the dies and like the shabby chic feel to itReplyCancel

  • cindy ClickAugust 1, 2012 - 3:23 pm

    This is stunning!! The vintage/purple is such a lovely combination. A different style from you and I love it. Wouldn’t a sachet of lavender inside the card be cool?
