A Little Bless You

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Heirloom Oval and Victorian Tags - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Hey there blog friends!  Since last Sunday I’ve had 20 hours in a car, 10 hours in a mall, many hours eating and more hours than I can count being plain ole happy.  There and back, I’m home again in my cozy home with my familiar things – yep, there’s no place like home……ah, where my craft room is :-)  I finished up a card laying on the table and thought I’d share it.  I picked a cool aqua color and embellished it with Spellbinders Heirloom Oval and Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy (used the nice full oval).
Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Heirloom Oval and Victorian Tags (close up) - www.amazingpapergrace.com
I picked a tiny sentiment that I use quite often – bless you.   It fits perfectly on Spellbinders Victorian Tags; a nice fit and it doesn’t cover up too much of my background.  Are you being crafty in this heavenly carefree time between holidays?  I’m eager to hear what you’re up to this week, whether kicking back to spend time in front of the TV or catching up on computer or just taking it easy.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Stamps: Wordsworth – Everyday Greetings
Craft Paper
: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – Smooth, My Minds Eye
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder
Accessories: Spellbinders Heirloom Oval, Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy,  Spellbinders Victorian TagsMay Arts Silk Ribbon, button

Don’t forget . . . come by on New Years Eve, if you can.  It’s been a while since I had blog candy and this is a good one :-)  I also have a video (finally) that I’ll be sharing at the end of the week too!!

    Such a pretty card and lovely sentiment!
    Glad you have had a good time, despite the long car rides.
    Just arriving at Gatwick airport in the UK and will be in Florida late afternoon US time where we’ll meet our eldest and husband who have flown down from Washington. I gather it’s very hot – such a contrast to the crisp frosty morning here.

    Hello Becca
    Bristol is white this morning, we had a really deep frost, it makes all the smoke from chimney pots, flow in straight lines to the sky, and the house lights twinkle!
    Like a Christmas card!
    I love this card especially the Aqua against the Roses ….beautiful!
    Thank you for the inspiration too!
    Take care Becca
    Love MargReplyCancel

    Here in Denmark it´s also all white outside and a clear frosty morning, and very cold unfortunately, so I sure wish I was in a very warm and sunny place right now too LOL.
    Great to hear, you had such a good Hoæiday with your family and that you´re back home safely too.
    Your card is just as always soo beautiful and just perfect in any way. I love the soft look of it and the beautiful colors on it too.
    Really looking forward to see a lot more of your wonderful work in the new year again, and all my best wishes for a very Happy New Year to you and everybody else here too.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    Joy to you this New Year. You have filled my crafting life with wonderful ideas and inspiration and I pray this will continue. (that will be Joy to me this new year :) ) Glad to hear you had a nice break away and you are safely back home. No place like home. This is another beautiful card, thank you for sharing. Loving the dies. HAPP NEW YEAR for 2015 to you and your bloggers, from me in little ‘ol Australia where it is rather hot at the moment.

    Becca, this is so beautiful. It is a delight to see this beautiful creation. You have out done yourself. Thanks for sharing, m.ReplyCancel

  • Clare WDecember 29, 2014 - 3:58 am

    Lovely card as always – love that tag, the bow and the button especially – glad you are home safely – sometimes I find you need to go away as it often makes you see your home in a new and better light! I tried making one of your bracelets but I think I wound the wax cord too tight as when I went to curl it about my wrist I broke the rhinestone chain – so will undo it and have another go sometime. This time of year I do a 2015 list of all the cards I need to make, in date order – so that’s to be done any day and then I shall batch make 6 or so female bday cards, as these are required in Jan & Feb. It’s bright, sunny but cold here in the UK at the mo, but I quite like it that way – looking forward to the video.ReplyCancel

    gorgeous card. I love seeing your new creations. ypu’re so inspirational. glad you had a wonderful holiday. I spend my time between holidays resting and getting ready for it to begin again. this year i’m trying to figure out where to put some of my new crafty stuff. I really enjoy playing tennis so i’m planning my annual “protest to college football all day on tv” pick up tennis match. I find many like minded ladies and sometimes a gent or two and we play tennis on new years day. sometimes it’s not pretty but we always get a good laugh and have great fellowship. hope you have a wonderful new year.ReplyCancel

    Just back from two weeks in Chicago helping my daughter recoup from shoulder surgery.

