. . . and I’m scared to death! Yep, that’s right. Well, remember in the beginning of the year when I adopted the word ‘brave’ for my hopes and plans this year, well – this is brave. Before I get to Day of Giving Friday, I want to share the dates and times I’ll be presenting on Create and Craft TV. So yes, I’ll be in the UK demonstrating my new dies along with a trusty companion and long time Spellbinders Ambassador – Christine Emberson. Together we will show you two styles of working with my new collection and a unique way to polish it all off. Let’s celebrate with a wee giveaway on my blog on Monday, okay?
In the mean time, favorite peeps, today is Day of Giving Friday and I whipped up a little card to giveaway to one of my lovely readers. Simply leave a comment and I’ll randomly pick a name. Today I’m showing a ‘friend’ card inspired by this lovely sentiment that I grabbed off of Ebay. Yes, I could recognize the style of stamps as PSX that is no longer in business but was years before their time in classic, professional, romantic stamps. I have quite the collection and I’m tickled to add this one. I thought it would fit famously with Spellbinders Labels 54 Decorative Elements and I layered it onto a hinged filigree card base made using Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence.
About Day of Giving Friday

Beautiful card! The best trip I ever took was to Italy! Loved it! Hugs xxx
Oh Becca, you have certainly made my day complete with this disclosure, I so look forward to seeing you on C&C with the new spellbinder dies and with Christine Emberson, I will be going to my craft club in the morning and back in time to make a cup of tea and watch the show, yipee so looking forward to it. Oh and by the way this is a super duper card, I wonder if someone in the UK will be lucky enough to win it, wish it was me, good luck everyone.
PS don’t be too nervous, we are a great crowd in the UK and will cheer you on all the way.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Becca – your work is always so beautiful! Good luck over in the UK!!
The best trip I ever took was to Puerto Rico. Loved the beaches and the warm weather! Congratulations, Becca, on all you have accomplished! Keep steppin’ out there in faith!
I have waited years for this! I am so looking forward to seeing you on C&C x
As always, gorgeous card, so feminine, just lovely.
The best trip I ever took was to Disneyland for the first time right after I got married, never been to the states, or Disneyland, first time meeting the in-laws, lots of firsts for me.
Beautiful card and wonderful sentiment. Best trip was to Lake Erie with best friends and their family – gorgeous and actually relaxing.
Oooh! So excited for you and sending prayers and hugs. Have a safe trip and try to sleep on the plane if you suffer from jet lag as we are several hours behind and you will be landing early in the morning – unless you are on a day flight to the UK. But you will ace the shows! Your presentation style is soooo good!
Golly – best trip…. My favourite was probably driving through Switzerland on the way to Venice – mountains, waterfalls, trees and cabins. We stayed overnight in a hotel on the shores of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) and our room had 3 balconies with huge windows. We arrived in late May in the early evening, opened all the windows and suddenly there were Church bells ringing across the lake and an eagle hung in the air over the water. A truly magical moment.
Hugs

Beautiful card – I love the gold paper. It just makes the card pop. Have fun in the UK. try their Twinings vanilla teabags. You will be just great on TV. You have someone with you so together you can make it work. My best trip was to France. Paris was a delight and the people were very helpful to us.
Have a safe trip.
Wow really are stepping out of your comfort zone but I know you will be fabulous. Relax and enjoy this new experience.
Best vacation I ever took was a two week trip to Alaska. Rented a car and did one week on land then got onto a Princess Cruise for the next week. It was so wonderful and there are no words to describe the scenery! Wish to go again some day. By the way the card is lovely as always.
So thrilled for this new adventure for you, Becca! I love Great Britain…One of my favorite travel places. Saying a prayer for a safe, successful journey and presentation for you!!!
Hi Becca,
I am so glad you are coming over to the UK. Wrap up warm as it is getting cold over here.
I love all your collections so far and can’t wait to see the new one.
Have a safe trip.
God Bless
Maria
Hi Becca. Wow so looking forward to seeing you on Create and Craft.May l wish you a safe journey, a warm welcome to the U.K. I hope you enjoy all the shows. Smiles. Jan.x
Oh sweet Becca, such a question, well, My best trip so far, Good Lord I do there’s more to come,….was by cruise ship 14 days, seeing all the many island countries in the whole of the Caribbean , such beauty in each culture , and the people , oh so cheerful and pleasant….But I would luv to go visit the British Isles, by cruise ship tho, not plane, ( I have a Blood Clotting disorder which make me more subject to, more Blood clots…..
