Good Morning Blog friends!  I hope you had a Happy New Year!!  I’m back today with an enabling stamp that I’ve been trying to save for later on in the month.  I couldn’t do it, I gave in – it’s just waaaaay too lovely to wait.  You will likely see this more than once this month because I have a couple of different ideas swirling around my head.  The sweet stamp is from Quietfire Design called Wings of the Butterfly and it immediately zooms to the top of my favorites list.  Hand penned by Suzanne Cannon, I love the flourish on top and the whimsy of the butterfly – you just can’t get anything like this using a font!!   In the meantime for my card for today, I peeked into my stash of Riddersholmdesign paper and pulled out this muted one with a matching print.  My goodness it’s luscious and the colorway is beautiful.

I layered Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty and on top Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen. Spellbinders™ Fanciful Flight had the perfect sized butterfly to go along with the rest of the card.  After cutting the bottom scallop with Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Edgeabilities, I cut circles out of the scallop with Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – The Wings of the Butterfly
Paper: Riddersholmdesign – Chantilly Dawn Collection – Calisse, Bazzill
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Chestnut Roan
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty, Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen, Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities, Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM, Spellbinders™ Fanciful Flight, Martha Stewart Ribbon, Lace, Recollection Pearls

Don’t forget, I have New Years Blog Candy going on this week until Friday.  Click Here to go to the post where you can leave a comment to enter to win!!  See you soon!

    What a beauty, Becca. That’s one of the things I want to do more on my cards this year is to use more designer paper. I have so much of it and some if it I hate to cut (just like some of my fabric – I hate to cut it because it is so pretty). Anyway, use more DP!ReplyCancel

  • Charlotte ZweigoronJanuary 2, 2012 - 11:12 am

    Ah, more of the blue and brown… Love it! Another of my crafting resolutions for the year is to stick to the things I love to do. I did a number of items for a local holiday bazaar and almost suffered total burnout on paper crafting. It took me two weeks to get back in the craft room and a total overhaul of my storage system to get the juices flowing again. The beautiful ( and non-Christmas) items you have been posting on a daily basis helped as well!!ReplyCancel

    Very. very nice card. Like this paper and the way you have put all together. Colors are great. I’m more of a pink lover, but this year I am going to try to break away from that and expand color selection a little. This blue and brown feeling just may be where I start. I would enjoy seeing more of your talents using this color combo. Appreciate, appreciate…I do, I do!!!!! ThanxReplyCancel

  • BethJanuary 2, 2012 - 12:03 pm

  • Carol WJanuary 2, 2012 - 12:15 pm

    Just beautiful, and I too am passionate about the beautiful art of calligraphy. It’s a whole different world than choosing a font (although that is also a world of beautiful work!).

    I am really intrigued by your Riddersholm papers. Do you buy yours directly from the company overseas, or is there some other way to get hold of these pretty papers?ReplyCancel

  • AlisonJanuary 2, 2012 - 12:34 pm

    OMG Becca,
    You have done something once again that I wouldn’t have thought of…using the smallest SB circle and cutting out the spaces on the bottom of the card. Looks beautiful…I am running out of adjectives to describe how fab your work is, lol.

    Gosh this is odd Becca, I have only just left my crafting goal comment for you on your previous post and now I’ve come to your card for today and it says, ‘Never, never, never give up’. After reading my comment you will understand the irony for me. But, thank you, it seems it was meant just for me today.
    This is a lovely card and so different. I could not, however, ever give it to one of my sons; they would look at me with a stupid grin and ask if I had forgotten who they were! I am not allowed to use ribbon, flowers, bling… well nothing they class as girly! But hey, I was blessed with a daughter also, so I can send it all her way. :)

  • FrannJanuary 2, 2012 - 2:18 am

    An elegant card but I wouldn’t send it to a guy. My second crafting goal for the new year is to get and keep a head start. I need to have some cards– get well, sympathy, etc. done ahead of time so I’m not always caught short when something unexpected comes up. I also need to stop waiting until the last minute to make birthday and anniversary cards. I’m tired of the stress I cause myself by not being prepared. Procrastination serves no purpose!ReplyCancel

Happy New Year friends!  How blessed we are to be on the brink of a new year of 2012.  Hard to believe, isn’t it?   I think we all step forward with the hope that we’ll make improvements in our life, with our faith, with our families and relationships and in our finances.  I do too and as I think about the days and weeks to come I’m so thankful for the hope that a new year brings.  To celebrate, I thought I would share some of my goodies with you.   I haven’t done this in a while so I’m excited to finally have some blog candy.  Starting today, you can leave one comment on this post every day until midnight on January 5th, on Friday, January 6th I’ll pick a winner.  In your comment share what your crafting goal is for the year – inquiring minds want to know!!  Share a different goal each day!

Thank you so much for your kind words throughout the year.  The readers here are my inspiration to craft every day.  I hope that the dies, sweet sentiment stamps and scripture that you see here inspire you in a positive and giving way.  Bless you all!

    Happy New Year Becca! Ever since I found your blog about six months ago I have to check it every day to see what you have come up with. You are one amazing person and so inspirational!
    One of my crafting goals is to master the Becca Bows!!! I have to go to the video every time I want to make a bow and pause and start it until I finally get it!!! I don’t know if it is that the mind is going (or already gone LOL) or it is just a long time in between bows but I can’t seem to remember what to do! I do hope 2012 is a much better year for you. God Bless you and thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us.ReplyCancel

    You are the one who inspires me! My stamping friends and I have a weekly creative session and we never fail to discuss your creations in great detail, emulating your wonderful techniques and color combinations.