  • ConniecrafterDecember 29, 2014 - 8:49 am

    Yes I agree there is nothing like home, it was nice having the kids home but the house gets turned upside down, it is nice to be back to my routine. Hoping to get some play time in but not yet.
    Your card is just lovely, like the banner with the bow, pretty background for the sentiment!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    So glad you home safely and that you had a lovely Christmas with the family. The family came to us and yesterday I was quite tired but ready to go again today! So thankful to have the health and strength to do these things.
    Really like this card – love the colours used and especially the sentiment and bow!
    Thank you for sharing your lovely cards in 2014.
    We are going away with another couple for three nights at New Year! After all the entertaining I am so looking forward to it.
    Happy New Year everyone – all being well.

    Hi Becca,
    Greetings from a very cold, frosty Newcastle in the U.K. Another beautiful card from you today, and you sound just like Dorothy clicking her red sparkly shoes and saying “there’s no place like home”!
    I’m hoping to start making my “Thank you” cards tomorrow, and will then make a start on my March birthday cards. The January and February cards are already made as I have lots of Jan cards to send starting the 1st, and if I don’t have them made before Christmas, well they won’t get made!!
    Glad you’ve had a lovely Christmas and wish you and yours the very best New Year, filled with health, happiness and peace. xxReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisDecember 29, 2014 - 5:29 pm

    Lovely card and ornate die choices. Because we have a big family on both sides there have been parties galore which have left us happy but exhausted. Therefore, we are reading and resting before the fireplace a lot and taking the time to look into God’s Word more to build our spirits. We have had lots of good food for our bodies, lots of beautiful homes for our senses and now good food for the soul. Hope the New Year brings much joy to you!ReplyCancel

  • Marilyn in E-TownDecember 29, 2014 - 6:29 pm

    Stunning card! Love everything about it, especially your bow! There’s nothing like being with family for the holidays, feeling all the unconditional love, then the joy and memories we carry home with us. Becca you are so true “there is no place like home” and the comfort of our craft rooms! Glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas!ReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSDecember 29, 2014 - 9:50 pm

    Hey Becca —–
    I have been catching up with my Sis who is visiting from Ohio until Friday. Lots of catching up to do since not seeing her since early Sept. She and I did quite a bit of cardmaking prior to Christmas. Since then, not too much, just a lot of talking and ramming the roads.
    Love this card today as aqua is one of my favorite colors. God Bless you and catch up with you on New Years Eve. Can’t think of a better way to spend the holiday than with YOU!!

    You are such an amazing paper card crafter. I would love to come home after traveling to such a craft room as yours. Alas mine is a hodge podge of different items from different companies, a variety of products and I have to buy every item at usually full price. I am not on a design team, nor get free products from any company. I am slightly computer challenged , 72 years old, and am on a retirement income. But I love making cards, do the best I can with what I have, but my wish list is SOOO long. I would love to win your blog candy and get some new things. I only have the plain Spellbinders up to level 20. You have so many fancy dies and layer them so beautifully. It boggles the mind. Thanks for the opportunity. Have a blessed New Years, MarthaReplyCancel

My prayer is that 2015 will be a much better year than 2014 health wise. Our daughter had 3 major back surgeries that have not ended well. I have strong faith that 2015 will be much better. May 2015 be a Blessed year for you.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, I have been following you for a while now and I love the style and elegance of your cards. They are always so beautiful. I especially love your bows and thankfully you showed us how to make them…I’m hoping to be able to get into my craft room more often and try all the amazing techniques I’ve been itching to try….Here in Australia, we have been touched by acts of terrorism. I hope we, none of us, ever have those horrors visited on us, ever again. That’s my prayer for 2015. I wish everyone reading these comments a happy, safe and healthy new year, with lots of time for your favourite craft past-times……..ReplyCancel
