Thank you for an amazing 2013! You’re the best readers in the world and I’ve enjoyed chatting back and forth with many of you. February will make six years that I’ve been blogging and I’m the blessed one – blessed to have met so many of you through my daily posts and quite a few of you since the beginning. Did I say thank you? Well, I honestly can’t say it enough because through the years I’ve had my crafting highs and my crafting lows and the consistent thing is the encouragement and inspiration I’ve found in you. Last year went by in a blur and I’m looking forward to 2014. Thank you again, and Happy New Year!!! Did you see what I’m giving away…..scroll down!!!
Up for grabs is a Spellbinders Artisan X-plorer. This is an item that is sponsored by me and will be sent by me, and if you’re not familiar with the machine you can check out the specifications HERE. Starting today, you can leave one comment per day on this post only until the opportunity ends at Midnight CST on January 5, 2014. In your comment each day, tell me a word that will figure prominently in your plans for 2014. A winner will be selected on the morning of January 8th with a blog post announcing the winner. So be sure to bookmark this blog post as the first week of January is going to be busy on my blog (I’ll be posting for Waltzingmouse Stamps, JustRite Papercrafts with new stamps I designed and don’t forget Spellbinders Blog Frenzy starts on January 6th with prizes sponsored by Spellbinders – it’s a lot to keep straight!!) Once announced the winner has 48 hours to reach out to me through my contact page to leave me their mailing address and claim their prize. If no response by the winner with 48 hours, I’ll pull another name.
By the way, are you a subscriber? Hint, hint. sign up! There are three ways to subscribe to my work – through Email, through Pinterest and through YouTube. I love to reward all my subscribers that have stood by me through the years. Keep an eye on this post because it will be edited to include three additional bonus winnings available.
One will be added on January 2nd, January 3rd and January 4th, but you won’t know unless you come and see what it’s all about. The Artisan X-Plorer is quite heavy, for that reason shipping will be restricted to the United States however, the bonus add-ons which weigh considerably less than 8 pounds, will be open to my sweet international readers. I hope this is the best of both worlds!
Don’t confuse this Candy I’m offering – that is not sponsored by Spellbinders with the Blog Post I’ll be showing you on January 6th that will show new Spellbinders Dies and the sweepstakes Spellbinders will be running on that day. My post will have clear instructions on how to win – you won’t want to miss it!
Thanks again for a stellar year. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you sweet friends!!

Becca,
I love your blog and am a subscriber via email – love it! I am so inspired by the beautiful creations you share with us. I think a great word that will mean a lot to me in 2014 will be create – I want to make time to sit in my craft room and create!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win the Artisan X-plorer!!
First word on which I plan to focus for 2014 is “Positive”. I think a positive mindset, outlook, etc is the best way to plan for a great start to the new year. Thank YOU for your fabulous blog, the time you spend teaching us what you have created, and for the inspiration you provide. Thank you, too, for the opportunity for such a fantastic blog candy prize!
HOPE is my word for 2014…. it may have to be something I work hard at to achieve my goals. I need to learn to make things happen rather than wait for them.
Thanks so much for offering such a great blog candy prize! I always look forward to seeing your lovely creations!
My thanks goes out to you. For without your inspiration I would not have ventured out into the card making arena. I would still be doing scrapbooks – which had started to become a chore rather than fun – rather than making beautifully inspired cards. Blessed New Year to you.
I love your blog! Can’t wait to see 2014 ideas.
Thanks for the inspiration….
Happy New Year, Becca! Productive is the word I think that will best fit into my card making and crafting this year. Maybe if I say it, I will do it!
Wow what an awesome giveaway! What word that I hope will be a part of my 2014 year…healthier thanks!
TFS Becca…you are always an inspiration. I hope to ‘SHARE’ more in 2014. Happy New Year and blessings throughout the new year.
