One truly never understands how much they miss their iPod until they lose it. I’ve looked high and low for the last month and resigned myself to the fact that someone somewhere in Georgia was probably listening to some great gospel, 80’s music, School House Rock, Yanni, Journey and Rascal Flatts. Lol, anyone in their right mind would gag and put it down, but it was my beloved ipod, I listened to it every day. Missing it brought back pictures of Tom Cruise in his airplane during Top Gun after his trusty sidekick Goose met an untimely end. Tom couldn’t get into his groove without Goose. I cannot get into my studio groove without my iPod. HA!! Until today! I found it! I tore my car apart looking for it and when I found it, I did a serious – hope no one was looking – happy dance. Yeah, my new neighbor I’ve never seen before walked by just at that time. {Hi! – sheepish wave}. I’m just sayin’ – it’s been pure bliss in the studio today! One of the things I finished up was this cleaner and simpler than usual card. I love the new Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners LG and thought it would make a great base for a smaller sentiment so I used something from Our Daily Bread Designs new releases called Thank You Sentiments. The sweet butterflies I used are the new Spellbinders™ Les Papillion. They are so nice because there’s a filigree portion and a great base that can be stencilled. Hot Pinkalicious, right?
I’ve been using dark colors and piling things on so much lately that a light, clean card is just like that feeling you get right after you get your hair cut, lol! No worries I’m still working on CHA stuff but I’m having fun while doing it. Hope you are having a glorious day!!

Sweet friends, thanks so much for stopping by!!
Hi Becca!
Glad you found your iPod! It looks like it was certainly an inspiration for today’s design. I must like pink because I’m happy to see it again in your design! I sure like these new Spellbinders dies and can’t wait to get my hands on several of them. Would LOVE to have them all but I would have to give up eating to get them and that’s another of my loves (food)! Thanks again for your wonderful designs. You’re an amazing woman.
Love,
Rhea
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the pink! Too funny….that is the same music I listen to….so I’m not that weird after all LOL
yay, happy dance! love your cas card!
Just perfect! Love this card. TFS,and enjoy that IPOD,I really feel you,because I seem to work better with music.
What a fun bright card! I REALLY need these butterfly dies! Butterflies just make me happy! I am drawn to everything about this card–the clean lines, the butterflies and the color…my iPod is hot pink!
Would never have thought to use the small sentiment that way. I guess I thought I HAD to fill the ribbon! Thanks, again, for teaching me something new! It’s a stunning card, as always!
Don’t you just hate it when you misplace something like that!! Drives me nuts til I find it. There have been countless times when I tore my car apart for one thing or another!! So glad you found it! Love your “simple” card…I think its just beautiful. Great color.
Lovely card, as usual. I wish we were neighbors, because I am sure we would be friends! I recently did a happy dance in my driveway (albeit slow and probably painful to watch) when I found the library book that was going to be overdue the next day. I think a neighborhood of happy dancers would be a good thing. :-) Beverly
Absolutely beautiful card, Becca! I certainly can tell your mojo is back…thanks to your iPod! I wish I could’ve seen your “happy dance”!! LOL. You are so wonderful!
I’m new to your site and I stop by everyday to see what gorgeous card you’ve created. Love this one, too! I also love the embellishments that you add to the card. Your creative touches are right on!!
Oh, joyful day!! I’m so happy for you and your lovely reunion with your iPod! Enjoy your blissful musical creating time!
Hooray on finding your IPod! Love the new Spellbinder dies. Wish I could afford everyone of them. SU is coming out with some neat dies, too.
Also love your music choices!
So glad you found your “buddy.” I understand. I have a hard time working in my studio unless I’m listening to an audio book. It just helps to keep me focused.
Love these butterflies! Where did you ever find those buttons?!?
Great card! It’s fun to work to music. I was even playing some Christmas tunes yesterday to get into the spirit for starting some holiday cards. What ever works! :)
Beautiful card Becca…. and I’m soooo glad you found your ipod! I’d be lost too without my music!!!
glad your ipod showed up -maybe it was testing to see if it was really needed and decided it was. I have music going when I create too sometimes country,sometime classical sometimes rock and roll and others gospel and then there is the mix of all- and it does influence how I create I am sure. -maybe that’s why you’ve been using the darker colours lately
Hi Becca,
I have been looking at all your lovely creations over past days and simply sighing (in pleasure not misery!). You have a truly wonderful talent in how you put together your designs. So inspirational.