    That said, my main goal this year is to clean out and organize my craft room…which I have done! I finished today with the major upheaval, including lining cupboard backs (they showed the dry wall…ugh!) with vintage fabric that my dear mother-in-law had given me years ago. I have a dozen or more large boxes of crafting materials that I will be selling at a craft fair in February….my extras shall be someone else’s treasure, right? I am so excited to see my favorite space in the house turn into something that reflects my love of stamping and paper crafting.

    Thanks for this opportunity to share something with you as you have shared with me so many times.ReplyCancel

    Becca thanks for the chance at this wonderful candy. I just got the Grand Calibur & would love these dies & one can never have too many flowers. Those are gorgeous. One of my goals for this year is to finish more cards. I start so many of them but seem to get sidetracked easily & don’t get many posted. This year I plan to be more organized … Fingers crossed it will happen. Happy new year & I’m wishing the very best to you.

    Becca I wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year!!! Filled with life’s blog candy!!!!

    My crafting goals this year are many… One is to work on xmas cards all year so i can actually send more than a mere dozen handmade cards… my list contains approx 150 names… that small amount just didn’t work this year!!! Many a friend was disappointed… I did use a similar design to one of your cards with a Christmas tree on the front inside of a frame with ribbon on the sides… they were gorgeous!!!

    Happy New Year Becca… continued luck with your fantastic blog!

    In 2012 I vow to actually take the time to craft. In previous years I craft sporatically and regret it. I admit that at times I make excuses to not craft…. room is too messy, son needs me at his game, laundry/dishes/cleaning to do. In 2012 I WILL craft at least once a week. Needed to maintain my sanity.
    Thanks for this opportunity, Becca. Stay strong.

    After giving up teaching altogether, my hope is that I can just craft for the sheer pleasure of it and not have to meet deadlines or use particular products.

    For my first Gold Ring ushering in the New Year with a Goal to revisit some of the gems and goodies I already have in my crafting stash; be re-inspired to use them by looking at them differently (as Becca makes us all do!!!!) using my new dies and stamps to bring it all to life as well as release some of those things that I have loved so much that I was reluctant to part with them.ReplyCancel

  • Peggy E.January 1, 2012 - 1:34 am

    Happy New Year!! Throughout the year I put little pieces of paper into a “Blessings Box” with things that I’m thankful for from time to time. It may be a sunset I see or a flower blooming, or it may be that I’m blessed to have such a wonderful family. And in 2011 especially I’ve been thankful that some health issues that have occurred turned out to be not as frightening as I first thought and I’m thankful for a wonderful doctor who is watching ‘it’ closely. Every New Year’s Eve at midnight I bring out the blessings box and read the notes I’ve written throughout the year. It’s a wonderful reminder of all the good that has happened in the past year. As far as crafting goes, my goal is to get back to doing what I love–scrapbooking the pictures of the times of our lives. My health scare has taught me to do it now and not put it off for we don’t know when we will be called home. Again, Happy New Year!!!ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year. It’s time to re-arrange and organize the craft room and let go of some of the things I don’t need anymore. My goal is to create everyday, have gifts on hand way ahead of time, so I don’t have to panic and try to do one in 5 minutes. I also want to spend more time with my granddaughters showing them craft projects to make and to inspire them to paint out side of the box. I would like us to make gifts for nursing homes and children’s hospitals and let the girls go with me to give them out… I guess- Pay it forward” is the main goal in 2012.

    Happy New Year, Becca!! May the Lord bring many blessings to you in 2012!

    1. I have several crafting goals this new year! First, I’ll tackle painting, distressing and antiquing two pieces of furniture. They both have decorative carvings so I expect the techniques to highlight the lovely details and give them a great faux patina.ReplyCancel

    One of my craft goals this year is to make more cards. I buy a lot of crafting supplies and don’t use enough of them. So, my goal is to start making cards more often and more of them and use up a lot of my goodies. My husband built a nice crafting area for me a few months ago and I need to make better use of it. I don’t have a whole room for crafting so my space is tight, but I need to use it more since he worked so hard to build it for me.ReplyCancel

  • Barbara JayJanuary 1, 2012 - 1:52 am

    Happy New Year Becca!! I hope next year is smoother for you.
    My crafting goals are to expand my Copic coloring skills and try using sketches. I have never used a sketch.
    I also want to include time for my other hobby which is making Temari. Temari is a Japanese form of embroidery on a ball. For the past three years I have been a “Charlie One Note”. All I have done in crafting is make cards. This Christmas I made a Temari for my son that he wanted me to make for him. I forgot how relaxing stitching can be. Plus it doesn’t make a mess LOL
    I will continue to make cards, but in the coming year I want to be a little more diversified in my crafting. I would love to win your generous Blog Candy!! I have a new Grand Calibur . Happy New YearReplyCancel

Since I have an entire room all to my crafts, I need to take advantage and put it to good use. Wish me luck because I am not an organized person by nature.ReplyCancel

    This year I want to learn how to crochet flowers. I always love the flowers that I see on cards and on scrapbook pages and instead of buying them, I want to learn how to make them.