Hugs,
Jan
This is my first comment to your site. I have been reading and enjoying your designs for several months and decided to subscribe to your newsletter. I am 81 years old, but have always enjoyed crafts of all kinds and have been making cards about 10 years which I design myself. I really admire your work!
My word for 2014 is DESIGN.
I always enjoy receiving your emails and viewing your beautiful creations. My word for 2014 will be “action”…I am always procrastinating and want to change that!
Happy New Year 2014 Becca! Thank you for your creativity, inspiration and for just being you!
And this year I hope to do more CRAFTING! :)
hugs…
Melissa
NOW is my word for 2014. I have had so many projects started and never finished or finished late. DO IT NOW. is the motto for the new year. Thanks for the opportunity to win the new machine. I have a whole photo box of dies & Bezels to make with the class I hope to start as soon as my apartment is available in the retirement home. Only one household in front of me NOW for an apartment after a 3 & 1/2 year wait!
I’d love to win the Artisian Explorer! My word is “creativity”.
Wow. What a prize. I’m really thinking what I could do with this. However, it will not be coming my way, but I think this is so wonderful Becca and very generous of you too. Good Luck Everyone. Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year. Hugs Rita xxxx
Amazing giveaway! Prominent word this year, actually 2 words, wisdom and perspective. Happy New Year
Thank you Becca and Happy New Year! I enjoy your creativity and inspiration. The first word that comes to my mind for 2014 ORGANIZE.
Happy New Year, Becca. I subscribed to your blog years ago. Love every card and project you list. You are always so generous with gifts, cards, ideas and tutorials. Thank you so much. We all love you.
Hugs Cheryl
Hi, Becca. You know I am not much for putting in my two cents so I will just say this; I am inspired by your beauty, inside and out. Everything you put up for us to look at is exquisite and I ASPIRE (my word for the day) to be able to create and pull from my soul as you do. You reflect your powerful positive self in your work and I am grateful to have your teachings you so generously share with all of us. Thank you, Becca, and Happy New Year!
Live you dreams!

Happy New Year Becca! I’ve admired your work, and followed your blog for some time now and am finally leaving a comment! Your work is amazing, you are a very gifted crafter! My word for 2014 is BRAVE. You never know what the future holds but I am going to try to embrace the changes and try to step out of my comfort zone more! God bless!!
Omg! How utterly fantastic! A marvelous giveaway from one of the most incredible card designers! Thanks Becca!
I have been a loyal follower for almost all of those six years. I have watched your style change quite a bit since the beginning. You always inspire me and I am so impressed by your talent.
My word for this post is “expand.” In 2014 I want to expand my crafting to areas unexplored!
Happy New Year Becca. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Being more thankful!
FOCUS…..
Hi Becca. I have been following you since you first started blogging and loving all of your beautiful cards. You are such an inspiration to me in my card making, and although I don’t have as much product as you have access to, I’m able to use what I DO have to make some lovely cards. I would be thrilled to be the lucky winner.
My main word/action for 2014 is VOLUNTEER. I want to help seniors in care homes with making crafts.
Happy New Year, Becca! My word for the new year is “restful”. Had a very busy 2013. Looking forward to some r&r.
Becca,
Your website was the first card blog I saw. I was blown away and have been to your blog, everyday for about 4 years. You inspire me with your talent and inner and outer beauty. Thank your for all your encouraging words and inspirational projects. Happy New Year
Cindy
Happy New Year, Becca!! I just love your blog!! You really inspire me to be more creative. My word for today is to get more ORGANIZED, so that I can get cards done. Thanks so much for your inspiration.
Dee Trogu
Wishing you all the joys and thrills of the New Year! Your offer is amazing, and so demonstrates the generosity of yor spirit. Thank you for the opportunity. Work, commute, and family responsibilities have robbed me the past couple of years of much of my crafting time and/or energy. So my goal for 2014 is to somehow, someway find more creative time for myself. My soul is fed by creative processes and I can feel the difference in myself if I don’t make time to enjoy my various crafting pusuits and hobbies. {Not to mention that my humor and mood suffer too :-)} May 2014 prove your best year ever!
