Hey you guys, check out this link HERE on Jennifer McGuire’s blog, that one of my readers queued me in on.

Jennifer McGuire thank you so very much!! :63

 

By the way, you all pushed me over the 200,000 hit mark, so next week I’ll be gathering some items to offer for blog candy.   I’m just trying to think of what kind of Becca twist to create to make it a little bit more exciting than regular blog candy..he..he..

    Good afternoon, Becca and congratulations to you, both on your ever spreading reputation for your special talent and reaching over the 200,000 mark on your blog. I’m feeling just a tad proud myself that my own small contribution helped you to achieve that :).
    I would really miss reading your blog now on a daily basis and seeing what your little grey cells have produced by way of a new masterpiece for us to enjoy.ReplyCancel

    Becca,

    Hey lady. Jennifer McGuire was asking on her blog one day for us to tell her who was our favorite blogger, so I named you and gave her a link to your blog. Yes it was me, I’m the one with the big mouth. She emailed me back and said she loved your blog, and posted a link to it on her blog. I just couldn’t help myself, I love your work. I haven’t heard from you in awhile, drop me a line.

    Thank you for inspiring me to do better. Your work is wonderful. God Bless.ReplyCancel

Oh my goodness, I did not anticipate the response to the card I posted yesterday for the Friends of Flourishes announcement.  Can I just say that I have the most wonderful readers…no, I really, really mean it!  This blog has been a blessing to me; it has really kept me engaged, optimistic and grateful.  Grateful for all the wonderful folks that stop by and grateful for all the folks that I’m able to chat with through email.

You all push me to do my very best . . . and for that I sincerely thank you.

Well you asked for it, so I put together a tutorial on how to do the circle frame from this card here. The wild thing about the tutorial is that it is a video tutorial.   Now anyone who knows me will be very shocked and laugh, because this is simply not my M.O.   Oh well, wilder things have happened.  The video quality is not what I envisioned when I started but I’m sure that research will help me choose better options.   Please enjoy, keeping in mind that I’ve never done this before and figured out how to do the whole thing, from A to Z, tonite!   Yikes –  Flip Video 101, how to get it into laptop, how to edit it, how to add title, how to save it, sign up for YouTube, how to upload it, how to embed it in blog.  I am woman, hear me roar (lol)!!

Yes, we interrupt the regularly scheduled post . . .for a video tutorial!  I had another Friends of Flourishes post prepared for today, but I will gladly post it tomorrow.   Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your kind words!!

{{Big Hugs – Becca}}

    Good evening, Becca – I’m a tad later this evening. I did so enjoy your tutorial; thank you so much for sharing with us how you did that beautiful circle. I must sus out my own corner punches now ( well not just now, ‘cos it’s 11.25p.m. here) and see if I have that particular one, although your designs with your other punches are beautiful too. You are such an innovative young lady. To boot, I enjoyed hearing your voice. So now I can put your voice to your photo when I’m reading your daily contributions. I hope now that you have had your baptism of fire and dived in at the deep end ( how’s that for mixed metaphors, eh! ) you will permit us more video tutorials on your lovely cards.ReplyCancel

  • BarbSeptember 3, 2008 - 4:46 pm

    Becca, great, great job on your first video!!!! I actually tried this yesterday and had great success doing it. I also used a scalloped Nestie for mine. You way was a lot easier than my way of doing it though, lol! I just grabbed Nesties and tried different sizes of scalloped circles until I found one that worked out perfectly for my corner punch. This was really fun with awesome results- you are just a genious :D ! Have a blessed evening.

    Becca,
    I wanted to thank you for sharing this great technique. You are gifted. It’s wonderful to inspire others!ReplyCancel

I have been busting at the seams trying to hold in some news I’m so happy to now share. 
Flourishes has created a new team, called Friends of Flourishes!!  

It is a team of talented bloggers handpicked to showcase Flourishes Stamps; I am so honored to be among the cast of stars that were picked for this new adventure.   Believe me, when I received the email, I had to pinch myself !   So, throughout the month, I’ll have cards using Flourishes stamps to share and hopefully inspire you.   I have new links in my sidebar showing the all the Friends of Flourishes – be sure to pop over to the Flourishes newsletter to read about each of these talented cardmakers – Joan Bardee – Paperlicious, Cindy Haffner – Cindy Haffner’s Corner, Cindy Lawrence – OneHappyScrapper and Laura Fredrickson – Scrapnextras.

For my first card I used the Flourishes Damask background – it has become a staple in my collection!  It’s a very elegant stamp that alone makes for a very classic card.  I love a go-to type of stamp that I know will accomplish every occasion.  For this one, I picked birthday, can you ever have enough birthday cards? 

The card base is a ribbed cardstock called Cottonwood, layered on top was Aloe topped with Cucumber paper all from The Paper Company.  The Cucumber layer is embossed with new Welcome Baby Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  The focal image is a medallion made from a large nestie scalloped circle stamped with the Flourishes Damask stamp with Versamagic Aquatic.  The punched top layer is made from a corner punch used on a nestie solid circle  and is embellished with half pearls.  (Note, once punched the center falls out and you are left with a wonderful filigree type frame).  Thin cream ribbon paired with a Nestabilities Ribbon Tag holds the sentiment Birthday Wishes stamped in SU Sage Shadow.  The Birthday Wishes sentiment was created from another Flourishes set –  Flourished Words – yes another staple to my collection.  With these two sets I feel like I can tackle any occasion.  The card screamed for a large bow – I caved in!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Flourishes Damask, Flourished Words
Paper:  Aloe, Cucumber, Cottonwood – The Paper Company
Ink:  Versamagic Aquatic, SU Sage Shadow
Accessories:  Cuttlebug Welcome Baby Embossing Folder, Nestabilities Ribbon Tag Trio, Scalloped Circle, Circle, EK Sucess Corner Punch, Cream Ribbon, Half Pearls

Thanks for stopping by!
