Well, I’m up over the 200,000 mark so that means it’s Time for Blog Candy!   As you may guess, I always like to put a little twist on it to make it fun.  Now don’t worry it’s nothing too terribly hard.  You might have a couple of additional mouse clicks to make, but that’s it.   The blog candy is two sets of Inque Boutique stamps, two packages of Karen Foster Jumbo Eyelets, and one package of embellies from K&Co.

This Blog Candy is called “Sharing the Comment Wealth Blog Candy”.

In order to qualify here’s what you need to do:

1.  Before you post here on this post, go back through any of the comments I have on any of the posts on my blog.

2.  Search for a comment that has a name link that is clickable, in other words their name is underlined or their name will let you click through to their blog site.

3.  Pick one of those comments and preferrably someone you don’t know and have never left a comment for before – not your own and not a webstore or retail entity.

4.  You guessed it!!!  Leave a comment, but be sure to say:  “Becca at AmazingPaperGrace.com is Sharing the Comment Wealth and I picked you”  then leave them some kind words on their post.

5.  Then come back and leave a comment on the Blog Candy post telling me who you Shared the Comment Wealth with.

I’m asking everyone to enter only one time.  Comments will be closed on Wednesday, September 17th at 9:00am CST and winner will be selected by random number generator shortly thereafter.  The winners entry has to be verifiable, in other words, I have to know the blog you went out and left a comment on and the comment has to be date stamped on the blog between now and  Wednesday, September 17th at 9:00am CST.

My readers are fantastic!!  Thank you for helping to give back to those who always, always have a kind word to say here.

Good Luck!!

    Becca,

    What a fun (and caring) way to do blog candy! I scrolled down to your Organza Damask Bag and Card Ensemble (which is gorgeous!) and enjoying reading the comments of others who liked the set as much as I did! Then I had fun going to all of their blog sites and discovered some new and talented folks out there!

    I left a message with Cindy Lawrence because once I started looking – I couldn’t stop! She does lovely work!

    Thank you again for all the beautiful work that YOU share with us Becca. Congratulations on over 200,000 hits!

    Blessings on your day,

    Hi Becca,

    I left my comment on Angi’s – Making Mayhem.blogspot.com

    So is that 200,000 card designs, 200,000 visitors, 200,000 subscribers?

    My first thought was designs but even at 2 or 3 a day that would still be a lot of years, and visitors or subscribers I would totally believe. After all whenever someone asks me where to find elegant and spiritual designs your blog pops to the top.

    God is surely blessing your work. When ever my subscription is delivered I check the post and instantly I feel wonderful. And amazement generally follows :). You are a wonderfully talented artist, writer, video blogger and daughter of God. Thanks for lifting spirits and inspiring lots of sleepless nights – LoL!
    I find some of the best blogs by trolling your comments and your own blog list. Thanks for encouraging us all and reminding us to give back!

    Hi Becca, I am so enjoying all of the blog’s you’ve introduced me to. Thank you. I visited SmilynStef at http://ingeniousinkling.typepad.com/ingenious_inkling/ and absolutely loved her blog. I visited your post about “It Is The Journey That Matters” because this is what I’ve tried to instill in my children. Life IS about the journey. I useto live my life thinking “as soon as this or that is done or I reach this goal … then I can relax and start living.” I learned this way of thinking from my mother, my oldest son learned it from me, then my mother died way too soon and I was devastated, she never really got to live and enjoy life. I finally realized that “things” are never done and new goals and “stuff” keep popping up. It took me awhile but I’ve worked hard to change that way of thinking. It’s tuff for me and my oldest as “old habits are hard to change”. My two youngest have no problem as they were very young when I started changing and trying to teach them. Thanks again, gReplyCancel

    Here’s what I said on Lori Craig’s blog:
    Becca has such exquisite designs and it seems that she oftentimes gets her inspiration from you. What a joy to find two sites that offer such beautiful inspiration for the cards I so enjoy making for others.

    I’ve never blogged before so hope I did this right. Congratulations on 200,000 visits. I’ve enjoyed visiting many times!

I’ve signed up for her blog updates now and posted that I found out about her blog through your Amazing Paper Grace blogs. I now see that you have referenced her many times. What a wonderful way to enjoy stamping and scriptures all in one!

    Because of your beautiful cards (which I just recently found, due to someone leaving a comment about your blog on Jennifer Maguire’s blog), today I became the proud owner of a Cuddlebug. I got it 1/2 off at my mom’s local craft store and I am so excited. You inspire me so many ways.

