Sweet blog friends, Happy Monday to you!! I wanted to make something on the feminine side so I flipped through die templates laying on the table and came up with this combination. I mentioned that Spellbinders™ Romantic Rectangles was at the top of my list and was my starting point on this card. I added an element from Spellbinders™ Antique Frame, Accents, Spellbinders™ Damask Accents and Spellbinders™ Persian Accents. For the underlayer I used Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One paired with Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Two and cut it up so that it would fit around the edges.

Hanging from the bow, I suspended a Happy Birthday sentiment from Our Daily Bread Design – Special Blend.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Special Blend
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80 lb Cover, Bazzill
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Pastel Pink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Romantic Rectangles,  Spellbinders™ Antique Frame, Accents, Spellbinders™ Damask Accents, Spellbinders™ Persian Accents, Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One,

Crafty smooches!!  Oh, don’t forget I have blog candy going on for Prima Printery and Romantique paper – here’s the link if you want to participate – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/goodbye-dear-old-friend/

Hi there blog friends!!  At the same time that so much is going on, I’m trying to make some changes at home.  It’s been slow going over the last year but at the beginning of the year I made a commitment to get things done.  I had u-haul deliver a pod today so that some of my furniture is moving out of the house.  I expect to have foot surgery in the near future so I’m moving the studio to inside my house so I’ll be able to get around on my own. Carpeting is coming up and smooth flooring is going down.  You get the picture – I imagine I’ll be zooming around on one of those little scooters that you put your knee on.  Ha, I may even have to throw a picture of that up on the blog.  Not sure what it will be like to have to sit still but maybe, just maybe I’ll get more done, lol!   In the meantime . . . 

I have a card to share today using a sweet sentiment from Quietfire Design called Wings of the Butterfly that goes particularly well with Spellbinders™ Wings of Hope.  The butterfly from that die template set is absolutely magical – I have lots of die cut butterflies, but this one is so totally elegant!!  I created a medallion for the sentiment by using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders™ Wings of Hope, Recollections Crystal Garland, Seam Binding, and one of the small elements from Spellbinders™ Moroccan Accents.  I was intrigued by the doily look I could get from going around the circle with the little curlyique pieces.

I can’t often work it in, but I had some of the jewelled garland by Recollections and I think it was safe to use without clashing.  It’s a big embellishment and I thought I’d just give it a try – I have too much of this stuff sitting aside.   Can I leave you with a thought?  If you buy these tools and embellishments, please use them.  Really!  The more you use things, the more comfortable you’ll get with them and the more value you get from your hard earned money.  

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design –Wings of the Butterfly
Paper: My Minds Eye, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Moroccan Accents, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders™ Wings of Hope, Recollections Crystal Garland, Seam Binding, Recollections Pearls

I spoke recently about being brave . . . I’m considering starting a no pressure “play along” with some inlinkz and am curious if you all would be brave enough to contribute and show your creations?  I’ve found that many people are intimidated by challenges, so I didn’t necessarily want to set it up as a competition.  I’m not opposed to finding a sponsor and pulling a random name to win a prize, but no judging.   Right now I’m more interested in getting people to use the tools they have and to be proud of what you create.   See, you all have given me the wings to fly and now I want to bring you with me.  Weigh in and let me know if this is something you might like to see here.  If it is something you’d never do, please say so – I’d love to hear.

Thanks for stopping by today, I can’t say it enough – I appreciate my blog family here and find myself blessed beyond measure by your sweet spirits!

    beautiful card. i just love how you used the larger pearls.

    i would love to play along. if it’s easy to link it. as i have no blog and my scanner distorts things. it sounds like fun. promise you won’t notice how many things we “borrow” from your ideas.ReplyCancel

  • Linda MilroyFebruary 2, 2012 - 7:53 pm

    Yes awesome idea, I love doing challenges but it is hard if you don’t have the supplies they are asking for and impossible to buy everything. I think you would get lots of entries. Count me in.
    Your card is awesome as always. I can not wait to get my bow maker. Blessing, LindaReplyCancel

  • DawnllFebruary 2, 2012 - 7:53 pm

    I will be thinking of you when you have your surgery-How great that you can make the changes to your home BEFORE so you will be able to get around.
    How sweet of you to say if you have a challenge it won’t be about competition.
    I do enter challenges here and there but really don’t take it serious, I hate competition!
    I am on several teams that have challenges and like that random org picks so it is fair for everyone.
    Nothing worse then people having hurt feelings or thinking their work isn’t as nice as the next person. Love that everyone has their own skill level and be proud of what they make.
    Blessings BeccaReplyCancel