AND i’LL BE WATCHING YOU OVER ON CREATE AND CRAFT…..SO, Bloom where you are Planted, and SHINE….
so the best trip I ever took was the year long honeymoon with my dh in korea while he was stationed there. I was on my own because it was a remote assignment for him. I went and found a job and he was moved 3 times and I met many wonderful people and 1 hour film developing had just become popular and while on a side trip I found a place that did it and it was the talk of our tour. I met a family that I ended up living with for about 5 months and traveled for about 2 months to a different place every weekend. I learned how to write the name of the town I lived in and could order wontons and coke to be delivered. wonderful memories. I took so many pictures. the young girl about 13 use to laugh when she would see what I took pictures of. they were everyday things to her but very different to me. the mother of the family could speak little englsh and I spoke even less Korean. the girl was amazed that her mother and I communicated so well. she would laugh and say we could communicate in three words more than she could with a whole paragraph.
gorgeous card today and thanks for making me rethink of that great time 35 years ago.
Congratulations. Be brave. You have great favor with you. My favorite trip our engagement trip to Hawaii given to me and my now husband of 4yrs. by my son. How blessed to be so loved
Once again a beautiful card. I get excited every time I get a email notification from feedblitz. Just can’t wait to open the email to see what beautiful card you created.
WOW Becca I will have to see if I can find them on the internet and watch them. I love your cards they are so inspirating.
The best trip I took was a 5 month journey from Brisbane Australia to Darwin then Darwin to Cairns back to Brisbane. 12000 kms in total. It was awesome.
Annamieke from the land down under.
Fantastic and elegant design and lovely sentiment
Another beautiful card. Love the gold. Will your show be shown in the US? If so, what network?
Beautiful card & words. Congratulations on your achievement. Wish I could watch you from miles across the oceans.
Becca, I am so excited for you and your TV debut. what a wonderful new adventure ! I love this card and the charming sentiment.
My favorite trip was to a wedding in St John !!
Oh, Becca, what WONDERFUL news!!! You were one of my very first blog finds many years ago, and was I blessed or what to find YOU!!! When you have successes like these, I feel SO excited for you because I feel like I’ve been along for some of your path…
I believe there’s NO ONE BETTER QUALIFIED to be appearing on Create and Craft, no one!!! Your beautiful style is a perfect fit for what I see as the British style, and those in Britain and beyond are going to LOVE YOU and will LOVE what you create and what you bring to them to buy!
Becca, this is God’s path for you, He chose for you to go there, and He will not let you down now. This is simply another turn in your path for something GREAT! He would never ask you to do anything that you and He could not accomplish together, and we KNOW that He can do anything! I understand your hesitation, but God will give you the words to say, and you will prepare as much as you can, and the rest will be left to Him to help you. I’m thrilled that Spellbinders has chosen you, you are a PERFECT FIT!!! I have lived in Britain–for a year while doing a graduate school course, then went back to the US to graduate school there, I loved my time in the UK! It seems they make HUGE cards over there, your cards will work well in whatever size you make. I love them, and am always amazed and intrigued by your ingenuity, your wonderful artistry, and your fantastic sense of style. You’ve got this, my friend!!! I cannot wait to watch you on Create and Craft!!! Just remember you have all of the words inside you that you will need!!! Nothing will be perfect on live TV, things happen and you will just go with the flow and you will do what you do best–create, and your love of what you do will be infectious–think of the wonder of introducing papercrafting and using a die-cutting and embossing machine to people who perhaps have never made a card. How neat is that!!!
I’ll be praying for you. I can’t even express how excited and thrilled I am for you, and I have COMPLETE CONFIDENCE that you have this, you and God are a team that can do anything!!!
Sorry for this long note! Sending prayers and hugs,
XX Joanne
My favorite trip of all time was the one my husband and I took for our 15th anniv. We went to a B&B in the Ohio Amish country. Life had been hectic and it was nice to get away just the two of us. It was a beautiful, snowy week (Our anniv. is 12/28) and our B&B was tucked away in a pine grove. Very romantic, peaceful, and restful. That was almost 17 years ago. We need to go again! Beautiful card! Your new adventure sounds exciting. You’ll do GREAT!!
Hi Becca….I’m so excited you’ll be on tv next week. No sure I can get the Create and Craft channel :( But very happy for you. This card is so elegant and beautiful. I am always taken by your soft creations in creme and gold….there’s just something about that combination. My favorite trip is always to Vegas. I love Vegas. Haven’t been in a few years now, but I would go by myself several times a year and loved it. Planning a trip there for next year….no problem with going solo. I really do have the best time with me, myself and I. Good luck Becca and can’t wait to see and get your new line of dies.
