Oh boy do I have something unique to share with you!!! Can’t show the pictures yet because you won’t know what you are looking at, so let me back up a little bit. (It’s a little bit long but I promise, there are pictures in the post :-)) A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Creating Keepsakes and Shutterfly that caught my attention. It seems that Shutterfly now does little photo books as well as pictures. On second look, it was an offer to make a photo book – for free. Well, you know "for free". I immediately went looking for the catch but didn’t find one. My only thought was that CK and Shutterfly were pushing this so that you could try it out. Well, that was some time in May and the offer did not expire until midnight on June 21st – shucks I had plenty of time to figure it all out. So on June 21st I was checking emails and that same email caught my eye again. I forgot all about this offer and there were only a couple of hours left before it expired — yikes!!
So, I decided I didn’t have anything to lose. I thought even if I only get half way through, it’s free, right?!? Well this is the result of that frenzy of activity and I must say that the entire experience as well as the delivery that came to my door was total serendipity. It’s not perfect and I actually had no time to prepare so this is what I did. I needed pictures, lots of pictures. Aha!! I have tons of blog pictures. Ewww, lots of slots for captions. Aha! I have quotes. By the way, how long does it take to fill twenty pages full of pictures and captions in a book? So in the space of about two hours – part of which was spent mounting the slight learning curve and navigating, I literally threw a book together. Well enough of the blah, blah, blah. This is my first attempt . . .
ETA: Shutterfly was kind enough to contact me with a direct link to this product – if you’re interested in taking a peek just click on the link: photobooks
More than 60 pictures later, I was thrilled that the order went through and there really was no catch. I was like a little kid waiting for it to arrive. My own photo book!! Some of the pictures are dark, some were not at a high enough resolution, there was no time to do cropping, no worries, I decided my freebie was a trial. It’s sitting on the coffee table in the living room (smirk). When people ask me what I like to do and I say making cards and then they give me that blank stare — I’ll hand them my book, ha ha. I imagine coming across it a couple of years from now and reliving the first two years of blogging. I’m definitely going to keep my eyes peeled for more special offers. When I get time, I’ll actually do a photo book with family photos. In the end I think I paid $8.75 for shipping. Totally cool, hunh!?! Thanks so much for letting me share.
How awesome! Guess I will have to try a book. I’ve seen them, but didn’t think much of it. You make everything look so good. I am sure God is pleased with your use of your talent. You bless so many other people with it.
What a fantastic idea, I have done photo books of family but have your own work “published”….. awesome!
What an awesome book you have made Becca.
Such a treasure to have on your coffee table of all your beautiful creations.
I love how you have arranged it with the quotes and captions. So very professional. Excellent. Love it.
Hugs Marion
WOUW how cool is that+ It must really be an amazing feeling to have your own work published in a real book to show people? It´s really stunning. Thanks sooo much for sharing it with all of us too. Definately something to think about
Big hugs Maryann
WOW!! Very Cool! It looks great!! What a great, and quick way to make a “photo album” of your pics and work, wonderful keepsake. All in 2 hours?! It would take me a few days to sort and choose. This would be a great “prize” IF you had multiple copies published. : )
Wow that is beautiful.
You “threw this together in 2 hours?” I couldn’t make one look like this is 2 weeks.
An Amazing keepsake for an amazingly talented lady
Thanks for sharing.
Becca, your Blog is name fits so perfectly! Amazing! You have been such an inspiration to me for over a year now! Thanks for always being there! Thanks for sharing your talent with all the rest of us.
Your book is gorgeous Becca, just like your beautiful papercrafting. Two hours preparation, yikes it would take me days.
Hi Becca, what a lovely keepsake. Can’t believe you “threw it together in 2 hours”. I can just imagine what your next one will be like now that you have made a trial one. Thanks for sharing
Hugs
FAN-TAS-TIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it.
Such a nice idea to take it and show people what you’re doing for a hobby. It is really beautiful Becca, just as all your creations!!!
hugs, Elly
What a great result. I usually read those ads fast and delete. I guess next time I will read more carefully!Thanks for sharing with us!
