Hi there blog friends! What a glorious way to start the week! I’ve had a little burst of creative energy and this week, so much so that I’ve had to have a little pad of paper at my workbench to write the ideas down. Yep, this morning I was up an at it early, and followed my creative muse down a tangent that will become a tutorial later on this week. But in the mean time, I got a nice little surprise as I sat down for a cup of tea . . .
Last week when I was in Sam’s Club, I picked one of my favorite magazines up on my way out the door. When I sat down to flip through this morning, I happened upon something I made!! You all remember that design? Yes, it went to CHA last summer and I knew a publisher wanted it, but I never knew it had been published. In this issue they mention Spellbinders, but really, it was little ole’ me. This is a bit of an atta girl moment for me. Since it doesn’t happen too often, I hope you don’t mind me sharing it with you.
Well, honestly, back to my now, cold tea! By the way, I’m working on tutorials today. I’m trying to schedule them when I can show new die templates so keep your eyes open for new things from me. In the mean time, I’ll be back later on this evening with a blog candy winner.
Congratulations Becca!!!!! I’m really pleased for you and it’s so well deserved, but still a lovely surprise. We all know it’s your work :)
Hugs Debbi xReplyCancel
Congratulations Becca, what a wonderful surprise to wake up to! You definitely deserve to be published!ReplyCancel

Congratulations and your project is so unique and special.I will be on the lookout for the magazine for an up close at it.ReplyCancel

Oh, how exciting for you, Becca! Congratulations. I received my copy in the mail the other day but haven’t opened it yet. Now I’ll really having something extra special to look forward to. So here’s another ‘atta girl’ to add to your collection!ReplyCancel

Hurray for you. Of course it is lovely. We all need the little pats on the back every now and then. It is good you get them……you do deserve all the compliments.

Hi Becca,
I saw this the day before yesterday and I thought it was stunning. The picture I saw was of your beautiful wreath hanging from a matching ribbon and big bow in a setting that looked like the outdoors (not sure where I am sorry to say). Maybe you can remember who else published it; It did have your name attached to it.
Anyway, it is so beautiful, I think it would be perfect for aisle settings at a wedding instead of using flowers or bows. Plus you could make individual cones to be used for confetti and even favours.
Have a good day. Hope you are well

SueJanuary 16, 2012 - 1:20 pm
WOW Becca, you are published now! Congratulations you deserve it, you do such beautiful designs! That lacey doily is just gorgeous! I wonder why they didn’t tell you it was going to be featured in their magazine?ReplyCancel
LalaJanuary 16, 2012 - 1:21 pm
Hi Becca, Congratulations to you! Of course it comes as no surprise to us, your blog friends that you were published. In my humble opinion everything that you do is worthy of publication. Have a great day, and enjoy the moment!ReplyCancel

Sweetest Becca, I hope you know that every single day you deserve those “atta girl” pats. YOU are AMAZING. Yours is the first email i open every day to be inspired and awed by the gifts and talents you share. Your spiritual strength comes through your work as a pure physical manifestation of your discipleship of Christ.
What a testimony you must have to be able to create such heavenly gifts for us mere mortals. I thank you for your generosity of spirit and kindness of heart. You have given us so much more than you will ever be aware of.
God Bless you for being the AMAZING BECCA.ReplyCancel

Not the least bit surprised! Well, actually I am surprised that more of your beautiful creations aren’t published more often. You are definitely the most talented paper crafter I know.

