Hey you guys, check out this link HERE on Jennifer McGuire’s blog, that one of my readers queued me in on.

Jennifer McGuire thank you so very much!! :63

 

By the way, you all pushed me over the 200,000 hit mark, so next week I’ll be gathering some items to offer for blog candy.   I’m just trying to think of what kind of Becca twist to create to make it a little bit more exciting than regular blog candy..he..he..

    Wow! It’s not hard to imagine, though. You create fab works of art in miniature! Way to go, Becca!ReplyCancel

    Good afternoon, Becca and congratulations to you, both on your ever spreading reputation for your special talent and reaching over the 200,000 mark on your blog. I’m feeling just a tad proud myself that my own small contribution helped you to achieve that :).
    I would really miss reading your blog now on a daily basis and seeing what your little grey cells have produced by way of a new masterpiece for us to enjoy.ReplyCancel

    Becca,

    Hey lady. Jennifer McGuire was asking on her blog one day for us to tell her who was our favorite blogger, so I named you and gave her a link to your blog. Yes it was me, I’m the one with the big mouth. She emailed me back and said she loved your blog, and posted a link to it on her blog. I just couldn’t help myself, I love your work. I haven’t heard from you in awhile, drop me a line.

WooHoo, a couple of my new embossing folders came in yesterday…they were ordered more than a month ago…grrrrr.   It was great to get to play with them, and again I resorted to the foil paper – this is a precious shade of light blue.  This card is a big one…I think I got carried away because with the snow dots you can do endless embossing, you just keep adding on to the start and it all meshes due to how they laid out the folder.

 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Stampendous – Angel, Printworks – Sentiment
Paper:  Fabriano Acquarello Watercolor, Foil Paper – Walmart
Ink – Black Brilliance
Accessories: Cuttlebug Snow Dots Embossing Folder, Cuttlebug Snowflakes Embossing Folder, Nestabilities, Quickutz Swirl,  Martha Stewart Scallop Border Punch, Fiskars Border Punch, Snowflake Punch

I’ll hopefully have time today to play some more!!  Life is good!

    Another beautiful and inspiring card! I check in to your blog every few days and I am always in awe of how much detail you put in your cards. You truly have a gift! Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • BarbAugust 26, 2008 - 6:48 am

    Wow!! Picture me sitting here in my jammies this morning and checking in to see if you had added anything new yet- now do you see me picking my chin up off the floor :D ? This is hands down the most gorgeous Christmas card I have ever seen! That little angel stamp is so adorable and I love the snowflake punched out of the side. Love the colors too…. well, love everything about it! AWESOME and AMAZING are two words that just don’t do this card justice :D. Have a blessed day Becca!

    Wow, that is a cute little angel set in the coolest (oh my, too punny) setting :) I LOVE the light blue foil. I’m going to have to make a little trip off to my Walmart to check it out. I’m not huge into angels, but this is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration. God bless you.ReplyCancel

  • MrsHAugust 26, 2008 - 1:25 pm

    Another outstanding card, Becca – beautiful – and I just love that you’re going BIG. I think you Americans always make such small cards. In UK my standard card would be A5 size- in your terms that’s 8.3 inches by 11.7 inches folded in half. I am ordering this folder myself and now I have some inspiration to go by, thank you so much.ReplyCancel

  • maggieAugust 26, 2008 - 2:25 pm

    Hi:
    Congrats on the DT, off course they asked you stay on with those amazing cards.
    Question
    How do you have the embossing line from the folder on the cb?
    Mine always come out with the line in it’s entirety..
    Where do you purchase your folders?
    Thanks

    I loved your card. How big was the Angel stamp? Where did the tag that you stamped “Good Wishes” onto come from? Is that a Cuttlebug die? I hope you can answer direct or on your blog?ReplyCancel

  • KellySeptember 22, 2008 - 6:44 pm

    MY OH MY…I just discovered your SCS gallery thanks to Peggysue, and I am SO glad I did! How inspiring are these creations? The details are just stunning and your layouts so unique and creative…and unusual in the best of ways…I have never seen such an elegant style! I will be visiting again often, thanks soooo much for the inspiration!ReplyCancel

  • NancyJanuary 11, 2009 - 9:19 pm

    Hi Becca,
    I love the Stampendous angel that you used on the Good Wishes and the new Cuttlebug Snow dots embossing folder. You posted this card on Tuesday, August 26, 2008. I have looked everywhere for this little angel. I even looked on the Stampendous site and also in a catalog that a scrapbooking store had of the Stampendous stamps to see if they could order it for me. No luck, so I am wondering if you can let me know if it was in a set or where I can find it. Thank you so much.ReplyCancel

  • VickiOctober 29, 2009 - 10:25 am

    Becca, I love the card that you used with the blue foil paper. I like working with the foil paper and the cuttlebug embossing folders. I went last night to WalMart to look for the light blue foil paper that you used on this card but was unable to find it. Do you know of any place else that might carry the light blue foil paper? I had the green, bright blue and red from years back and just recently ordered some more JoAnn’s Fabric. But I am looking for purple and the light blue. Any help that you give would be great.

    thanks

Oops…stop…hold on!  There has been a change of plans. 

 

  

 

Do you remember not so long ago I told you I was going to be the guest designer for Our Daily Bread Designs from August 15 to September 15?   Well, that plan was scrapped.  Sigh….my first Guest Designer gig and I was primed to go the distance…sigh.  Oh, the cards that I was gonna make…all the stamping I was gonna do…packing a lifetime into a month, and then a change of plans. 

 

 

 

 Oh well, I guess I’ll have to make those cards as a . . .

 

. . .Member of the Our Daily Bread Design Team!!!!  He…he…had ya goin’!  Yep, I’ll be staying on as a part of the Design Team and I am so blessed by this opportunity – read all about it HERE!!  I truly love ODBD stamps!  It’s an amazing feeling to be able to spend  time doing what I love and at the same time creating a piece that gives glory to God, it is a labor of love.

Stay tuned….there’s lots of exciting stuff to come to Our Daily Bread Designs – new releases, extraordinary Guest Designers and more!  I’m just so thankful that I can be a part of it all.  If you haven’t been there yet, click on over and check it out!!