You should sell copies. I’d buy one. It would provide so much inspiration for my own card making. Great job. It looks so professional.
How very cool is this book you published of your work. How is it you have only been blogging for 2 years? Your work is amazing and your followers prove the height of expertise…ie Becca Bits!!!
Becca, what a wonderful idea. I had made a book in February, but never thought of making it with my crafts and quotes. I adore quotes! You did a beautiful job! Hugs Cheryl
Hi Becca~
How absolutely awesome! My only problem is that I had received the same email several times and didn’t take advantage of it!! I, like you, that there was some type of “catch”, so I didn’t take advantage of it! I certainly will the next time! You did an awesome job of putting it together and forever will have a memorial to your first two years blogging…I have enjoyed your work so much! You have inspired me continuously and I thank you for it!
Debbi
I think you have done a lovely job in 2 hours. I would have taken much more time. Thank God for a wonderful lady who shares her awesome cards with us all out there. I will also buy the book if they have it for sale. Keep up the good work! Really need the inspiration you share with us!
WTG!!! Becca, your book is lovely. I’d would still be deciding which pictures to include. I get the same look when people ask what I do in my spare time they don’t get the satisfaction we get by making cards. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Hey that is really cool…what a great showcase of your work….fab idea Becca.
Outstanding! What a beautiful “prize” for your coffee table! Your designs are so gorgeous if you got this published it would be a best seller! A wonderful showplace for your talents!
Don’t be surprised if someone comes knocking and want to start publishing your work! It IS amazing!!! I know I would buy one!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
This is absolutely wonderful! What a great idea. I have done books as gifts and even did an 8 1/2 x 11 last year for my daughter’s wedding pictures, but I never thought about doing one of my own creations! I love it! What an inspiration you are in so many ways!
As Emily, above says…very true…. The quality of your creation & the passion is totally seen in your exclusive works….. Somebody is sure to come your way to get it published….. Seriously an achievement…. What a commendable destination to your works……!!!! I am totally in love with it….. I have always been crazy of your works with uniqueness in them…. & this is a crowning glory!!!!! Kudos!!!! God Bless u with all happiness of this world…… :)
Ash…
Well, HOW COOL IS THAT !?! What fun that would be !!! The possibilities are ENDLESS !!!! WOW !!! NOW, you need to have MORE published and sell them !!!! THAT would please all your ”Becca Fans!” :)
Becca, What a beautiful creation! Perhaps this is a new road that God is leading you down?! I, along with others, would certainly buy your book! Thank you for always providing us with visual, as well as philosophical, beauty! Hugs, Magi
Becca, this is awesome and beautiful. Great job. So glad you shared.
This is an awesome book, Becca! I’m so glad that you made this to share with your family and friends! :-)
What a great book I can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for sharing
wow Bekka – never mind you only had two hours to do it – this is totally awesome – goodness knows what you could have produced with more time…. You deserve to be published anyway – never mind going for this free and wonderful idea… i would never tire of reading and looking at your pics – thats why i have you on RSS feed and have done so since i discovered your wonderful blog and talent – probably 5 months+ ago – and i’ve only just been blogging for 6 months…
i visit every post you do – but don’t alway comment… you just take my breath away and sometimes i’m totally stuck for words… I only ocassionally join in the giveaways as I feel like a fraud commenting on those when I don’t comment on everything you do… you inspire me, and probably every single person who visits you – not only with your craft and talent – but with your kind heart and your faith which shines through in everything you do.
Thank you
Paula x x x
Your cards are breathtakingly beautiful. The next step is obvious to me. May I suggest you make a bigger book that includes card recipes and sell the book to those of us who need your ideas, guidance and direction.
God has given you a real gift and I am blessed by ALL your cards.
May He continue to bless you and your family.
What a gorgeous book and what a great idea!