    Hi Becca, I am in Australia and an enormous fan of your beautiful work. I attend a card group each week and my friends all have a bow maker (courtesy of my hubbie) and only one of the 15 have mastered the bows. Most of them save their ribbons for me to tie their bows each week (at times up to 30 bows). They always have the excuse their bows don’t look as good as mine. We had an hour lesson one day to go step by step. I am known by my bows on my cards at the post office where I sell my craft. I have been told the comments are Robyn’s turn this month love the bows & butterflies. I wish you much love & happiness for 2012 and many wonderful blessings.

    Last year was all about organization and I have to say I really accomplished a lot. And though that is an on going task, this year will be all about productivity. I have so many projects planned and am sure all the new storage and organization I have worked so hard on this last year will make it easier to accomplish this years goals. My other goal is getting my blog up and running. I have been procrastinating in that area long enough. Since the granddaughters are almost two, hopefully they will allow Gramma out of their sit for a few minutes here and there to accomplish some of my goals. Of course, family will always come first, but even I need a break now and then. They are getting better about playing independantly and of course there is always nap time. Happy New Year and thanks for your generousity of super blog candy. You are simply the most thoughtful and generous person I know.

I have quite a few crafting goals some of which are to use some of the gorgeous papers I have instead of just looking at them, and to use stamps I haven’t used yet. None of these will stop me adding to my stash though. Well it would be silly not to really! :)ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year! I’m praying you’ll have a wonderful, rewarding year with lots of happiness and many new creations to share with us.
    My goal for the new year is to get better organized (time wise) so I’ll be able to stamp more and create more usable crafts. That just might mean I’ll have to find a way to create that 25th hour!
    Thanks for all your beautiful creations and the gift of sharing with others.

    Happy New Year Becca! Hope your New Year will be find you stronger, healthier, and fullfilled with God’s Blessings. I have no trouble thinking of 5 crafting goals for 2012. One that comes to mind (and is always ongoing) is better organization to make my crafting time more enjoyable and productive. My time is so limited that without organization I sometimes just run out of time, and get frustrated and give up on the creative process.ReplyCancel

I want to plug in my new cricut and story maker and learn how to use them. I too want to have cards ready on time, and I want to get myself to a few conventions. You have been my inspiration in 2010. While I could not make it up to my stamp room, I could use my laptop an see your beautiful work. I so wanted to get back to my “paper” and play things! Thank you for keeping me company throughout the long months of 2010….Now I want to use your inspiration on cards!!!ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year everyone and especially to you Becca. You are such a delight and your goals for the New Year are lofty and an inspiration to me.
    I want to congratulate Marge, who won a new cutting machine in December/. I hadn’t heard of this one, but I know she will have fun learning to use it.
    I want to continue on my road to enlightenment and continue to learn along the way. I strive to be a good person and look daily to my Creator, who sustains me in all things. For crafting goals, I too want to organize my craft room. I started in November and I’m making good progress. I think I need to start a blog of my own to give away some of my goodies, like you so generously do, Becca. I will be taking some things in to share with my calligraphy guild buddies and that will help. Thank you Becca for being willing to share your goodies with us, your lowly blog devotees. Hugs always and wishing everyone a most prosperous New Year. Don’t forget to eat your blackeyed peas today. I also found out yesterday that Collard Greens are another food that carries with it prosperity to all who partake of it on New Years Day. Go figure. Life is wonderful and always full of surprises. That’s what makes it fun to be alive.ReplyCancel

    What a way to start the new year by offering us some blog candy to win! Yeah! I am hoping for this new year to use the Spellbinders dies that I own. I haven’t even opened some of them up from their packaging.

    You are such an inspiration to me with all your beautiful cards! I look forward to each day checking my emails and see the message that you have posted!

    Wishing you a good New Year Becca with great health, wealth and family to hug you with loving arms! :)ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year dear Becca, My crafting goal ~ #1 ~ is to finally get my crafting “stuff” organized. How blessed I am that I have so much that it needs to be organized, but it’s almost overwhelming and hard to figure out where to start! Wish me luck! And thanks for the chance to win some fabulous blog candy to start the year off right!

    my goals for this year is making as many things as I can because I love to give them away. when you give a hand made item the person feels special and then you feel special too. I may not remember to come back to post each day as some times I can’t remember where to go back to. But try it. Make something and walk up to a stranger and tell them you have a gift for them today. Watch the smile when they realize you really mean it. It is amazing and so much fun you can’t wait to go home and make more things to give. And it can be the smallest, easiest craft. But you gave it to them.ReplyCancel

    My goal is to pick one card sketch from a sketch site or CASE’d from a favorite and use that to make 3 or 4 cards every week or two. That will keep me from getting bogged down, sitting and not having a direction. Once I have a plan, I’m pretty good at moving forward. It’s that first couple of steps. . . .

    Such a busy season for so many of us. My craft room looked like an explosion went off! Yesterday I decided to start the “big cleaning project” and reorganizing. I can’t begin to thank you for the wonderful system you devised for ribbon storage. I work at Michaels and have shared that idea with so many customers who come back and say a sincere thank you. I give all the credit to you. My goal for 2012, to finish unfinished projects, cards that are half complete, etc. To clean up after I’m done for the evening (that’s a tall order in and of itself). And to realize at the end of the day that I have so many blessings in my life, and to be more grateful for them.ReplyCancel

Next, I would like to shop in my personal store first (don’t add if you don’t need). Lastly, I would like to become more productive – create more – share more!

