Hi there blog friends!! Did you notice that I didn’t get to play Mojo Monday last week? Oh, I was fretting. I had to leave for the airport to go to CHA at 6am and all I could think (me, Miss. “Takes 5 hours on a card sometimes”), can I get it in before I leave? In other words, can I get some square elements and round elements done to anticipate what the sketch might be? I could maybe have a card base done and ready. Who does this? You can tell I had it bad. Well that’s just the way it goes when you establish a routine, so you can just imagine my satisfaction with being home to do Mojo201 this week. So this week I took one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sentiments from the Not Forgotten and flipped its application so that I could widen it’s use. This set was designed to be used for Patriotic cards and perhaps cards for the troops. For my application today, it can be used for sympathy, remembrance or for a distant friend. Oh, also I flipped the Mojo201 sketch by rotating it clockwise 90 degrees. This is an amazing sketch that in my opinion can also be flipped 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees – can’t beat that!
Decorations and embellishments are an amazing way to color your sentiment. Of course if this had been red, write and blue you would have known it was thank a soldier. As it is, with vintage tones and subdued flowers and tea dyed lace, it can certainly go for those other occasions. I like to stretch what I have, sometimes I love the challenge of making it work in an unexpected way. It’s just the little things, right?!?
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – You Are Not Forgotten Paper: My Minds Eye, Bazzill, Websters Pages Postcards (digital) Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Accessories: Bazzill Button, Seam Binding, Tim Holtz Ticket, Recollections Flower, Buttons, Pearls |
Yay, I stamped!! It felt so good! I hope you are off to a great week . . . just for you, I’m wishing it so!!
ETA: Reader Kaia (Comment #12) so thankfully reminded me to say a prayer for the teens who lost their life in Norway. It was quite a horrific tragedy that happened several days ago and I want our foreign neighbors to know that our prayers are with you. Kaia, if you are reading, please let me know if there is somewhere to send sympathy cards.
Love It … another card well done. Thanks for sharing!
your cards always look like they take forever they are just beautiful, susan
It was aok, wasn’t it. Yes, we sometimes get really stuck in a routine and to stop it sometimes it feels like punching one’s way out of a paper bag…LOL
I haven’t had much time for card making and that is so very sadbut…. I am so blessed with all your wonderful beauties you allow to pass before my eyes. Thanks for being such a blessing. Your work is always so expressive and meaningful. Have a blessed week.
Hugs, Jeanielou in PA
wonderful!
It’s a nice card but a bit too busy for me.
First comment! wow!! I was your “stalker” at CHA. I’m sure the Just-Rite people told you about the crazy lady who kept looking for you and babbling about what a genius you are. You were walking the floor and I tried to find you. I did meet Debbie Olsen in the Copic booth. I always open your blog and hers and end up gasping at the beauty. Love the vintage colors hereu
Hi Becca, Can’t believe I’m the first commenter! Lovely card, and aren’t you clever to be able to use this sentiment with such versatility. I would NEVER think to do that. Is why I enjoy what YOU do so much, because you DO think of such things. You are inspiring. Hope you have a great week. Stay cool. Blessings.
Love the purple and gold combo, very pretty.
LOVE IT Becca!!!
What a gorgeous card Becca. You´ve just done it again dear friend, made a wonderful creation, that is over the moon. So love it.
What a wonderful vintage feel this card has. Just beautiful! – as usual. Thank you for inspiring me once again.
Watching thousands of Norwegians gathering in the streets today with flowers in remembrance of the many people who died in the massacre in our country, I feel this card reach out to us today. Your creations are always beautiful, thanks for sharing.
This is simply lovely, Becca. I seem to have fallen in love with vintage and you do it so well. Thanks for making my day.
Beautiful. Love this lace you are using.