Hey Becca, GREAT BIG WOW! Really look forward to seeing you, and I know the UK will just love what you have for us. They already do! Hope you have a good journey and enjoy your stay. And……..Remember to pack your thermals! Thank goodness Create and Craft have finally found you!
Margaret
That is so amazing Becca, and I´ll definitely be watching Create and Craft these days, that´s for sure. I can´t wait to see your sweet face on the screen here, and know that you´ll be this close.
Todays card is also absolutely gorgeous, and I´m totally amazed by it, soooo gorgeous and beautiful as always hun.
And to your question about what´s my best trip ever, then it´s definitely my trip to the US 1½ year ago, where I was sooo lucky to visit 15 states and got to meet with soo many great online crafting friends through several years and also wonderful old friend in real life and some family I hadn´t seen for many years.
Can´t wait to see you on TV next week Becca, and don´t worry, it´ll go just fine, so please no worries, you can do anything with your great talent, I´m sure.
What a gorgeous card!! Congratulations! Wonderful and big news, I know everything is going to go smoothly.
My favorite trip was to Israel, visiting the Holy Land was an unforgettable and beautiful experience.
Congrats again!!
Looking forward to this Becca , to be honest i have not been viewing C&C for quite q while now ,but i will be viewing when you are on thats for sure. so see you soon, and dont worry you have all your friends rooting for you .
God bless
Elaine H X
Hello Becca
I can’t wait, so looking forward to seeing you,
Christine is so nice and will make you feel at home.
I was hoping it would be Create and Craft that you would be on, I am so chuffed to be able to watch you!
Love Marg
Oh, my dear Becca. I am so thrilled about this new venture for you. I can’t wait to watch each and every episode. You will be BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
As for the best trip I ever took….hmmm. You know I have lived all over the world. Ecuador, China, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea, and I’ve visited many foreign countries for vacation as well. But my favorite trip is still my trip in the autumn every year to Priest Lake in northern Idaho. It is my “restoring” trip, the place that just nourishes my soul.
I’ll be praying for you, Sweetie. You will be fantastic, I know it!!!!!
Hi Bekka! All the very best for your time in England! I know you will do so well!
Just be the beautiful you you are here in your posts and everyone will be so blessed and inspired! God has given you such a special gift of encouragement and helps! Enjoy using it for Him in this new way! Big huge blessings dear sister! Barbara McEldowney Auckland New Zealand
My favorite trip was my honeymoon! I had fantastic company!!!
You are so deserving of this. So very many people have been inspired by you – more than you even think! You will do great!
Just got back in October from my only bucket list trip – to see the Northern Lights. It was perfect viewing with a highly active sky. Went with my best friend and her 3 sisters and got to know each of them so much better.
Good luck on your trip!
Lovely card! Becca, just relax, be yourself and enjoy the experience. Viewers will love you just like we do.
Oh Becca,
How very special. I know you have many fans in the UK and this has to be the most exciting trip you will ever take. I would go with you if I could. That would be a fabulous trip. The best trip I ever took was the first time I went to Ohio to visit my sister who have moved there to be with her family. We have gone back every year since and we having a crafting vacation. I always take all my dies and embossing folders and we craft sometime all night!
I am so excited for you and can’t wait to see all of your new dies. Bet they are fabulous!!!!!
I hope I win this “friend” card today as I am one of your oldest (not in age, but maybe) but as a long time follower! So happy I found your blog, I so look forward to FRIDAYS!!
Good luck and God Bless, have a wonderful trip!!
Hugs

What exciting news Becca and the opportunity is just what you deserve after all your hard work. You are so talented and lovely but I will admit that I am jealous that you will be in the UK before you are here in the USA.
My favorite trip was a surprise trip to North Carolina to visit my little sister. There was no reason for it and no special occasion so we had all the time in the world to visit and enjoy each other. I simply had her daughter handle all the little details there and set the surprise up. Fun times…..
The best trip ever taken was a trip to Alaska and the Yukon, the scenery was breathtaking. Another great card. And good luck on Monday in the UK. I am sure you will do great. Christine S.
This card is so beautiful, so Beccalicious!! You out do yourself every time you create. Such talent could not be contained or hidden under a barrel. It had to be only a matter of time before your talents spread worldwide. Kudos!! I send all my prayers and best wishes with you. Knock ’em dead! The best trip I ever took was to your neck of the woods. It was to Disney World. I stayed in Kisseeme. Loved it so much did it four times. Hope your show airs on C&C/US!
Have a wonderful trip Becca. The best trip we ever took was to the UK, Italy, and Wales.