    This was fun to do. I posted at Kathryn H.’s blog. What a great way to see more wonderful ideas Her website is http://ilovethemmoreeveryday.blogspot.com/ReplyCancel

 

I’m looking forward to a wonderful family time this coming Thanksgiving and am looking forward to every opportunity to make it a truly memorable event.  Thinking ahead to dinner and the presentation that I want to spoil my family and guests with, I thought that perhaps this year I would create a program to sit at each place setting as well as place cards.  The program will tell the events in the order they occur, the Blessing (one of many) that will be given before dinner to bless the food, The Menu and then outline our Family Roundtable – the discussion we’ll be having in celebration of thankfulness we have for blessings received throughout the year.  For our Roundtable, each person takes a turn speaking about an event or something they are grateful for.

 

Once I delved into this project, I got really excited about the whole concept.  As I designed the pages for the program I discovered I could make them reusable – so now I can actually pull out each typed portion and replace it with a new panel if I want to use the program again.   Of course if we have guests they are welcome to take a program with them as a keepsake.  Doesn’t this project just scream scrapbook?  I can see after the event is over separating each of the pages and taking the place card and making them all part of several scrapbook pages reflecting on the good time had at Thanksgiving.

 

The background of each panel is done with the Flourishes Damask Background stamp – one of my very favorites if you haven’t noticed, and all printing is computer generated.


Supplies:
Stamps:  Flourishes Damask
Paper:  Bazzill
Ink:  Brilliance Pearlescent Beige
Accessories:  Nestabilities, Punch, Brads, Ribbon

I’ll be posting Blog Candy some time this weekend, so be sure to stop by!  Happy Friday!

    Good evening, Becca. Your Thanksgiving presentation is beautiful- to say the least- I think everyone else has used most of the adjectives that describe your work and your talent. So I shall just say Very Well Done and your family will be absolutely delighted with the sight that greets them at your Thanksgiving table.ReplyCancel

    One question, is that a punched medallion under the bowl, I could tell if it was part of the bowl or a reflection or something.

    Becca,

    Just when I think you couldn’t possibly come up with something more creative than the last project, you do it again! This is such an awesome idea. The colors and designs are gorgeous. I love the colors of Fall! Yes, it does scream “scrapbook”, which makes it even more awesome. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

    Hello –

    I actually came upon a very small number of these very pineapple punches and am selling them on my eBay and Etsy shops. I like to include images that demonstrate what can be done with the crafting tools and would love to post one of the images from this project. They are all gorgeous! Of course, I would include a link to your blog and credit.

    Let me know if that is all right with you.

    Cheers – happy crafting!

Today, out of respect, I wanted to take pause to remember the tragedy of 9-11, the lives that were affected and the nation that was changed.  Of course it is one of those events where I will never forget what I was doing on that morning and my children were old enough at the time to remember too and will have lasting memories.   The enormity of it all, the grief for the families and the anger…oh how we prayed.  I remember weeping so many times that week.  A friend sent me a poignant slide show through email this week that shows everything in detail again – people jumping, building collapsing, smoke and ruin.  Out of the rubble rose the pride of a nation and we were joined by sympathetic allies.  Join me (please, without political commentary) in remembering . . .

Because I wanted to get something worked up quickly to post tonight, I went with the layout from SC193 to plan the card.  It’s a tall card measuring 4.25 inches wide by 8 inches tall. 

Have a blessed day!  I have blog candy to announce perhaps tomorrow and please know that I’m working on projects to share with you soon.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Wordsworth
Paper:  Bazzill
Ink:  Colorbox – Scarlet and Blue with Clear EP
Accessories:  Nestabilities, white rub on words, White Satin Ribbon, white brads

    That’s a beautiful card, Becca. I have had a memorial post at the top of my blog all day, remembering the Americans, the British and people from other countries whose lives were lost or affected by the tragedy of 9/11, and how many nations were deeply impacted and will never be the same.. particularly the United States.

    Becca,

    Beautiful card Becca. September 11th is hard for me because I want to be happy as it is my husband and I wedding anniversary. Fifteen years ago, September 11, 1993. We both feel guilty about celebrating, so we usually celebrate on a different day. I guess that our anniversary is forever tarnished with that tragedy. It is a painful reminder to really appreciate all of the blessings that God has given us, those directly ewffected by the tragedy, aren’t so fortunate. God bless the USA, and God Bless you Becca.

    Hugs, Lisa

    Your card is a beautiful way to remember. I, like everyone else, will always remember that day, not only for the horrors but because my husband was on a plane heading to Los Angeles when the planes hit the Towers. We had no idea where he was for several hours, and I never want to forget how I felt, especially when he landed and called to tell me he was safe. A life changing day.ReplyCancel