    It sounds as if you have very good plans…it would be hard to waste the pod! Congrats on the decision to up the carpet ( I hate them – such muck harbourors (sp) as my Mum would say).
    I really like this card – you used your imagination to such perfection here – not too much, and just enough embellishment! Love it! Thanks for sharing, as always.ReplyCancel

  • Karen KnegtenFebruary 2, 2012 - 7:57 pm

    I love challenges, Becca! I find it to be a wonderful way to ‘grow’ one’s talent, and sweet comments are so uplifting!! Not to mention a great way to see what other talented people are using to stretch their creativity.ReplyCancel

  • KraftyauntFebruary 2, 2012 - 7:58 pm

    Your card is gorgeous, Becca. And good luck with the renovations… I know what you mean about being able to move around your house while recuperating. I broke my ankle a few years ago and was in a similar situation.

    With regard to the play alongs, I probably wouldn’t participate. There seem to be quite a few sites doing sketches and regular play alongs. What I don’t see too many doing (and this is my personal wish list) is to have someone provide constructive criticism on my own cards/creations. Almost like a classroom environment where the teacher could point out opportunities for improvement i.e. what color combinations would have been better; where the composition was weak; how I could have ‘stepped it up a notch’…. as if I was attending a live workshop.

    Good luck with whatever direction you take. You’re talent, personality, and style will always be winners! Sincerely, Beverly.ReplyCancel

  • Carole (FibreJunky)February 2, 2012 - 8:00 pm

    If I can ever get my mojo back, Becca, I would love to play along.

    And I keep meaning to write to tell you that I would dearly love to be on the preorder list for one of your ribbon spool thingies. I’ve been trying to get the spousal unit to help me build one since you first posted about yours and he’s been less than enthusiastic, so I’m totally thrilled that you’re going forward with this.ReplyCancel

  • SuziFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:00 pm

    I do post some things on another website once in a while. It’s a scary thing, but I’m getting braver. The encouragement of others has brought me a long way. I’ll never be able to fly as high as you, though! I might fly along in your wake occasionally.ReplyCancel

    Prayers for a successful surgery. Hope you can let us know just when it happens, perhaps your friend can post an address, (?for cards!!!!). You share so many wonderful ones with us, only right & fair for you to get some FROM us! I like your idea of seeing OUR cards, and you are spot on with the idea of no competition. I, for one, never feel confident of my ability. Don’t have a blog either. But it’s lovely to see what everyone does. Beautiful card today, as per usual. Hugs & Blessings.ReplyCancel

  • Nan GFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:02 pm

    Another wow card! Yes, love the idea of a fun challenge/show me type set up. You use your tools in such different ways, it would be cool to show what we were able to do. And offer hints and suggestions on how to do something an easier way perhaps or to get a different look! Thanks! I too am anxiously awaiting my bow maker! Good luck with the surgery. You’ll love smooth floors! Blessings!ReplyCancel

  • KathyFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:03 pm

    I think your changes sound wonderful! Your designs are always so inspiring and gorgeous…
    I’ve found though that for my money and sanity to stick with cards that are a just a little bit more simple… I don’t know too many folks who would truly appreciate a card that I spent half a day on (which is what it would take for me to recreate one of yours)… ; )
    I love the non-judgemental idea… perfect for those of us who don’t feel we come close to your creativity and originality!
    Thank you for sharing on your blog… it is always a delight to read and drool over!

    Your work is always so beautiful and gorgeous! I always look forward to reading your blog. Those who receive one of your creative masterpieces are indeed very fortunate! I’m guilty of purchasing new items with expectations of using those items. Unfortunately I seem to set my new ‘toys’ aside with hopes that I will get to them ‘someday’. While I don’t have much free time to create, I would enjoy ‘playing along’ with you whenever I do have an opportunity to ‘play’. Thanks for thinking of us and for sharing your inspiration with us.

  • cindy ClickFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:14 pm

    Love your card. I love all the embellishments. (I tend to add more than probably needed, but I’m with you. What good are they if you don’t use them?)
    I would love to see what you have inspired in all of us. I have done a couple and I find it helps me to stretch my wings and try more. No one, in my opinion, could do a card prettier than yours, but we all have our own style. But we all have this is common- we love your work! So I say, bring on the challenge!

  • Becky GreenFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:15 pm

    This is a LOVELY CARD Becca!!!!!!!! I LOVE the embellishments you’ve used!!!!!!!!! Different than the ordinary, BUT PERFECT!!!!!!!!! It is QUITE FETCHING!!!!!!!!! :) I like the lacyness of these dies too!!!!!!!!!! :) GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!

