Hi there blog friends, two days in a row!! I had several things in progress and finished them up – truth is there’s usually an unfinished object on my desk at any given time and I love it when I can actually finish something! Well, I have a couple of things going on today. . . First of all, I keep forgetting to mention that next week I’ll be in Ohio at a stamp show! Yep, I’m going to Adventures in Stamping!!! If you are in the area, please breeze on by the Our Daily Bread Designs booth – I’ll be showing and talking about Becca’s Peg Bow Maker and I’d love to meet you.
For my card today, I wanted a dresy look and this teal blue/sea foam green color is definitely one of my favorites.. Using the Francis of Assisi set from Our Daily Bread Designs, I stamped the sentiment on Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Motifs and over top I layered a frame made using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Two. With my flowers/bow cluster, I added a couple of leaves from Spellbinders™ Rose Creations and embossed them with Spellbinders™ So Trendy M-Bossabilities.
I’ve got a pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine — you know that song, right? Now I won’t be able to get that out of my head. At any rate, that’s what I had in mind when I created this next project – here’s a little peek.
I wanted to create a fun birthday card that was like a pocket full of sunshine — you’ll have to hop over to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog after 6:00am Eastern Time to see how my $1.00 Michaels Bargain Bin find fits in.

Hi Becca
A beautiful card, so delicate and lovely colour combination. The sentiment is so true.
From the other side of the pond – Welsh Annie X
OO! I love that sentiment as well as it’s exquisite vehicle! Such a lovely use of one strong pattern with two beautiful supporting patterns – the lace is so diminutive without being overwhelmed by the stronger label and paper pattern! Soooo pretty! I am learning alot! thanks teacher! heehehe!
Absolutely gorgeous work here again Becca. I just love this color and it all just fit so perfect together, and it´s soooo gorgeous together all of it. I love it.
Thisis so beautiful. I love this Spellbiders die, and the sentiment is lovely.
OOOOOh how I love teal! So quite naturally this card strikes a note with my color senses. Got a chuckle out of Barbara Dee’s comment on you being our teacher. How cool! Every card you make and share we learn something. Now this one has those gorgeous flower buds….not only are they just gorgeous but how did you adhere them as they look heavy? See when you make beautiful things we end up with tons of questions. LOL. Thanks Becca for keeping the excitement in your craft. My husband told me yesterday that my cards are getting prettier and prettier. I just say thank you and then I tell him about yours and sometimes he will come into the computer to see my inspiration.
Gorgeous work and I love the verse and colours you have used. Dianne
Another beauty! Love your color choice.
Just beautiful Becca. I, too, love the colors on this card.

Very pretty!! Just when I get some more of the dies, you come up with another which is stimulating to my habit LOL. I just got Romantic Rectangles, Floral Ovals and Label 25 so will have to put this one on my wish list. Your definitely instill beauty into each creation and sets our creativity juices flowing. Hope you have a great time in Ohio and hope you will have something for us while you are gone. Love the color in this one. TFS.