WAUW what an amazing prize Becca, but you´ve always been such a generous person and shared everything with all of us. And the first word, that comes to my mind, when I get out here and see this post here as my first, is definitely INSPIRATION. That´s probably also why I´ve almost been a follower (stalker) of you on every possible channel almost he he he. I just LOVE your work and is a huge admirer of all your fabulous designs always. So thanks so much for all you´ve shared in the old year, and I´m sooo looking forward to see, what you´ll have to share with us all in 2014.
So HAPPY NEW YEAR Becca, I hope that 2014 will be the most wonderful year ever for all of us inhere.
Happy New Year 2014 Becca first of all……
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for a chance to win such a wonderful tool…….
My 2014 GOAL is to keep a clean and ORGANIZED craft room so I have more space and want to come inside the room and create. My room is VERY small and it can be upside after just one card!
Looking forward to a WONDERFUL year for 2014. May you all be Blessed this NEW YEAR!!!!
My word is “motivation”.
Your newsletters certainly are that to me, thank you.
Happy New Year!!! I can’t believe how fast 2013 flew by. This year I am hoping to USE up a lot of my stash, including yarn, beads and paper. You always provide inspiration that should help me with using up my paper. Thanks!!
Love your blog and look forward to each new post…your talent is inspiring. My word is FRIENDSHIP…as 2014 begins I am so very thankful for my amazing and loving friends.
My word for 2014 is to INSPIRE others and get their creative juices flowing to be creative with their craft. Happy New Year! May it be a grand year.
My word would be PERSISTANCE. Keep on keeping on. Don’t get lazy. Thanks and Happy New Years to you.
Becca you are my number one “go to” and I thank you for always responding to my questions. “Forgiveness”….to always keep in mind that apologizing does not mean I am wrong and the other person is right, it just means I value the relationship more than my ego. I cannot credit myself for this quote, but these are words of wisdom.
I can’t wait to read up on this new (to me anyway) machine!
Thank you for sharing your talents so freely… you are such an inspiration…
I hope that in 2014, my cards will have a positive impact on more folks than in any other year… I must get more organized and disciplined In order to be more efficient and productive… easier said than done… but praying for help in those areas… thank you again for the inspiration you’ve blessed us with this year!
Becca… what an Amazing prize!!!! I get a prize each time I look at your creations!
One of my words for this year is….. control.
Happy New Year to you too. My first word/phrase for 2014 is good Health.
Hi Becca, I am so impressed with your blogg and how you have inspired me sooo much. How awesome is it, that you can help someone that is so far away on the underside of the globe. My word is “GOTTA” and it means I’ve “gotta” get creating, “gotta” get mojo and “gotta” share my gifts with others. A little Australian slang but you’ve gotta love it.
Thank you for everything, now I’ve “Gotta” go.
Hugs Lorraine From Down Under
Thanks for the goodies and Happy New Year to you and everyone in Blog Land! My first words for the new year is Eat Better and Lose Weight. Thanks for your inspiration and words of wisdom throughout the year. Here’s to a great 2014 for everyone.
Hugs.
Becca, you are so inspirational. I am a happy subscriber to your blog and LOVE your work. Not always having the same supplies as you, I use your posts as a jumping off point–using a die or technique that you used and adapting my own supplies to create something similar. My word for 2014 is DIVERSIFY. I want to try styles that are different than the ones I usually use–to stretch myself and to use up my stash. (My husband calls me the Michaels outlet.) I’m looking forward to a great crafting year with you as one of my muses. :)
I’m not quite sure how I found out about your website, however, I do know that I can’t get enough of it. you are super talented, I try to find where you are getting your sentiments, because I am in love. please keep sharing your talents, you are truly an inspiration and I thank you!
