Thanks so much for all your kind comments and the prayer you are sending for my husband. We’re in an awkward limbo so I don’t really have any news to share, but I can tell you his spirits were lifted to know he was on the minds of so many. I hope you’ll continue. In the meantime, I channeled some of my nervous energy into a card to share. The card is really quite simple so I’ll keep the description brief and as always, the links are here so that you can see what I used. I’m using a sentiment from the October Our Daily Bread Designs release called Missing You.
This pulled together quickly and decided to work with papers from my scrap bin. I’m relieved to know that I can actually make a card without touching absolutely every piece of paper I own (smile). You do what you gotta do, right?

Thanks for stopping by. I sincerely mean it when I say that you all bless me.
Gorgeous!!!! Gorgeous!!! I have been keeping you and your husband in prayers!
I just wanted to say Beautiful card as always.
God Bless you and your husband.
Love & Prayers
Beautiful card!! People from around the world are sending prayers and wishes for strength for both of you .
I have a poster of a tiny kitten hanging on to a tree limb with just it’s two front paws. The caption seems to fit your situation
“Faith is only Faith when it is all you are hanging onto”
Gorgeous card, Becca! I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Cross Collection dies and you’ve totally inspired me, as you always do! Thanks for sharing your incredible talents with us, even in difficult times. So happy that you have your designing for stress relief in life’s difficult moments, though I cannot create when my mind is otherwise occupied. You’re lucky that you can.
Sending prayers up for you & your sweet hubby and
{{{HUGE HUGS}}}

Hi
I have the sentiment of your card in a locket around my neck and the other half around my husband’s! I have been hi-jacked and my chain around my neck pulled off during gun point and the locket with those words stayed behind and fell off the chain into my lap. After the hi-jackers left, I found it on my lap. I BELIEVE it was God telling me he was protecting me.
Lots of prayers and hugs to you and your hubby.

Most lovely Becca.
I am praying for your dear husband; and yourself to get through these difficult times.
Love, Candy
Avery pretty and peaceful card! You have so much talent, I only wish I had half as much as you.
Becca, love your card, what talent you have!!! My prayers go out to you and your DH to guide you and give you both the strength you need to be positive throughout your tirals.
This is a stunning card Becca, and love your choice of design paper. I have that K&Co DP and absolutely love it. I love also your use of the diamond nesties and the mat behind it – you really do inspire me and others with how you effortlessly mix the two…
I hope that you soon get the news you are waiting for, but above all, hope that its good news. I know what its like to wait for results and information between consultations – both for myself (this year) and my Dad a couple of years ago – the waiting is the absolute worse bit.
You will be in my thoughts until your mind is at rest and you are out of limbo. May you both have the strength to deal with whatever comes your way.
Kind regards

A beautiful card and sentiment. May God give you and your husband the strength you need.
BEAUTIFUL card Becca!!!! I purchased the Cross Collection because of your GORGEOUS cards!!! It really IS a FABULOUS SET!!!! The colors you chose on this card are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Calming!!!! SUPER JOB!!!
Hang in there!!!! GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!!! :) (Do you remember Twilla Paris’ song??? ” This is no time for fear. This is a time for determination. Don’t loose the vision here. Carried away by the motion. Hold on to all that you hold in your heart. There is one thing that has always been true. It holds the world together. God is in Control. We believe that his children will not be forsaken. God is in control. We will choose to remember and never be shaken. There is no power above or beside him. We know, ohh, God is in control. Ohh, God is in control” —-and it continues on…. There another verse.) It’s quite a VICTORY SONG!!!! ( by Star Song! 1993.)
Keeping you & yours in our prayers!!!! Hugs!!!!
Beautiful card. Keeping your family in my prayers. God bless.
What a beautiful card…as always. You never fail to inspire me to try harder.
I know things are hard for you, I’ve been there and this is the saying that stays with me always, When God is all you have, you realize He is all you need.

Becca, when I clicked on the links for the Spellbinders, it took me to a search page telling me that the domain name had expired in Oct 2010! I’m sure they wouldn’t let that happen, but I thought you’d like to know. I love your card! The cross is amazing! Thanks
Very pretty Becca!! Love the shade of blue and cream and the cross! I am praying for you and your husband my friend!
hugs,

Keeping you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers.
I love the sentiment on this card. The know waiting
is very difficult. I love the quote above –
“Faith is only Faith when it is all you are hanging onto”.
Take good care of each other.
Beautiful as usual Becca, I love the cut out center and will try this, don’t have the grand dies yet but they are on my wish list. Take care and good luck tomorrow. I hope you get some better news.
Becca,
You constantly give to so many with the beauty of your cards and spirit. I, like so many others, anxiously await everyday to see what you’ve cooked up next.
Sending your husband healing and comforting prayers from Hawaii! When he gets better and is ready to travel, you MUST come to Hawaii for some R&R. Do know that you have many crafting friends here to ensure a wonderful vacation for you and your family.
God bless you and your family. Keeping you all in my prayers….all the way from beautiful Hawaii!!!