    As to your idea? WHAT A SUPER IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! I’d LOVE to play along!!!!!! I don’t have loads of dies, only a few. And I don’t have a blog, so…. I guess those would be the only things holding me back if those would be a necessity! HOW FUN!!!!!!!!!! :) AND fun to see everyone elses creations!!!!!

    Have fun with your moving things around!!!!!! I ALWAYS enjoyed that part of homemaking! (Where we live now, I don’t get to do that!) But, having your work space where you can get to it easier will be MORE ENJOYABLE!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY when you won’t be able to get around as well!!!!!!!!!!!:)ReplyCancel

    Good Evening Becca,
    I love your blog and look at it every day. I think your idea is wonderful but not too sure that I would upload my cards…just a time issue. I would also like to know where I can send a card to you once you have had your surgery… I have prayed for you every single night since I have heard of your loss. Keep well Becca and know that everyone is wishing you all the best, we are all behind you in your endeavors as we have come to know you through your blog.ReplyCancel

  • janeyFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:27 pm

    I’m so excited for you and your renovations in your home….I hope it all proceeds as expected. Love the card – clever use of the doily die and using the curlyique to your advantage.

    Sharing my cards ? I do here with my stamping friends, however, I’m not sure I’m ready to go so public…..I may get brave though.

    hugsReplyCancel

  • Janet CastleFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:27 pm

    Beautiful card Becca. When I had my foot surgery (3 places on one foot at one time), I used my Secretarial chair to get around the house…as long as it will go thru your doorways. It worked great because I could make it highter or lower with a touch of a lever and it would swivel so I could reach what I wanted without fear of falling out of the chair – a terrible thought!
    Will be praying for your successful surgery and quick and total recovery!
    Paper Hugs,
    JanReplyCancel

  • Sandy HaysFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:28 pm

    Lots and lots of big changes in Becca Land! Be careful you’re not taking on too much… First of all, the Layering Queen has made another beautiful card. One of the things I really admire about your creations, is that you don’t “muck” up the card with a bunch of printed paper. Your plain paper color combinations are so soothing. You truly have a gift. And secondly, I would really like to “play along”, but I am totally clueless when it comes to posting a picture of my card on the internet. If you take on this endeavor, will you be able to post instructions for those of us who don’t know their way around a computer? That way I can play too!ReplyCancel

    First, congrats on getting the house in order to deal with that foot! Please let us know when that’s scheduled for…that way we can all keep you in our thoughts. Would love to see you scooting around in the “knee chair”. Had a friend doing that this summer, she loved the darn thing and man was she FAST! Another lovely card and what a great sentiment. While I have nothing at all against challenges or play alongs…I never seem to have the time to get it finished by the deadline, or it’s not a color/theme/design that appeals to me. Or not at all what I need for my stash or OWH at the time. So I probably wouldn’t join in. But that should hardly stop anybody else! Will be thinking of you, and still wondering what your other tool is! (and how the Becca Peg Bow maker is being received at CHA. (I may know some women that would be very interested in one as soon as I can give them more details! They sure like the bows that I create with mine!! All thanks to you, of course!!)

    Becca, I love your creations, and this one is no exception! I love to watch some of the challenges out there but have not participated so far, but it is something I’ve been thinking of doing. I really like the no competition thought…I always feel that my cards are never quite as good as some that I watch…like yours! I like the idea of a random drawing to make it fair to everybody. I’ve even been slowly putting together a blog so I can become more confidant with my cards…love your inspiration…inspires me with every post! Anxiously waiting for my Becca’s Bow Maker to arrive….yeah!ReplyCancel

  • Jo Anna GrimsleyFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:03 pm

    Congrats on getting some of your projects under way; it’s such a hassle while you’re going through it, but so rewarding when you’re finished. Great card today; love it! I have not participated in any challenges previously, but want to. Two things that intimadate me are: I can’t figure out how to post on some of the sites and I don’t always have the color of cs (they typically use SU colors and I don’t buy SU paper). Thanks for your beautiful creations-they always inspire me.ReplyCancel

  • Omega BrooksFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:04 pm

    This is another beautiful card Becca. I especially love butterflies, I collect them & love their symbolism. This one is gorgeous. Best wishes on your upcoming foot surgery & pray you have a quick recovery. Also, I love your idea of a “play along”, yes I am sometimes intimidated with some of the challenges I see on other sites. I haven’t been doing this for very long and really need to practice using my tools, new techniques I’m learning, understanding color blending and layering. I have a lot to learn but I am always inspired after stopping by your blog.ReplyCancel

  • TeresaFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:08 pm

    you go girl on the changes. glad you are having the surgery and that you are making the necessary changes to be comfortable in your home while recovering. When I was recovering 2 yrs ago from ARDS and a 6.5 wk hospital stay, I remember how unsettling it is to not feel secure in getting around on your own. so you are following a plan that will be successful.

    love the idea of the play along. I know this year of firsts have been a challenge but you have weathered the storm and you are a daughter of THE King my dear one and He is showering you with grace and blessings that are well deserved. I am so happy for you. love ya TReplyCancel

  • PJFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:14 pm

    I love your card, as I always do. I might add today, how much I like the way you write up your description with the links to the different elements you use, It makes it so simple to go there to the link immediately and visually see what you used… for instance the morroccan element…and how it works on your card. At least for me… it sticks in my brain and I learn better this way. Anyway, I appreciate it. As to the “play along”, it sounds like a lot of fun, for when time allows. I’m glad to hear that your foot surgery is hopefully in the near future, and my prayers will be with you for a fast, speedy, and successful recovery.ReplyCancel

  • SueFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:19 pm

    I am sorry to hear you arm having medical issues. I love your work and do not drop you a line often enough. I would join in the fun with or without a prize. I find a challenge is sometimes what I need to break a mojo block. Thank you for teach me so many different things. When you a down with healing you should think about doing some ustream, you could teach and we could chat LOL I wish you well Becca.

    Hi Becca,
    So pleased to hear you are getting your life organised ready for the surgery. I will be so worth it in the end and will make life easier and more comfortable for you. Hope you are able to get it sorted speedily.
    I love todays card and the added embellishment is beautiful. What a clever idea to bring the ‘curly cue’ to the front and bling it up a little.
    As to doing a challenge without competition for our work, I think that would be delightful. It would be lovely to see what everyone else is working on. However, I do agree with others, please don’t take on too much at the moment, you must take care of yourself, you give so much to us already. But if you do go ahead with it now or later, I, like everyone else, am behind you 100%.
    Take care LindaReplyCancel

  • Cheryl W.February 2, 2012 - 9:36 pm

    Another beautiful card, Becca. I will also chime in and say you are a very talented person and your cards are so very lovely. I enjoy your blog and look at it most every day. I’m glad you are making your house foot surgery friendly. It will be so much easier for you. I will be keeping you in my thoughts for a successful and quick recovery. I don’t have a blog and am unsure as to how to upload a card for a challenge. I tend to sit on the sidelines and just look.

    Becca: I sure hope your surgery goes well and that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible. I love the idea of challenges.

  • Pattie JonesFebruary 2, 2012 - 9:43 pm

    Becca, I dearly love your creations. like most of the gals cost factor is keeping up with things is a concern. But, the ideas are worth more than the money I would spend on the products. i can see what I have and use them differently and add only a few things. that;s why I like your frugal tutorials, Also all the challenges seem to want you to belong, and I don’t, and don’t have a blog. wouldn’t join it there was a cost.
    I will be praying for your recovery from surgery, and that the house will go well so you won’t worry.God Bless and keep you. God is so good,and He heals.Your cards are absolutely fantastic, and inspire me everyday, with encouragement with ideas to try. Hugs and Blessings,ReplyCancel

You are such a great inspiration. I’m glad you’re making your home surgery friendly now. Your creativity will help pass the time while you are recuperating.

    Your card is devine. Love the color palette and that butterfly and butterfly sentiment go so perfectly together. Very cool! I have a significant investment in dies, stamps, paper, and embelishments and would love to use them more so that I felt I was getting my money’s worth out of them. I am one who is slightly intimidated by submitting my work, but I could definitely use a nudge. So I would like a challenge. Count me in if you decide to do it.

    I am sure the surgery will be the best thing and over before you know it – as well as the rehab afterwards! Will send healing light!
    The idea of posting our projects is great, photography is not my forte and uploading might need a bit of instruction – I am not a luddite regards using my computer … just need some instruction and advice – would you help me/us with that? P.S. The sponsor sounds a great idea – hopefully this would burden you less with the implementation of the idea.
    As usual you are a STAR!ReplyCancel

  • Kathy SFebruary 3, 2012 - 12:25 am

    as I continually say I would love you to help me spread my wings and think outside the box- am in the middle of redoing my craft space and am limiting what i commit to until it’s done but would love your challenges as long as they aren’t too hardReplyCancel

