 
You’re probably wondering where I’ve been. I’m always only a keystroke away however over the last week or so I fought with my computer and the computer won!! Sheesh it’s playing gotcha with me and at this point I’m crying uncle. I may have to wipe out my whole laptop, which I don’t want to do, so we’ll see how it goes. I did take a break from the battle to make a card using one of the new JustRite Stampers Sets called Backyard Birds. 
I used Spellbinders Labels Fifteen as the base for my focal panel and built it up using Lacey Squares and cutting a window with Standard Circles Small. I love the Zva Creative Pearl Circles and in this case they really brighten the focal panel! Everything is colored with Copic Markers. On the inside I mounted a sentiment made by stamping a small portion of one of the borders and cutting it from Spellbinder Tags Five and mounting it on Labels Four.
Such a sweet image!! I’ll be back with more this week :-)

 For my card today I’m using two of the Our Daily Bread Designs new sets – an elegant new frame from the Brocade Borders Set and a quote from the Peace set. I created a card base using the new Spellbinders Grand Labels One. My card measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" square and there were still three more sizes larger. I’m just amazed that with one cut of doubled paper, I could have my whole card base with a decorative edge! On top of my base I layered Spellbinders Lacey Squares and Spellbinders Labels Sixteen.

Your next stop along the way is to visit Angie Crockett!!
I promise, you won’t be disappointed! Angie has a wonderful creation to share with you today. In the meantime, thanks so much for stopping by!!
Hi there, this is what you get when you start out trying to give someone a simple gift and your mind runs away with you, lol!! I have a Starbucks Card for a dear friend of mine and while I was getting it, my gaze wandered over the cardboard cozy holders that you get at both Starbucks and I found out later, Panera Bread. At first I was going to decorate one of the cozy holders and put the gift card inside but then it grew into a book :-) For the decoration I settled on the wonderful Scripture Sets (Set 1, Set 2, Set 3, Set 4 and Series 1) from Our Daily Bread Designs. Below you can see the brown from my gift card peeking out from the first page.
To finish up, I took one of the cozies for a cover. I hid the Panera logo and added a ribbon just to make it a little bit dressy! It was not a complicated project at all and once done I was a little bit proud of my recycling effort. I hope my friend likes it.
Project Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Scripture Sets 1, 2, 3, 4 and Scripture Series 1, Light
Paper: K&Company, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder
Accessories: Slice, Tab Punch, Coffee Cup Cozies, Martha Stewart Border Punches, Binder Rings, Ribbon, Pearls |
Thanks for stopping by!!

Yes I was wondering where you’ve been lately. You are my favorite blog to visit each day and it just doesn’t seem like you have been adding to your blog as often as you were. I was so worried that your husband was having health problems again, so I was quite relieved to know that it was your computer this time, although I do know what a hassle it can be to have to transfer all your “stuff” from one computer to another, or in your case “wipe it all out.” Hope whatever needs to be done, goes smoothly for you.
BEAUTIFUL CARDS. LOVE THE STAMP.
So beautiful……I love it…..I’m also so glad to hear from you…..glad it was computer problems……but that will give you a big head ache……I finally had to ditch my laptop……it just couldn’t keep up with all this blogging and saving stuff……well you might just have to take it to the PC doctor……
This card is absolutely stunning! Surely must be the prettiest one yet! But I was wondering where you got the stand you are displaying it on? I really like it.
Yes!!! I have missed you!!! Boy this card is SO Beautiful!!! I am glad that your absence is not because of health issues…Rats on the Computer problems.
Valerie
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! I LOVE birds anyway!!!! :) The floral paper you used really adds—the way you placed the roses in the corner…GORGEOUS COLORS!!!!
Yes I was wondering about you good to know all is good. Love this card
Beautifull…Stunnig card Becca, I love it and i’m glad to hear from you…I have missed you!
Hi Becca, Oh my goodness I can relate to the computer problems!!!
I have learned the hard way. I invested in a external hard drive to put all my pictures and crafting stuff on. It was worth it, now I have no worries if the computer crashes. It was about $100.00 but oh so worth it. and you can plug it in to any computer. Your cards are beautiful as per usual. I look forward to your blog everyday so when you are not around you are missed. Take care and good luck!!!!
Another amazing and stunning creation! Thanks for blessing my day. I just signed up to follow your blog – it only took me a couple of years. Thank you for blessing my day. :)

Beautiful! as always, do you have the name of the cardstock colors used? loved these colors, tks.
Hi Hon

Beautiful card. Good luck with your computer. I can sympathize with you.

Beautiful card and I love the color combinations you used.
Thanks goodness your absence was computer related and not health problems. I hope you can resolve the problems without stripping your hard drive and starting over. That is a very time consuming task.
beautiful – as usual.

This is stunning!! love how you did the circle in the square.
Hi Becca, I was outta town so the time that you were down wasn’t missed until I started checking my old email to see what had happened while I was gone. Just noticed that you weren’t in those old ones and what a fun time I had catching up. LOL! You always have such interesting ideas and I love the challenges. thanks for all you do. You are so special!
Yes we were wondering. You were definitely missed. Sorry about the computer problems. It is definitely a love/hate situation that most of us have with our computers. Can’t live without them thou. Don’t know how we survived before them (and cell phones)!!!!!! Love this card what gorgeous paper. Colors are beautiful. Glad you were able to fit this one in. Truely beautiful. Worth the wait.

I have a love/hate relationship with computers I love them when they work and hate them when they don’t!

Beautiful card Becca, I love the color combo on this also. I just got some of those new spellbinders and can’t wait to try them.
So pretty! I ordered this set a few days ago and I can hardly wait to get it!
I always look forward to your work. Beautiful. I’m in love with all the bows you use.
You are a subliminal salesperson! I always get this message: “Buy those tools! Buy those tools!” I think if I use the products you do, I can make cards like you do! Ha! I can’t buy your amazing talent! But I think I’ll have to have those new spellbinders, anyway. :o) TFS!
Stunning just stunning love it you are so amazing.
Becca, your card is gorgeous!!! Sorry about your computer issues. I hope they resolve easily without you having to wipe the hard drive! Good Luck!