Understand EXACTLY about the i-pod – no rhythm no mojo! Music is such a powerful and emotive driver of our feelings and energy. So glad you found your i-pod again.
I lost my fave ipod in November when I attended my father’s memorial service. I had been listening to music that he and I both loved, and I think I left it in my car which was unlocked. Like you. it has music on it that I loved and the lucky person who found? it wouldn’t. O well–it was actually harder losing my daddy. Glad you found yours though!
So very glad that you found your I-pod. Your selection of music is very interesting. I would like to listen to some of your selections. Your card is very pretty Becca. I love the butterfly in all it’s glory. You have embellished just so nicely. Beautiful work Becca. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
We all know what it’s like to loose something that’s important to us. I had been given my grandfather’s medals from the Spanish American war, and I had them in a frame and put it “in a special place” while my family room was getting painted. So foolishly, on the day my husband was having a kidney transplant (and the dr recommended that I stay home rather than get him agitated before the surgery), I decided to clean my basement. Ok, so now I find the frame. But for the life of me, I don’t remember taking them to the safe deposit for safe keeping. I understand the “dance of joy” because I did it when I went to the bank, and to my surprise, found them. I was hysterical crying when I came out of the room to return my box. Tears of joy. Grandpa was watching over me, that’s for sure!
So happy you found your iPod. I can’t imagine losing mine. In fact I have it backed up so that I have that bit of protection. Had I been your new neighbor I would have said “Good morning, new neighbor. I see you found your iPod. I know that dance!” lol Love your card too!
Such a wonderful color to brighten our day!! Thanks.
CELEBRATION TIME COME ON!!! I think those are the correct words to that song. Glad to hear you are dancing with the IPod and the music. Love your card-enjoy your blog so much. Now lets Dance–have a great evening.
Love all your music choices, and love you simple card as well. Happy dancing and much love. I don’t have an ipod but know what you mean when you misplace things you love……..Dance for joy… you make us joyful as well…….hugs and smiles and dancing with you
Love your card !
I am so happy you fund your i pod. I understand how it change your day.
Merci
Francine
Becca, I love pink and this is no exception! I love “your” simplicity of the card!!!
Becca I’m so glad you found your iPod. Happy to hear you danced, remember someone once said “Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” and I believe you should.
Your card is fabulous!!! Love how you’ve colored the edge of the Banner, must learn how to do that.
Blessings Bernie
I have the wonderful mental picture of you doing a happy dance, Becca :) I was taking a trip down memory lane with your 80s music. Best decade around LOL! Now you are armed and dangerous in your studio again. Great card.
You are TOO FUNNY Becca!!!!!!!! :)Your card looks FABULOUS! :) It IS CAS for YOU!!!!!!!!!!! :) AND it looks GREAT!!!!!!!! :) Glad you found your IPod!!!! :)
Girlfriend…music soothes the soul…calms the nerves and without it I could not survive. Glad you found it…Your card is beautiful!!! I love your story…something I would do. Music is how I roll…Gotta get those LG banner dies. You are so getting me in more trouble…lol….Hugs… :=)
such a pretty pink. First thing I noticed. Then read the blog. I think I might just do a happy dance for you. I know the thrill of finding something that you have misplace. Later!
So very pretty!
It made me smile to think of you doing the happy dance. I wouldn’t mind seeing my neighbors doing a happy dance or even the whole world. It’s a good thing. Glad you didn’t have to start over again with a new ipod.
Good to hear iPod is home where it belongs. LoL love the bright pink of this card! And those new banner tags….wow! Tags and butterflies added to my wish list!
My congratulations, right along with everyone else, on finding your iPod.
Amazing what simple (?) things can put us in our ‘groove’ !
Pretty card – love the butterfly
Sweet card. I am really enjoying all the inspiration on your blog!!
Becca: Your card is lovely, but your iPod story gave me a chuckle. I could just visualize you doing your little dance. So happy you found your iPod. I like the kind of music you listen to. My kind of music.
So happy you and your iPod are reunited!! I love a happy ending!!
This is a wonderful card. I was happy to see the large banner utilized. I couldn’t visualize the size and your card puts it into context for me. Thank you again for the inspiration!!
