I know I promised a post, but I’ve been parked in front of the TV all day preoccupied with the election.  Big hugs to all my American friends – it’s been a long haul to get to this day.  No hints as to who I’m for, I’m simply so proud to be an American, first and foremost.  Thanks to all of my foreign friends who have lifted us up and supported us as neighbors.  No matter who you vote for, today is a historical day for our country.   If you look at my Amazing Quotes, the daily quote is one that caught my attention and captures the anticipation that everybody feels.  God Bless America and God Bless us all!!

Might you all remember this card HERE?  It’s featured on the SCS Technique Challenge this week.  I hope you’ll try to make one this week.  It’s one of the easiest techniques I’ve shown.  I promise once I’ve cleared the election, I’ll be back to creating. 

Don’t forget about the Blog Candy that I’ll be pulling a winner for tomorrow morning, 11/5/08.  You can add your comments to THIS POST if you want to be eligible.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’ll continue to visit with me.

    Love all the new ideas for the Cuttlebug embossing. I’m thinking ahead to Valentine’s day…I may use the circle cut with the corner punch for my cards with a sparkly red heart in the center.ReplyCancel

    No matter who wins this election, Our God is Sovereign. Praise to His Holy name. I too am proud to be an American.

    This is an elegant card. Such soft colors, wonderful layout. I have not tried this technique yet.ReplyCancel

  • AnneNovember 4, 2008 - 11:31 pm

    Some things are well worth waiting for, and with a historic election such as this one, it’s no wonder you and I’m sure many others can not concentrate to make a card!

    I am Australian, and of a rather ‘mature age’, and earlier this year I graduated from University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in History. The last 4 semesters I took American history, and I became ‘hooked’. All year I watched your election lead-up with immense interest, and today when I left work I couldn’t wait to turn on the car radio. Within minutes I had the news I had waited for – “Yes! Yes! Yes!” I shouted as I drove along. (I had concentrated on African American issues throughout the courses – my social conscience was born in your 60s civil rights movements ). A huge CONGRATULATIONS to you all.
    Just recently I discovered your blog, Becca, and yours is one of three I check every day. Your talent is incredible, and SO inspiring. Many thanks. Also congratulations on your very well deserved ‘appointments’ this week.

    Jennifer.ReplyCancel

  • DealbaidaNovember 5, 2008 - 4:35 am

    In the words of the song: “Oh, what a beautiful morning!”. I am so thankful the power of television enabled me to share history in the making with you throughout this last night: CONGRATULATIONS to you all.

    God Bless America.

  • MichelleNovember 5, 2008 - 10:23 am

    That card is ‘amazing’, as is your God-given talent. I can understand your excitement at the results of the election to the highest office in your nation. Bless you, and your fellow Americans, and I hope the next four years bring you peace and calm, regardless of who wins. You are all winners to be living in freedom.ReplyCancel

  • Janet CastleNovember 5, 2008 - 12:43 pm

    I will certainly try your technique (nestie circle with EK punch) as I am in the midst of trying to make a leaf medallion…thanks for the solution to my idea!

Well I told you I’d be back if I had another over the top, still can’t believe it, pinching myself, is this a dream kind of thing to tell you.  He he he, well I do!   I woke up this morning to a message that I was Featured Stamper this week over at Splitcoaststampers.  Oh my word, this is the cherry on top of this week.   I planned to have a post today, but with this pleasant surprise at hand, I’ve spent some time out in the forums leaving comments for the wonderful folks that have posted cards.  I hope to be back on Monday with something to show. 

In the meantime, don’t forget to leave a comment on the post  HERE for the Spellbinders Blog Candy celebrating my new adventure on the Spellbinders Blogging Team along with another new addition Keri Lee Sereika.  Don’t forget to visit Keri and leave a post HERE for the Spellbinders Blog Candy she is offering too!!

You all have blessed me so and I’m grateful for all that pass through my blog!!  The stamping community is brimming full of caring, generous, kindhearted people, a community I’m so happy to be a part of.  I hope you all know that I am so very thankful!!