Becca
Congratulations. I am so glad you got to do this. Your art is amazing and I can’t wait to see it each day. Thanks for sharing with us
god Bless
Becca, wonderful job on your book. I have also ordered several of these books when I have seen a great deal but I don’t think I could complete one in two hours. I wish I could just sit and watch you create and just soak in all the creativity. Who knows, maybe some of it would rub off? I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing your tips and tricks and Becca bits with me. I always learn so much and am constantly AMAZED at how unique and creative you are. Please keep them coming.
God bless,
Peggy
What an awesome book!! Though it took you only 2 hours to make this little beauty (amazing in itself), I’m sure untold hours went into making these masterpieces. I’d love to see the faces of people who give you a blank stare when you tell them what you create and then they pick up your book from the coffeetable. I bet their jaws drop on the floor!!! tfs
I received the offer as well, & felt that I probably wouldn’t make use od it. I showed it to my “non-scrapbooking” daughter,(I have 3 “scrappers”) as she had previously made one as a gift, & I thought she might use it. I was very happy when she gave me the book that she & her sister’s had colaberated on-a year in review. These are definately a treasure, & I’m sure that the results will encourage more orders in the future.
I love your idea of a showcase of some of your cards; though how anyone could not be aware of your beautiful work, I can’t imagine!
I love this book, what a great job even if it was last min and not cropped, it still looks great.
What a wonderful idea to make a book of your beautiful cards and other treasures. It looks absolutely stunning – your work is by far the best I have ever seen. Your creativity never seems to end and you are such an inspiration to all your readers. I believe we are all talented in some way, but God has given you a little extra.
Just fabulous, Becca. I have made those books up with vacation pictures and have had great success!
Becca,
Your book is beautiful!
I received the same offer and did my book a few months ago. I used pictures of my new craft house while it was under construction and to completion. I could have added a lot more pictures but just did a big picture on each page.
What’s funny… I made a picture from where I sit at my desk looking out over the room. My television is mounted on the far wall and I didn’t pay a bit of attention to what was on television at the time. geeze…. to say the least it was a sitcom I guess with a guy dropping his pants. He had his white underwear screaming out at you and I didn’t even see it until I got my book. I will be covering it with a sticker or something. Then… in my caption below the picture I stated “what a view.” It has given me and anyone that noticed it a big laugh.
So… I guess it’d be good if I’d pay closer attention to what I photograph.
Thanks for letting me ramble! I love your blog!
Debbie
Shazam!! How cool is that! I’m sure there are many things that go on with you and other talented card designers that we, your followers, know nothing about…..in the business part of your life. However, I appreciate that you share so much with us, including your beautiful art work. This ‘little book’ could be the beginning of something really big! Congratulations, Becca.
Absolutely amazing, Becca! The book you have put together is gorgeous, would love to be able to buy a copy of it – the layouts, the fonts, the sentiment selections. This book will turn out to be a priceless gift for you and one you will long treasure. I can only imagine the smiles you had while creating it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Becca,
This book is gorgeous. I think perhaps I need to start reading those e-mails a bit better.
Wow! Your very own book! Cool!
The book is beautiful…full of your wonderful projects and cards. I have always been afraid for “free” because it ususally NEVER FREE. I so happy it worked out for you. Thanks for sharing.
Your book is beautiful! It looks so professional and 3D. Great job!
I took advantage of that same offer and made a Mother’s Day book from my three year old Grandaughter to give to her mom. It was so easy and the book is great. Both the girls love it! I can’t wait to make more.
Your book is gorgeous. I have used that offer before 2 times and have made books for my grandson to keep of special events in his life. I think I will try doing one of the things I have made over the years too, it should be fun. Thanks again for sharing.
YES! I remember seeing a similar ad around Christmas time. I loved making a book for my parents for Christmas. It worked out so well my sis made one for her mother-in-law. Great stuff!! and really not all that expensive. I’ll definitely do that again.
Totally awesome book, Becca. I love it and must give it a try, but I couldn’t do one as fabulous as yours in 2 weeks let alone 2 hours. Cingratulations on a job well done.