Thank you so much for your awesome giveaway! Happy New Year and looking to even more inspiring projects for 2014. My word for 2014 is organization. I really need to get my craft room and supplies organized so I can find things when I need them. I’ve already started by putting up some hooks to hang my decorative scissors and paper trimmer from!
WoW what’s that? Looks awesome- I want one n free would be right in my craft budget!! I promised hubby no more die cutting machines. But hey if it’s one I won he would be ok with that.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Such a wonderful blog candy gift you are offering and I wish everyone entering, good luck. I checked and I’ve been visiting your blog since 27th October 2008, when I was looking for cuttlebug ideas. Thank you for the inspiration and long may it continue. My words for this year are ‘be good.’ All the best xx
You can never have too many die cutters, if I had this my daughter can have the old one or I could keep it and cut twice as much! I know just the spot for it in my craft room.
May this coming year be one of peace, joy and blessings. God bless you and keep you.
My word for 2014 is peace….inner peace.
Happy new year and thank you for all the wonderful cards and
crafts you make for us to drool over.
I’d love to win the machine to enhance the cards I make, so thank you for considering me.
Thank you for all the inspiration! I’ve always checked your blog among the first places to receive new and fabulous ideas. My word for 2014 is PRAISE. PRAISE to God for all He’s done for me. PRAISE for those around me to encourage them along this journey. PRAISE because it keeps my focus off myself. Happy New Year – I hear the fire crackers beginning to announce 2014!!
becca, you make my heart sing. my word is thankful for god has blessed all of us so very much. happy new year to one neat lady.
It is such a teeat cc to see your wonderful, creative projects! Thank you for the chance to win :-) My word for 2014 is Health!
Giving
Becca – I just love your website – I follow it regularly (it is the only one I have book marked – both the blog and pinterest) Your blog is where I get lots of inspiration – I just love your style and work. This year I would like it to be the year that I SHARE my ideas and talents with others. Although I have had a blog in the past, I have not used it for over 12 months, so am currently in the process of starting again.
My word is encourage. I love looking and getting ideas from your gorgeous cards to give to others to encourage them during difficult times. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you for the beautiful cards that I can plagiarize! Seriously, thank you for being so inspiring…wishing you and yours all the best in the coming year…
Thank you for this opportunity. My first word is discipline (of which I have little at the moment)
Becca, you are an inspiration to me with your faith and creativity! One of my words for the new year is PERSEVERANCE! Thank you for all you do :)
Becca, Happy New Year to you and your family. I never miss any one of your blog posts. Yours are the one which I enjoy most everyday. I went through your ups and downs with you although I didn’t leave comments very often. I laugh when you are up and I shield tears when you are down. I see your struggles as well as your success. I wish you a prosperous new year and good health. For my 2014, I would pick “positive’ to be my idiom as we go through struggle sometimes, when we stand firm and believe in His promises:” I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13, my soul can always rest, my fear will be gone.
Hi Becca – thanks for making it clear that you won’t be posting overseas :-(.
My main ‘word’ for this year, given for my Christian walk, is TRUST!
Prov 3:5&6
Blessings
Maxine
Love your blog. I am always blown away by your work. My word this year is Grace. To show it, enjoy it, and be at peace with it.
Happy New Year! I love your blog and subscribe through email. My word for 2014 is healing. I had surgery Jan 2013 and it didn’t heal and became a mess and now it finally seems as though there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is starting to heal.
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! If only I lived in the US!!! Good luck everybody. Thanks for all your inspiration over the years Becca! Love and hugs from Christine xx
hey friend, my word is PERSEVERANCE, when things don’t happen the way you had planned to Trust that
our Lord Jesus Christ has a plan for us, a plan for good to give us a future and a hope…=)
My word this New Year’s Day is “Christmas”. I want to remember what a gift that we were given on this Holy Day and I want to work all year long making wonderful gifts to give to my family and friends. As you stated above, “last year went by in a blur” and my year was the same. May 2014 be productive! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations and May God continue to bless your creative mind.
