Good morning friends. I’m really kind of tickled to show you my next project that’s going in the mail today. We’re going through a family trial that is begging discouragement but I’m glad to report that we’ve aligned ourselves with the right soldiers where hope and faith prevail. I’m helping my daughter, a strong and resilient young woman, who is steadfast in faith and has a determination that has taught me much the last several months. We text and talk daily to keep the encouragement floating above our heads so I wanted to send on a framed saying that she can put on her desk to remind her that she is not alone. I made her framed art with this When You Get to the End saying from Quietfire Design several years ago that is proudly displayed on her wall, but I wanted this to be close at hand. To me it’s like pulling a tool out of my tool box – so appropriate for the occasion and it will be sure to lift her up.
The die template I’m using today is Spellbinders 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace, embellished with the flourish from Spellbinders Outrageous Butterfly. Below I‘m showing you the back of the card. It was constructed by cutting two of the large dies and scoring the backside of one die so that it will create a hinge for the card to open :-)
| CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED |

Becca, Becca, Becca. You out did yourself with this amazing frame! I love it and the saying. I needed some inspiration today. I just lost one of my dearest friends and have felt quite unsettled and lost. Seeing this gave me inspiration to make some frames for his family to cherish his memory. Thank you Becca. God bless you

Dear Becca,
I am from Scotland but have lived in England for many years. Faith, however, knows no boundaries or borders. Was introduced to your work by Sue Wilson. As soon as I saw the Sentiments , I said, this lady knows The Lord!
I am not very good at blogging but so glad I found yours. May God richly bless you and your family.
Thank you for a lovely blog. May today’s project really prove a blessing to your daughter and many more besides.
Thank you,
Love Myra
Just beautiful. With faith you are not alone. God bless your family.

Wow, Wow, Wow, what a fantastic inspiration, I cannot wait for these dies to be released in the UK, God Bless
Good morning Becca,
What a beautiful card/frame you have made for us yet again today. I hope that these dies are going to find their way across to Scotland as this must be the most beautiful of all that has been made to date. I just love this die as it is so elegant and can’t fail to make any card that is made truly beautiful. Please don’t think i’m being rude or cheeky as you do make absolutely wonderful inspirational pieces, but this die is in a league own. I think that even the beginner could make a beautiful card with this die, which gives all us normal ordinary people a glimpse of hope at turning out a presentable piece at the end of the process.
Love and crafty hugs

Morning Becca, A stunning card, your Daughter will love it, and the sentiment is so touching, I’m loving the new 5 x 7 die, so pretty.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good morning Becca
Such a stunning frame I do so hope it will not be long before this die finds it’s way to the UK. I do so love the sentiment I am sure your daughter will love this.
I do so believe that there is a reason for everything, although we may not get to know that reason, this has got me through some very difficult times in the past I hope it will help you.
With love and God Bless

Hi Becca. Simply gorgeous! Take care.
Stunning card!!! Plus I really wanted to see this die. Thank you for showing it. And I also know a different quote by Fernando Sabino “Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay then it’s not the end”
