. . . oh goodness, I know I’ve been quiet today.  Believe it or not, I was working on another top secret project around here.  Lol, you all are going to have to get a security clearance to come and have a look with all this top secret stuff going on.  Doesn’t that drive you crazy?  You know I love you all!!  Where else can I come and talk about such exciting stuff.   I have a post coming at the end of the week that’ll have you silently nodding and saying ‘uh huh, that makes sense”.   In the meantime, I wanted to toss this little tidbit out there, because you all always let me bask a bit in the warmth of accomplishment! :-)

This is a publication that is now available on the market and I had an ensemble published in there.  It might be harder this time around to figure out which is me . . . but then again, I might just be underestimating your ever so keen, and knowing, eyes!!  Here’s a link to it – Quick and Easy Crafts for Entertaining.

The book actually became available late December, but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to look through.  Some great designers have things here and the projects are all quick and easy (you all have no idea how hard that can be sometimes – ha-ha!!)

I should be back with a project tomorrow but don’t forget the blog candy I currently have going on.  Again, up for grabs, some luscious double sided Prima paper – simply pop over to this post – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/the-best-of-both-blog-candy/.

    Congrads to you Becca!!

    I viewed the pages, and if one of those is you I would say “MENU”

    But I haven’t seen the book but I’ll be looking for it.

    Congrads again…..ReplyCancel

  • Kathy OJanuary 23, 2012 - 9:43 pm

    Congrats, Becca! I, too, looked at the images and would pick “Menu” as your creation, if one of them is yours.

    They are all quite clever, fun, and lovely. I’ll be looking for the magazine.ReplyCancel

  • Carol WJanuary 23, 2012 - 9:45 pm

    Well done! I think it’s wonderful that your beautiful work is being published. I looked at the sample images for the book and my guess would be the white and pink “Menu” collection… But that’s just my little guess.ReplyCancel

  • sandyhJanuary 23, 2012 - 9:46 pm

    i agree that the menu page looks most like you!

  • LalaJanuary 23, 2012 - 11:21 pm

    Well Becca, as I think you are the Queen of Spellbinders I they could publish a book entirely with your creations. Sincere congratulations to you.ReplyCancel

  • Judy I, St. Louis MOJanuary 23, 2012 - 11:35 pm

    Congrats on getting published. I have to agree with Lala – you could definitely write a book of your own creations. You are torturing us with your secrets though. Can’t wait to see what you’re hiding.ReplyCancel

  • ChelseaJanuary 23, 2012 - 11:52 pm

    Congratulations!!! I’m so proud to know your work has been recognized and published!!! BB=Brilliant Becca!!! I will look forward to when you DO publish your own book, filled with ONLY your work. It would sell out out in minutes…
    Anyway, you ROCK, Becca!!ReplyCancel

  • MaryannJanuary 24, 2012 - 1:58 am

    Congratulations hun, that is so cool. I guess on either the princess stuff or the menuset, that is just so your lovely style. I agree with those above, why not make your own book? I would definitely go for it, that´s for sure.
    I ´m soo lookiing forward to see, what your new secret are here later, so exiting Becca, but we know, it´ll be good , when it comes from you.ReplyCancel

  • Christine Harrop, Oxfordshire, UKJanuary 24, 2012 - 2:11 am

    Well done on your entry into the book. My guess is the final one too – the menu set. To me it shrieks “Becca”. You know, we are all going with the same theme here: a book of Becca Creations would go down a storm!!! Your blog friends alone would make it a top seller!!!
    love Christine xxReplyCancel

  • janeyJanuary 24, 2012 - 5:08 am

  • Joan NashJanuary 24, 2012 - 10:37 am

    I am almost possitive I know which one it is!!! It’s the paper and the bows that give it away. Ha Ha. But, I am still oooohhhhing and aaaahhhhing over yesterdays post. So gorgeous.
    MarcieReplyCancel

  • sherisayJanuary 24, 2012 - 11:45 am

    My guess is that MENU is your work. I, too, would most certainly purchase a book of your work—in paper crafting you are tops. So inspiring! Each time I check out “Gallery” on your web page, “Coming Soon” is all that pops up. Are you going to do anything with that option? Many many congratulations on being published. I’m sure there will be many many more of your creations published in the future. Get ready girl, IT HAS BEGUN!ReplyCancel

  • DiannJanuary 24, 2012 - 11:57 am

    It’s the Menu and name plates. No doubt about it, right??
    I am drawn to your style. I love it, and you for sharing with us.ReplyCancel

