Dear friends, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to tell you Merry Christmas! I hope you find yourself smothered with hope and love as we come together to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Many of you said this one would be tough for me, but really it’s not about me. I’m just thankful for the caring words and concern you’ve sent my way. Believe me, it has kept me afloat in a sea of grief. My family is home with me today and we have plans to take flowers for John. I have a card to share today – this is the last Christmas card I’m doing this year!!! All the particulars are at the end of my post.
By the way, I’ve changed my theme over. It is not finished yet but any further work needs to be done in front of the scenes where we can see it. Do you like it? Guess what, this is the first post on the new theme!! There are still adjustments to make, things to reload and items to adjust – don’t worry, I’ll get there. No need to report on the flukes yet – we’re working the kinks out and in fact you may see the old theme pop back up if we need to do lots of work. I’m not normally one to move ahead, I’m usually content to keep with the old, but my previous theme was three years old and was starting to be used a lot out on the internet. Now I have my very own look and it feels like me. I picked this theme in January and it has been in the works most of this year as I’ve given thought to where I’d like to go with Amazing Paper Grace. It does use Java but that’s basically because I wanted to publish galleries – you’ll need to have Java enabled. If you’re one like me that doesn’t automatically do that, check out the No Script plugin for Firefox and allow the sites you know to be safe, like mine.
| HOW IT’S MADE: |
| 1. Make Card Base – mine is 6″ x 6″ 2. Cut design paper slightly smaller than card, adhere. 3. Layer on a design paper panel and a mat using foam tape. 4. Create a frame using the largest Spellbinders Lacey Circles and Classic Circles SM, adhere. 5. Cut two smaller Lacey Circles adhere with foam tape. 6. Smudge all die cuts with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 7. Stamp and emboss motif, cut out with Classic Circles LG, affix to card with foam tape. 8. Embellish with two pearls and tie ribbon. 9. Optional, decorate inside. |
| SUPPLIES I USED: |
|
Stamps: Inkadinkado |
Well, take some time and click around. Once I have things settled I’ll do a full post on the changes.
Very nice!! Love the new look!
Christmas blessings to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Becca! Your “new look” is beautiful. Today is the first time I could see it. Immediately a peaceful feeling came over me. You know the feeling you get when you think of the “sweet by and by”. In this world of the “nasty now and now” , your little corner of the web is a sweet, peaceful place to stop and rest awhile. Thank you for all you do for HIM. Hope your day is filled with precious memories that bring you peace. Iris, Saved By Grace!
Merry Christmas Becca, to you and your family! May God continue to give you blessings unexpected!
I know this may sound weird – but your new site seems peaceful, a place of rest, a sabbath of sorts. A place to come, settle in, and relax and explore, be inspired and encouraged.
I continue to look forward to being inspired by you in the year to come. I learn so much from you. God has gifted you greatly.

Merry CHRIST-mas. :)
Merry Christmas to you Becca and your entire family. May the new year bless you with much joy, love and many, many, many wonderful blessings from our dear Heavenly Father and Savior above.
I can relate to the pain your feeling of losing John your beloved precious husband. My husband passed away five years ago on December 15th and just as John was your soul mate, my husband was mine. I always said he was my gift and miracle from God and my heart still aches over losing him, like you I try to fill my time by doing kind things for others.
For those who still have loved ones, treasure each and every precious moment you have with them. May everyone have a Christmas day filled with the most beautiful and happiest of memories. Happy New Year to each of you, may this year bring you joy, love and bountiful amounts of happiness.
Beautiful new look! Have a very wonderful and blessed Christmas! Your card is gorgeous!

Yes, I do like the new look! There are so many things I’m thankful for and you are one of them. What a great look doubling the Nesties creates….and I would never have thought of it! But for you I’d despair of ever having anything creative; with you it’s something new every day. You and your talents are so very much appreciated. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Such a beautiful new decor for your blog, Becca. I love it! And I do love the font you used for “Amazing Paper Grace.”
May you find peace and joy in the new year. May all you share with others come back to you tenfold.
Christmas hugs from North Carolina where we’re having a white Christmas!
Sending you this Christmas blessing:
May you be blessed with
the SPIRIT of Christmas which is PEACE
the JOY of Christmas which is HOPE
the HEART of Christmas which is LOVE