Anna Marie
Becca:
Yes Shutterfly is awesome. I have created several books – “for free” the last one I did was of my Son’s Wedding. These books are such keepsakes. I learned about Shutterfly free from the Oprah show and everyone at work was buzzin’ about it, so I gave it a try and I’m hooked. However, I never thought to put my projects in a book. What a fantastic idea. (there you go again with those amazing ideas) I’ll have to take the pictures and display them in the “book” hopefully I can catch the free ones. I think it’s usually around the holidays, like valentines, mother’s day and father’s day (at least that’s when I’ve done mine. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Oh Becca! I’ve made these little books too with Shutterfly as father’s day gifts. They turn out adorable! What a treasure to have your work ‘published’ like that to share. It turned out just beautiful!!
((hugs))
WOW! What a great idea for all of your cards! It turned out AWESOME!
very cool, love it!
Hi Becca, what a stunning book, but of course it would be with all those stunning creations! This should definitely ward off those blank stares! lol
What a great book. A unique way of keeping a record of what you have done in the past. Good job.
What a fabulous book! And what a great idea, to put pictures of your projects in there. It must be really overwhelming once you get them in there and look through the book. They’re all fantastic!
Oh My! What a beautiful book you made. I can’t believe you could get it all done in that short of a time! Great job! I am so envious!
Becca, I too have had those freebie offers and ALWAYS take them up on it! When it’s a book offer, I usually do one of my kids and cat. When it’s for free prints, I have them print copies of cards I want to CASE or are inspiration for me. THey just stay in their little envelope, ready for me to be inspired by. I think of it as a different way of buying a craft magazine, with all those pix in there for us to admire.
Your book looks beautiful; especially the front cover!
Oh, Becca! How exciting! I have seen these little books, but have never made one myself. A friend of mine made one for her husband for father’s day. It was precious! My cousin made one of her trip to Italy with my mother. It was great, too! What a wonderful opportunity to “experiment”! Yours looks fabulous! TFS!
How wonderful! Only you would think of doing that with the creative mind that you have!!! I get those emails all the time too but it never crossed my mind to do something like that. I will have to try it next time! Thanks for all of your inspiration. You are the best!!!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Your book is absolutely stunning Becca. This is the firrst time I have put a comment on your blog….just a bit shy!! Your creations really blow me away, you are so talented. I just love everything you do. Thank you so much for sharing all your stunning creations with us and great tutorials too.
Love Sheila – UK xx
I have done that! What a treat to have something that you can show off! Great job.
That is so cool!! What a great way to showcase all your beautiful creations!
Absolute WOW…that’s all I can say!!!!
What a fabulous book and reminder of all the fun you have making cards! Thanks for sharing again Beca. You are an inspiration to us all!
It looks so professional! You could make your own idea books and sell them. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE it!!!
Oh, WOW, Becca, this is awesome!!!! A Becca book!!! You know if you would publish this one ;D;D, you would make tons of money!!!! I know I would buy one for sure as all of your creations are exceptional and one of a kind. Way to go Becca!!! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
What an amazing Idea! I have so many card photo’s on my computer I’ve been wanting to purge off… this is a great way to save them and also show them off!
Way Cool Becca!
Which you could share the whole book with us some how.
I just LOVE your work and enjoyed the pick!
I’m going to check that site out now and see if I can get in on some kind of deal like that some time.
Thanks for the idea AGAIN!
You are No. 1 in my book! What a great memory album! You are so creative and I gasp that you were able to do all that in such a short time. Also, thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Very exciting and very beautiful. I will need to check into this!
Becca,
I think this is wonderful. From what I have seen on just a few pages, this is absolutely amazing and to think you did this in just a few hours.
Why am I not surprized. What I am surprized about is that someone didn’t actually come up with the idea of publishing your work for real. I know you have so many followers that would love to be able to buy a book with all your ideas and tutorials in it. My only fear, is a selfish one, and that is that you would no longer have time to do your blog which for me is something I love to check out first thing in the morning. It’s addictive like that first cup of coffee. Great job – maybe you would be willing to share a few more pics of this book every now and again. We love it.