Back to an old phrase: ” All’s well that ends well!”
I love the butterfly die, but, the banner looks large. I’ll have to look at that one.
I like the simpler card cause that is more the type that I do. I don’t think of all those layers when I FINALLY come up with a card idea. My cards need help, that’s why I look to you for inspiration. I couldn’t possibly come up with all those die combinations that you come up with. Your cards are breathtaking! I so enjoy seeing your cards. I look forward everyday to see what beauty you have created.
Love the card! So, were you just passing through Georgia when you thought you lost the Ipod, or are you from here? (asks a Georgian)…LOL. Glad you found it. I lose everything, and am very thankful my DH is a patient man that thinks that is just a lovable part of who I am. He spends a great deal of time finding my lost items, that I can never seem to find on my own.
I’m soooo happy for you!! You must feel like a new person! Love the pinkalicious card!!
Just sooo glad to hear, you found your belowed Ipod again. I can´t say I understand it, cause I´ve never had one, but I see the same panic in my hubby´s face, if he can´t find his ha ha ha. I relly think, it would be worser for him to loose his Ipod than if he lost me LOL.
What a beautifully CAS card :) I’m not a fan of pink myself, but sometimes it looks fabulous and this is one of those times!
I’m so glad that you found your iPad – what a nightmare! ;)
Love it Becca – so vibrant and fresh – just what is needed to chase the blues away!!! So pleased you found your ‘comforter’. Have a good day. tfs
Hugs

Love the card, the new Spellbinders, and….the vision of the Happy Dance! I can totally relate! So pleased the Ipod is now safely back in your hands and your heart!
Margaret
Ooooh, are you going to share your CHA creations with us after the event? I love the card today. It is my favorite color, pink. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome home iPod, your owner has missed you! Congratulations on the happy event, Becca and also for your newest creation. It is gorgeous, bright and makes me happy to look at it.
Glad you found your I pod, what a bummer to have thought you left it behind.
Pretty card, I just love that butterfly!
Sweet Becca,
Glad you have located your ipad. Sure is a bummer, they become another friend and not only costly, you never want to lose a friend.
Love the card and can hardly say it is “simple.” Nothing you do girl, is simple ~ stunning is a much better adjective to describe your work. I have been having a ball getting email almost everyday this week from you. I almost finished 3 cards the other night when we met for our weekly “scrap.” So I guess you have been my inspiration this week!!!!!!!

Congrats on finding the IPod! I don’t have one, or anything like it. Just a television in my room.
Very pretty card. I like the clean and simple of it too. TFSHugs, Jess
Never underestimate the power of simplicity…this is gorgeous. As far as your music…nothing wrong with that list and glad you found the iPod. You are an inspiration.
So glad you found your i-Pod Becca. It is awful to misplace something and wonder what happened to it!
This card is lovely — you always add such beautiful embellishments and just make it a “wow” every time!
Very pretty Becca….love the pink! Sooooo happy for you in finding your i-Pod!
Paper hugs,
Jan
I’m glad you found your IPOD and I know you better be careful doing the happy dance with your foot! just saying! LOL!
I love the card. The bright hot pink is great and the butterfly is too cool!
Have a happy day working to your music!
I love this card. This is so creative and the color was my favorite. Glad you find your ipod. You misplace something because your doing a lot of things.
Wish I could have seen you doing the happy dance! All of your cards are a work of art. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you found it. I think you can download a program call lookout and then when you lose it next time you can log on to your computer and make it scream. Love that program.
Happy that you found your ipod! Your card is gorgeous! Love the large banner size! So fun!
Hummmm, reminds me of all the doily die cuts that I cut out last winter and they disappeared for months. Drove me nuts but I recently found where I put them.
WONDERFUL!!! Love this shade of pink. Your color choices are always very appealing to my eye. It’s always in the details. Yours finese with the elements of your cards make being a voyeur an addiction!
What a perfectly lovely and delicious butterfly embellished card to celebrate finding your ipod! So happy for you. I know about the happy dance when I find something I thought might be lost forever. First thing I do before the happy dance is say “Thank you, God!”
Hi Becca,
Love this card, it’s a nice surprise to see that you are using colors you don’t normally use =)
I’m happy to hear you found your ipod too!!
Hugs,
Jo