    My goal? Organize, organize, organize! After the autumn/Christmas craft fair season, my house looks like it didn’t survive an 8.0 earthquake, and I can’t find a thing without calling in the National Guard! So for now, it’s getting organized (my freezer just died and I’m going to turn it into a crafting closet. I has a huge basket area in the bottom…perfect for holding 12×12 paper, the door has the little holder areas which will hold almost anything bottle shaped, and the racks will be good for stamps and such. AND, it has a light inside.) I’ll let you know how it turns out.

My crafting goal is to clean out my crafting room of unused items and take them to places where others can use them. I have so many craft items that I forget where they are. So organization is another key goal. It’s so darn easy to get caught up in the “newest” products on the market, especially with CHA coming in January. I’m hoping to slow down on my buying and use what I have which is enough to las an eternity! Happy New Year everyone. Thanks Becca for you continued inspiration.

    My crafting goal for 2012 is to actually craft, 2011 was a very lean year for me for crafting, only doing the bare minimum, most due to time constraints but I also think my mojo took a sabbatical. I am not going to force it but I find if I put a little bit of pressure on myself that once I get started I really enjoy it.

    And I have a whole lot of supplies that need to be used! :)

    Hello Becca, my goal is not for myself this year, but for everyone else.. may the world learn to live in peace and harmony.. may your life finally be peaceful and you learn thatthings will get better and you will succeed all by yourself and you will do it. I wish for God to grant his love and for people to finally believe that he does exist and learn to believe in him and live with his laws and his beliefs. Knowing that, my life would be fulfilled and I would be happy and would not have any problems and could just make beautiful cards…
    Hugs, JeanReplyCancel

    One of my goals for this year will be to have one of my creations published. I’m on a brand new design team for Mosaic Moments and it would be good for both me and the company if I can get one of my pages published. I’ve been fortunate to have a couple of cards published, but never scrapbook pages, and I don’t see nearly enough mosiac scrapping published! I also want to participate in more challenges. I look at them, and comment, and have the best of intentions, but often never get the cards made! Wouldn’t it be nice to make a Christmas card a week, and have 50 cards ready by Christmas? I’m also thinking of participating in Project 365 this year.ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year Becca, I pray that you feel better in the new year. I know how it feels to be in pain. I myself live with pain every day. You see I have nerve damage from a spinalcord injury and my hands are numb and in pain if that makes sense.My goal for the new year is to try and make one of your cards. I have been admiring your beautiful cards for a long time. I have been saving money to buy the materials I need for one of your cards. It would be wonderful to actually win a item in your contest. You are a very spirtual person and also very giving. Thank you, GailReplyCancel

    Happy, Healthy and Crafty 2012 to you Becca.
    My first goal is to learn to make better use of my rubber stamps. Because I am not good at adding the colour to fill in the stamped outline, I tend to not do much stamping. I have water colour pencils and a big set of chalks but am not confident to use them too much.
    Love to know what the pink flowers are in the front of the picture above. Have you made them with ribbon or a die or are they a shop purchase?

    Oh Becca, how generous and how beautiful this selection of candy. I do understand that being from Wales in the UK I’m probably not eligible, but I would still like to share my crafting goals with you, if I may. You share your life and creations with us, unselfishly, everyday and I can’t wait each day to see what you have for us, even if it sometimes is very early hours of the morning (UK time).
    My first share is simply ‘peace’. No not world peace, I know that is impossible and nothing to do with crafting. I would like to find some inner peace this year, enough so I can find my creativity again. I have not been able to make a card for almost 3months and I miss it. But I am positive today; I am going to beat it and I will let you know how it goes.
    I pray 2012 is a year filled with good things and good health for you Becca.

    Happy New Year! And thanks once again for a chance at some wonderful candy. My main crafting goal this year is to make for time for my creative outlets. I just spent the past 4 1/2 years having to travel several days every week for work. That and aging parental care really stripped me of my creative time and energy. I was able to get some crafting in as long as I could get organized and plan in advance what I needed to take with me. But a new work assignment means I get to come home every night and play in my work room instead of wiling hours away in a hotel room. Have already started to dig in and can’t wait to get some things accomplished! May your year only improve with each and every day.ReplyCancel

    January 2nd 2012
    5 days and 5 rings, a goal for each . . . . so here goes for my day 2 Becca Candy blog response.
    For my second Gold Ring ushering in the New Year with a Goal to spend more crafting time with my Grandchildren encouraging them to think and believe that making small mistakes on projects is just a crafty opportunity to do it differently (self-lesson also needed here!!!); that perfection is not always the real goal!!! It’s about enjoying the creating/creative journey more and remembering that people SMILE when they receive a card.ReplyCancel

  • JoAnnJanuary 2, 2012 - 2:53 am

  • PJJanuary 2, 2012 - 6:34 am

    My first goal was better organization… Secondly I would like to be more decisive… make a decision and go with it. Sometimes (most of the time) I agonize over every thing from size to paper to sentiment… on and on and on. Once I settle on something I usaully enjoy the rest of the process, but sometimes it takes so long to get to that point, that my limited time to craft is used up and I get nowhere. Decisive… my word for the day and the year!ReplyCancel

  • BrendaJanuary 2, 2012 - 6:41 am

    Love your blog. What wonderful inspiration.