It does not surprise me that you got published but only that they didn’t give you a heads up on it. Anyway, if it were me I would be grinning ear to ear. It gives such a sense of self satisfaction that all the work and effort paid of with a compliment like getting published. I have seen your work in JustRite catalogs with each design beautiful…camera perfect. Enjoy another cup of tea for the new adventure coming!ReplyCancel

Becca,
Awesome! I keep telling you- you need to publish a book! Dear lady, your work is a,gift! I wouls be first in line to buy your book.
Here’s the formula:
A scripture of inspiration
A card or paper project influenced by the message
How to instructions and Becca Bits
A daily Becca message!
I can see it now! What a wonderful praise to our Creator!
You deserve more than an ‘atta girl’ ! Oddly enough, I think if I were to see a creation in a magazine without credit going to you, I would still know it was yours. Your distinctive style and flawless execution of any project, holds you in high ranking. And your readers are so blessed that you share all that you do, with us. You go girl!ReplyCancel
Barb GhigliottyJanuary 16, 2012 - 2:36 pm

RIGHT ON, GAL!!!!! From what I can see in this post, Better Homes and Gardens is the publisher. Shame is theirs if they did not give you credit for your work. If Spellbinders paid for an advertisment of their product, even they should have acknowledged the artist. Fabulous work! Anyway, I am toasting you now with my cup of tea! Congratulations!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel
Becca,
Congratulations! And, like everything you make, it is GORGEOUS!!!ReplyCancel
JoanneJanuary 16, 2012 - 3:08 pm

Pam B.January 16, 2012 - 3:08 pm
Hi Becca, personally I think you should have your very own column or page in one of those crafting magazines and be a contributing writer.
Your work is so amazing, awesome and spectacular and I for one have learned so much from you. I do hope one of these days a major publication recognizes your creative abilities and hires you to create and design for their readers. CONGRATULATIONS, you deserve and earned that recognition in Scrapbooks Etc, even though they only mentioned Spellbinders. Way to go Becca :) :)ReplyCancel
sandyhJanuary 16, 2012 - 3:22 pm

The creation of little ole’ you really makes that one beautiful inspirational magazine page. Trust me when I say it will sell lots of magazines. Why you ask? Because I have a vast amount of experience at buying magazines, just because I saw one picture while flipping through that said to me, you gotta have this for future reference.!! Becca, Congratulations and I know there will be many more published works in your future!! As far as I am concerned, you have enough already for your own book!!ReplyCancel
AndreaJanuary 16, 2012 - 6:14 pm
Congratulations Becca I am suprised that you have never been published before your designes are just wonderful and they all should be publised. Did you ever think of publishing a book with your card designs you should I know I would buy it.
Congratulations, Becca! What a beautiful project!ReplyCancel
Sally-Ann (From Down Under)January 16, 2012 - 6:23 pm
This is so lovely. I saw this little Beauty when I went through your Blog – yep! from the Beginning right up to the present day – it was so worth every minute. Great to have a cuppa (or several) with!
What can we, “Becca’s Bees” (as I euphemistically call myself and others) do to encourage you to publish? We’d all be lined up waiting for whatever you do … you could so do this Becca!ReplyCancel
CherylQuiltsJanuary 16, 2012 - 6:29 pm
I agree with others above…I’m totally surprised you’ve not been published before…you are AMAZING!!! You go, girl!! This is gorgeous, and I want a tutorial…I have the dies! Hugs, CherylReplyCancel
Wendy AJanuary 16, 2012 - 6:35 pm
I agree with Sally Ann from down under, I would definitely purchase a book if you published one. Many of my friends are thrilled with the cards I make using your inspiration and wonder where I get the ideas from. I have sent them your website link and I think they would love to have a book to be inspired by too. I love your work, it is so beautiful and I think Spellbinders must love how well you use their product. Thank you so much, wishing you well in whatever endeavor you do.ReplyCancel
Debbie BJanuary 16, 2012 - 6:35 pm
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! That looks like something you would do. It is beautiful. Keep the inspiration coming. Hope this day finds you feeling better.ReplyCancel
Congratulations, Becca!! And, by the way, I’ve neglected to let you know how much I love your ‘new’ style of tutortials….I realized the new equipmement has a lot to do with how it shows, however, nothing can take credit for your presence and skills, but you and God…..so kuddos to you both.ReplyCancel

