Hello there!!!  Many of you asked that I share how to make the ID Tag Box and I promised I would.  Of course it has many, many uses and I have a project planned again next week with the box.  Please join me in a short video that shows how to make this quick and simple box.  If you make one, I hope you’ll link to my Becca Bit or my original post HERE.  Betcha’ can’t make just one!!

You are simply amazing!!  See you soon!

ETA:  Arrgh, after Youtube compressed my video I noticed that it obsured some of the typing in the last frame . . . in case you cannot see it here are the numbers.  I may reupload later tonight.

    Becca, will you be making an adobe file template as you often times do as well? It helps to have the pattern available to print. If possible, that would be great! Beautiful box by-the-way! Can’t wait to make it myself!ReplyCancel

Oh, I have a fun project to share today.  I had it on my calendar, this month, to make these shoes that I ran across on a website.  In fact there was a challenge but alas, it looks like I was a couple of days late.  Well, I wanted to make them anyway and I think they are gonna be a little bit addicting, lol!!  Who doesn’t like pretty shoes, right?!?  From the moment I saw JustRite Stampers new set called Kaleidoscope Borders and Centers, they reminded me of the kind of filigree medallions we would wear on our shoes and I wanted them for my shoes.   Of course those medallions always had a pearl in the center, so do mine :-).

I found the pattern for the shoes on THIS website however I modified the pattern to fit my needs.  I wanted a longer, more feminine looking shoe so I narrowed the bottom, shortened the toe covering and added height to the heel.  I added crepe paper and pleated ribbon to the toe of the shoe and then added the medallion.  The shoe is distressed with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I wanted so bad to put a tassel on those shoes but I realized there will be many more pairs to come :-)

In addition I made a card to go along with the set.  It was sweet to pull out another JustRite Stampers set called Girl Time Borders and Centers Set and use the sentiment that says Pretty Shoes Sure Can Cure The Blues.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it in half and inserted in on both sides of my medallion.   I cut down the Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame to fit the area that I needed and bordered the bottom of the card with ruffled ribbon.

Project Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite – Kaleidoscope Borders and Centers, Girl Time Borders and Centers
Paper:  The Paper Company – Blonde Columns, Bazzill, K & Company
Ink:  Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Petite Circles Small #2 and #3, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG #4, Spellbinders™ Scalloped Edge Frame, Crepe Paper, Ribbon, Pearl, Wooden Wheels (for Shoe Heels)

Boy was I in la-la land yesterday – I thought it was Friday!!   The Blog Candy is still open and I’ll be picking a winner late tonight and will have in on my blog tomorrow – sheesh!!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!    Today I’m sharing a card with you using some newish stamps from JustRite Stampers – they are from the Joyful Heart Borders and Center Ovals set.  I know that when I use as set I say it’s my favorite, but it’s so true with this set.  It can be used for so many things and I love the optimistic message.

To make the card I constructed my card base then created a medallion.  The medallion bottom layer is Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Oval LG #4 followed by Spellbinders™ Classic Oval LG #3 and  and topped of by Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG #2.  The base of the card is three horizontal panels with a vertical panel layered on top. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite – Joyful Heart Centers and Borders
Paper:  Paper Studio – Mirabelle
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Dark Moss
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Classic Oval LG, Satin Ribbbon, Pearls, Martha Stewart Border Punch

Happy Monday, right?!?

  • Betty GoodsonApril 26, 2010 - 9:43 am

    I have this set and I too love it, just need time to use. Another memory I think of often especially when grandchildren or others say they are bored. Just doesn’t compute. We didn’t have television, video games, computers, etc, and the only time we spent indoors was eating, sleeping and doing chores and I honestly have never been bored in my life. We were safe to walk all over our small town to the movies which cost a dime, to the swimming pool, or just the grocery store for a dixie cup of ice cream which had our favorite movie stars on the inside lid. Fun, fun, fun.ReplyCancel

  • Cathy HughesApril 26, 2010 - 9:49 am

    Becca, another terrific card!

    This morning we woke to the sounds of water gurgling in our ductwork. Our house is on a cement slab and somewhere our drainage system is plugged up.