Marcie
You are one awesome woman, Becca!
Beautiful!
I LOVE every card you make and show. Can’t you start selling your little book? I would love to have one!
That’s such a great book and like others have said, you should sell them! As always, you create inspiration in others! Hugs~
Such a wonderful gift to receive in the mail. I’m sure you will treasure it always as so many of us just love to browse through you creations. Every now and then I just sit for a few hours and go through all your cards and tutorials. It inspires me and for that I thank you!
Beautiful Becca!
I am so grateful that you bless us by sharing your creative gift. You should sell the online version of the book you put together. I would buy it just for the inspiration!
LOL – well if that’s how you throw things together, i can’t imagine what your best efforts would be like! fab Becca!
What a wonderful keepsake, and no family pictures! Your cards are always so gorgeous, they should be in a book. BEAUTIFUL
Fabulous, Becca! I’ve seen those offers and been tempted before, but the deadline always seems too tight to get it done. I guess one could be prepared ahead of time, but that’s not one of my strengths! ;-P
My friends make a lot of books at Shutterfly of their travels. I haven’t been brave enough to try it. Your book was such an inspiration that I will probably start taking pictures of my cards and projects. Your book looks wonderful!

Congratulations Becca, what a lovely book to browse through for you visitors.
Can I come for a cuppa I’d love to be able to leaf through this.
I’m stunned you managed to put this together in such a short time. It’s very professional.
I think if this was available in book shops lots of people would want one especially if you describe the way you create & put things together as you do in your blog.
The pictures alone are a pleasure to look at, and the quotes you chose are really interesting too.
Well done and tfs
Alexandra x
Oh Becca what a wonderful book you put together and in such a short time. All of your amazing work and your feelings with the great sentiments. Your friends will be amazed to see the beauty you create!
If this was for sale it would be a best seller.
Thank you for sharing it with us and be proud to have it in your living room :o)
Hugs and Blessings ~
I saw that same email…passed it up. How frustrating to see what I missed out on, but how wonderful to see your version — and your amazing book! Thank you for sharing. I would love a copy of that on my coffee table. Hmmm, maybe you should market that. LOL
So beautiful!
Where can I buy one of your books? ANd what email address do you have to make this? I wanna do a book of my cards. It really looks great, Congradulations.
Wow it makes a great portfolio of you work, fab idea and only the postage to pay. You can’t get better than that.
What fun! I’ll have to look into that and see what it costs.
I am totally impressed!
That is an amazing book!! It looks so professional, what a treasure!!
Very kewl! I love your little book and have never thought about printing up my crafts to show off. You’re amazing! thank you so much for sharing.
I have heard about Shutterfly before, Becca, from one of my nieces who did a book about her sons to their grandfather. It was so beautiful. She is a photographer, so she had great pictures.
Impressive book you have in the short time you had to make it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Becca, that is totally awesome. You are ever so talented and I thank you for sharing that talent with us. God Bless and enjoy your “puplication.”
Looks so professional. I definetly am going to go to shutterfly. I’m curious how much the actual cost is . Thanks for sharing!
This is soo cool (see my hand in the air?!) I definitely want this!
What a great opportunity and I am so grateful it fell into your generous and inspiring lap :)
Thanks for sharing !
Congratulations on your wonderful success. The book looks fantastic. Thank you for the joy you bring me each day when I receive your email. You are such an inspiration. Some days I feel down but after the email your new project puts me on a high. Thanks Becca.
This is awesome, Becca!!!!
Becca, next time someone asks you what you like to do, a more accurate response would be, “Well, I create inspirational works of art that bring joy, inspiration and encouragement to thousands of people every day.” Of course, you’re too humble for that answer, but it’s the truth. I love your work and would also buy a Becca art book in a hearbeat! Hmmm, so do you maybe see a business opportunity in all these posts? :-) You are a blessing to me. I look forward every day to seeing what you have done next.
