Whew!!  I’ve simply been ignoring my blog reader for the longest time.  It was like the elephant in the room while I was trying to stamp!    Well I spent most of the day taming my reader monster.  Conquered!  So, if you all of a sudden have gotten random comments from me on posts you’ve made before today, you’ll know it’s just me trying to jump back on the merry-go-round.  Now to get a handle on my email…

I’ll try to be back with a post on Monday, I have a new technique to show and am just getting the photos done and hope to have a video to post also.  I hope everybody had a great weekend, it’s the start of a glorious new week!

Hey, also does anyone know if there is a sale going on on Just-Rite products anywhere?  My hubby is prompting me to hurry up and choose what I want for my birthday – back in October.   So if you know of any great deals going on, I would love a heads up through my contact page!!

    Oh, I hear you on the reader thing–I didn’t check mine for about six months because I knew it had probably 1000 posts. . . And e-mail too. . . I answer the ones that are quick to answer, and star the others to come back to when there’s time. But if they slip to page two, chances are, they won’t see daylight again. :-( Jeepers, it gets out of hand in a hurry!ReplyCancel

    No worries sweetie… it does feel good to catch up though. I woke up at 2:30 this morning and couldn’t sleep. So I started catching up on my reader posts… next thing I knew it was 6 am and my dh was standing over my shoulder asking if the coffee was ready yet. I finally finished up around 8 am. Felt like a major accomplishment!! :)

    Yes, I have been overtaken by my Goggle Reader!! I have found so many awesome blogs I have followed and bookmarked – I am forever at the mercy of it ;)

    I went one day and had nearly 500 things to read – so at the moment I am in the process of elimination – slow process but I am sure I will be organised by New Year…… shame I cant do that with my housework etc!!

    Have a fabulous day!!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    I love your work!! There’s a 10% off sale on the JustRite Christmas set over at http://www.thestampcastle.comReplyCancel

    A great place to shop is Terryfictimes.com – Beverly doesn’t have an online store, but she’s only a phone call away, provides great service and typically offers discounts on everything she sells. I know for a fact that she’s ordering from them this week, so if you need something you can’t find anywhere else, call her!ReplyCancel

    Google Reader is a wonderful thing but you are right it’s a Monster! I check mine almost daily but yet I still have over 500 unread posts. YIKES. Either I subscribe to too many or I am a slow reader…haha! Have a great day Missy!ReplyCancel

  • Mary Jo Price-WilliamsNovember 18, 2008 - 5:33 am

    I am so with you on this! I am bogged down with it all. I have so many e-mail in my inbox that I want to reply too or do something with and I fear that some are well over a year old, who the heck has time to clean that out. Yikes. I am doing the reader thing right this minute and it is taking WAY too long so it may not get done today, lol.ReplyCancel

    FAbulous as always Becca!! Hope you had a great weekend. We did. I taught at a workshop all weekend, drove to Stratford (Ontario) to have dinner with friends. My hubby was in a golf tournament and joined us after. Just chilled on Sunday, cleaned out the garage and made some room in my craft room to start Christmas creations.
    Have a great week!!ReplyCancel

    Sweet card Becca ~ I’m liking the kraft paper in place of your ‘normal’ paper on this card, almost looks rustic, nice contrast with the embossing.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca
    I was happy to stumble upon your blog today while I was blog hopping.
    This is a beautiful card – the colours are super and it’s great to see the true meaning of the Christmas season so beautifully portrayed.
    Blessings – RuthReplyCancel

  • CherylOctober 27, 2008 - 6:11 pm

    Hi Becca,
    I found your site from Splitcoasters. I love your designs! I was wondering how you embossed the same cuttlebug design numerous times on the same paper without flattening sections you previously embossed.
    I appreciate any tips you have.

    You always come out with such INCREDIBLE techniques! I love coming to your blog!!! Your cards are always breath-takingly GORGEOUS!ReplyCancel

  • Jerri JimenezOctober 29, 2008 - 7:15 pm

    Becca, this is fabulous! I used this folder on the last card I posted for the four corners. I used my Scor It to emboss double lines between the four corners. You’ve taken it several steps up by creating a clever technique for more uses for these dies. Like you, I have been very disappointed, especially with the ones with sentiments. Thank you for providing pictures showing us how you did it! You’re a genius girl! This card is absolutely beautiful!ReplyCancel

    Just wanted to say what a great tutorial. Unfortunately I don’t (as yet) have a large die-cutting machine, but will keep it in mind in case I get one in the future (will have to wait and see what Santa brings).

    I also think this could make good use of some of those stamps that have been neglected!

    I have added a link to this post from my blog as I’m sure there are many Cuttlebug users out there who would love to know of this technique, unless you object and then I shall remove it.