Marlene IacuzziJanuary 16, 2012 - 9:19 pm
I can’t abide Spellbinders not giving you the credit for your design. What’s going on there. Seems like exploitation to me. Certainly they have some say in what goes into a magazine, when it is their product.
Edited to add by Becca: Marlene, no fault of Spellbinders, just circumstance, but nothing bad going on there. It was just the way the magazine listed it and I probably had to levy the stipulation that it carry my name. I didn’t do that, it’s not something that bothers me. Hugs BeccaReplyCancel
This certainly doesn’t surprise me. Your talent needs to be shown-world wide. With all your beautiful creations, you certainly could produce several books of all your beautiful cards and hybrids- along with picture tutorials. Congratulations on your recognition. I’m sure it’s just the beginning!

Hi Becca, I saw this ad in the magazine and immediately recognized it as your work. But when I looked for some recognition of you, there was none…only Spellbinders. I was so disappointed that they didn’t give you credit for it. Sure thought it was dirty pool. I think Scrapbooks Etc. and Spellbinders should have a slap on the knuckles!ReplyCancel

Marcie SmithJanuary 17, 2012 - 1:31 am
I am very excited for you, but really disappointed that credit was not. It is suprising that you don’t appear like in every other page considering all the creative projects you come up with time after time. Don’t you usually have to submit something for publication??? Do you do that Becca? If not, you should. Your talents are so far superior to most that I see that actually do get published. But what ever the case, it has got to feel really special to flip open a magazine, and realize that it is your work staring up at you. Congrats.

Congratulations Becca!!
As all the other “Becca Bees” ( Sally-Ann comment) have said before me, we are all thinking the same thing…why aren’t you published every day. Your work is amazing!
In one of the comments someone mentioned your engineering mind, that is absolutely right, your attention to detail, depth and alignment are second to none.
Bravo girl, many more to come.

Don’t forget that you still have time to enter at the blogs listed on the Spellbinders blog.
Thank you! Spellbinders™ Paper Arts is absolutely thrilled to bring you our largest product releases ever!

Win today’s new Spellbinders products!
Be eligible to win the Grand Prize by entering each day, see the schedule below!
Enter my Blog Frenzy from 12:00 am Eastern Standard Time (EST) January 13, 2012 until 11:59 pm January 14, 2012.
See the Spellbinders Blog for the complete schedule of designers and contest rules. Thank you Spellbinders Paper Arts for sponsoring this contest!
There’s a little princess in each and every one of us, wanting to get out. Some days we’re the princess of quite a lot, sometimes we’re a princess because people love us, sometimes we’re a princess because we need a boost and being a princess makes us feel nice. Today, you’re the princess and I have your crown and magic wand ready! I was inspired by a whimsical play tiara that my sister gave me – it lives in my craft room. She put it on me to make me smile on the day we took my blog picture above. Every now and again when mojo seems to have left me, I sneak in and put it on!! From the first moment I saw Spellbinders S5-078 Persian Accents and Spellbinders S5-079 Persian Motifs, I thought the border looked like a tiara. Each element looks both vintage and regal. Each piece is delightfully filigreed and easily stackable with so many different options. I have several close up shots so that you can see the beautiful detail on each die template!!
The wand is very light with ribbon streamers and uses foil, cardstock and decorative pearls and bling. It’s essentially a medallion, and the back layer is flat and was cut from the foil.
The medallion I created for the wand has the same layers as the medallion that forms the central peak of the crown.
The layers on the crown are less than 1/2″ and is able to sit flatly on a wire base which you can see above. Below is one last close up for detail.
Here are the new dies I introduced:
My second project had to have pink!! I’ve created a dimensional envelope to house a small card and have created a bag with a vertical belly band as an accessory. I’ll be teaching you how to make this ensemble today.
Below is a picture of the opened envelope with the card inside.
Below is a view of the small card sitting on the entirely opened envelope.
Below is a picture of the accessory gift bag with vertical belly band.
I’ve put together a video below to show how I made the ensemble here is the link:

Oh Becca, my niece would lose her mind over this set! She’s coming down in a couple of weeks to be a “Princess” at Disney. Of course, she’d probably be pretty rough on it…although maybe not…I gave her some Princess stuff last year and she’s kept it almost pristine! Anyhow, that’s not what I started out to tell you…This is incredible and I’m sooo glad that you finally got to share it. Darn it, now I’m gonna need to add this one to the list. Seems to me that you always get the best ones!!!