Wishing you a safe journey to the UK. May it all go well for you and you get positive feed back. Be BRAVE! all will go well.Congratulations on this latest accomplishment!
Last year we had a beautiful trip by train across the South island through the mountains coast to coast. It was awesome.
Hi Becca. The best trip I ever had was when I visited my country again, after 20 years.
Wow Becca. Many congratulations – you will be wonderful! I will be recording each of the programmes so that I don’t miss a thing. Another stunning card. It’s difficult to choose my best trip because I have been very fortunate to have travelled to most areas of the world but if I had to chose maybe it would be my trip to India and the Taj Mahal. Good luck and have a fantastic time in the UK.
So excited and looking forward to your visit to the UK and your appearance on Create & Craft with Christine. You will be fabulous and you will receive such a warm welcome. The weather here is now turning colder so wrap up warm. I have a few of your designer dies and I am so looking forward to seeing your new dies.
Marion xx
Absolutely stunning. So looking forward to watching. My Christmas presents have arrived early. A laser printer and a minc machine … excited but reluctant…. really need to have a play but so much on for now that i need to finish.
Have a great weekend xxx
Congrats Becca, so exciting. Wish you were coming down here to New Zealand.:) the best trip I ever took was when I came to America in 2007. I was in my 50’s and it was my first ever trip out of New Zealand. I stayed with cousins at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Your thunderstorms were really scary. The lightning was incredible, I’d never experienced anything like it then or now and it always stays in my memory.
Enjoy your trip to the UK and I hope we get to see your programme down under. Take care and have a wonderful time.
My best vacation was going on a cruise to Alaska with the Gaithers. The whole ship was reserved for the Gaithers and there was no gambling or bars open. It was wonderful as we had a concert with them twice a day. Your cards are absolutely gorgeous.
Congratulations Becca I just wish we could get this program here in Australia. the best trip we ever took was a trip to America to Canada and the Rockies and then a cruise to Alaska, it was so good I have always wanted to do it again.
Hugs Trish.
I am so EXCITED for you and all of us who are your FANS! Believe it or not, I only discovered Create and Craft about 2 months ago. Great timing! I record every show and watch most of them live. Of course, I will be watching live to see you and I am thrilled you are going to be sharing your new COLLECTION on TV. What a blessing for you and for all of us. I predict an early SELL OUT!!!
Your card today is so elegant and stunningly beautiful. The gold card adds the perfect touch to a sentiment that is lovely. You are such an inspiration and it makes my heart smile to see your years of efforts rewarded. God bless you, Becca!
Hello Becca, How exciting for you. Scared is OK. It will keep you on your toes. I just looked at Christine’s website and I cannot wait to see what the two of you “a dynamic duo” create. Love the Labels 54 card. I’ve been using more and more of the foil paper as it die cuts so perfectly. Looking forward to 11-23-16 and the next Chapter in your life. God speed!
My best trip was one to Houston when friends there then took me to San Antonio, Austin, and San Francisco which I didn’t know was going to happen. Looking forward to watching you here in the UK as I have been followING you for years
Becca, Amazing news, cannot wait you will be brilliant, your talent deserves to be showcased, hugs Jennifer x X X
Oops! I forgot to include my best trip story! I hope it’s OK to add a second comment.
I have to choose my honeymoon trip to Lake Tahoe, California. We spent a week in a cabin nestled in the woods. It was soooo romantic and private. We shut the world out and began our married lives together in a dream come true honeymoon. Eighteen years later and that trip still ranks as #1.
First, another beautiful card, love the sentiment!. So happy to hear you will be on Tv,love Create and Craft, sending you my prayers, but have no doubt you will do just fine. Can’t wait!
My favorite vacation ever was when we spent a week in Yellow stone National park loved it.Look forward to watching the craft show.Good luck.
Hi Becca
The best trip I ever took was to a town near where I live to meet my new Grandaughter.
I am so excited you are coming to the UK, and have already arranged to record all your and Christine’s shows
Good luck
Pat x
Hi, Becca,
I am so happy and excited for you. A talent like yours deserves as wide an audience as possible!!! Thank you for providing your schedule. Since I am not familiar with C&C TV, this will allow me to target my viewing. (Can’t wait to see your new dies.)
I am not much of a traveler, but a couple years ago my community chorus was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall. I invited my twin sister (MD) to meet me (CA) in New York. We have a ‘ginormous’ family and we are usually surrounded by others when we’re together. But, for this trip I got to have her all to myself for a week. What a precious time. Certainly, singing in Carnegie Hall was pretty special but sharing it with my sister was the icing on the cake!