Thank you for sharing…

wow Becca, this is stunning. Love the design paper and love the little flowers on the bow. Heck I love everything :)
So Beautiful!
Gorgeous, Becca! I love the white embellishments with this lovely soft teal card.
SOOOOO LOVELY Becca!!!!!!!!! LOVE that color too! GORGEOUS! :) You just KNOW how to put it all together PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!! :)
WISH I could be in Ohio now! (Used to live there) AND believe me, if we did, my hubby would be taking me to meet you! I wouldn’t have to hog-tie him, he’d do it willingly! :) He’s a GOOOOD Hubby! :)
Just Beautiful!!!! I wish I could go to Ohio just to meet ya….but you’ll be flying over my head on the way there…..(maybe) so I’ll just wave at ya..
This is my favourite of all your cards. It just does it for me. I adore the cluster of ribbow, bow, flowers and pearl seeds. It bowls me over. Also the sentiment and how your have presented it. Oh my, I am head over heels over this card. And how true it is. I’ve call you my mentor many times; have learned so much from you and you kindle the nugget of creativity that lies deep in my soul. For this and your great generosity, I thank you.
Your creations are absolutely stunning. What an inspiration!!
Just BEE-U-TEE-ful. I have a sizzix embossing folder that sort of looks like your background. I had swiped an ink pad over it, embossed a white c/s, then used other S/binders from what you did. Surely didn’t look like yours!! But your lovely creation gives me s’more ideas to try, as this is probably MY fav color combo. The sentiment is so perfect as well as all the elements used. TFS and have fun at the show. Wish I could get from SC to Ohio (?it’s a possibility!) and enjoy the show and meet you. Have tons of fun. Hugs
You are such an inspiration and a blessed designer. Thanks for your designs.
first thing I open today was from ODB saying you were going to be there had to goggle and see how far it was not bad only 3 hours and 42 min. would be so much nicer if you’d be a part of the show in Novi Mi. Hope you have a great time I know you will gets lots of people wanting to see you :) Your card is awsome I just love everything about it I can’t wait to get to my desk and start crafting today
Hugs
Love the card and your adventure in color!
Beautiful card and quote. Love your lacy center, so attractive!
Your card is very beautiful. Wondering if you made the roses??? Know you made the bow and they are always perfect. Edna
Forgot to add, sorry I can’t be at the Ohio show, but wish I could. Will you be coming to the Michigan shows? Sure hope so as would love to meet you. Edna
Becca!!! Very lovely—and especially the tin ‘card’!! It is so uber fantastic and anointed!!! Thank You for sharing!!!be blessed

PS–If you could suggest 1 or 2 Spellbinders that are go to’s for you—which would they be??
the die gives it a garden feel and I just love those silk flowers, Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful!! So lacy and elegant! What a lovely work of art to enjoy as I start my day today. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh Becca this is stunning! Of course the color is my favorite but beyond that I love all the beautiful elements and sweet sentiment. Your project on ODBD today is fabulous as is the tutorial. Have a fun and safe trip to Ohio.
Blessings Bernie
Beautiful card Becca! Your work is amazing and very inspiring! Hugs!
I can’t tell you how excited I am that you will be in Akron next week. I will be there and hope I can get close enough to the ODB booth to meet you. I have long admired your work and your blog is the first one I read every day. Looking forward to seeing you next week.
Your card is so beautiful.Hope you have wonderful time in Ohio.I would love to be there but just not possible with airfare the way it is. Sure do wish ODB would come to the StampFest show in Orlando !!! Maybe some day
Becca, when I opened my e-mail and saw this beautiful card, it is so.. it is just.. OMG Becca, this card is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to meet you Becca. I wish you would tell us what part of Ohio you will be in. I live in Michigan and I will drive a couple of hours to meet you. Please e-mail me and let me know. Hugs! Patricia
I just got some paper in that color with a design just a little different than yours at a discount scrap store. It will be perfect for making a similar card! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your beautiful card. You know I love you, girl, BUT… when are we going to see your Etsy Shop?
ABSOLUTELY —BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing this. Oh, I LOVE
IT. wISH I could be in Ohio…to meet you. Tell me when you’ll be in

insets”…Thanks nd God Bless you
This is just perfect, the color, the design paper ,the bow, the flowers makes it irresistible

Gorgeous card Becca. Love the colors chosen. Love the lacy panel behind the sentiment it just seems to go so well with the paper. Love the big bow with the white flowers buds all around. A very nice added touch. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Oh Becca, how beautiful!! I love the colors on your card. The rose buds, how did you make them? They look nothing like the cut outs….. I guess I do not have the imagination you obviously have. And then to read that you are going to be at the stamping convention in Akron….. Yeah!!! I have sent an email to everyone I know that is going to the convention. We so look forward to going to the convention as it is the first event of the spring for us. I have 3 friends I go together with and we make an entire weekend out of it. It is our “Girls weekend out”!! We stay over the weekend so we don’t miss a thing. I am so looking forward to meeting you…… oh, I’ll be the one with the sling on. I had rotator cuff surgery about three weeks ago, but I will be there with bells on. Thank you ever so much for sharing your talent/gift with all of us. I always go to your site first as soon as I get on line. You have wonderful ideas and suggestions and I want to know what we are in store for each day. Hope to see you next weekend. Linda
Beautiful card Becca, sure wish I could attend the convention. but Texas is just to far away. I love the way you use sentiments for really making you think with love, joy, peace, laughter, smiles. they amaze me every time. Do you have a tutorial on how to make those lovely rose buds, on this card?
just gorgeous…. thank you for sharing….blessings.
oops! hit the wrong letter in name. Pattie not Pattien. just excited I think. have a good day.
Beautiful, Becca. What a gorgeous color and the background paper’s pattern is pretty. Love the labels 22 frame over the lace doily. Left you some love over on ODBDB too.