Hopeing you will answer my question. THANK-YOU in advance……..ReplyCancel

I just made a beautiful card that a friend saw on my blog and purchased. I always like to add a little surprise and I think this gift bag would be great!

“Oh, my sainted aunt!”ReplyCancel
Becca, your work really is so graceful. I love every single detail you put in all of your projects. I really love your work. You are really one amazing and creative lady. Your work inspires me. Thanks for sharing and Much crafty love,
Wow, a post of beauty! I have never seen a more beautiful crown and wand than the one you created! Your pink projects are so pretty! I know that I’m late for the post, but I just had to tell you that your talent and imagination is totally stunning and amazing!ReplyCancel
Hi there blog friends. First of all welcome to Day 7 of JustRite Stampers release!! It’s no small secret that I’ve been loving the new die templates and the matching stamps that were designed to accompany them. I hope you love them too! Today brings another new cling set – with a theme!! This one is called Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two and it just makes you feel like you’re right down on the coast ;-) I love that the stamp says “Free Rides”. I knew I wanted to have burlap on the card so I had a piece that I had already unraveled, then I decided to make one of those rolled roses.
Wow! What a great looking card. Love the burlap flower and all the textural elements, colors. The seahorse stamps is fabulous – I have to get that one.ReplyCancel
This is LUSCIOUS, Becca. I love time spent “down da shore”, my toes curled warm in the sand and cooled by the rush of an incoming wave, half asleep in the sun, lulled there by the steady roll of the tides and the playful chatter of babies nearby and seagulls wanting to share our lunch. Sit back, and I can feel the sun on my cheeks.
Makes me long for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I WISH I could get a group of 4 or 5 papercrafters to share a beach rental with me … spending a week crafting by the pool or painting on the beach. HEAVEN!! Want in?
BEAUTIFUL Becca!!!!!!!!! That Burlap goes WONDERFULLY with that stamp! With the Textured background behind the little seahorse! :) JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel
Absolutely gorgeous….love the burlap that is so different from the norm.
You are the BEST!ReplyCancel
EileenJanuary 11, 2012 - 9:42 am
I love this card. The flower is beautiful and the stamp is gorgeous! Yet again you have so much detail on the card and set it all out beautifully. The Standard Circle is a wonderful background for the rest of the nestabilities and allows them to stand proud of the card. Another Masterpiece by Becca!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
LOL EileenReplyCancel
WOW — even with a ‘different’ from the norm stamp and non-elegant burlap, you still come up with a beautifully classy and simply amazing card, Becca! That BG burlap strip and your gorgeous flower are the perfect compliments to the stamp’s rope & border & your masterful layering of fabulous dies — you continually surprise and amaze me!!!ReplyCancel
This stamp is adorable! I immediately glanced at the card, then scrolled back up to see who’s stamp that was! I love Just Rite, but I think this is a different style stamp for them! I really have to have a good look at this new set and adjust my budget!ReplyCancel
Kathy OJanuary 11, 2012 - 10:46 am
Great card, Becca! I love the Free Rides stamp! I really like the variety of textures and monochromatic colors!ReplyCancel
What a fantastic card. I am no longer surprised but still amazed by your creativity. Only you can make burlap look so elegant. What a great set. I must say I love how you and all your teamies have used this set. Inspiration overload!