Oh Becca, that is just fantastic! I’m amazed you were able to put this together in such a short time. It’s very professional. Of course your work is always so beautiful the book can’t help but be beautiful too.
Good things come to good people. What a special blessing to have something so beautiful to share with your guests. You deserve it.
Blessing
Bernie
wow, is that cool or what?!! I can picture you in high gear getting this all together in 2 hours–it looks awesome! And hard covered, too? I am smiling–it is wonderful!!
This is so amazing!!!
How fabulous this is! I too saw that blurb and just totally forgot about it. Oh well. Your book is beautiful. Isn’t it true that people look at you with blank stares when you say my hobby is card making or stamping? This certainly will ‘enlighten’ them. Your work is gorgeous.
Becca this is AWESOME! You could start your own little business making your own books and selling them for inspiration! i definitely would be #1 on your buying list!!!! :)
Hugs~ Kim
WOW! Totally too cool! I wouldn’t doubt they will come back & ask if they could publish your book to sell!!
Beautiful job Becca! The graphics and variety of content are wonderful. What a great way to showcase your stunning creations.
I have also made photo books for my sisters as I love photography. I use a Canadian online company but I will definitely check out the one you used.
Blessings to you,
Cathie
Totally, majorly COOL! In only 2 hours???!! Only you Becca!
R/
This is so beautiful! Can’t you get copies to sell? I’d certainly buy one! It’s great!
That is so cool!!! Okay, this is dorky, but my mom would totally love it if i did something like that for her.
I love it!!! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
All I can say is WOW. This turned out so cool. Boy what do you think it would be like if you had been more prepared?? Over the top I’m sure, but I think this one is over the top now.
Thanks for sharing, wouldn’t this make a cool wedding or b’day or Christmas gift or just any occasion gift. Well this has me thinking…..
Your book is gorgeous Becca,send my please this book to Belgium
hugs Akkina
Oh WOW WOW, so what on earth would you be able to create if you had more time?!! This is just gloriously devine…I would be so proud to have my cards presented in a book like this, so I can imagine how very very excited and proud you are. I am hoping that I can order something similar here in Australia through Snapfish (sadly we don’t have Shutterfly here) :( I have only ever seen books with one or two photos to a page and no writing, so have never really bother to consider them. Thanks for showing us what is possible. Kind regards Denise – Melbourne, Australia
What a wonderful keepsake! I wish I could see every bit of it.
Im a fan of yours Becca and You totally rock! What a wonderful book you have created and Im in awe and very jealous here! If you want to get extras id be interested in your book..
Becca! That is totally awesome! What a great way to have a beautiful visual catalogue of your cards. You are an inspiration and your photography is stunning – well done!
Becca, I love the cover you chose and your book is something I would buy too! All that inspiration in one place. Please share where to go to do this, I think this is such a wonderful idea.
I too think this should lead to a book deal!! Look at the Pioneer Woman and her cookbook. Mary
Good for you! I totally relate to your post and I must say you did better than I did because I had the same offer for a free book. I, too, thought there must be a catch, and procrastinated looking into it further. Well, I let my “free” book offer EXPIRE!!!!! Rats.
Everyone who I know who has had a Shutterfly book made, LOVES it. I really want to give it a try; I guess I’ll actually have to pay for mine. LOL
I LOVE every card you make and show. Can’t you start selling your little book? I would love to have one!
wow that is something special.
I even will be happy to buy your book :)
How cool is that!! I loved reading your story. I’ll bet you kicked yourself for nearly missing this awesome opportunity. Really enjoyed your story.
Hugs,
Beth
I love this idea!! I have been following your blog for quite a while and I think you are super creative, but I haven’t posted a comment before. I’ve made digital books before of family photos, etc, but never thought to make one of my craft. Thanks so much for sharing this idea with everyone.
