Okay, here is my sad story . . . I lost my camera with my prized memory card in Orlando at CHA. You know me, I was so star struck that someone could have taken my wallet out my hand and I probably wouldn’t have missed it. The good news is that they remembered my name and it’s coming back to me. In the meantime, I’m reaching back into my stash of things that I haven’t shown you yet. I hope you like this one it’s actually displayed in my craft room.
Using a 12 x 12 frame that was purchased as unfinished wood, I spray painted it ivory and prepped it by backing with a piece of design paper. From my stash came a stamp set that I picked up from Stamp Camp at a stamping convention. It has 26 uplifting sayings about children, I stamped each with the corresponding letter (Stampendous) then cut each combo out using Spellbinders Labels 4.
I have to admit that this set of stamps languished in my stash for many years and now I have a quick to make gift to add to my new baby projects repertoire. I also dolled up the frame with one of my Primas I’ve horded for a special occasion and a die cut border. (Stamp Camp advertises a 5 to 6 week fulfillment time on their orders so I recommend being very patient or grabbing this at a local stamp show.) I love these sayings, children are such a treasure.

At least your camera will be returned to you. It could ahve been worse.
Love the frame. What a beautiful gift idea.
Oh, how lucky you are that someone honest is returning your camera! Very rare in this day when people seem to think “finders keepers” is the first rule! Glad to hear it’s on its way back to you.
Love the framed artwork you haved shared with us today! The saying for each letter are just fantastic! What a great reminder that everything a child does is because he or she is a child and should be treasured in its own way! Love it!!
PRACHTIG!!!!!!!!!

Hi Becca, I’m SO sorry about your camera, but how lucky that it’s coming back to you! Speaking of “starstruck”… My friends Denise and Sue and I had a very quick “hello” with you at CHA on Friday. It was so nice to meet you in person, I’ve admired your work for a long time and wanted to say how sweet and gracious you are in person! You said we should comment on your blog when we got home, so here I am! I had a great time in Florida and have lots of new inspiration. I can’t wait to get started on some new projects! Also, I really love this piece about Children. Can you tell me who made the stamp set? I’d love to buy it for myself if it’s still available. Have a great day! :) Michelle
Incredible, Becca!
Becca, This is so amazing! How clever of you to create this project! I am already searching for these stamps.
Glad your camera is on a journey home to you. Can’t wait to see your photos.

Becca, isn’t it wonderful to discover that there are honest people in our world today! Glad your camera is on its way home. This framed project is so precious. Children have always been a great part of my life so each of these stamps touches my heart. Thanks.
I stick a clear address label on my case and one directly on my camera. It has saved me twice!
Becca,
This is absolutely adorable! Love it!

So glad you are getting your camera back! I almost lost mine at CHA too. I had the bag, but had set the camera down. I missed it almost immediately and went running back to where I was sitting. It was still there!!!
Wish I could have seen you at CHA, but I missed out. Your work is amazing and lovely. TFS
Oh Becca! So sorry about your camera…but this is just amazing! WOW! What a fantastic project!
Hello Becca, I have been a silent admirerer of your work for months now. I visit your site almost everyday to see what beautiful things you have created. I really like this children’s alphabet and was wondering if you would send me the entire alphabet of sayings. A very good friend of mine is having their first child in a few months and I would love to make one of these for them.
Thank you… Lori
Hello again… I just realized that this is a stamp set, not printed. I will go and try to find them on the Internet. I guess I just got so excited when I saw this that I didn’t read the recipe very closely.
Becca,
Your “sampler” is fabulous! Thanks so much for the inspiration – I love things like this!
Carla
I love this idea – and that stamp set – what a treasure!! love your creativity – without that it wouldn’t all come together so perfectly! Have fun at convention! Tracy in Michigan
Becca – sounds like you had a WONDERFUL time. Isn’t it great that there are wonderful people around that return things when found. I’m very glad you’re camera is on it’s way back. I love this project. What a fantastic new baby gift!
Hi Becca So glad you are getting your camera back. I could not live without mine!! I simply adore this piece of art work – in fact I love it so much I would like to recreate it for my daughter and I also have a niece who is about to have a baby that I would like to make one for . I went on the Stamp Camp website but I could not locate these stamps. Can you please let me know what the set is called so I can try and source it either from Stamp Camp or somewhere else I live in Australia so any ideas on where I might be able to purchase this set if not from Stamp Camp then from another distributor perhaps. I look forward to your reply. I think you work is amazing and I visit your site every chance I can. Thank you for sharing your God given talents with us all.

Without exception, when I open your blog to view a new creation, I make a spontaneous, involuntary and audible AAAHHHHH! This design and its sentiments are beautiful!!!

Very beautiful project. I just needed a gift for my cousin’s baby shower. I wish I would have had this idea. Your blog is so inspiring. I will be keeping this idea in the back of my head because I don’t think my cousin is done having babies (unless this one happens to be a boy then she says she is done!!)
Angela
Hi Becca,
So glad you are getting your camera back. I was at CHA on Friday, sorry I didn’t get to see you.
This is a beautiful project. I might have to try this idea. My granddaughter has a new baby girl.
glad to hear your sad story has a happy ending to it! Stinkin’ cute baby gift – TFS!
WOW – Becca – this is gorgeous!!! I love this idea!!! Hugs ~S~
Good evening, Becca. This is a beautiful wall hanging, beautifully made. I just love that die cut border.
Hi Becca,
Your work is so inspiring. I love what you have done here with the alphabet. Just beautiful as usual.
So glad you are getting your camera back. Gosh! where would we be without them. Thank God for honest people.
Becca,
I just wanted to say I, too have been visiting your site almost daily and LOVE your work. I will also be purchasing this stamp set. I have had the poem in print form for many years and have used it for teacher albums at the end of the year. This is an incredible project and I want to thank you for sharing it with us.
Congrats on the return of your camera.
OMGoodness Becca I can’t believe you lost your camera, at least you’re getting it back. You sound like me, I almost lost my at Stone Mountain a couple of months ago. With mine they remembered the little boy whose pics were on the camera. I love what you made, it’s perfect for a first baby shower.
I too visit your blog daily and love your cards and projects. I loved this one so much I went straight to Stamp Camp and ordered this set.
I got them last night and immediately started planning my project – my 2nd grandchild is coming in February and this will be his or her’s birth announcement.
Thanks for all of your inspiration!
This is beautiful, I’ve always fancied doing an altered art of some sort featuring an alphabet – You have inspired me !! Off to browse your blog now x