  • nadineFebruary 3, 2012 - 1:05 am

    love the colour and butterflyReplyCancel

  • MaryannFebruary 3, 2012 - 1:44 am

    Oh boy another beautiful creation here Becca. You´re sooo clever to make these combinations with your dies and realy get the most out of them. It´s awesome work hun.
    So glad to hear, that you´re getting your house sorted before the surgery, so things are easy on you then. Do you know yet, when the surgery will be? I wish you all the best of luck with it and a very speedy recovery too, and hope, it´ll be a tremendous relief, when it´s done. I´ll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers, that´s for sure.
    Aboout the challenges I think you shall go for it, if it´s not too much for you at the moment?? I love the idea, but don´t want you to take more on your shoulders, than you can take okay? But you can always ask us for help too, if you need that, I hope, you know that??? I would be more than happy to help, if there´s anything I can do to help you. I love the thought, that it´s not a competition, cause it would leave many out, because they don´t feel their work is good enough for that, and that´s a big same, as we can all learn so much of each other and get great ideas even from the youngest newbie, that´s for sure.
    You are always so thoughtful to all others Becca, but you have to think of yourself first right now and be sure, you have the energy for this before you do it okay? We don´t want it to get too hard on you.
    Have a wonderful week-end and lots of crafty fun.ReplyCancel

  • Trish AveryFebruary 3, 2012 - 3:23 am

    Hi Becca, love this card, the stamp and the butterfly just go together so well.
    About the challenge I think its a wonderful idea if you are up to it. What an experience you are thinking of giving us.
    Hugs Trish.ReplyCancel

  • ColleenB.February 3, 2012 - 4:31 am

    Another Gorgeous card. Really like the color combination and the way you used that crystal garland embellishment and of course love the butterfly. I have some of that laying around……….someplace. I just need to find it.

    Congratulations on your house project! It will make life easier after surgery for sure! Like your challenge idea also, and of course, your amazing card.
    Have had foot surgery on both feet, so hope all goes well for you!ReplyCancel

  • mamajulieFebruary 3, 2012 - 6:43 am

    Surgery is never fun, but mobility is essential. Prayers and encouragement for your recovery. It’s genius to plan ahead and get the house ready before the surgery. My issue is photographing the cards/items I make. I have seen several people’s “set-up” of small areas with spotlights, etc. but have no room. Can a decent photo be taken in just sunlight?ReplyCancel

  • JudyFebruary 3, 2012 - 6:51 am

    Hi Becca, your postings are always interesting and your card uploads are always “over the top.” Glad to hear that you are making some changes in your house to accomodate your foot and when it comes time for surgery, I wish you the best of luck. I’m all for challenges and would definitely enjoy entering some of them, at least the ones that spark my interest.ReplyCancel

  • Pam PFebruary 3, 2012 - 6:52 am

    Another gorgeous card, whatever you touch you make it into something beautiful, what a wonderful talent you have and the best part of it all is that you share your talent with us. Thanks again Becca.ReplyCancel

  • Katherine LawsonFebruary 3, 2012 - 7:04 am

    Beautiful card Becca, and I love the saying. That saying would be perfect to send to someone in so many circumstances.

    I hope your surgery goes well, my DL is going to have foot surgery in a couple of weeks, so we will probably go out and help take care of the GC until she can get around again. Hard to take care of 3, 5 and 7 YOs while you are laid up! Anyway, I will be thinking of you and hoping you aren’t laid up too long.

    I would love to see a “play along” on your blog, you inspire so many of us, and I think we would all have fun with it!ReplyCancel

  • Caryn S.February 3, 2012 - 7:44 am

    I think I certainly would be interested in seeing the creations of others (although I’m not sure I would participate myself, still too intimidated!).

    Your card today is beautiful as usual. I love the MME paper you used for the background, what collection is that?ReplyCancel

  • Susi KFebruary 3, 2012 - 7:46 am

    Another fabulous creation, Becca. Love the soothing colours and that ‘twiggy’ element you added to your luscious bow/ribbon treatment! Your card makes me so happy that I have those beautiful Moroccan Accent dies on pre-order!ReplyCancel

  • charleneFebruary 3, 2012 - 8:18 am

    I just recently had major surgery and it is life altering.God had His Hand on me. He will do the same for you. God Bless you. I would love to be a involved in a challenge. It would be fun and inspiring.ReplyCancel

  • Cindy ClevengerFebruary 3, 2012 - 8:27 am

    Becca you have a true gift for putting together lovely textured and colored cards. I always love the inspiration you share with us and seeing your work always inspires me to try imbellishments that I have never ever considered before.
    Imagine the possibilities! True challenges can simply be working with what you have to arrive at a similar place.
    My art projects are always a bit strange because I work with different elements but love the challenge idea and if I had the ingredients to play along, time permitting, I would.
    Take care of yourself, Becca as you are most precious to us all!ReplyCancel

