Good morning crafty friends!  It has been a productive week for me and I am walking more than ever.  This week I got caught up on all my mailings for Day of Giving Friday.  I have six cards here that are boxed and ready to go, just waiting for the winner to claim them.  Please check the name list found at this link –>Giveaway Winners<– and scroll down, there are cards that have not been claimed since March of this year and I’d love to send them out.  Today I’m sharing a new card that is up for grabs in our giveaway today.

For my card I started with a lovely embossed background using Spellbinders Overlapping Circles.  I framed the card using Spellbinders Pierced Rectangles and planted a decorative border at the top using Spellbinders Deco Duality.  The sentiment was stamped on layered Spellbinders Standard Circles Small and then trimmed to fit along the bottom.

My favorite part of the card is the flowers; I used Spellbinders Stack and Fan Flowers.  For these flowers, the eight petals are connected together using a brad on one end then – I spritzed them and scrunched them to give them a different look connected the holes on the other end of each petal to form the loop.  The petite spiral flowers are made using one of the petals, then I used the same die, the petals for the Stack and Fan Flowers, to make the swag along the bottom of the card.  My goodness, that was one of those things that once done, a zillion ideas popped into my head about making these swags!  I added greenery to the flowers using Spellbinders Floral Berry Accents.

    Your card is beautiful Becca – as always. Your gift is such an inspiration to all who have the privilege of seeing it – whether in person or on line!
    My dream – and prayer right now is for my husband to peacefully go on to Heaven where I will one day meet him. I know this decision is in the Lord’s good timing and the days are short before this happens. Praying this is the way he will go.

  • LoisSeptember 23, 2016 - 12:24 pm

    I have not made a card using a “frame” Your’s is so nicely made. My words of hope are from my confirmation verse (59 year’s ago) which is Matt 28:20 – Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the ages. In the KJV it is even unto the end of the world. I went to Africa to do nursing a few years after this, and remembered that verse because I thought I was at the end of the world. But it is the hope I have that Jesus is always with me.
    Glad to hear you are walking more. Have a blessed weekend.ReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSSeptember 23, 2016 - 12:29 pm

    Especially beautiful card today, Becca. Glad to hear the foot is doing better. My words of hope is the Lord only asks you to take on what He thinks you can handle. I live my life under this hope. I also hope that our Nation will be at peace very soon. God Bless.

    I read your listing in my email and have for years. I rarely comment because my life is so so very busy and I barely have time for reading and enjoying your beautiful cards but I thought I would send a little note today to tell you how once again your ideas on card making are so very remarkable. I can’t imagine how you keep coming up with so many beautiful ideas. Also wanted to tell you I pray for you and for your family and feel like I almost know you all. Your story about lightning brought back memories to me about our own lightning adventures. I am so glad you are on the mend now and I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have never won a card from you but my goodness how exciting that would be to have a “BECCA” original. May God continue to bless you all ….. DeniceReplyCancel

  • Maryann LaursenSeptember 23, 2016 - 12:52 pm

    What a gorgeous card here once again Becca. I love the soft look and the romantic feel to it. Just soooo beautiful as ever.

  • Doreen RitchieSeptember 23, 2016 - 1:02 pm

    Wow, Becca, when I opened your blog, this card took my breath away. It’s absolutely stunning! What words of hope can I share today? – well some people say time heals but I say time will help you cope better with a loss which you can never forget. Time gives you the opportunity to move on, while still remembering all the love you shared.

  • Karen M. RothSeptember 23, 2016 - 1:16 pm

    What a lovely card. I love the sentiment as I am in the process of setting my website and online store up after Dreaming about it since 2004.

    So my words of hope are these– Never let go of your God-given dreams ( These are the ones that just never go away no matter how many times you have given them up.) Remain Flexible about how they are accomplished though as God does not always do things according to our own whims and desires. Remember that God is your strength and that your weaknesses just may be a strong testimony to someone else.ReplyCancel

    Gorgeous Card Becca. So good to hear that your foot is doing so much better. Hope your house has been totally restored by now as well.

    My words of wisdom for today: No matter how bad things seem to get, just take a look around and there are always many out there who are far worse off. Say a prayer and keep the faith and knowing the man upstairs works in mysterious ways. Trust in him.

    So glad you are feeling lots better, enjoy your weekend. We are doing a Car Boot Sale at our Church tomorrow, this evening we got all the Church’s items set up in our School Hall, tomorrow morning we have to set up for all the other people who want a table inside the School or want to sell from their Car Boot outside. It is a very busy two days but hopefully we will get some much-needed funds for our Church heating.

