Thank you so much for joining me. I’ve been blogging now for 9 years and have had the fortune of building a lovely community here – behind the scenes I refer to all those lovely souls who visit as Gracelets – they bring joy and always impart a morsel of grace that lifts my spirits, makes me laugh, and carries me and others through the day. Over time it’s became apparent to me that while there are so many things I want to do – design, answer emails, create videos – that having enough time is a factor. I was doing a little bit of each, but was not doing anything as well as I wanted. Because I want to continue to savor the experience of blogging and want you to see what I’ve designed and how it can be used, I’ve reached out to four lovely souls that have been my friends though the years and asked them to help me. We all have the same heart and they are glorious designers in their own right.
Please help me welcome the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team.
These are people who have been in the trenches encouraging you from afar although you didn’t really know it. I’ll be blogging right beside them but the number of ideas you’ll get to see with my dies and stamps will grow!
The Challenge
While they are waiting for the mailman to deliver their dies, I challenged each of the Creative Team members to share a favorite project they have made in the past. It will show you their style and what to expect in the coming weeks as they demonstrate ideas that add value to your craft investments. Oh, and after I’ve introduced all, my favorite project is at the bottom of this post as well as links to each Creative Team Member.
The Prizes
Since this is our first hop, of course there are prizes! There are five dies that are being given away. One name will be randomly picked from comments left on each of our five blogs on the APG Creative Team May Blog Hop post between May 3 and May 8, 2017 at midnight US CST and our international friends can participate! The randomly selected names will be announced on the Amazing Paper Grace Blog on May 9th.
Up for grabs is an Amazing Paper Grace die of your choice (excludes the Vintage Elegance Collection) there will be a total of five dies and a winner can win once. If your name is selected, simply claim it within 2 weeks of announcement by sending your address through the form under the Contact Tab on the Amazing Paper Grace Blog. The dies will be mailed out by me, once I’ve received your winning info and choice.
And now, please let me introduce:
The Creative Team
Melissa Bove – keepsakesbymelissa.blogspot.com
Melissa’s style is sweet and charming – she’s expert in romantic shabby chic styling with flowers and ephemera. She crafts with a passion and positivity that is absolutely infectious. You have no doubt seen her cards on a well known Cardmaking magazine cover. Akin to an Interior Decorator, she’s a Card Decorator, apportioning truly beautiful things.
I live in Toms River, New Jersey with my husband and 2 children and 1 fur baby kitty. I love anything vintage, shabby, chippy or rusty!! I have crafted from the time I could walk but my favorite things to make are handmade cards and gifts for friends and family. Besides crafting, I love to cook, work in my garden, decorate my home, read a good book, but most importantly, spending time with my beautiful family. I am thrilled to be a part of the very first Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team! Becca, you are a true inspiration and beautiful person both inside and out! Thank you for asking me to be a part of this fabulous team!
Anita Kejriwal – craftingforever-anita.blogspot.com
Anita is simply prolific – as an avid crafter you have no doubt seen her coloring and her signature flowers – her tutorials are awesome. She dreams and it manifests itself into paper with jaw-dropping cards. She’s not shy, and has taken her training to Facebook where she often shares her product expertise live.
My name is Anita Kejriwal and I live in India. I have been married for 24 years with two kids and a very supportive and loving husband. Crafting is very close to my heart and I have set my life into it since last 15 years. Over these years, I have come a long way making a new identity and a new space for myself. I started my journey of crafting with simple stamping and scrapbooking . I love trying out new techniques and styles and absorb and learn all that I see. The world crafting community is wonderful place and I love being a part of it. My hobby has won me many awards and appreciation all over the world . Besides crafting, I love to cook, sing and dance. I also love travelling and would love to see travel to many places all over the world. Being a part of the APG team has been a dream come true. For me, Becca is my idol and I feel blessed to get this opportunity to work with her. I thank Becca for believing in my work . I hope and wish that we will continue to work for many years together.
Kristi Schurr – kristispapercreations.blogspot.com
Kristi and I have worked together before and I found myself always wishing I had created the card that she created. She has a very detailed look that often includes pretty bows, lace and flowers – simply full of charm. Her expertise is in placement and coordination of elements for a polished look – everything she touches becomes beautiful! She sells her cards on Etsy and can hardly keep them in stock.
I’m Kristi Schurr and I live in Georgia with my husband of 23 years and two children. I have been crafting my whole life, starting as a little girl making Christmas tree ornaments from felt and sequins to sewing clothes for my dolls using the fabric scraps my grandmother gave me. I took up stamping in the early nineties when I bought a stamp set at a local big box store and have been hooked ever since! I also dabble in mixed media and have other crafts I like such as bookbinding and painting. When I’m not paper crafting, I like to read, garden, see movies and spend time with my family/ I am so happy to be a part of Becca’s Creative Team and hope you’ll find some inspiration from my projects.
Joanna Krogulec – joannakrog.blogspot.com
Joanna has been quietly crafting stunning arrangements for quite some time. She’s humble and very quiet – I think she’s an unsung hero. She came onto my radar when I was trying to better learn to craft flowers. She taught me well and freely shares her flowermaking expertise. Take a look through her blog for extensive flower making tutorials. She loves flowers and flower-making and it definitely shows in her beautiful, pristine creations.
My name is Joanna. I am Polish living in London, UK. I have a beautiful daughter who has just turned 9. I enjoy making cards and decorating them with my handmade flowers. Before I started making cards I cross stitched a lot. When I am not crafting I am reading books. I love nature. On my blog I share what I create as well as crafty techniques, which I am discovering, learning and trying myself. Thanks to blogging I met my crafty friends. I am delighted that I could join Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team.
These are givers, spreaders of kindness, they love the art for the art and they love to teach. I can hardly wait to see what they do with my dies and other products. More than anything, these ladies are my friends and in a world where I often work alone, they have become a bright spot in my day and have blessed me by reinvigorating my whole crafting outlook. If you can, please welcome them by following them everywhere they share online. Their links are below and they will be sharing all their social media links with you as well.