  • Gloria WestermanFebruary 3, 2012 - 9:05 am

    Oh Becca you are our wings of creativity and inspiration…….you are my hero!!! And I really do mean that…..you have awaken my creativity within myself….given me hope and encouragement…..when I needed it the most…..I don’t think you realize how you have impact my life….
    I would be honor to play with you……and would play every week…..please….please….do this…..to be able to play with the master is a dream come true for me…..
    I also have knee problems (arthritis) so I know what your going thru….will pray for you to get the things you need to get done before your surgery…ReplyCancel

  • Clarissa DFebruary 3, 2012 - 9:07 am

    Becca your card is beautiful. I wish God’s hand on you during your surgery. The competition sounds like a good idea. I would like to participate in it.ReplyCancel

  • Peggy E.February 3, 2012 - 9:16 am

    In a word, YES!!! I am, as you said, intimidated by competitions but would love to have a place to share some of my (in my own way) favorite inspired cards etc. What a lovely idea~~take the pressure off and make it fun and playful!

    Be encouraged, Becca; Our Heavenly Father is walking right beside you.ReplyCancel

  • JessicaFebruary 3, 2012 - 9:29 am

    Hey Becca, I think the challenge is a good idea. I don’t do a lot of them. Not because I am not proud of my work. It has something to do with ‘having’ to have something ready by a certain day/time. That’s why I’ve never submitted to a mag or the like. I do put my stuff on my blog. (When I remember to take pix!) But I’m not very good at keeping that up to date either. Classic under achiever I guess. lol But I love to see other people’s creations. So I would certainly look and make nice comments about their work. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations, I am always blown away by your creativity and attention to detail! Also, I wish you all the best with the surgery. I’ll pray when you are enduring it all. Be careful on those wood floors. They can be slick. Hugs, JessReplyCancel

  • Judy McMullenFebruary 3, 2012 - 9:55 am

    Go for it, Becca! I’m sure you’ll find a lot of participants!ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisFebruary 3, 2012 - 10:06 am

    Your card is beautiful Becca. Love the colors chosen and I like the whole lay-out of this one just so lovely. You have embellished it so nicely too. I’m rather shy about sharing my work but I would be willing to try. God bless you on your upcoming surgery. I hope you decorate your little scooter and show it to us at least it would be fun to ride around on if it is decorated. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • CindyKFebruary 3, 2012 - 10:24 am

    As usual a beautiful card Becca! I love the color blue, so I am especially fond of it for that reason.
    As far as posting photos of creations, I think it’s a wonderful idea, but personally I come to your blog to see YOUR creations. It inspires me tremendously. I would never post a photo, just because it’s hard for me with the set up I have. But if you choose to do this it won’t stop me from coming! Good luck with it all, and with your home changes!ReplyCancel

  • Beth PFebruary 3, 2012 - 10:26 am

    Becca, absolutely count me in! Since you instilled the courage in me to apply for, and get two DT positions I am not as afraid anymore! Playing in a challenge hosted by you would be fabulous!!
    Hugs,
    Beth PReplyCancel

  • BernieFebruary 3, 2012 - 10:44 am

    As always your card is stunningly beautiful. Great idea making your home and studio accessible now. I hope you are having help moving your furniture and studio, wouldn’t want you hurting yourself. Praying all will go well but Please do let us know when you actually are having the surgery. It would also be wonderful if you could get someone to update us on how you are doing after it’s over.
    My crafting time is limited but I’d love to Play Along if I can meet the requirements. I can’t afford all the wonderful new things that come on the market. What I do buy must be versatile, timeless and most importantly be on sale. I only have a few Spellbinders and punches and nearly all my stamps are previously loved.
    Blessings BernieReplyCancel

  • sheri sFebruary 3, 2012 - 10:46 am

    Found today’s post quite interesting. It would be fun to participate in posting but unfortunately I don’t know how it is done. Today’s card is quite lovely, tho the colors would not have been my choice. You certainly can take darker colors and work wonders with them. Bringing darker colors into my cards was my challenge this year. (Not having too much luck with that, I find I do not enjoy the time spent as much as I do when working with pastels…so why bother)? In any case, if you were to view one of my cards, you would certainly see how many of your ideas I pirated!!! Just admire your blog so much. Beautiful work!!!ReplyCancel

