One of my favorite sentiments, for sure and so, so true!! Good morning blog friends! I hope the start of your week is truly magnificent. I’m kicking off my week with the Mojo Monday sketch – Mojo192, so I hope you’ll indulge me.
I used Spellbinders Label Eight as a frame and trimmed it out using my Tight Mats tutorial. The sentiment is mounted on a medallion of Spellbinders Lacey Circles, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG and Spellbinders Standard Circles SM. Along the bottom of the card I used a teeny tiny scalloped border punch as well as the larger border punch. I can confirm the lace I’m using today (and yesterday) came from Michaels — it must have been seasonal as it was on an end cap. I paired the lace with some seam binding (if you are looking for this, simply Google the brand Hug Snug) that I dyed with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink reinker and tied with the Figure Eight Loops technique on my Peg Bow Maker.

Oh, Becca, once again you’ve created an exquisite masterpiece! Absolutely LOVE this! The paper is yummy (where DO you find such beautiful papers?), and I love the sentiment! Love the way you add just the right combination of die cuts, lace, ribbon and pearls. Thank you for sharing with us!
Omgosh…another “triumph my dear”…what beauty!
Blessings!
This is gorgeous. I love that sentiment!
How beautiful.
Hello Becca,
Beautiful card as always. Are the background flowers embellishments, or are they part of the paper? It looks so nice!
This is why you continue to be my “go-to” person for inspiration! So beautiful! I’m sure that matches your heart and soul!
Hugz!

What a way to start a Monday!
Your mattes are so tight and even. They look great :) I also love the way you use the Spellbinders to hollow out your labels. I get so many ideas when I come to your blog. Thanks for sharing your creations with us!!!
Another really great card here Becca. Don´t know, how on earth you get all these cool ideas always, but they always just hit the nail, and I sooo love, what you´re creating and also this one is so gorgeous. And the colors and the bow are so awesome too. Love all the layers as well.
I can´t wait to see, what you´ll have to show for the Spellbinders tomorrow, but I´m sure, it´ll be soo gorgeous as always, and I´ll definately be back then, that´s for sure. Have a wonderful day hun and take good care.
VERY PRETTY Becca!!! What did you use for the background???? Looks like you used a print sheet, & overlayed some flowers????? LOOKS GREAT!!!!! :)
I love this card I love the saying and I know that is true. I love the color you use and the what I call it a hat pin. Thank you for sharing.

Had to come back and look at this card for the 3rd time and still love it! This last time, I saw the stick pin in the bow that I had missed the first two times……so pretty, Becca! Love the paper.

Gorgeous..Gorgeous..
Exquisite! Would I ever love to play in your studio. Love all the dies and punches you use and how you use them so beautifully.

Oh so beautiful, Becca!!
Love the way you have made the frame so we can see that wonderful paper.
I wish our Michaels in Canada would sell that gorgeous lace. I’ve been wanting it forever!!
Have a marvellous week :o)
Hugs, Candy
STUNNING!!!!!
Becca, can you tell me what size this card is…it looks like a 5×14. I know that at one time you shared how to piece cardstock together to make a longer base. Could you please share that again, or point me in the right direction. I did do a search but couldn’t seem to find it. Thanks for all you inspiration.
Absolutely gorgeous. I would love to see your studio cos you must hav sooooooooooooooooo much stash. Anne x

Every time I see one of your creations, I think to myself, “that’s my favorite!” And, this card is no exception (although I really can’t pick a favorite–they are all fabulous). How in the world do you continue to come up with such beautiful and original designs for your cards?

A beautiful card with a lovely sentiment.
This is utterly charming! For starters, the paper is a lovely backdrop for the rest of the elements. The lace is so pretty, the super frame and of course the ribbon/bow treatment – always the star of the show. I too love this sentiment and have one in my cherished rubbah collection. All and all, another 10. You never fail to amaze us.
Your creations require a vocabulary larger than mine to express the glory — I’d just have to say this is simply exquisite!!!
your blog is a beautiful vacation and i simply loved all the others also on your blog hop. thank you for sharing so many ideas