    Good Afternoon Becca,
    The card for this Friday is quite lovely and I really like the fantastic flowers you crafted from your Stack and Fan Flowers Spellbinders set. Using the set to make the scalloped border on the bottom added a great touch to the card.
    My words of hope: Even the DARKEST of times can be survived in the company of loving, caring friends; JOYOUS times shared by those same friends are multiplied a thousand times because they appreciate the journey taken.
    Take care of yourself. May you always be surrounded by loving and caring friends and family.

    I have been really blessed by Beth Moore’s series called He Is. It is so wonderful to be reminded that God is present and powerful right now. He has the power and desire to change our thoughts and attitudes and to bring peace the very moment we need Him.

    Hello Becca. I am always awed by the fact God sends his angel to help us and be near us at all times. There are evil sources out there, too, but they have no control over me as I am a child of God. That’s my story. Your cards are amazing. I have so many different styles I have tried over the years, but your style is what I always return to. Guess I’m learning to do what comes natural to you. Myra from FloridaReplyCancel

  • SuzzieQSeptember 23, 2016 - 7:26 pm

    Your card is lovely. I especially like your flowers and the “rice” pearl on the top adornment on your card. Glad you are getting around and about more now after your surgery. My words of hope today are that United States’ citizens can understand we are all the same and deserve the same respect and opportunities in our country. This needless killing and looting has to stop! There is a better way to communicate.ReplyCancel

  • Joni StonekingSeptember 23, 2016 - 7:53 pm

    All pretty and pink today! Lovely card.

    Hmm, what word of hope. Choose to believe that most people always do their best – it’s just that (like ourselves) some days, their best is better than others. Giving grace on those days is a good thing.

  • Sara AlfordSeptember 23, 2016 - 7:57 pm

    Wowie, wowie, wowie!!! Becca, that is gorgeous. It is glamourous
    sophisticated and at the same time so little girl feminine.
    Love it! Hope for me is just being patient. A good nights sleep always helps to put things in perspective. Tragedy, loss and heartbreak are hard to wake up to each morning. Life seems to throw us curves all of the time. I am a prayerful person. I love to hug someone who is hurting. If God is part of your life then there is always HOPE. HE seems to bend the burden to the back so that the burden can be carried. If HE takes you to it, HE will get you through it. When I was at my lowest point, I was told by my Doctor to go help someone else. I was upset at first, but then I decided to join the Community 24 Hour Help Line as a Listener. Six years later I truly knew what HOPE was. It is Helping Others Persevere, Endlessly!ReplyCancel

  • MildredSeptember 23, 2016 - 8:04 pm

  • Joanne LoweSeptember 24, 2016 - 4:05 pm

    Oh, Becca, I LOVE it when I’m looking and looking at an ingenious element of one of your cards (which I find to my delight OFTEN :) ), thinking “what IS that, and how did she do it” about that bottom swag layer, and how COOL was that!!! I own many of your dies and stamps, they are just to my taste and your sentiments address so many that I wanted, and we share the same spiritual heritage too. :) So I was THRILLED to realize that I own that flower set and I can try that. THANK YOU!!!

    I am always fascinated by the flowers you create, I love flowers myself and wish I was a much better colorist for one… :) I love creating my own take on flowers too, it pleases me to no end to create something on my own I haven’t seen before. And of course sometimes all I create is a muddy mess, but other times–the joy of creating something really pretty and different is wonderful! Wishing I had the ability (physical) to do that more and to create cards more. Hopefully when my craft room is totally reorganized, I’ll be able to spend a lot more time in there, can’t wait!

    Yours was I believe the first blog that I HAD to subscribe to and was so excited when I’d receive your blog updates, and I still feel that way today about your cards and whatever you have created–your kits (bought all of them), your stamp sets, and your dies (of which I have many), your bow maker (have)–I’m so grateful for all of your success, and pray that God will bring to you many many more blessings to a woman who has so much talent and you share your creations and your innovations with us so freely. Let me say how grateful I am!!!ReplyCancel

  • Sherry RoseSeptember 24, 2016 - 8:23 pm

    Once again, Becca…simply gorgeous! Here’s some inspiration I shared with friends today:

    Think about this today, if only for a moment: It is nothing short of a miracle that you exist, that you were born, that you survived, and grew, that you can think, that you can love. Stop hating and start helping. Stop taking and start giving. Stop passing by the fallen and help them to stand. Live to your full potential.ReplyCancel

  • D.Ann CSeptember 25, 2016 - 10:09 pm

    How sweet! Who’d’ve thought the swag was from a flower leaf! Genius!
    My favorite words of hope: sometimes we feel like the Psalmist: “I am solitary & afflicted. Distresses of my heart have multiplied.” (PS. 25: 16, 17) When we turn to God in prayer, he replies: “DO not be afraid, for I am with you… I will fortify you. I will really help you…” (Is. 41:10, 13)ReplyCancel