Congratulations Becca, what a wonderful surprise to wake up to! You definitely deserve to be published!
Congratulations and your project is so unique and special.I will be on the lookout for the magazine for an up close at it.
Oh, how exciting for you, Becca! Congratulations. I received my copy in the mail the other day but haven’t opened it yet. Now I’ll really having something extra special to look forward to. So here’s another ‘atta girl’ to add to your collection!
Hurray for you. Of course it is lovely. We all need the little pats on the back every now and then. It is good you get them……you do deserve all the compliments.
Lauren
Congratulations! I hope they gave you the credit…
Hi Becca,
I saw this the day before yesterday and I thought it was stunning. The picture I saw was of your beautiful wreath hanging from a matching ribbon and big bow in a setting that looked like the outdoors (not sure where I am sorry to say). Maybe you can remember who else published it; It did have your name attached to it.
Anyway, it is so beautiful, I think it would be perfect for aisle settings at a wedding instead of using flowers or bows. Plus you could make individual cones to be used for confetti and even favours.
Have a good day. Hope you are well
Linda
WOW Becca, you are published now! Congratulations you deserve it, you do such beautiful designs! That lacey doily is just gorgeous! I wonder why they didn’t tell you it was going to be featured in their magazine?
Hi Becca, Congratulations to you! Of course it comes as no surprise to us, your blog friends that you were published. In my humble opinion everything that you do is worthy of publication. Have a great day, and enjoy the moment!
Oh Becca, I am going to be so broke, you keep posting so many beautiful things, I have to buy more spellbinders LOL, these last three are so AWESOME, THANKS FOR SHAREING<
God Bless, Diane
Congratulations!!!! Your work deserves to be displayed!!! Enjoy your glory.
Wished I could get that magazine here, so well deserved!!
Can’t wait for your next tutorial. I hope your creative muse keeps singing, – it’s always so wonderful when that happens…
Congrats to you. Well deserved!!!
Sweetest Becca, I hope you know that every single day you deserve those “atta girl” pats. YOU are AMAZING. Yours is the first email i open every day to be inspired and awed by the gifts and talents you share. Your spiritual strength comes through your work as a pure physical manifestation of your discipleship of Christ.
What a testimony you must have to be able to create such heavenly gifts for us mere mortals. I thank you for your generosity of spirit and kindness of heart. You have given us so much more than you will ever be aware of.
God Bless you for being the AMAZING BECCA.
Congrats Becca! I’m just surprised you aren’t published constantly because I think your work is awe inspiring and I enjoy the fact that you share how you made it with us. Thank you.
Oh Becca, I am really hoping that you are doing a tutorial on how to color between the dies….and I am so glad that you were published….Big hugs from Nebraska and enjoy your moment of “fame”….LOL

Hooray for you, Becca! Sure wish they had given you credit. I’ll have to go check it out.

Stand up and take a bow, Becca. You may not hear us, but we’re all applauding as loud as we can; indeed it’s a standing ovation. Thrilled to pieces that your genius is recognised and circulated widely. Congratulations.
I am off to look for it! You should have your own magazine, you are the most talented person ever!!
CONGRATULATIONS hun, I´m sure surprised, it doesn´t happen more often, as all your designs and ideas are sooooo awesome and sure deserve to be seen of everybody all over the world. You´re inspiring sooo many people all the time, that you deserved to be published in all magazines made. I´m soo happy for you, that you finally were and I hope, it´ll happen much more often in the future now, that some have got their eyes opened for your brilliant design.