  • JessicaJanuary 24, 2012 - 12:15 pm

    So I went to check out the new mag. I clicked on the ‘see more’ link and I think your project is the last picure in that list. The ‘Mom” creations. I think I spied a lovely little Becca Bow. I could be wrong, but I haven’t seen the actual mag. Either way, I’ll bet it’s a fantastic project.ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)January 24, 2012 - 1:42 pm

    I too think your entry is the last one. It just seems to have B E C C A written all over it. It lovely. If it is not yours, then some imposter is copying your style and doing a great job at it. Congratulations! I love to see deserving people receive the recognition they deserve.ReplyCancel

  • Marie SellersJanuary 24, 2012 - 2:45 pm

    I think it is the pink and white card and what looks like a placecard. I really like the pink accordion flowers on top of the white lacey thingy.ReplyCancel

  • Kathy SJanuary 24, 2012 - 3:59 pm

    Wow this book looks amazing- and your project has to be the wedding set (shown last in the previews)- who wouldn’t recognize your beautiful work and gorgeous bows!!!!!!ReplyCancel

  • FMJanuary 24, 2012 - 5:05 pm

    Congrats again for being published!!! What fun activities! I think that yours is the last one in the book. They look like your bows!!ReplyCancel

  • RufusJanuary 24, 2012 - 10:38 pm

    Have to agree with what most other folks have said, assuming that yours is in the preview pictures, I’m going with the last one, the menu and place setting set. I went and looked before looking at any of the comments! Congrats on being published, again!!

  • Cindy MFebruary 1, 2012 - 6:48 pm

    Your lovely creations have to be on the last preview page! The items have your elegance and perfect detail touches. Congratulations!!! And I saw another of your Spellbinders creations on the back page of a CARDS magazine. I could tell it was yours before I spied your name is very small print. Your name shouldn’t be in small print….it should be in lights with your creation. : )ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends!  Hoping your Sunday is a glorious one.  I’ve gone a little bit bold today . . .  for a bold friend.  Someone close to me is having a birthday, one of my girlfriends, who is just a hoot!  So I changed up a little bit to go with some power colors for a birthday card for her.    As it were, working with some of the new Spellbinders, this Damask keeps floating to the top – it was designed by my sweet friend Laura Campbell, and I just love it.  I paired it up with a new sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Birthday Blessings.


I took one of the damask die templates (Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs), cut it four times and assembled it into a medallion.  On top of that I popped up Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM.  On the edge I used some lace, Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities and Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, topping it off with the border from Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents set. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs, Birthday Blessings.
Paper: The Paper Company, Neenah Classic Crest Cream
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs,  Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities, Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents, seam binding, clear embossing powder, lace

That’s it for me today, short and sweet!  Don’t forget to weigh in on the blog candy I currently have going on.  Up for grabs, some luscious double sided Prima paper – simply pop over to this post – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/the-best-of-both-blog-candy/. Smooches, y’all!  I’ll see you soon!!

I don’t know where you find all your neat little embellishments that add so much. I’m never lucky but would sure like to win that paper. Thanks for the chance.ReplyCancel

    This is one of the most attractive cards you’ve ever created, Becca. The medallion is simply gorgeous. Every single element is well-laid out.

Hi there blog friends.  Well, I circled back around and tried this again, and I guess the second times a charm.  I wanted to prepare another version of the medallion flower, so this time I put it on a card and made a matching box.  You all were curious, so the tutorial basically shows how you put the medallion together.  Once together, you have options to put it on a box, card or on perhaps a bed of lace for a corsage.


For my sample, I’m using the new JustRite Stampers Shabby Music Background.  It was the inspiration for my box and I extended it to my card for a matching ensemble.

The sentiment is from the new JustRite Stampers With Sympathy set.  It fit perfectly on Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners.


The medallion is made using JustRite Stampers Nested Medallion Labels – custom die templates produced by Spellbinders and is stamped using the new JustRite Stampers set called Starburst Medallion Labels.

Here’s the tutorial showing you how . . .

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Shabby Music Background, Starburst Medallion Labels,  With Sympathy,
Paper: Colorbok, Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream
Ink: Palette – Burnt Umber
Accessories: JustRite Nested Medallion Labels, EK Success Border Punch, Recollections Pearls, Seam Binding,

By the way, several of you asked about my filigree hearts. They are very light weight – made of metal and I purchased them at Michaels :-)  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I’ll see you soon!!