    My goal this year is to learn to watercolor or just color in general. I’ve yet to try Copic Markers but this may be the year! Truth be told, I’m afraid to try them as I will probably like them and want to buy them all!ReplyCancel

    Crafting goal #2 ~ use what I have!! I have way too many things that have never seen the light of day. Stamps that haven’t been inked ~ paper that hasn’t been cut ~ dies that haven’t been used. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it…ReplyCancel

  • Cindy WelchJanuary 2, 2012 - 7:37 am

  • Febe GiaquintoJanuary 2, 2012 - 7:40 am

    Happy New Year to you Grace and to All… it’s going to be a great year for everyone!

    Grace, it’s wonderful to see you posting again and spreading cheer.

    I have a question about how you work, or think. I”m wondering do you see a stamp, or a spellbinder die and then “think” of the layout. OR do you have pieces already cut out and you sit and match things up?

    Personaly, with stamps, I see the vision then find my stamps to match it, but when working with dies -any brand- it’s harder on me to ‘see’ the finished project as in the process there are many twists and turns.

    That is how I came to ask you how you work.

    Again, Happy New Year. So glad you’re doing well.

  • TerryJanuary 2, 2012 - 7:49 am

    One of this year’s goals it to get ALL my stuff organized; I mean find everything and start using it. Another goal is to find the Cutter from Martha Stewart’s Circle cutter board that the twins must have played when they were here for Thanksgiving. I have looked everywhere and it is such a small thing, but I am lost without it. I’m just hoping it did not get flushed. They are not quite 3 yet and have no idea what I am talking about when I try to ask them. Any clues?ReplyCancel

  • Leigh McKeeJanuary 2, 2012 - 8:20 am

    Unfortunately, I don’t get a lot of time to craft. My space isn’t dedicated so once I get everything out and save time to clean up, my crafting time is minimal. I did get time in December to get my Christmas cards done, though. My goal this year would be to convince my DH to let me make a spare bedroom into my office/craft room. Then, I could just close the door and craft anytime the opportunity arises.

    God bless.ReplyCancel

  • Val WJanuary 2, 2012 - 10:14 am

    I am a sewer, as well as a papercrafter, so you can imagine the supplies I’ve amassed for both hobbies. I work at a business that does mail order sewing notions/fabrics. I’ve been able to bring home end cuts/ “scraps” (generally 1/4 yard or less,but some are larger) from cutting yardage for customers….very addicting….always with the intention of making something out of them. Well, I am going to start sewing up some of that fabric (before I’m literally buried in it!). I have brought home knits, as well as cotton fabrics, thinking about “someday” using them.
    I have some t-shirt knits that will become little t-shirts to take to our local food pantry, where they also have a clothing bank, for the food pantry clients.
    I also plan to make some quilts, and crochet some rugs with strips of fabric. Someday has come!ReplyCancel

  • Barbara AKA GardenladyJanuary 2, 2012 - 10:15 am

    One of the goals I set for yesterday was to use more of my Spellbinders dies. So many I haven’t even opened up the package except until yesterday. I played around with several of them. I had some Christmas cards that had wonderful verses inside that I hated to just throw in the trashcan. So I got my dies out and played around with cutting those verses to be recycled into new cards for the future. Yeah! I guess another goal for this year is to use some of the stamps I bought and haven’t used.

    Love the card today! Blue is my favorite color!ReplyCancel

We came up with an idea to build a 7′ x 14′ storage room outside in the garage and include a/c in it for all the holiday stuff. Then, I will design my craft room–all for me!!! I can’t wait to get it all together but I know it will take a few months. It will be so exciting!!!ReplyCancel

    One of my goals this year is to try some CAS cards! LOL!! I love seeing many of the CAS cards all over the web, but every card I create ends up being a pretty detailed production and they take so long to make… so I need to try some CAS and even one layer cards.ReplyCancel

    Good afternoon! My first crafty priority is figuring out what I have! I seem to keep buying the same things…go back to my first post about cleaning the craft area! I have stuff all over the house so I don’t know what I own. So that has to be at the top of the list!
    LOVE the card from today! You are absolutely remarkable!
    Thanks so much for the chance to win,,,and maybe focusing me a little bit on my tasks!!

    Becca, I really did some reflecting on your question and realize that organization of ALL my craft items should be a priority. I find myself buying some of the same items and then giving them away to my stamping friends. Sooooooo…… I’m restricting my purchases until my craft room is better organized. I’m starting today by going through my stamp drawers and eliminating stamps that are still unused or have no interest to me. It amazes me how my “style” keeps changing. Loving shabby chic now. Great idea for this post and would love to win your goodies because I don’t have any of them, especially those pretty flowers.

    My goal is to make 2012 the year that a craftroom is put into place. I have two spots in my home, an area in the basement or a room on the third floor,if in the basement more space,but if on the third floor closer to family.
    Which spot to choice has stopped me from moving foward, but 2012 is the year to get organize!ReplyCancel

Actaully that will be probably be easier that I think because my local craft shop has closed down and now to get to a place for gorgeous papers etc I will have to travel more than 50 miles, and then back!!! I think my stash might actually diminish!ReplyCancel

    Becca’s beautiful butterfly verse card- a great start to my day seeing it.
    Goal 2 for 2012 for me is to get someone to make a BECCA PEG BOW MAKER you showed us some time back. I love bows and most cards have one attached and every time I attemp to tie the bow I think of you and your bow maker. Yes it will happen – not just this year but this month and this week at the latest. Life is too short so I am going to make the most of every day. God Bless you and take care each day.