Health and fitness is what comes to my mind Becca, exercise and lose some weight…hoping 2014 will see me much fitter!
Family, I want to spend even more quality time with my family doing fun things and just enjoying the beauty in who we are!!!!
Happy New Year!
my word is thankful. Even though the past year have been a trial, I am thankful for the people in my life.
I guess my word for the new year will have to be HONESTY! I have to start being honest with myself about what I should do, I have to be honest with my family about how I feel when things come up but most importantly, I need to be more honest with God. He has blessed me and I seem to always have some kind of excuse when I don’t do what I am supposed to do. He sees through my nonsense and I am only kidding myself!! Yep, going to have to open up and tell God the whole truth and then listen when He answers. f
Happy New Year Bekka. What a fabulous giveaway, wish I lived in the States – Good Luck to everyone who does!
My word for the year ( two words actually) Family and Friends. I’m thankful for their kindness and support and will try much harder to keep in touch with those who are far away and spend more time with those that are close.
Oh, yes, I’m a subscriber! :) And have been for a very long time!
I’m not one for making resolutions, but the first word that will figure prominently into my 2014 plans will be the word “do”. Pretty self explanatory… I just need to do more in 2014.
I love your blog and follow daily l dont alway leave a comment as its so hard to say how lovley your cards are.Just know you are loved and heeded as always,happy new year love lida
The word is try
My word is Hopeful- its been 5 years of major trials and for no apparent reason today I just feel genuinely hopeful that we’ll be traversing into a new season cohesively across our family. If hopeful isn’t the word— possibly inner peace or restoration.
Hello Becca,
I subscribe to your NL and you’m on FB. I learned to use my dies and find inspiration by looking at your cards. This year it will be more action, practice, less wasted time and hesitations. Create me the greater good, I still need to “find” my way and I hope to achieve in 2014. Thank you for everything, and that your 2014 is for you and your family, rich in projects and successes. Regards from France, Nicky
Hi Becca. A Happy New Year to you. Thank you for all that you did in 2013 and may 2014 be all that you desire. One of my words is “DO”. I need to just get on and DO things instead of thinking things through too much! Take care.
My word for 2014 is “de-clutter”. I’m sure as a crafter you know exactly what I mean I owe so many thanks to you for all the hard work and inspiration you have brought to me and others. I subscribe via email Becca and wait anxiously for each post.
My word would be HOPE! The possibilities are boundless and HOPE causes my spirit to SOAR no matter what the situation….personally, I know my Lord loves me and All things are possible through Him.
computer is my word as I wouldnt know many of my friends without it
One of my words for the new year is contentment! Thank you for all your beautiful blog posts!
My word is HOPE.
What a nice blog candy. My word for the new year is healthier. I hope to be able to do more with my crafting than I could last year.
PEACE on Earth!
Love the blog…..my word for 2014 is HEALTH. I’m in the UK so no Explorer for me so good luck to all my stateside friends……xx
Change. I think that is my word for 2014. I have retired, husband retired, and we are moving to be closer to family. So looking forward to lots of changes.
TIME… finding it !

for others as well as for myself !
Enjoy the greatest gift, the life. I like your Cards, your boxes…you inspire me alot! THANK YOU
OH Becca! Such a great giveaway! You said to leave a word I am gonna associate with New Years resolution….I am going to say closeness! In that I am saying that I want to be closer to God this year than I have been in the past. I want to talk to him more everyday and read his word more. How close can my Lord be to me? I want it to be that I can call him my dear dear friend and that when I call on him, he says, yes, friend, what can I help you with today.
Thanks again for the chance to win something great.
Becca, what an awesome giveaway for someone in the US! You are soooo generous and have inspired my first word – ‘Generosity’.