No need for fear, Becca, (easy for me to say!)-just be yourself. Your warmth and enthusiasm will prevail and I am sure you will forget all about being self conscious as you focus on your passion. All that love & creative energy will start bubbling out!
Love & blessings,
Sandy
Hi Becca, how exciting! Wow wish you could come to Australia! You are a natural! Once you’re there all those nerves will disappear. I can’t wait to watch it & see your new collection.
Best trip I ever took was to Malta. We took the children in 2011 to see where their grandparents & ancestors are from. They loved it! Learnt a lot of history & met many distant cousins.
I will be praying for you! Remeber you are braver than you think!
Have a lovely weekend x
I have lots of PSX stamps, too. Some of them are quite coveted on eBay.
Fantastic that you are literally going international!
My most memorable trip was in 2006 to Europe. Hubby, myself and 3 German friends took an Alps tour that was once-in-a-lifetime. We went to the top of the Little Matterhorn from Zermatt and got stuck there. Had to be rescued via Air Zermatt Rescue helicopter, dangling 90′ below it, over a glacier. It’s been 10 years since that day but it’s like it was yesterday. We still talk about it and how we should have done a 10-year ‘reunion’ of that trip this past summer.
You will do fine on tv Becca…hoping I can get that station!
Your card is stunning and I would LOVE to recieve it!
Hello Becca, what wonderful, exciting news you bring to us! I’m so looking forward to seeing you and Christine on Create and Craft, I’m sure you’ll be a great success and I’m longing to see the fruits of all your hard work. My best trip ever was the first I ever made with my late husband – it was to Skipton in North Yorkshire (not very far away, we later travelled all over the world together!) but it was SO special. Good luck and God bless your new venture Becca, you are in my prayers. Big hugs xx
Becca, can’t wait to see you on create and craft, i tape their shows every day and just love their tutorials. Wish you could do more YouTube, I love watching you craft.
Best Trip. That is easy. My husband and I went to Alaska in 1999. 7 days on a Holland American cruise and 11 days on a land trip throughout Alaska to Denali and into the Yukon. Beautiful country and super nice people made a lifetime dream vacation come true.
I want to wish the best of everything to you on this new venture.
I will definitely be watching can not miss something done by you
best wishes for a wonderful, exciting adventure. (and this card is beautiful, by the way) my favorite trip was several years ago when my husband and I canoed on the backwaters of the Mississippi river near winona, mn. it was awesome!
Best trip was “down the aisle” to get married — almost 20 years ago.
My most wonderful trip was to Alaska. My husband, our 11 year old grandson and I flew to Alaska, rented an RV and traveled over the state from Fairhope to Homer Spit. We went Salmon fishing, halibut fishing, rode in a dog sled, panned for gold, went to all kinds of museums, spent the day in Denali, went to the North Pole, went to a reindeer farm, went to a musk ox farm, saw all kinds of native wildlife, including a just born moose, and had an “awesome trip” as my grandson would tell you. We want to go back and take a cruise on the inside passage and see the remainder of Alaska.
Beautiful card! Our best trip was in 1999. We took our 2 children to Walt Disney World at Thanksgiving time. We woke up the day after Thanksgiving and the park was magically transformed for Christmas!
I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but the best trip I’ve ever taken was when our daughter got married. We live in Iowa and our daughter was getting married in Georgia. The three of us drove to Georgia (that was a trip in itself!) and stayed at her small apt. Then can you believe after the wedding we all came back to the apt and spent their honeymoon with them!! We took a trip through the Smokey Mountains, seeing some gorgeous scenery. Made many stops along the way to sample the local foods, too. Explored a cave and underground lake, visited so many interesting sights! I really liked Georgia and was sad when they moved to Florida. Now we visit her there every chance we get.
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll do great! I can’t wait to see your new dies.
My best trip was a cruise and inland tour of Alaska. It’s breathtaking. We saw glaciers calving and whales bubble feeding and we had a day in Glacier Bay.
Lovely card, and awesome for you on the show, good luck you will be great!! My favorite trip would be to Disney World with my family and mom for Christmas the year my father passed away it was a tribute to him!!
I can’t believe you’re going to be on TV. You are a brave girl. I think you’ll do just fine actually. You’ll have so many of us praying for you and you’ll be so excited to show the line that the time will fly.
I can’t wait to see the new stuff.
I always love your cards and am happy to see that I am not the only one who remembers PSX. I too have quite a few and always loved their style. Would be nice if they could come back, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. Good luck with your TV appearance. I am sure you will do great.
What a beautiful card! You are SO talented.
