Hello there!!  I do have a card but first I have a quote to share.  I normally put them up in the revolving quotes box on my blog, and I don’t think this one has made it out of my quote journal yet.  I’m inspired by this and I hope you are too.  To me it means, you never know what good things are around the corner…   

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.  (E.M. Forester)

So on to my card.  Every month a member of the  Magnolia-licous DT hosts a sketch challenge, and this month I developed the sketch.  I hope you’ll play along by linking your entry at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog.  Yep, there are prizes involved.  Here is the sketch.

 

I turned mine so that I could run ribbon vertically instead of horizontally.  Then I used this sweet little flower girl called Romantic Tilda which you can order or waitlist at Magnolia-licious.  I colored her with Copic Markers and dug into my stash of Basic Grey Wisteria for all the sweet lavender (a color I find hard to use).  It’s so muted in this case that it’s easy to match it with other papers in the stack.  I edged the corner pieces with the scallop from Spellbinders™ Scalloped Edged Frame and embellished one of the corners with the companion pieces from the Spellbinders™ Renaissance Hearts Pendant.  I used one of my many rub-ons with the Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags die for the sentiment along the bottom.

 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia-licious – Romantic Tilda
Paper: Basic Grey – Wisteria, GP White Cardstock
Ink:  Memento – Tuxedo Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Scalloped Edged Frame, Spellbinders™ Renaissance Hearts Pendant, Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags, Ribbon, Pearls, Embellished Straight Pins

 
See you soon!!

    I just love the quote.. Life sometimes has events which take a sudden or unexpected turn… and eventually turn out for the best. Thanks so much for sharing it. The card is lovely and I’m crazy about the Renaissance Hearts pendant detail. The Tilda is so sweet. Hugs from Michigan!ReplyCancel

    The quote is very thought provoking. Many times we are disappointed because things in life don’t turn out as “we” planned only to find the journey we were forced to take was exactly what we needed.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca!

    The blue you used around Tilda really makes her pop. I love it and I love the sketch. One I am going to do.
    your colouring is beautiful and that ribbon is such a pretty colour.
    The quote is very good. How true.

  • Susan GMay 6, 2010 - 12:01 am

    the card is lovely (I still do not own of these darlings)

    but I love the quote…
    I had this great plan for the rest of our lives as a family in the late 90’s:
    Hubby is 19 years older than I, I knew eventually he would need to retire, and I would have to find a way to make up for his missing salary. I went back to college, got my degree in health care (BS in Diagnostic imaging) My specialty is MRI…it took me 1.5 years after graduating to find a F/T MRI position, most places wanted you to have experience (to me all the hours of clinicals–should count for some experience) I hate when jobs say that, how are you supposed to get the experience if you are never hired to get any? anyway A hospital in Philadelphia said they had now issue hiring me. (I went to college in Philly as well) This was a 2 hour commute (during commuter hours) I told myself my foot is in the door, and I would look for something closer to home, when I had a year under my belt. Well, God answered my prayers, at pretty much the exact year mark( 30 days short) I found the perfect job for me, you had to go to both campuses of the Hospital the one was only 30 minutes away, the other was more like 45-50. but it was also in the same area my husband worked. (this was 2003) (did I say hubby had 2 heart attacks 5 days apart and double bypass surgery in 2001–while I was only working per diem xray) so this was such an answered prayer. Well…best laid plans…in 2005 I was severely injured on the job, and was disabled. My poor husband still has to work. He is 69 in not the best health (diabetes with complications—including heart disease, and diabetic retinopathy…so his vision is going) I am now depressed due to the “LOSS” of my life, job, career…the doctors all say this is normal, and just try to move past it, and not dwell on what was supposed to be…but that is easier said than done, when it affects others. The hubby can not retire til we are out from under this house and mortgage.

    I love your quote, and I am going to copy it and print it out, and hang it somewhere I can see it every day, to try to give me hope, that God has another plan for me and us.

    Thanks, SusanReplyCancel

So I have something new to show you.  I’m snickering just a little bit like a mischevious little girl.  I sneaked this out on you last month just so I could see who would catch it.  Sure enough, some of you had your eyes peeled and said “Wait a minute! How do you do that double bow.”   Geez Louise – I can’t get anything past you guys.  So all right – this is my new favorite bow.  It’s a little bit fussy and not as easy as a regular bow but let’s face it, if you can tie a regular bow, you just have to do this twice.  Come on now – none of this “I can’t tie a bow stuff”.  Take a deep breath and let’s get started.  By the way, so many have emailed me to ask if I had a tutorial on how to make bows.  Well, in fact I have several.  I put a new tab at the top of my blog called Becca Bows . . . enjoy.   Just a word of warning . . . on this video I’m not on caffeine, I have to talk fast to get everything in under 10 minutes, lol!

  • HeatherMay 4, 2010 - 10:17 am

    Thanks for the tute, Becca! I’ve been making these on my Christmas gifts for a few years now. Hadn’t seen them anywhere else. I always conserve my ribbons annually and am often left with these long tails, so I started making the double (and triple – even 4 loops!) when I had the long pieces and didn’t want to cut the ribbon. I find it works best with wired ribbon, but that is just my preference.
    They make such a luscious bow – and really topper for a wonderful gift!ReplyCancel

I have recently been put in charge of finding a tip for each Thursday and I would love to show off some of your different tips. If there is a problem with my doing this please let me know and I won’t do any more.ReplyCancel

Hello there!!!  Many of you asked that I share how to make the ID Tag Box and I promised I would.  Of course it has many, many uses and I have a project planned again next week with the box.  Please join me in a short video that shows how to make this quick and simple box.  If you make one, I hope you’ll link to my Becca Bit or my original post HERE.  Betcha’ can’t make just one!!

You are simply amazing!!  See you soon!

ETA:  Arrgh, after Youtube compressed my video I noticed that it obsured some of the typing in the last frame . . . in case you cannot see it here are the numbers.  I may reupload later tonight.

Score your lines starting at left
with short side at top:
1″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 5″

Score your lines starting at left
with long side at top:
4 1/2″, 5″, 9 1/2″, 10″

    Becca, will you be making an adobe file template as you often times do as well? It helps to have the pattern available to print. If possible, that would be great! Beautiful box by-the-way! Can’t wait to make it myself!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Love your box. Plan to make one, two or maybe more! I do have a question, where did you purchase your stylus (metal paper scorer). I have been looking all over for a meta one.

    Thanks,ReplyCancel

    Thanks once again, Becca, for an easy-to-understand tutorial and for sharing it with your blog readers. You can’t begin to imagine how inspirational your blog and your talents are to such a vast number of crafters. I’m sure I speak for many others that we anxiously wait to see what you create and share next…thanks.ReplyCancel

  • AnneMay 3, 2010 - 5:38 am

    Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial with us :o)

    I love the way you take a basic shape and then create something so beautiful with punches or dies by thinking ‘outside the box’ – quite literally in this case!

    Off to make a box now….

    Hope your knee is completely better now.

    Hugs

    Very pretty little box! Your tutorial was very clear & easy to follow. Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • Shirley LeeMay 3, 2010 - 10:05 am

    Thanks for the tutorial. It looks so easy! Where did you get that scoring tool you used (the long white one)? It looked like it made a better score than the tool that came with the Score Pal. Have a great week!

    Thanks for restating the dimensions. Most of all, Becca, thanks for all your time spent on helping us “OUT HERE” get our craftiness flowing! If others are like me, we need the outlet of some crafting goodness for ourselves AND to share! (Do you have any links to other mini-bk projects to share?) Thanks for all and have a VERY blessed week!ReplyCancel