    Miracles happen! Today I actually started on the goal I wrote yesterday. I already have a box of stamps and embellishments to pass on to friends. Getting started helped me establish my second goal -‘quit saving, use it! I tend to save that one piece of paper or perfect ribbon for the special project. Hmm – it is time to make every card then”special project” deserving of the items growing in my collection. Smile.

    Becca, I love the stamp and your color application. Have you considered putting a book together – “the Best of Amazing Paper Grace: God’s blessings through paper art.”. I’d be your first customer.

  • Mary SchmidtJanuary 3, 2012 - 1:42 am

    WOW! You have many followers! I started out reading the comments. Then I scrolled to the comment block. It took a lot of scrolling to get to the end. It appears a lot of organizing will be going on. LOL! I put new things on my craft table until I get them logged into my inventory book. I have to Get caught up on that so I can play with the new stuff. I spend too much time reading all th e blogs that I get inspiration from. You are so amazingly talented! I marvel at each card you make .ReplyCancel

  • SharonJanuary 3, 2012 - 2:03 am

    This is a great give away! Unfortunately for me I just found out about it.
    I’ll still give my major crafting goal this year and that is to pist a project to my blog at least twice every month! I am hoping that this push I’m giving myself will get me on my blog alot more and consecutively and not so randomly. This past year has been a tough one for me so I am very much looking forward to 2012! Bring it on = ))

    Thanks for a great give away Becca,

    Adding to getting published, and a couple of DT calls, I really need to organize my craft area a little better and maybe purge some of my scraps. I have so many of them and every bit can be used for something, They are building up faster than I can use them all, and I don’t have that large of a space any more since I moved. Maybe I’m hoarding them a bit too much? lolReplyCancel

So when my friend gets home from vacation, (she is the one who does a beautiful job with water colour cards) I will phone and hopefully she will teach me. If not I will try it on my own, at least one card a week. DianneReplyCancel

  • SoniaJanuary 3, 2012 - 5:22 am

    In working on organizing my craft room, I have been thinking about the possibility of moving it to a larger room so I could hold the classes I am planning right in my craft area rather than have to bring things out to the dining room. Since I am not sure if this is the best idea, as well as being a daunting task involving the rearranging 2 or even 3 rooms, I hesitate. So I continue to work on the current space as even if I do move things, having the one area organized will make the task a little easier should I decide to go that way. (I may be crazy- ;D!)ReplyCancel

  • Linda (lindyloo)January 3, 2012 - 5:59 am

    Well Becca, its day three for me to give you my next goal for 2012
    I have been thinking long and hard about this so that it wasn’t just a flippant answer, but something that would be achievable but worthwhile also.
    So today would be Time. I must make time for crafting. Sometimes I plan to do some papercrafting but don’t plan my day well enough and end up with little or no time to craft. So I am going to make time within each and hopefully everyday to do a little crafting if not alot.
    So far my goals are then, 1.Peace -Inner peace to find my crafting mojo again. 2. Patience -To be patient with myself when my cards etc don’t quite turn out the way they should. 3. Time -Make time to craft and to relax.
    This little exercise of yours is really helping me to organise my thoughts AND my craftroom! Wonderful.
    All the best Linda (S.Wales, UK)ReplyCancel

  • Monika/buzsyJanuary 3, 2012 - 7:43 am

    Another resolution came to my mind… it would be to send out more cards! I am the worst when it comes to mailing my cards out… or just writing them out! I love making them, but that’s it! I usually have my hubby write the cards out because I don’t like my handwriting!ReplyCancel

  • Marge R. (mer)January 3, 2012 - 8:02 am

    Thirdly, I am going to help my hubby re-organize my craft room, adding shelving to my closet. I know that this will create a lot of work, including a lot of tossing out/giving away, but that will be very good in the end. I think I’ll have a renewed sense of accomplishment and it will spur my creativity too — a clean craft table always does, so just think what a whole clean room will do!!!ReplyCancel

  • Chris BakerJanuary 3, 2012 - 8:03 am

  • Sylvia/GeorgiaJanuary 3, 2012 - 8:25 am

    After organizing and purging, my 3rd craft goal for the year is to become more focused. I’d like to take my birthday list and set aside a time to make the cards for each month instead of making them one-by-one (usually the night before they have to go in the mail). Wish me luck!ReplyCancel

  • Barbara BJanuary 3, 2012 - 8:36 am

    Today’s goal is to become more organized, and I think that this can be done by getting rid of some things. So, as I rearrange everything, I will also start putting things aside that I can sell at the next ‘garage sale’ that one of the local stores have. That way I can buy more!!! (Isn’t that defeating the whole point of the exercise!!) :-)ReplyCancel

  • Barbara in SCJanuary 3, 2012 - 8:43 am

    Let’s see ~ goal #3 would be to adopt that Scout motto “Be Prepared”. Make those necessary cards ahead of time so that I’m not scrambling to get them done the day before they are needed. After all, the birthdays arrive the same day every year, just like Christmas! Make a list at the start of the month and Get ‘er Done!ReplyCancel

    Hey there Becca! LOVE today’s card! I just don’t know how you come up with these fabulous designs…I wish I had your vision.

    On to the craft room: also on the list is setting up my machines so they can actually be used when I need them, instead of pulling things from here and there and setting them up temporarily. AND keeping things that go with each near the machine to which they belong!