You’ll do WONDERFULLY on TV, Becca!!! ;) I’ll have to mark my calendar! Your card is BEAUTIFUL!!! SUCH a WONDERFUL sentiment too!!! AND as for your question…… Hm, I don’t travel too much, & am more of a home body. But, I’d have to say that my best trip was when we would go to Roscoe Village in Ohio. It’s a Canal Town & historic. It used to be our favorite place to visit when we were in Ohio! ;)It was SO MUCH FUN to just stroll the old street of stores, especially when they had their Apple Butter Stir’n Festival! LOTS of vender’s come in & show you how things were done back in time period of Roscoe Village—Early 1800’s! Not to mention all their wares! ;)
A cruise ship years ago…love your card as always!!!
Another work of art! Simply stunning! We took our two children and their spouses to Italy in May. It was an adventure to remember!!
The best trip I ever took was in 1998 when my husband retired. We took our motor home and drove to Alaska and spent the summer there. We took our time and stopped and visited friends along the way. The trip through Canada and Alaska was AWESOME!!! It was almost sensory overload as the scenery was beautiful!
Love it! Can’t wait to see you and your demo :)
Woo hoo! I love that you’ll be here in the UK demoing your beautiful dies and elegant style. Try not to worry about this, I know you’re a bit camera shy but I have every confidence that you’ll do great. I’ll be sure to tune in. It’s my wedding anniversary on 24th but I’ll set to record all the shows so I won’t miss anything. Best wishes from Alexandra in Scotland xx
Easy to answer: Alaskan Cruise with Dr. Charles Stanley
Your card creation today is beautiful. Love the PSX stamped sentiment. The best trip was one with my husband to Colorado and then there was the California trip seeing the Giant Sequoias. Awesome! I am so excited for you Becca and your visit to the UK and being on Create & Craft. You can do this I know. God will be with you all the way to lift you to where you need to be and to grow in this direction. What an experience this will be for you! Looking forward to your shows on C & C. I’ll be there! Hugs and prayers.
Best trip was a trip with our family at christmas to hawaii. Just sun sand and family time.
Best of luck on your trip. Doing what you love will shine through and you will a star! Sending out love and prayers for a fantastic trip.
Dee
Congratulations Becca! Best of luck in your new venture!
Wonderful Becca! My best trip was going to Maui with friends!
Yowsa, Becca! Congrats, Congrats and a few more. That IS big news. You’ll be awesome. After all, no one knows your dies like you do and the things that you create are always simply awesome. I’m putting the dates and times on my calendar. So I’ll be rooting you on.
Be brave, be strong. You can do all things through Jesus Christ our Lord! You are so talented, that is why you are going across the pond and will be on C & C. Can’t wait to watch you! As always a beautiful card too. Blessings, Lisa
Becca, I had just recently wondered if C&C would ever offer you a spot on their show. I am an avid follower (and customer) and know that God has a definite plan for you and your work there! He will be going ahead of you and smiling with you the whole time. So excited to see you next week with the wonderful C&C crew! Favorite trip was spending a week in a fabulous condo in St. Thomas with our family. It was AWESOME! Have a wonderful time in England and safe travels!
What a gorgeous sentiment! You need to nudge Suzanne at Quietfire to do one of these!!
Best trip ever… a family camping trip (tent and station wagon) to most of the national parks west of the Mississippi back in the 70s. We still tell stories from that trip!
Happy travels to you!
This is an elegant card that any friend would cherish forever. Have fun in the UK. Be brave! Prayers headed your way!
Congratulations!!! I love Create and Craft USA! I know some of the people also are or have been on C&C TV which is UK. I pray this means we’ll see you on USA, too! Oh, how happy that would make me! Girl, you got this! I know the USA customers are like friends on their own chat page on FB! You must check it out…Create & Craft USA Fans Chat Time..we’re a closed group. Love your card today! You always come up with amazingly gorgeous cards!
Congrats on being on TV. I am sure you will do fine. Love the card.
How exciting! Best of luck to you!
Best trip I ever took…. any of my trips to Disneyland! After all, it IS the Happiest Place on Earth!Lots of good memories there, so it is a special treat any time I get to go!
I wish you all the best it sounds so exciting!!
Oh Becca, I’m jealous that you are going to the UK! We traveled there for our honeymoon so hubby could meet my grandparents and then for our 30th anniversary in 2011 to see those in my Dad’s family who were still there. Hubby enjoyed meeting some of my second cousins so we went again last year. All 3 trips were wonderful so I’m sure you’ll have a marvelous time too.
Beautiful card as always. Best Wishes on your new adventure! What a treat for your UK fans. I just need to figure out the time difference so I can watch on my computer. So very happy for you. YOU GO GIRL! I’m so excited for you.