Becca I did find all the Adventures in Stamping information. This will be my first time going to any craft conventions. I am new at this. I am very excited. And one of the reasons I`m going is to hopefully get a chance to meet this amazing, talented, beautiful person, who so gracefully make paper sing and come alive in our spirits and souls. Thank You for all you do and I am so looking forward to meeting you.
Wow! This is a true beauty. Wished I could attend the Adventures in Stamping show and meet you, but it’s a tad too far. You have a wonderful time and enjoy meeting some of your many many friends. How lucky for those fortunate enough to be there. Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to hear about your experience.
Becca your card is truly beautiful as is all your work.So excited that u are
coming to Akron . It will be like meeting a Hollywood star in my eyes.lol
Thanks for sharing Carolyn Hill
Absolutely beautiful!!! I love the background. Simply elegant!
I am weighing the pros and cons of going to Adventures in Stamping– I used to go pretty regularly, but I found myself unable to control myself with so many beautiful things available. So I stopped going. But I would love to come by to say hi– you may be what gets me back there. :-D
Another beautiful creation, loving the colours and the stamp.
I also loved your creation over on the blog….the recipient will love it I’m sure! LOL Eileen
Gorgeous card, Becca! I LOVE the color!
Hi Becca,
A lovely clean and fresh card today. I think the simplicity of the design on the patterned paper is what makes it so pretty. The Lace doilie motif and the large but not crowded embellished bow are perfect companions.
Best wishes Linda
I just love the colours on this card and the magnificent way it came together. Your flowers/bow/pin combo is lovely!
Absolutely gorgeous card! I love the design paper, the colors, and especially that layered frame. Awesome! That’s why I love looking to you for inspiration, and it never fails!
Hi Becca,
You make such beautiful cards. Your layouts are just gorgeous and so inspirational. I know you use alot of spellbinder dies. Can you let us know which die cut machine you use? I have the Revolution. Can we use spellbinders in the Revolution? Thank’s for sharing your talents.
I always look forward to seeing what you and God have created for us to see.
Those rose buds make the card even better! Such a beautiful touch!!
Becca, I am soooooooo disappointed I will not be meeting you in Akron, Ohio. When I heard you were going there, there was glimmer of hope that maybe I might be able to travel to Ohio as I would just love to meet you. But, that date doesn’t work for me. However, I am definitely planning on going to York, Pa. later this fall. Oh, if only you could make that one as well!! If not, maybe we will be able to meet up at another time. Good luck in Akron and have fun!!!
Hi Becca! I love all of the tutorials, cards…just everything! You do such a wonderful job. I think my favorite bow is the circle bow…or the figure 8.

Rectangle Frame made with Corner Punches Tutorial 2008
This is the card that I saw on Our Daily Bread Design. It caught my eye and I was swept away. I have made that same card, with a few differences a few times and the recipients have been tickled with delight too. I still look forward to seeing Becca designs and tutorials and I am disappointed if I don’t see something from you every day. But that is OK, no pressure, it just makes the anticipation greater when I finally see your next creation. And I am NEVER disappointed, ever. Love and blessings and thank you for sharing your talent.
Have a wonderful time in Akron. I can’t wait for all the great ideas you will come back with.
I visited Our Daily Bread at Allentown to purchase some of the awesome stamps you use and wish I could make it to Akron to meet you. Maybe next year!
Becca all of your projects are so super it’s hard to pick just one. I guess I would go back to the first post of yours that I saw which was the Perfect punched border frames. I have used this a few times, but not recently because I tend to use my spellbinders most of the time. I have to go back to it again as it made such neat borders. Thank you so much for all of your inspiration. I look forward each day to your posts-such beautiful work you do-they always leave me smiling.
Hi Becca! I love all of the tutorials…One of my favorite’s is the bow making. Your cards are so beautiful. Wish I could go to Ohio to see you in actions