  • EileenFebruary 3, 2012 - 12:13 pm

    Another simply stunning card, you never cease to amaze me! I hope you enjoy your hard flooring, be careful what you put on your feet incase you slip….and pleased you are thinking ahead and moving your studio to be near you. We have just spent two years renovating the whole house and garden, we had every conceivable workmen in and are really pleased with the end result, hope you will be too with your planned changes.
    I am not computer literate, so I will be unable to join your new venture but I will certainly enjoy seeing everyone elses work.
    Hope your surgery goes to plan and you have a speedy recovery.
    LOL EileenReplyCancel

  • julie F.February 3, 2012 - 1:04 pm

    Been there, done that, and in the process of the flooring like you are going to do. The foot surgery is debilitating, I got one of those walkers at a thrift store and it was a life saver. I absolutely love all your elegant creations Becca, and may you have a very speedy recovery.ReplyCancel

  • Terri SFebruary 3, 2012 - 2:22 pm

    We changed out from carpet to hardwood floors a few years ago and I love it! Will certainly make mobility easier while you recoup! This card is just so beautiful (as usual) and I love the sentiment!ReplyCancel

  • RockyFebruary 3, 2012 - 2:26 pm

    Your creations always spur me on, especially if my mojo has faded. It would be great to have a ‘no pressure’ challenge. All I ask is would you be able to tell the less blog literate, like me, how to add sidebar buttons and that kind of thing. I’d appreciate the help.ReplyCancel

  • Sherry KushibabFebruary 3, 2012 - 3:06 pm

    Love that poem and what soft and serene colors you have chosen. Just beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • Rhonda ZFebruary 3, 2012 - 3:59 pm

    Your card is beautiful, as always. I love your blog. I might be tempted to share my work but, I do not know how to do that.ReplyCancel

  • Debbie BFebruary 3, 2012 - 5:39 pm

    I like your idea but do we have to have a blog to be able to participate. I would love your input on how I could make my creations more elegant and beautiful like yours. Thank you soooo much for thinking of us and bringing us along for the ride of your life. Prayers go up for you every day!ReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisFebruary 3, 2012 - 5:57 pm

    Hi Becca, First I love this card of yours and you are right…I, too, do not use a lot of the embellishments I have. I think about how much extra it will cost in mailing these extra special cards. Right now it is $1.70 for one card with a bow and maybe a few pearls. So, I hand deliver the really ornate ones. As far as your blog lovers, lol. I, too would love to be a part of learning more from each others efforts. There is the thing of learning how to upload my pictures from my new camera to the computer then on to your site. I get so busy, the learning curve to doing these things is what I am impatient with. Bless you for caring about us … I am looking forward to how this all pans out, Lord willing.ReplyCancel

  • Debbie EricksonFebruary 3, 2012 - 6:30 pm

    You are such an inspiration. Today’s card is “Becca beautiful”, as usual!
    I don’t have the experience to put my cards on the web, but will be thrilled to see others’ work. As so many have said, take care of yourself first, then expand as you have the energy. I’ll be praying for your surgery’s success and recovery.ReplyCancel

  • LynneZFebruary 3, 2012 - 6:30 pm

    I have never played along and put my work out there in blogland, but I think I would like to try! Sounds like fun!ReplyCancel

    Hope you are back on your feet again real soon. (No pun intended.) I would love to start a blog of my own someday and also start entering challenges. I have browsed the web looking for cardmaking blogs over the past year or so and there are literally hundreds and probably thousands of these blogs out there. It’s mind boggling.ReplyCancel

Good morning blog friends!!!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs February Release Blog Hop!  Now, if you got here from Grace’s amazing blog, you are in the right place!  If not, you might want to start at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog and hop from there!  If you encounter any broken links – the entire hop list is posted on the ODBD Blog :-) There are lots of goodies in store for you with the new release – you can see them all HERE.


For my card today I thought to touch purple again.  I have to say that purple is growing on me :-)  This is a little bit of an unconventional card, but I wanted to use the new wings from Spellbinders™ Wings of Hope as an embellishment on my bow.  For the focal point on the card I used Spellbinders™ Grand Dahlia and in the center I layered Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four, added Spellbinders™ Postage Stamp then added the sentiment cut with  Spellbinders™ Classic Rectangles LG.  I love to overstamp, so I overstamped the new Our Daily Bread Designs background stamp called It Is Well With My Soul music background on top of my design paper.  Then for my sentiment I used a small one from The Sea.

 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – The Sea, It is Well With My Soul Background
Paper: Die Cuts with a View – Chateau Lavender (Joann’s), Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four, Spellbinders™ Postage Stamp, Spellbinders™ Wings of Hope. Spellbinders™ Classic Rectangles LG, Spellbinders™ Grand Dahlia, silk ribbon

Hop Particulars:
The Hop will run from 8:00 am Eastern Time on February 1st until 8:00 pm Eastern Time on February 2nd. The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on February 3rd.  For this special event, there will be FOUR PRIZES  – a free set of your choice of ODBD stamps and the big prize is a Bread Basket Bundle!