How very exciting Becca. You will be wonderful and will get to spend time with a friend and do a little traveling as well. How wonderful. I will be up to my elbows with food and guests however, and will not be able to watch. Is this the only time you will be on CC?? Or is this an ongoing thing???? Wishing all the best. Enjoy.
Hugs,
Marcie
Absolutely beautiful card, Becca. I so appreciate you sharing your cards, it doesn’t even matter if I win, thank you! My best trip ever? Don’t think I can limit it to just one! I’ve been blessed to have many wonderful trips. Most recently my husband and I took a month long road trip. It was great.
Another gorgeous card

Hello Becca,
I’m looking forward to watching you and will send in an email to C&C welcoming you to the U.K.
Best trip ever wasinspired by your BRAVE post and was to the Doctors to see about having my cataracts removed. I’d been putting it off and was struggling to see, so I went to my GP, then to the hospital and had the second cataract removed a week ago. The World is bright and the colours are wonderful, so thank you.

My best trip so far was when my husband surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for our 25th anniversary. It was amazing!
Hi Becca. I love everything about your beautiful, elegant card :-)
Wonderful news to hear that you shall be crafting on tv. Will definitely be watching. Sending hugs xxx
Congratulations for being invited to demonstrate/instruct your dies and cards on CC. You’ll represent the U.S.A. well. My most memorable trip was with my parents to our ancestral country to meet ‘new’ family members and to do our genealogy. It was like a whole new world opening up for me.
Hi Becca, Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee !! I’m so excited that you are coming to C&C, especially as you will be with Christine too. You need not worry at all !!! you will be fabulous, we all love you and everyone else will too.
A fabulous card, love it !!
I don’t go away as my hubby works for himself and never takes time off work (unless the workplace is closed), but periodically on a Saturday we have a drive to Lytham St Annes, we park the car in St Annes and walk to Lytham (takes an hour each way) we then have Fish and Chips in the ‘best’ fish and chip restaurant which was recommended by Gordon Ramsay and also Rick Stein, and it definitely is ‘the Best’, after having this we then walk back to St Annes to pick up the car. The air is fabulous as we walk all the way alongside the sea front. I love it !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good morning Becca, yippee!!! At last oh my sweet angel I can’t wait!!! You will knock their socks off!! Don’t be scared you will be fabulous I know it!!!

My most memorable trip was to Tecate, Mexico, several years ago. I was a chaperone for a mission trip for my church’s Youth Group. I was able to meet some kind and beautiful folks who were excited to see some Americans helping to build a church for them. It is easier to get closer to God while working for Him, completely unplugged – no tv, computer, or cellphone.
Dearest Becca,
Oh what wonderful news, well for us across that pond here in the UK to have you coming to our screens. Such a very talented lady that i know my friends are going to be as excited as i am when i tell them you are coming across. I will go and make sure my record buttons are working the now and get all your shows programmed in so that i don’t miss a single one. I love to see you when you put up a video of a make, apart from being so very clever you have such a beautiful voice that is quite hypnotic. I sincerely hope that you have a ball while you are across and you get to see the beautiful side of people and our beautiful country although to get the hills, you would need to come up to my beautiful Scotland. Have a wonderful time Becca and thank you so much for making my day flower.
The last holiday that i got to spend with my lovely Mum who is now up with the angels. We went across to Orlando and we had the best time ever. Mum wanted to be away for my daddy’s 1st anniversary and so took myself and her two grandchildren to Disney. Although she ended up in hospital while on holiday we still had the best time that we all remembered afterwards. I have always wanted to meet the real Mickey Mouse and my dream came true by finally getting to go at the age of 42. I know that he isn’t real and that it is someone dressed up but i just so wanted to see him in the flesh sort to speak. I waited in this line up of all these wee kiddies and one adult just to get to shake his hand and get a cuddle from him. My daughter who was 16 at the time was goign through that “oh Mother, grow up won’t you” stage. I had booked for my Mum, daughter and son to go swimming with the dolpins as i had heard that it was really good for autistic children of which my son is one. Truly from start to finish it was a fantastic experience and when Mum landed in the hospital, the Disney people were so kind, caring and helpful. They put on transport to take me back and forward to the hospital to see mum and while i was there, they looked after my children, making sure they were entertained and fed with no thoughts of needing reembursed. Nothing was too much trouble for them so as i say for although the end of the holiday was a nightmare with mum landing in the hospital, even she said that she had had the best holiday ever. If you get even a part of the welcome and friendliness that we received in your country i will be well pleased. Have a safe journey across flower, but most of all have fun,
love and crafty hugs

Congrats on the new adventure! You’ll do great and the Brits will love you as much as we do! Best vacation: In 2011 and 2012 I met up with my husband in Pula, Italy which is on the island of Sardania. He was working in Afghanistan for two years as a senior mentor to an Afghani general and that was our halfway point. The second time we went, we took my daughters and son-in-law with us for the first 8 days of the trip. They loved it and talk about going back. It’s a trip I’ll never forget.
