Good Morning!! By the way I still have stacks of stuff to "donate" (ha-ha) sitting in my studio, so get ready for another Double Play to start tonight. If you haven’t ever played before, no worries, I’ll explain it all! I do have a card to share and my oh my, there are lots of pearls on this one. Kelley at Our Daily Bread Designs is carrying Zva Creative Pearls and she encouraged us to try them. Well, no marks were left when she twisted my arm lol, because the truth is she didn’t have to twist my arm at all! Sigh, I love the swirls!!
My card today uses a Wordsworth stamp that I’ve had in my stash for quite some time – it is from The Dickinson Collection. I love that sentiment. I also got an opportunity to use this sweet trim I picked up on Saturday at Hobby Lobby. What peachy lusciousness! The roses are so petite they’re precious. I framed them by punching on both sides with an EK Success Arch Scallop Border Punch.
Okay, well I’m off to take hubby in for surgery again. He’s having that second cataract done today and I’m as nervous as I was with the first. Please say a little prayer for him. The surgery I’m sure will go okay, but we have to watch carefully for infection.
Hope you don’t mind me throwing out the double play hint – lots of you were ready last time, so I wanted to be sure to give you some warning :-) Be sure to check back later on tonight (wink)!
Hope all goes well with the surgery! How lucky a man he is to have you to care for him.
Wow, having birthdays and getting older wouldn’t hurt too bad at all for the person receiving your beautiful card!!! It’s another beautiful creation, as always!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Best wishes for your hubby… I’m sure it will be smooth sailing again! That card is really a beauty… I wish HL was in our area…Hugs from Michigan
I will be praying for you and your husband today, as well as over the next few days.
Once again, you’ve completely knocked my socks off with this card. I just love all of the pearls and those peachy roses are yummy!
OMG – that card is STUNNING. You always take my breath away with your creations.
Praying for your hubby and his op – I’m sure it’ll be fine… its a routine procedure as you will be aware – and he will be in the safest hands.
God bless.

Absolutely gorgeous and so was the last one, I’m trying to find the ribbon so I can make a collar.
We all need a little Emily Dickinson in us , so as not to waste a minute complaining about things.
The card is lovely. Makes one feel feminine just to look at it. Thanks.

Becca: I’m saying a prayer that all will go well with your husband’s surgery – knowing that we serve a prayer hearing God.
I love the pearls also. I’m a flurish type of person. It adds the classic touch to your cards.
Good luck to hubby for this surgery.
Your card is lovely as usual. You make such gorgeous pastel cards!
Can’t wait for the new double play. They are always fun. Thanks for the heads up so those of us who use email updates can get in on the first word.
The only term that comes to my mind at this time is ‘WOW!’. That is alot of pearls… but nicely used. As usual a beautiful card and the person getting it would be so touched. The sentiment is also beautiful, will have to check them out. Tks for sharing.
What a lovely card you made
Our prayers are with both of you as your sweet husband goes through another surgery. The miracles of modern medicine are phenomonal! GOD IS GOOD – ALL THE TIME! Love your card and the inspiration you share with all of us! God Bless and fast healing
Ooohhh! Love the pearly swirlys!!! Of course, I love anything glitzy or shiny or otherwise girly! LOL!! I’m surprised that I’ve never heard that quote before, but it’s certainly one to put into my collection… well, I wish I had carefully collected all the quotes that I have liked over the years… but I do have a folder on my computer where I’ve stored at least some of them.
Thoughts and prayers will be with you and your husband. I’m sure the surgery will go perfectly!!
What a gorgeous card, Becca. I am in awe of hoe everything looks so perfect on your creations. I’ll keep your husband in my prayers. Wishing him and you the very best today. Thanks for sharing!
this beautiful!

Oh Becca!!!
I lifted you and your DH up in Prayer today…can’t wait for your update!!!
It would be such an honor to be the recipient of one of your creations. I know your friends and family are so blessed to be able to enjoy your talent. I would love it if you shared what some of their reactions have been. (I’ll bet they all look forward to receiving cards from you!!!) I know I would “TREASURE” them.
10,000 Blessings,
Valerie Martin
Beautiful, those pearls do make a wonderful accent as well as that beautiful ribbon, love your borders to go with it!
Wishing your husband well!
How can your creations continue to get more & more beautiful???
Prayers to your dear husband…
Your cards are always beautiful! So elegant. I really enjoy the opportunity to view them. Hope your husband’s surgery went well.
Wondering if the op is over now and praying all went well and that recovery will be plain sailing :o)
And still you think of us! Blog candy and pearl with rose candy.
Becca! How do you do it?
Gorgeous!
Hugs to you both

Oh my goodness – how gorgeous it this card!!!
Will pray for husband also.
bonsoir
un véritable bijou cette nouvelle carte ; je suis complétement sous le charme !
bravo
bye
Becca.
Another stunner!!!! I am loving all the pink and white. Probably because it surrounds my world right now having two twin (5 mo. old) grandaughters. Seems like everything for little girls these days is pink.
Clothes anyway!!! Looking forward to another double play. They are really fun trying to figure out the outcome. Best of luck with Hubbies operation. I’m sure he will do just fine, afterall he is in all of our prayers.

Becca, you never cease to amaze me! This card is breathtaking! So inspiring! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Cheryl
Oh, Becca! Those pearls are stunning!!! It makes such a beautiful statement. Another winner!! C:o)
Stunning, Becca! I’ve seen these pearl swirls and wondered about them, so it’s nice to see how you used them. Love the peachy roses, too!
Becca, Just wanted to say I just noticed the upgrade to your blog with the ‘You Might Also Like…’ feature is really great and will definetly do well to promote all your great cards of the past years :)
Love your card and thoughts and prayers to your DH. I love that you try to improve yourself as well. My latest is losing weight and cleaning house. I hear they go hand in hand…I have visions of a svelte self and clean, clutter free home one day.
WOW…totally stunning…that rose bud trim is drop dead gorgeous! Glad to hear hubbies surgery went well. xL
I hope all goes well with the surgery! Your card is absolutely stunning!!
Okay, Becca. Did you stamp the paper and then crinkle it. Or did you crinkle it and than stamp it. (I would think this second way would be harder to get a good stamping.) LOL! You seem to be on a pink and white spree!
What a beautiful sympathy card!! I love the way you mitred the corners.
Can’t wait to try it.
The way I’m working on becoming a better me today is to apply the words from a sermon I heard recently, Obedience Without Hesitation.
Hesitation and procrastination is where I’m focusing right now.