Not the least bit surprised! Well, actually I am surprised that more of your beautiful creations aren’t published more often. You are definitely the most talented paper crafter I know. You have the mind of an engineer that can do things with paper the average mind would never imagine. I’m so happy you opened the magazine, saw your beautiful work and that it made you smile. Readinig this post made all of your fans smile too!
a very big CONGRATS!!!!!!!! all your work is AMAZING…..can you show the page?????? please…..this is sooooooo exciting
Congratulations!! I am not surprised that they wanted to publish your work,You are such an inspiration, not only for your incredible projects. tutorials and instructional videlos but also for your kind and generous heart.. I think it is time for a Becca Book!! sign me up!!!
Congrats to you Becca, I will pick up a copy first chance I get. Always look forward to that magazine myself. Thanks for sharing. Dianne
Congrats. I so enjoy following your talent and love your upbeat presentations. Good job.(One tea drinker to another:) You deserve a warm cup of tea, as well. :)
It does not surprise me that you got published but only that they didn’t give you a heads up on it. Anyway, if it were me I would be grinning ear to ear. It gives such a sense of self satisfaction that all the work and effort paid of with a compliment like getting published. I have seen your work in JustRite catalogs with each design beautiful…camera perfect. Enjoy another cup of tea for the new adventure coming!
Congratulations, Becca! I’m truly surprised that you’re not published more often, Your artwork is very beautiful, professional and inspiring, sometimes alomost intimidating. Thank you for sharing . . .
What a wonderful surprise for you!! Definitely a well deserved accolade with your amazing talents!
Congratulations!! Too bad they didn’t give you the credit for it. Well deserved my friend!!

Becca,
Awesome! I keep telling you- you need to publish a book! Dear lady, your work is a,gift! I wouls be first in line to buy your book.
Here’s the formula:
A scripture of inspiration
A card or paper project influenced by the message
How to instructions and Becca Bits
A daily Becca message!
I can see it now! What a wonderful praise to our Creator!
Tammie
what a nice surprise for you I’m so happy for you
Congratulations,as far as i,am concered all of your creations should make every publications.
Jocelan
It’s beautiful, Becca. You SHOULD be very proud. Atta Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!
Becca,
So happy you are being mentioned. Your designs are bound to increase Spellbinders’ sales. I love your stuff. Congratulations!
Blessings,
Julie
You deserve more than an ‘atta girl’ ! Oddly enough, I think if I were to see a creation in a magazine without credit going to you, I would still know it was yours. Your distinctive style and flawless execution of any project, holds you in high ranking. And your readers are so blessed that you share all that you do, with us. You go girl!
Hi Becca,
I saw your GORGEOUS creation in the magazine, and I was so excited to see the details ~ A huge congrats to you…what a lovely surprise for you, I’m sure!
Have a great day!
absolutely you should let us know, friends always like to see each other succeed
Pat on the back…atta girl! Congratulations! Joyful clapping and a well deserved cheer to you!! Beautiful!
Congratulation!!!! We are so happy for you…..and yes you must do a tutorial oh how you made this….pppllleeeaassseee!!!!!!
Good for you! how exciting it is when your work is recognized! I’ve long been an admirer of your work, but shame on me, have been too lazy to comment! thank you for sharing your creativity with us! and I hope your health improves soon! God bless! karen
you go girl- what a great surprise and Congratulations
aw, Becca, big congrats on being published, that is so very sweet!, and i LOVE your project.
RIGHT ON, GAL!!!!! From what I can see in this post, Better Homes and Gardens is the publisher. Shame is theirs if they did not give you credit for your work. If Spellbinders paid for an advertisment of their product, even they should have acknowledged the artist. Fabulous work! Anyway, I am toasting you now with my cup of tea! Congratulations!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Becca. What a wonderful surprise you recieved today. Your cards are always so beautiful.
Mary
Becca,
Congratulations! And, like everything you make, it is GORGEOUS!!!
Bravo!!! Glad to see your wonderful work being recognized. You are sooo talented….I just love to check out your blog to see your creations. Wish I could create some lovely work, but I do great copies.
Hi Becca, personally I think you should have your very own column or page in one of those crafting magazines and be a contributing writer.
Your work is so amazing, awesome and spectacular and I for one have learned so much from you. I do hope one of these days a major publication recognizes your creative abilities and hires you to create and design for their readers. CONGRATULATIONS, you deserve and earned that recognition in Scrapbooks Etc, even though they only mentioned Spellbinders. Way to go Becca :) :)
what a nice surprise to see your work when you don’t expect it! would be nicer to have it RECOGNIZED as yours! but that’s how companies are….
i know if i see a becca original! lol!
sandyh
Congratulations, Becca!! You ROCK!!!!
What a lovely picture in the magazine. You do beautiful work, Becca, and do deserve a pat on the back for any published work. It is well deserved!!
Way to go Becca! What a find for you. Congratulation!!! I’m not surpirsed though, you work is impeccible and no one designs like you. You share so much of your self through your work, thank you, thank you, thank you.
You have every right to be chuffed. Your work and ideas are just amazing. Congrats.
Congratulations! I have to find that magazine, your piece is just exquisite!
I’m not one bit surprised! They just know talent when they see it, and, Girl, you got it by the bucketfuls!