  • CathyApril 26, 2010 - 10:32 am

    I got so excited thinking about receiving a “Becca” card I forgot to share one of my childhood memories. When I was young my brother, some friends and I would ride our bikes out into the country (I live in a small town) to a local farm house. The man who lived there was a retired horticulturist for the St. Louis Botanical Gardens. He loved gladiolas and had fields of them. He would cut large bouquets for each of us to take home to our mothers. We would then ride home and surprise our mothers with the beautiful flowers. It always seemed to take for ever to get to his farm and then back home again. Funny thing as an adult I checked the mileage to see how far it was (the farm is still there) and I found it to be less than a mile. Seemed like 50 when I was 8. ; )ReplyCancel

    Becca, as often as I visit your site it amazes me how beautiful your cards are. Thanks for sharing.
    One of my cherised memories is one of Easter Sunday family reunions. We drove 2 hours after early mass to my mom’s aunt & uncle’s place. They owned a fishing camp on the San Bernard river and probably 100 or more people would show up. Talk about food! With every mom bringing one or two dishes there were never a lack of something to eat. One aunt was famous for chicken & dumplings and she made them in the biggest pot I have ever seen. They didn’t last long. Another was noted for her banana pudding and she made a small wash tub full of it. We kids would hit that pudding before the main food. We didn’t want to get there and find it gone. And they must have hidden 50 dozen eggs.
    Most of the aunts, uncles and even cousins are gone now. I’m so glad the Lord left us memories.ReplyCancel

    When I was younger my family always had these huge Sunday dinners. My Mom would make the gravy from the early a. m. You woke up to the smell the garlic & basil sauteing. The aroma had your mouth watering all day. I would go to church & stop at the bakery on the way home. Then I would take the Italian bread & dip in the sauce. Mmmm, I could almost taste it now.ReplyCancel

    I got started catching lightning bugs by my Grandma Beatty. We lived on a quiet boulevard street for a while and when I was 3 or 4 Mom or Grandma would give me a jar and watch me across onto the boulevard divider where there were many bushes….full of lightning bugs. I remember having a liot of them in my jar and excitedly telling Grandma ” Look, I found a substitute for ‘lectricty. ” I was so proud.ReplyCancel

    Love your card, Becca, it’s exquisite…ah, for the good old days…I remember we’d go to the movies every weekend on Sunday afternoons, my uncle would drive us as we lived in the country…we always looked forward to the weekend…we also climbed trees and played cowboys and indians…yes, even if I was a girl…with the neighbor’s kids…how carefree we were then and never bored…we’d walk in the woods and pick peaches off the trees and never worried that bad things could happen to us…our world seemed safe compared to today…i’m feeling nostalgic now…

    I remember “trick or treating” long into high school (of course I was quite small). Playing Red Rover with my brothers, building forts in the backyard and sleeping in them all summer, wearing dresses for school and no leggings or leotards back then. Christmas caroling from house to house and people inviting you in for cocoa, even if they did not know you. Celebrating all the holidays at school and having prayer before every event.ReplyCancel

    Well back to the farm, hand churned ice cream was another treat. Using their own milk and hand picked peaches or strawberries, my aunt would put ice in the churn and then crank and crank and we would sit on the screened in porch on the swings and eat the most delectable ice cream. Have never had anything to compare.

    Sure hope I win the great blog candy. Thanks Becca!

    This card is so simple in design yet so simply beautiful!

    Ready for another “Good ol days” memory? When I was in 5th grade I broke both of my arms falling out of a tree – I was quite the tomboy. I had the long casts on both of my arms. With one month left of school, they wouldn’t allow me in class because I was too much of a liability so I had a tutor. After school I went an spent the summer with my grandparents who lived in a fishing village in Upper Michigan. I was not too much of a liability for the commercial fishermen. They let me come on their boats and go out into Lake Superior to bring in their nets. I was so blessed to have the attention of these fun men who told me stories of dangers they experienced out on the “Big Lake” and so many more that I will always hold dear to me. I could go on, but I won’t. Thank you for letting me recall this what could have been a horrible lonely time but instead turned out to be one of the best summers of my life!ReplyCancel