Hugs
Anne (UK) x
becca, i have been subscribing to your blog for almost four years now and have been so inspired by how you have continued to move forward thru all that life has put in front of you and your willingness to share it with all of us out here. my word for tonite is “progress”. it is a good one for the new year. i have been looking at die cutters out there and asking the gals at our local stamping & scrapbooking store about the pros and cons of the different ones out there. this one looks like it does everything. thank you so much for your generosity.
Hello Bekka

Awesome prize!
1st word: Faith! I am reading “Killing Jesus” (awesome book BTW) and want to restore myself mentally, physically and spiritually.
My word is attentive. I feel my life has been a blur and I need to examine things for a longer amount of time.
oganize
In 2014, I will focus on “blessings”. Becca you are one of the many blessings in my life. Your creativity and desire to share with so many is so meaningful. Thank you for seeking to be the woman God has designed you to be.

Thank you for so much “INSPIRATION” over the last year! I can’t wait to see what you come up with in 2014..
Hugz Kath in Scotland
Becca, this is a great give away. You are being so generous to do this. My word is listen. I need to listen to the gentle voice and direction of my Holy Father as well as really take time to listen to the needs of those around me. So many people we encounter on a daily basis are hurting and hopeless. I hope I can be an encourager.
This year one of the things I want to focus on is more quite time.
Blessings Jocelan
Happy New Year Becca! My first word for this year is Hope. I was recently part of a mass lay-off (67 of us) and hope is what is keeping me going right now. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards and sentiments with us!
Yellowstone
Happy New Year !!!! My first word is HOPE… Because I am always hoping for the best… Hope for my family, friends and the World….
Hi Becca, I haven’t left a comment lately as this year has been a bit of a challenge lets just say I will have more time on my hands.
What a fantastic giveaway, very generous and good luck to everyone who enters.
My word for 2014 has to be SMILE, every time I go to your website you are there smiling, every time you create a new card I look and smile, A smile is infectious, if someone is down and you smile at them they will most certainly smile back. So Happy New Year and keep on smiling.XX
Happy New Year Becca! I’m a subscriber by email. Mt first word is also hope, I have hope that things can turn around in my family.
Cleaning! My daughter and three grandchildren just moved out after 4 1/2 years. Cleaning up after a two, three, eight and 34 year old is quite the job!
I miss them, bur enjoy being just my husband and I again.
Change. We are building a new home and moving to the area where I grew up, but leaving the area where my husband grew up and where we have lived and raised our children for the past 30 years. There’s a ton of stuff to sort and pack – who knew so much stuff would fit in these closets:)
Love. Without it we are nothing but empty shells. You give us so much love Becca along with everything else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Organize…need to get my craft room in order so I can find stuff. I love your cards.
Happy New Year from Canada! Thank you for all your inspiration. My first word for this year is APPRECIATE! Sometimes we can get caught up in all the minutia of life and forget to appreciate the many wonderful things we have in our lives.
My word for 2014 is SUCCESS
What a fabulous giveaway! I love seeing your creations. Every post ibspires me!
Since my name is Joy, that will be one of my words for this year by dispensing more joy to everyone around me. Being a card maker that really is an easy thing to do. I’d like to mail out more of the cards I make this coming year.
My word is sustainability! Developing better habits that can be sustained throughout the year, -health, making time for friends and family and of crafting! Blessings to everyone for a wonderful New Year!
I forgot to put my 2014 word! I guess for me 2014 will be settling. 2013 was a year of change – retirement a move out of state weight loss surgery so my hopes for 2014 are to settle in. Finish unpacking the million boxes. Find a place to volunteer. Find a part-time job doing something useful and helpful.Get my craft area back where I can be more productive (we still haven’t found all my supplies!) Find friends to craft with.Bring it on!
My word for 2014 is Finish!
Wow! What a great prize! Thanks for the opportunity to win! When I read your post the word that came to mind is organize. I have made a significant change in my craft room and just want to continue it.
Service- to be a better servant to my Lord.