Now on to my favorite creation. This is a card that I created way back in 2012 before pop-ups were cool. I combined my love for elegant along with my love of technical moving parts and as you can see this is a little bit of a surprise. This was created by scratch and when I pulled it out of my stash, it even had me scratching my head. Even though I don’t remember exactly how I made it, I remember the glee I felt when I created it! That’s what this craft is all about.
This . . .
turns into this. So fun!!
In action:
Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing this special occasion. Working behind the scenes with these ladies has been a real treat and has ignited a renewed spirit for crafting and collaborating. Join us every week as we share! Oh, and please check back on May 9th to see if you are a prize winner.
Your card is beautiful, as is all your work. Looking forward to all the gorgeous creations by the APG Creative Team.

I was just telling my husband about your latest adventure (he knows all about you because you are my #1 inspiration). I said “The woman is moving on up! I love it!”
I loved this card so much I bought the stamp. But it has never been out of the package. It has been one of those precious pieces that has been waiting for the perfect occasion. Again, I am inspired. The ladies in my class will have to take on a trickier project than usual because this has to come to life for me.
All my crafting energy seems to be taken up prepping for and instructing my lovely group of ladies that have become tight friends & confidants over the last three years. I am so blessed for having been the instrument of bringing us together. I know you understand.
I am in the stands, barely noticeable in the crowd, but rooting like crazy with the fans for your continued success and fulfillment.
Blessings & Hugs, Becca.
Wow and wow…what an awesome group of ladies…love their work and of course yours too…Congrads

Congratulations Becca and gathering a very talented team!
Oh…my…gosh!!! This card is amazing!!! I can’t believe you haven’t shown us this one before and I truly wish you did a video on how to make it. So glad you are starting a blog hop with others and pulling in a design team to make things easier for you. The other crafters are wonderful and I love how many of them make flowers!!!
If someone asked me which of your gorgeous cards is my favorite, I would be hard pressed to provide an answer – until I was reminded how this card simply blew me away the first time I saw it. I was very intrigued by the lovely aqua inset in the oval on the card front. SO pretty! Then I viewed the inside. Amazing! CONGRATULATIONS, Becca, on this new road that you will be traveling. You are a blessing in our lives. And “Welcome” to the fabulous ladies joining you. I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful creations coming our way.
Pam
Becca – What a fabulous team you have. I will be sure to following them as I do you daily. My favorite – the Pop Up card box. How darling is that. May God shine his favor on this new venture for you and the ladies.

Becca, congratualtions! I’ve followed you forever, laughed at your comments, oohed & aahed @ your creations, cried when John was sick and then passed, and reveled in your success since. Good work girlfriend!!!
Thank you for the fun hop. What a group of talent and the creations they’ve made. We can’t wait to see more and learn more. Your pop up is unbelievable. Just so lovely.
Good morning Becca, looks like a fab team, and you deserve some help to lighten the load!!!
Good times ahead!!!
Bless you!!!
Have a good one!!!
Loopy Lyndaxxx
Oh my goodness Becca, I had almost forgot about this, but as soon as I saw it, I remembered how it amazed me, when I saw it back then. It is really gorgeous and a genius make, and I wish, I could make anything like this, as my granddaughters would love that, I´m sure.
Biiig congrats on getting this new team to help you, and I can´t wait to see, what they have to share now too. Have a wonderful time sweet lady.