Congratulations. You deserve it. Edna
Congratulations Becca!! You are so deserving of all the accolades that come your way and more! All of your work is exceptional!! Thank you for sharing!
Becca, your gorgeous work should be published SOMEWHERE every month! I’m so glad we get to see your wonderful creations here on Amazing Paper Grace. Congratulations! Now treat yourself to a cup of HOT tea! tee hee
Hugs, from North Carolina, Harriet
Well you most certainly do deserve this and more! With all the beautiful art you come up with.They should have an amazing grace magazine!
Congrats!!!!! I can’t believe that everything you do isn’t published……..You are amazing!
Any pat on the back you receive is soooo well deserved! I’m glad you could enjoy a bit of the spotlight this morning and I can’t wait for the tutorials. The most recent one I watched was unlike any I have seen before. Ever so professional looking. That’s our Becca!!
Congrats Becca! I hope to one day be published too. It must be very gratifying.
What a happy “atta girl” indeed! Can’t wait for the tutorials :)
I seen this project and thought of you.I said to my self
that has to be Becca . Cool can you pretty please do a tutorial.
Thanks Carolyn
The creation of little ole’ you really makes that one beautiful inspirational magazine page. Trust me when I say it will sell lots of magazines. Why you ask? Because I have a vast amount of experience at buying magazines, just because I saw one picture while flipping through that said to me, you gotta have this for future reference.!! Becca, Congratulations and I know there will be many more published works in your future!! As far as I am concerned, you have enough already for your own book!!
Congratulations Becca I am suprised that you have never been published before your designes are just wonderful and they all should be publised. Did you ever think of publishing a book with your card designs you should I know I would buy it.
Andrea
Congratulations, Becca! What a beautiful project!
This is so lovely. I saw this little Beauty when I went through your Blog – yep! from the Beginning right up to the present day – it was so worth every minute. Great to have a cuppa (or several) with!
What can we, “Becca’s Bees” (as I euphemistically call myself and others) do to encourage you to publish? We’d all be lined up waiting for whatever you do … you could so do this Becca!
I agree with others above…I’m totally surprised you’ve not been published before…you are AMAZING!!! You go, girl!! This is gorgeous, and I want a tutorial…I have the dies! Hugs, Cheryl
I agree with Sally Ann from down under, I would definitely purchase a book if you published one. Many of my friends are thrilled with the cards I make using your inspiration and wonder where I get the ideas from. I have sent them your website link and I think they would love to have a book to be inspired by too. I love your work, it is so beautiful and I think Spellbinders must love how well you use their product. Thank you so much, wishing you well in whatever endeavor you do.
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! That looks like something you would do. It is beautiful. Keep the inspiration coming. Hope this day finds you feeling better.
Congratulation Becca, you deserve it.
Way to go girlfriend!!!
Congratulations, Becca!! And, by the way, I’ve neglected to let you know how much I love your ‘new’ style of tutortials….I realized the new equipmement has a lot to do with how it shows, however, nothing can take credit for your presence and skills, but you and God…..so kuddos to you both.
Congratulations, Becca. I have fallen in love with your creations. Thanks for shaing so much of yourself with us. God bless.
I can’t believe you haven’t been published much…your cards are so beautiful….thanks for sharing them with us and your talent!
Congrats Becca! We all know how talented/gifted you are and everything you do should be published.
Blessings,
Peggy
Yahoo Becca! I do remember that one, thought it was gorgeous then and still think so now. Congrats!