    More tomorrow. Thank you for making me think this all through…now if I can only act on it!

    Have a great day!

    Hi Becca, Thanks again for all the wonderful inspiration. You have shared so much with us your readers and I truly appreciate having an opportunity to share your journey! I have so many craft goals for 2012…one would be to have my son make me the two wooden bow makers that you described in your blog and the other is to get organized so I can actually get into my craft room to create! LOL Thanks for the chance to win! Hugs, TeresaReplyCancel

    This year my goal will to make some beautiful feminine cards like you show on your blog. You have such a creative mind and pull things together and they look beautiful. This might sound strange but I really need to learn how to ink the edges of the paper to make it look vintage. I have tried and it looks like a child smeared stuff on the edges. Maybe I am being too fussy but some areas look fine but others too much ink. How do you make yours look so pretty?ReplyCancel

    Goal number 3 for me is make some cards for less fortunate people around me so they can send to others. As cards are expensive some people can not afford to give them so if I make and give some for others to send to loved ones it would make me feel better and the sender feel better too.
    God Bless you each day Becca.

    Happy New Year Becca it is good that you are back with us again. I would like to be able to produce the beautiful bows that you do and also hope to launch a cardmaking workshop for others. It is all tied up with trying to get people to use the local library as well. Anne xReplyCancel

    Wow! Look at that comments total… and still going up. Don’t think I’ve ever seen the number this high before. Three days into the new year and I am still going strong with my “resolution” to make more creative time for myself. Of course I’ve been on vacation time, so we’ll just have to see if it continues when my real life resumes with returning to work a little later this month. In the meantime, boy am I relishing my play time in my work room! Thanks again for the blog candy opportunity.ReplyCancel

    Happy New Year Becca (and everyone else)!

    I have a crafting goal for this year, which I set after much thought and consideration. I would like to make a larger effort to make my card making a small business. I’d like to start up a blog and a corresponding site where I can sell my creations via PayPal.
    I know this will take a lot of focus and determination, both of which I have to admit waver a lot depending on the day and how well my MS is behaving (or misbehaving lol).
    So many others have gone before me, which is both daunting and inspiring all at once. You are one of my blogger inspirations and I thank you for the time and commitment I know you put into doing all you do.

    Thanks for the chance to win – I LOVE Spellbinders and I don’t own any of the Grand Nestabilities. Very exciting just to daydream, isn’t it?ReplyCancel

  • Evette K. CiampoJanuary 3, 2012 - 3:18 pm

    So glad u asked Becca. Finally I have shelves in my craft room so my goal for this year is to arrange the craft room so I can have my friends over to play and to have as arranged place for me to create in. A big job ahead but I love all my supplies. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome collection. And boy do I love spellbinders dies!!!! evette God bless.ReplyCancel

I was blown away by what you did with them.I always admired all your card creations,you always think outside the box, you are so talented. (You remind me of Sue Wilson of paticraft here in the UK)

    My goal for 2012 is to have good health, in order to be able to create, share through my blog, sell and donate for my charity!

  • tanja souterJanuary 3, 2012 - 5:12 pm

    A goal of mine (not a crafting one) would be to ask my kids (2 teenagers and a 9 year old) to help around the house more. We all pitched in to dismantle the Christmas tree and it only took 10 mins or so. It would have taken me around an hour to do it all on my own! It can be much easier to do a lot of these things myself but it is better for everyone if I get the children to help.ReplyCancel

    January 4th 2012
    5 days and 5 rings, a goal for each . . . . so here goes for my day 4 response to Becca’s Candy blog. For my fourth Gold Ring ushering in the New Year with a Goal to use my card making and scrapbooking as a way of growing and building upon the relationship I have with my sister. Clare lives across the other side of the world and shares a passion for this creative outlet. It would mean I would contact her far more frequently than I do and this is something we both have agreed to work on – sharing examples of cards we have made would provide the ideal framework. Thanks again Becca for providing this inspiration.

  • DWDJanuary 4, 2012 - 1:57 am

    Goal #4…I would love to be able to make cards like yours. When I started buying Nesties, I picked shapes to give me variety. The shapes aren’t close enough to mix & match like you do. I think I need to re-plan and go back to the beginning and fill in some gaps. Anybody know where to find cheap deals on Spellbinders??? I think I may go broke filling in my gaps. LOLReplyCancel

    It’s getting close to choosing a blog candy winner … My goal this year is to become more organized, not only in my crafting and card-making world, but in every aspect of my life. I tend to leave things for “later” and that could be a week or two, or just before company is to arrive or the cards NEEDS to get in the mail. I’m very much a procrastinator. Today my priority is to put away everything that is sitting on my bedroom and computer room floor that I received for Christmas and to take down all my Christmas decorations.ReplyCancel

    Another of my craft goals is to learn more about my red Sizzix machine. I have several alphabet die sets and love them. What I would like to know is whether the machine is compatible with the new, thin dies that are paired with stamps. My machine is the one with a pull-down handle and a magnetic adapter plate.ReplyCancel

    One of my goals this year is to try using more layers with pop dots to my cards. They seem to add not only demention but draw your attention to the central point of cards. DianneReplyCancel

  • PJJanuary 4, 2012 - 5:07 pm

    Another goal I have is to use stitching more in my card designs. Sewing and quilting came to be in my crafting long before card making… Not sure why I don’t stitch more on my cards… I hope to remedy that this year. I always admire it when I see it on cards.ReplyCancel

    Today, my resolution would be to try making clean and simple cards more often! Sometimes, less is more!ReplyCancel

    One goal that I have this year is to use the stamps I already own. I’ve only been stamping for about 3 years, but I have bought SO MANY stamps that I have never used. So, this year I want to go through my stamps and try to use as many of them as I can to make as any cards as I possibly can.ReplyCancel

For my fifth Gold Ring ushering in the New Year with a Goal to make myself find the time to do more of what I enjoy – like my card making, even if it’s just 20 minutes each day (and that includes organising my craft bits and bobs too!).