How to Enter the Drawing:
*Leave comments for each designer on each blog.
*Return to the ODBD Blog and leave a comment, telling us you completed the hop and there’s a question for you to answer.
*Note any blogs you were unable to comment on.

Your Next Stop:
Lots of great eye candy to see today!!  To move on, your next stop is with my super sweet design teammate Chris Olsen!

Yesterday someone pointed out to me that a team was at the Spellbinders™ booth at CHA taping a show and they were showing off the crown that I made as a part of the blog frenzy.  When I shot pictures, I used red velvet as a backdrop, I wanted to give it an air of richness, but I’m not really sure I accomplished that.  Anyways, if you want to see how the crown really looks, check out this 1 minute video over at Paperclipping.com.  Don’t tarry though, there are so many good CHA videos over there.  I wound up checking out the new products and now it’s too late to turn the want monster off, lol!!   Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I’ll see you soon!!

    Becca I really love this card! It makes me think of my sister as she loves purple! Love those angel wings too. You are just so creative and pull things together so well. I have always wondered if when you sit down to create a card if you choose the spellbinders you want to use and then pull the paper. I have not made that many cards and wonder how you sit and pull it all together. What steps do you use when creating? Anyway, love this card!ReplyCancel

  • Lindyloo, South Wales, UKFebruary 1, 2012 - 8:07 pm

    Hi again Becca, I hope you are well.
    Todays card is a tower of achievement in my eyes, as you have again used shades of purple and with a magnificient result. The added rich cream and hint of green give it a soft country garden look (think Pride & Prejudice and fabric prints from the house of ‘Laura Ashley’ ). This soft vintage chic is so big now and looking at your card you can see why, it is delicate, feminine and adorable.
    As I was unable to comment yesterday (though I have commented now), I would like to say that you should not feel embarassed or any other negative feeling for that matter, with regard to your latest and possible future business ventures. You have given to your followers every day through your blog, with your creations, tutorials, information and multiple candy giveaways. To now, be able to recognise your dreams and prayers is something to be pleased with and to push forward with continually.
    You were given these talents and you have used them graciously and generously and now it is your turn to see this form of generosity and graciousness in others around and for you.
    If I could acquire one of your bowmakers I would do so immediately as it is a wonderful piece of kit to own, but also to show you that your generosity has not gone unnoticed or without appreciation.
    I pray God will continue to bless you and provide you with joy abounding this year.
    Take care of yourself LindaReplyCancel

    Hi Becca~

    This is beautiful, so delicate. I love the color choices you used…beautiful and soft. I love the wings with the bow…I am sure that will be a very popular look…(as everyone will be copying you!) I love how you have lightly stamped the music on the background sheet. I didn’t see it, until I read about it. Now, I see it clearly when I look at the card. I love the leaves and vines. I love this layered look…it is amazing.

    This is a piece to be proud of. And, as far as purple…it is the color of royalty…as in the King of Kings!

    He IS Able!

Your life is truly a testimony of God’s faithfulness. So love your card today. Your ability to layer die cuts and stamping is truly amazing and that is why you have been on of my inspiration cardmakers for a few years. Your name is in my sidebar on my blog. Yes, I might not always comment and haven’t visited since the fall, but I know that here is where creativity is just waiting to inspire me. Thanks for sharing this beauty today and for always inspiring. Hugs.ReplyCancel

  • EveleneFebruary 2, 2012 - 12:46 am

    This is another piece of your artistic brilliance and savvy. I so love the lavander dahlia die cut into two sizes and stack together that I right away tried to do the same thing with my Spellbinders Blossoms Two, but it didn’t turn out as nice and gorgeous as this one. Oh, I feel the urge to get the Grand Dahlia die the minute I saw this card, Becca.ReplyCancel

  • Rebecca SlocumFebruary 2, 2012 - 8:25 pm

    Dear Becca, Your blog is my daily inspiration for my creativity. I usually evaluate your cards to see if I can get close to something like it, (usually not!). But even when I think I can, individuality always gets in the way. Seeing others’ variations on a them is even more inspiring, so I think sharing what your blog followers are doing with your ideas would be a hoot. I know I would enjoy seeing it, because all YOUR blog followers are terrific, talented and sweet ladies!
    On another note, I tried to follow the blog hop, but ran into logistical issues. Also, I got so involved and side-tracked with all the wonderful blogs, I was in blog heaven. I had fun anyway. Thankx