Well Deserved…Congratulations Becca!
Enjoy the compliment of being published. You are.so diserving of this homer. You inspire me everyday.
clap, clap! You deserve to be proud!!
Good for you Becca. I think it is okay to toot your horn once in awhile….. You REALLY do deserve the recognition!!!
I love that wreath. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Way to go Becca!!! Congrats- well deserved!!! I always enjoy your blog, thansk so much for sharing your talent and inspiring so many!
Congratulations Becca! Well deserved and well earned.
Blessings Bernie
I eeewed and awwwed when I saw that in the new issue! So excited to see it was yours! How patient and talented you are. The project is stunning.
I can’t abide Spellbinders not giving you the credit for your design. What’s going on there. Seems like exploitation to me. Certainly they have some say in what goes into a magazine, when it is their product.
Edited to add by Becca: Marlene, no fault of Spellbinders, just circumstance, but nothing bad going on there. It was just the way the magazine listed it and I probably had to levy the stipulation that it carry my name. I didn’t do that, it’s not something that bothers me. Hugs Becca
This certainly doesn’t surprise me. Your talent needs to be shown-world wide. With all your beautiful creations, you certainly could produce several books of all your beautiful cards and hybrids- along with picture tutorials. Congratulations on your recognition. I’m sure it’s just the beginning!
Cindy
Oh my goodness, how exciting…. I have said before… you need to have a book published with all your beautiful work. Congratulations …. God bless…. Denice
YAY Becca!! Congratulations! Beautiful work!
Congratulations, Becca!! That sounds like a sweet surprise, even better than those cookies! You do make gorgeous things, and am glad you were featured and let us know about it!
Hi Becca, I saw this ad in the magazine and immediately recognized it as your work. But when I looked for some recognition of you, there was none…only Spellbinders. I was so disappointed that they didn’t give you credit for it. Sure thought it was dirty pool. I think Scrapbooks Etc. and Spellbinders should have a slap on the knuckles!
Hooray for you Becca. Can’t think of anyone that deserve more kudos than you. Please give us more details.
Congratulations, I am so happy for you. Must of your work should be in there :)
What a surprise! I’m happy for you Becca :-)
Hugs,
Venus
Congratulations Becca! It is such a great feeling to be published! You deserve it!
Rubber Hugs, Sharon
I am very excited for you, but really disappointed that credit was not. It is suprising that you don’t appear like in every other page considering all the creative projects you come up with time after time. Don’t you usually have to submit something for publication??? Do you do that Becca? If not, you should. Your talents are so far superior to most that I see that actually do get published. But what ever the case, it has got to feel really special to flip open a magazine, and realize that it is your work staring up at you. Congrats.

As all the other “Becca Bees” ( Sally-Ann comment) have said before me, we are all thinking the same thing…why aren’t you published every day. Your work is amazing!
In one of the comments someone mentioned your engineering mind, that is absolutely right, your attention to detail, depth and alignment are second to none.
Bravo girl, many more to come.

Wow, so very cool to get published! I can’t believe more of your work hasn’t been, it is all so amazing. I wanted to let you know that I made some of these wreaths for Christmas gifts for family this year and they loved them! I think I shall make it a goal of mine to make a different one of your projects every week! I really love the tutorials you write up-so incredibly helpful to see the step by steps. Congrats again on your publication! You deserve every bit of it.
So happy your gorgeous piece made it into publication so more people can see it- congratulations. It is always so great to see your name and something you have created in a publication! I am anxiously awaiting the tuts you are working on.
Becca, I happened to look through that magazine last week when I got it in the mail (as I got a subscription for Christmas) and saw that design and knew right away it must be you, only you could design something that gorgeous!
Love it!
Well I’ll give ya an atta girl pat on the back. Really way to go.
You’re in my prayers.
You deserve an “atta girl”-take your bow, please.