Becca,
I have used shutterfly for years and I love all the different things they offer. I have done several books and have always been pleased with the final product. I love making personal “story books” for my grandsons. Your book is great. Patty
Girl you are bad the way you did your lay out is perfect will this go for sale in the stores let me know I want one you are turely amazing.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful book of your unsurpassable work!!!
Can’t even fathom that you put it together in just 2 hours.
I created books on shutterfly for 2 of our granddaughters and it took days!!! The 5 yr old is a beginning reader so I kept the script simple! She had decided to become a “pig” after we saw pig races at a entertainment farm! It was so precious!!!
Wish I had pictures of all of the little English Smocking dresses I’ve made over the years. What a perfect portfolio vehicle!
Wonderful Becca — what a great showcase for your work!
Hi Becca,
What a wonderful book.
I get so much pleasure looking through your blog you have a fantastic talent.
Keep up the good work.
What a wonderful book. I think this will be such a great showing of your awesome work. Great publication…
What an awesome book! I could not imagine it being anything less, coming from the fabulous Becca!!! That cover is stunning and I only wish I had been aware of this being available. I don’t think I could have done anything anywhere as amazing as what you have done though. Please accept my thanks for sharing all of your gorgeous work with us. I know that I am always in complete awe of everything you do and cannot think of anything you have done, that I haven’t loved. Your blog is my most favorite one of all!
Sweet! Wish I would have also seen the free offer! Sometimes, I think I need to read instead of skim…. It must have been fun for you!!
FABULOUS creation!
What an honor!! Awesome
How fun!! It’s so nice to see a “real live one” because then you can see what the product is actually like, and yours looks amazing :) You’ll have to show us what your “real” one looks like since your trial looks pretty fab.
I agree with some of the other ladies……….make a BIG book and sell it! What inspiration for those of us who are just starting and overwhelmed with so many products. You show how to put it all together and I’d love to have a copy to help me find direction. Your color coordination is excellent and has helped me so much. Please consider this……….I know you won’t be disappointed! You are absolutely the best!
Thats Fantastic!!!a Memory forever,,, well done , your book looks great.
Lovely book Becca.
So can we all come and read it in your lounge? ;o)
Hugs
Anne UK
What a wonderful Book you need to get that printed to sell on.
Loads of your faithfull followers would be in line for their copy.
I for one here in Scotland would love to have a copy,please, please think about it. I am sure it would be a “Best Seller”
Thank you for all the inspiration you give me and lots of others.
God Bless,
Patricia
Hi Becca! It’s definitely time to consider getting your inspirational book published! You’ve already got all the card samples to fill an entire book. Many of your creations also inspire us with God’s word. There isn’t a single book on the book store’s shelves as unique as the one you could create! You could advertise the link to your website in it. Your name is well-known already…stampers everywhere, upon discovering your book, will want to purchase a copy and they’ll treasure it. Why not let the publisher know that this book will be the first in a series?
How beautiful!!!! My mom paints and I did one of all her paintings for Christmas she loved it!!! I have been told many times I need to do a book after seeing yours I am so ready to do one of my cards.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I did one of a trip to Disney on Shutterfly, and this week I just loaded pictures for prints and the waiting time was almost two hours. So, you are a fast thinker and your book is such a precious keepsake. You would even have more than your money’s worth if you paid for it. I love your idea and results.
What a wonderful idea – a book of your very own. I did the same thing for my dearly beloved and his dad – but my subject was the contents of dearly beloved’s GREAT-grandfather’s tool chest. Beautiful hand-tools for wood-working which have now been passed down through four generations and have found their way into my dearly beloved’s workshop.
Love this! You do such beautiful work that it SHOULD be in a book! This is lovely! Congrats!!!
Becca, this is so awesome!!! You are da-bomb, girl!!!! Hugs!!
You are AWESOME!!! I just can’t believe what ideas you come up with and your cards are so thoroughtly and expertly pulled together. Your blog gives me great pleasure and treasures, too.
Becca, that is totally awesome! That is the nicest memory ever! I am sure it would not have any problem making the best seller list! LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing.
