I know I promised a post, but I’ve been parked in front of the TV all day preoccupied with the election. Big hugs to all my American friends – it’s been a long haul to get to this day. No hints as to who I’m for, I’m simply so proud to be an American, first and foremost. Thanks to all of my foreign friends who have lifted us up and supported us as neighbors. No matter who you vote for, today is a historical day for our country. If you look at my Amazing Quotes, the daily quote is one that caught my attention and captures the anticipation that everybody feels. God Bless America and God Bless us all!!
Might you all remember this card HERE? It’s featured on the SCS Technique Challenge this week. I hope you’ll try to make one this week. It’s one of the easiest techniques I’ve shown. I promise once I’ve cleared the election, I’ll be back to creating.
Don’t forget about the Blog Candy that I’ll be pulling a winner for tomorrow morning, 11/5/08. You can add your comments to THIS POST if you want to be eligible.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’ll continue to visit with me.
That card is gorgeous! Lovely!
I just got back from voting, and may I say it was one of the easiest voting processes ever~ :)

Love all the new ideas for the Cuttlebug embossing. I’m thinking ahead to Valentine’s day…I may use the circle cut with the corner punch for my cards with a sparkly red heart in the center.
I have been glued to the t.v. all night as well. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I am a Canadian and know that this day will effect the whole world. God Bless All of you.
I did make a card with that idea and loved it, I think yours is jsut awesome!! Thanks so much Blog candy, love it!!
No matter who wins: God is still God, Jesus is still Lord and
the Holy Spirit will still protect and comfort us.
Becca, this is one of my favorite cards and I’ve made a ton
of them. They are so pretty. Thanks for your wonderful
ideas.
It’s great to be an American! Anxiously awaiting the results. Pray for our nation, whichever candidate is elected.
Thanks for the change to win the Blog Candy!
I can hardly believe how amazing this card is – I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent post Becca!! I voted absentee ballot weeks ago… so this today has taken forever to get here for me!! No matter the result at the polls, I am always ever proud to be an American!!
hugs, Jami
Becca – I am in agreement with you – God Bless America and I’m proud to be a part of this great country. I continue to pray for our nation and the soldiers fighting on our behalf. As you stated, this is a historical day and happy to be involved in that process. Have a great evening – Janet
Your card is beautiful, TFS. I’ve tried the circle and corner punch and it is very easy to do.
No matter who wins this election, Our God is Sovereign. Praise to His Holy name. I too am proud to be an American.
This is an elegant card. Such soft colors, wonderful layout. I have not tried this technique yet.
Some things are well worth waiting for, and with a historic election such as this one, it’s no wonder you and I’m sure many others can not concentrate to make a card!

I am Australian, and of a rather ‘mature age’, and earlier this year I graduated from University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in History. The last 4 semesters I took American history, and I became ‘hooked’. All year I watched your election lead-up with immense interest, and today when I left work I couldn’t wait to turn on the car radio. Within minutes I had the news I had waited for – “Yes! Yes! Yes!” I shouted as I drove along. (I had concentrated on African American issues throughout the courses – my social conscience was born in your 60s civil rights movements ). A huge CONGRATULATIONS to you all.
Just recently I discovered your blog, Becca, and yours is one of three I check every day. Your talent is incredible, and SO inspiring. Many thanks. Also congratulations on your very well deserved ‘appointments’ this week.
Jennifer.
In the words of the song: “Oh, what a beautiful morning!”. I am so thankful the power of television enabled me to share history in the making with you throughout this last night: CONGRATULATIONS to you all.
God Bless America.

How could I ever forget that card! It’s stunning!!
That card is ‘amazing’, as is your God-given talent. I can understand your excitement at the results of the election to the highest office in your nation. Bless you, and your fellow Americans, and I hope the next four years bring you peace and calm, regardless of who wins. You are all winners to be living in freedom.
I will certainly try your technique (nestie circle with EK punch) as I am in the midst of trying to make a leaf medallion…thanks for the solution to my idea!

I love coming here. There is always fresh note of inspiration. Whether it’s a card, a note, or a tutorial… I always go away with a smile… Just as I’m doing now.
Have a great day!