Dear Becca,
Are you feeling euphoria, like you’ve just given birth? I couldn’t be happier and more excited about your creation, your brand-spanking-new Design Team! You’re right about this being big. I can’t wait to see how all your collaboration inspires phenomenal growth and success for Amazing Paper Grace. Once again, I feel fortunate to have a front-row seat to witness all the wonderful things in store!
Love & Joyous Blessings! (What a spectacular card today, too!)
How exciting too have a creative team. Your pop-up card shows that you’ve always been ahead of the curve?
Carol b
I’ve been with you from the start and it’s been so exciting to see you grow and flourish. Congrats; you’re the best!
I love all of your work, so so beautiful and peaceful to look upon….:)
fantastic news – congratulations on a great team
Oh My, Becca,
You have finally “blown my socks off”. What very wonderful and unexpected news. I’m so happy to be a fly on the wall of your life. All five of the APG Creative Team will provide me with sparks of delight. Only problem, trying to decide where to start first. Joanna’s whimsical creative ideas are so appealing. Kristi’s cards have a lovely balance and Theme Cards are my favorite, but her color combos leave me sighing. Melissa’s shabby chic is perfect for my Graphic 45 papers. Anita’s cards are crisp and deliberate. And lastly, you my dear are the most creative talent I have ever come to find. I love everything you do. Your technical skills match my engineering husband’s and my color choice seems to be your color choice.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this new adventure. Cannot wait to see how all of your lives unfold. God bless with Hugs, Sara
Congrats to you on the new Design Team! What a treat for you as well as your subscribers! Your pop-up card is beyond fabulous!

I always look forward to new posts on your blog. Thrilled to learn more about your new team.
Congratulations to all the creative team members–I’ll look forward to seeing your new creations.
Hi, Becca! I’m so excited for you. Looking forward to future posts. I thought I’d let you know, moments after I read your post listing the cards you mailed (day after you posted), my boys come to me with the mail and their is your package waiting for me to open it. To add blessing upon blessing I discover inside the package an extra gift that happens to be the very item I’ve been wanting to acquire but had not had opportunity to. Your graciousness has doubly blessed me.
Oh my, Becca!
What a nice surprise to see this team of very talented ladies who will be helping you as well as all of your “Gracelets!” I have not had a chance to review all of their blogs but am a follower of Anita’s blog and love seeing her beautiful Heartfelt Creation flowers. Sure has a knack for blending of colors. As soon as I can I plan on checking out the other three. I am so happy for you and look forward to continueing on as “one” of your most loyal Gracelets. I have checked out the “new” dies in your collection and have my favorite one picked out. God Bless you and your APG team!!!
Hugs
Ann Robbins
Loyal follower for at least 8 years.
Becca, what awesome news! Been following you for many years, and feel this next step will be so wonderful for you and all of us. The work of your new design time is stunning and will go greatly with your dies and your artistic endeavors. Congratulations!
I am excited to see what your design team will create. You have picked some of my favourite crafters ever for your team. I have been Kristi’s fan from the first card I saw of hers back on JR. I miss seeing the beautiful types of cards that these designers make. I love the complexity of their designs which match so perfectly with your dies. This is going to be GREAT!!
Oh Becca, your team does such beautiful work. Can’t wait to start following all of them for more inspiration. Congratulations on selecting such talented crafts-women for your team.

Hi Becca, Congratulations on your new APG Design Team and Welcome to All !!
I looked at your card and followed down your Blog and thought What !!!! haha it was only when I clicked on your video I saw that the beautiful house is inside, how silly am I haha. A fabulous pop-up card, I absolutely love it.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Oh wow! How wonderful to have a whole design team to showcase your wonderful dies and products! Can’t wait to see what else you all have in store for us xx
I unfortunately have only one friend who I have passionately shared card making joys with over the years. Dear Francine had a major stroke over a year ago and is no longer able to craft. Those past memories and fun times are all the more precious. Card making is wonderful, but sharing it is the best part.
Becca, I have followed you thru many years now and just am amazed each and every post how creative and talented you actually are. Year after year, post after post, you just keep growing and expanding and for all of us (old and new followers), we are so lucky that you keep sharing your inspirations with all of us. You are truly inspiring to so many of us. Both your creative nature and your kind and gentle soul have gotten me through some tough times and I thank for that and thought you should know. I am so proud of how far you have come through the years and am proud to consider you a friend. Congrats to you and to the ladies that have joined your team. Looking forward to another fabulous year of creativity.
Hugs, Marcie
Besides enlightening our day with new designs and inspirations you are now expanding ‘our crafting world of Becca’ by introducing these four young ladies to create more excitement and awe.

Oh wow! This card is absolutely beautiful!
Congratulations on selecting such talented team!