This is gorgeous Becca, I love these colors which are my favorites. Love how you put the panel askew it is a place for the eyes to follow along. Love all of the embellishments. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

Very, very pretty!
Becca,
Love your card! it is so vintage! I know that you were inspired at CHA and I can’t wait to see what you show us next!
I really like the antique feel to this card. Really rich, vintage colors. I agree we need to remember people all over the world who are just trying to live a just life and end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hi Becca, I love what you’ve done here. it has sophistication and sentiment.
As always you have your own beautiful style. I just love to look each day and see what you’ve created.
Lots of love,
Cynthia
Yes, please let us know if we can send cards for the Norwegians…my heart goes out to them. And, Becca, your card is beautiful!
What a classy and elegant card! So beautiful!
On behalf of us Norwegians , i will thank you so much on your prayers and thoughts <3
I suppose you are updatedon the fact, that this were the work of just one very sick person.
The youth gathered at Utøya are in the mind and hearts of all of us. Not to forget the people downtown Oslo, but there all happened so fast.
The Norwegian colours are the same as the American, red,blue and whit – and i would love to see you make a memorycard for this sad reason.
Sorry if i have misspelled any words…
Thank you for saying you sometimes take 5 hours to make a card !!. I have been kicking myself because I am so slow . You made my day!
I thought Top designers like you who post cards nearly every day just whip them out while I take forever to compete one card.
Great card too!
The deaths and injuries in Norway brakes my heart. Praying for all the victims, loved ones and the country it’s self.
I am so glad to hear it takes you so long to make a card. It makes me feel better that it take me hours to make a card as well.
As always your card today is stunning. Love the colors and composition. Perfection.
Blessings Bernie
My heart breaks for the Norwegians in their tragedy!! This mad man took away the trust and innocence of the peaceful Norwegian people . So sad
I was so excited to get to meet you at CHA! This is gorgeous! Love your work!
Oh how I look forward to seeing your new cards and fantastic ideas!! My creative juices flow and I am pumped for a day of crafting….
Beautiful card, I love that lace and your odbd sentiment works just great. You are so funny gf, mojoing on the way to the airport. It’s a wonder you weren’t putting tog a card on the plane. LOL
You are such a wonderfully, thoughtful person Becca. I really like the way you used this stamp in a newly expanded way. So many people like to know that they are not forgotten. Thanks for remembering the teens too.
I love the colors and layour of this card.
I also realized that you did not use any spellbinders on this card!!! WOW!!!

This card made me stop and think how many are missing from my life and knowing how many times I think of them. I can’t even imagine the pain the people in Norway are going through. This world can be so cruel. Won’t it be a wonderful day when our Lord comes back!!!!!!!!!!! In the mean time, I will cling to the good and kindness and peace of the day. God bless…..Denice
Beautiful card Becca!!

It is important to remind people that they are not forgotten. You have given us a very creative way to remind our friends of that. Thanks. :)
I was so saddened to hear of the senseless attacks in Norway…….especially the young people at the camp. My prayers go out to their families in this time of grief.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful card. I have been away from a computer for 3 weeks so I have some catching up on your cards. Kindest regards

Becca your are amazing. I had the chance to talk with you at CHA by the Spellbinder booth and am amazed that each day you come up with a work of art. You can take any stamp company and make the most beautiful creations. You are a true artist. TFS

This card is absolutely beautiful. I enjoy your work soooooo much. Keep up the amazing work. I stell need to know where you find that seam binding.
Dear Becca,
All of your cards are the most beautiful, magazine,art worthy I have ever seen. But that is the problem I am having now viewing your cards. They are all TOO over powering for someone so new to cardmaking. Now I’m suggesting you to change your style or anything, but ………
A very big fan,
Cledith
Take heart, at least your cards look like they take 5 hours or longer to make. I so enjoy looking at them, thanks for sharing your incredible talent.
Beautiful card Becca :) I tried to leave a comment last night but don’t know why it wouldn’t publish :(. I recently subscribed to your blog so I can keep up to date with your wonderful creations and tutorials, love this card :). I too am remembering the people of Norway in prayer :( what a total tragedy :( :(
Oops just seen my comment did publish Becca …. Lol :)
So many beautiful elements on this card. It would take me a week to do.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Becca, Your work is so inspiring. I love everything about it
The new Spellbinders lace doily motif has made my heart skip a beat-actually several beats. I can hardly wait for it to be available in stores but maybe I can win it here. Wouldn’t that be nice?!?!?