You cards and projects are just gorgous!!! Love your name of course, due to the fact, my daughter’s name is Bekka also. Ok crafting resolution for the year. All UFO’s finished first. Then start on the notebook of projects I have collected and create until I need craft rehap. I am honestly probably already there, dear. My other goal for the year is to understand “My God” and have him closer to my heart. So far the year has started off to a good start. Hope yours is joyous so far…ReplyCancel

    Also, I made a number of gifts for Christmas this year – lots of jewelry, knitted scarf, knitted shrug, fabric book. I would like to do more of that for next year as well, so I need to get an early start.ReplyCancel

  • NikiJanuary 5, 2012 - 9:49 am

    Another crafting goal for this year is to use what I have. There are so many things in my stash–stamps, paper, embellishments–that I could craft for years and not use them all up. I need to look hard at those items before I run out and buy more stuff. Same goes with my yarn stash, I need to knit up some of the fiber on hand. I have lots of projects in mind, and supplies to do them, so I certainly don’t need more.

    That is, until I see the latest and greatest new thing!

    I really enjoy your blog, thanks so much for sharing your considerable talent with us.ReplyCancel

  • sandiJanuary 5, 2012 - 9:51 am

    I am trying not to acquire more “things” unless it is toward the crafts that I am zeroing down on. If I have items that I do not use, someone else surely is able to use it in a crafty way.

    A goal for this year is to try as many of the techniques that I’ve read about as possible. I love learning about new techniques. I’m constantly reading on the Internet to learn all I can about papercrafting and watching videos about techniques when possible. The only problem is that I don’t follow through and try all the techniques that I read about even though I think they are wonderful and would make my cards more interesting. So, hopefully this will be the year of “techniques” for me.ReplyCancel

  • ShirleyJanuary 5, 2012 - 10:36 am

    Becca, after reading a lot of comments, it seems we crafters have a lot in common with too much of a good thing. I’ve really been working hard to use the things I have in creating my cards. Have stayed away from stores because the temptations are too great there. Those discount coupons are definitely alluring, but I’ve realized that I don’t need to have a stamp store in my home. This post has been so good for me as I read that I’m not alone in this craft with our over abundance of supplies. Hopefully, I will keep to my goals this year.

    It’s so generous of you, Becca, to offer such wonderful blog candy!

    We have been putting off getting our 5th-wheel trailer back in shape after the wind blew the awning off, and we developed a small leak in the toilet plumbing. Hubby has had both his shoulders surgically repaired, so we haven’t been able to go anywhere in it this year, so that’s something we’d like to take care of this year. In order to do that, though, we are both trying to get in better physical condition, since we’re in our mid-50’s.

    Well Becca I am back again with my fifth and last goal for this year.
    These are my goal comments to you so far:-
    1. Peace -Inner peace to find my crafting mojo again.
    2. Patience -To be patient with myself when my cards etc don’t quite turn out the way they should.
    3. Time -Make time to craft and to relax
    4. Organisation – To finish organising my new craftroom so I have easy access to everything.
    And now for todays. The final one is:-
    5. Charity -This year I want to make cards to sell for Charity and therefore, I must find the right Charity. I am thinking maybe the local animal shelter, I will have to look into it.
    Well thats it I believe. I have struggled to get my comments to submit on two days, but I think they got through in the end. I hope so.
    Thank you again for this little challenge, it has actually helped me to focus on the important things that I need to do as I begin this new year.

I have several important goals this year mostly centered around using my cards to give back and raise money for cancer research. In preparing to do this I have been working diligently to completely organize my craft room by color. It takes lots of time but it is coming along slowly but surely. I try to do a little each day during times when my husband doesn’t need me as much – ie: when he is asleep. I am finding that I can make cards much faster when all of my embellishments are in color order.ReplyCancel

    Well, this is the last comment from me! I would love to find a class that teaches different techniques, folding, etc. I have the basics down but I would really like to expand my creativity! I also do counted cross-stitch and have several projects “in the beginning stages”! Those will be completed this year, as well! Now that I have put all this down on your site, and confessed it to hundreds of people, I better make sure I follow through! Thanks for the opportunity to win some really cool blog candy, Becca. Hope you are feeling better and getting resolutions! Hugs, MagiReplyCancel

    Hello Becca
    You Go Girl!!
    I love all of your cards even when they are not my style because it gets me thinking beyond what I usually create.
    Keep doing what you are doing, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!!

    Hi Becca
    I enjoy your site so much. I have recommended it to several of my sister card makers. I love the fact that you always find ways to use your supplies in different ways. I also love to watch your video tutorials. What I appreciate the most is that you take the time to tell us what you are using and where we can purchase these items.
    The best to you for 2012