Becca what a beautiful card.Have a safe tripand I know you will do very well on C&C show.Will we be able to get it in Ontario,Canada? Hope so.

The best trip I ever took was the day I left for college over 450 miles from home. That trip led to a four year exploration of new facts, ideas, and inspirations. I shall be forever glad I made that trip!
Becca, wishing you safe journeying to the UK. Have no fear of appearing on C&C……you will be bringing a touch of quality to the screen given the superb tutorials on your blog… really looking forward to seeing you and seeing your new dies.
Jet lag travelling East is something else so rest well before and during your flight.
I have enjoyed eleven driving holidays in the U S and I I miss the craft shopping!!
Congratulations! You go girl. Fear not. You have the talent plus the heart and soul that everyone loves. Can’t go wrong by being yourself and sharing your thoughts and ideas. I’ve been out of the country for 3 weeks and without internet so it is good to return home to such grand news. Looking forward to hearing all about your new adventures. Barbara
I took my Girl Scout troop to Savannah, GA for a week to Juliet Lowes birthplace. 18 young girls in vans it was awesome!
Becca what a fabulous card. You will do just fine at Create and Craft and I will look forward to seeing you on the channel. Just feel the love coming through. HUGS
Safe travels to you and your travel partner. I can not wait to see what you will be uncovering for us to see. This friends card is beautiful. I will try to watch the unveiling. Have a great time.
Hi Becca
Looking forward to watching you on Create and Craft and can’t wait to see your new dies.
Moira
Hi Becca. Very late commenting as busy weekend, but your card as always is beautiful. The sentiment is beautiful too.
I’ve had some lovely holidays over the years and have loved them all but I think my first visit to Venice was the most memorable. I fell in love with the island and it is still my favourite ‘city’ to visit.
We here in the U.K. Are thrilled to have you visit and to be lucky enough to see you on tv. Enjoy your time with us xxxx
Oh My! I cannot hardly wait to see your new dies! My, you are such an ambitious gal! I wish you great success in this new endeavor! Thank you for a chance to win some fabulous blog candy. You are the best!
Your Dies are beautiful, you are a very talented lady. Thanks for sharing all you beautiful cards and projects with us.

Hello Dear Becca. I’m so very proud of you. Though I only know what I’ve read about you through your postings, I can somehow relate to your life.
To say I’m grateful to have found you, and this card especially now as a dear friend is facing end of life, is an understatement.
You inspire my heart in so many ways. I’ll pray for God’s favor on you as you travel and grow through sharing His Word, one card at a time…. Love to you, Sweet Becca.
Donna
I am new to looking at your blog. I saw the card and thought WOW, I want to make one like that. I am now going to follow you. Jenny, a new fan
Oh Becca, your new dies are exquisite.
I’m so disappointed though that my order was not placed in time to receive the on-air special price. Can you tell me when I can order State-side. Every item I want was SOLD-OUT! Good for you, but not for me….Sad, Sara
Oh, Becca, I watch Create and Craft almost every day. Imagine my excitement to see you on today. I told my new husband of three months that all your work is so beautiful. He immediately ordered your border dies collection. Yes, I have introduced him to stamping and find that he is very creative. I can hardly wait to get the collection and start playing with it. I am also looking on your site and on Spellbinders site to order some whole card dies.
Love, love, love your work.
Edie
Best trip I ever took was in 2011 when my husband and I went to Hawaii for our 50th anniversary. Awesome. I saw you on Create and Craft today (Thanksgiving Day 2016), loved it and you were wearing a dark pink shirt. I recorded it so I can watch it many times.
I am a first checking out your website, & I’m so excited to find it! My best trip was to Nassau Bahamas, I thought I was in dream land, it was the first time ever seeing crystal blue water & palm trees, & white sand!
The best trip I ever took was my trip to Italy. After discovering that I had breast cancer and went for my treatments, I thought I wasn’t going to depart for Italy because of my treatments. Then I was fortunate enough to have been bumped into the night clinic for my treatments and I finished them just in time so that I could venture off to Italy with my family and visit my husbands relatives for the very first time after so many years. I was truly blessed to be able to go. I thank God everyday for giving me a second chance in life. God bless.