Blessings to everyone in the new year! Thank you for inspirations!
Wow Becca, now that’s a give away! I’ve not have my computer in a long time, so am using one belonging to a friend. I’m glad I saw this post. Thanks for the chance to win.
Happy New Year, Jessica
“Bless” is my word for this year. I want to Bless others as the Lord has blessed me.
You bless me with your art and how you faithfully share it with all of us.
I love to see all your beautiful creations. One word for 2014 is wedding. Our son is getting married in June.
I love your blog, you have given me so much inspiration over the last year. Thank you, for all the beautiful cards!
My word is Prepare. I will try to be ready for all cards needed for 2014 before the actual day arrives.
My word today would be Courage. Courage to try things that I have been putting off. Happy New Year!
What an awesome prize! Thank you for the opportunity to win! I have several words for this year but none more important than family. Family has always been important to me and we have stressed it continuously with our teenagers as they have grown, but almost losing my Mom this last year really drives it home! (and having a senior in high school brings things into perspective ). So that is my main focus this year, to enjoy the time we have and make the most of it.
Wow! I have been a subscriber via email for a good 3 or 4 years now? maybe longer. My word for the year is, JOY, I use this word every year because sometimes you have to remind yourself to slow down and enJOY what is around you.
Happy New Year!!
Love seeing your creations. My word for 2014 is happy!
Becca, I love coming to your blog. You are the one blog I consistently read. It is pretty rare I don’t take time to open to find encouragement. You create beauty. Even if I don’t have time to sit down to create at that minute, I walk away inspired after looking at your creations. I keep your blogs, when I get the time to create, I come back and look to you for inspiration. This year I want to be Intentional in sending out encoraging words to those God placed in my life. My goal is to start making some cards and gifts that I can stash so they will be ready to send when time is short to try to create.
I must write again. I had already responded to your post. My word was listen. I picked up a new devotion book a friend gave me that I had put up to use in 2014. The title is The Daily God Book, a year of listening for God. He directs our thoughts if we only take time to listen.
I have been a follower of your blog fir several years! I am always amazed at your creations, Becca! I learn so much from you. Thanks so much for sharing with us! My word for 2014 is PEACE. Our world needs to sense it, and act on it!
Dear Becca,
Even if you weren’t such a talented designer whose explanations are clear, specific, well stated, and accompanied by helpful photos I would follow you because of your kind nature and positive attitude. You are an inspiration in dealing with life’s ups and downs. The art work is an added layer of delight. And in my book your artistry is the best of the best.
This year my focus will be on quality finishings for all my cards–a more professional look, better balance with designs, and understated elegance. I couldn’t find a better teacher than you. Thank you.
Barbara Tranquilla
Hi Becca,
Happy New Year! For 2014, the word that will figure in my plans is gratitude. Grateful to God for so many things.
Still can’t get over how fabulous this prize is, Becca … would love to win it!
My word is GRACE. May I have the grace to accept what I cannot change and the determination to change what I can. I love your blog posts! I look forward to your artistic creations each time! Looking forward to a new year and continuing our creative endeavors!
I have enjoyed your blog for a very long time now! You are so talented and that inspires my creativity! Thank you. My word is Faith. I want to work on my faith this year. Thank you, Becca!
Aww … just re-read your post to see that Canadian subscribers don’t qualify for that wonderful prize. Totally understandable with the exorbitant shipping costs involved for such a heavy item. My word for 2014 will be ‘understanding’, to put myself in others positions so that I may better understand them.
Becca – thank you for years of inspiration! I am often wowed by the things you do with paper and really appreciate the effort you put in. For 2014 the word for me will be – organize. I’ve been avoiding my craft room for some time because I can’t stand the mess. This year I MUST get rid of the clutter.
Thanks so much for the blog candy opportunity!
Oh my, I have many words to use but I will choose “LOVE”, we need to share more of that every day because we are not promised a tomorrow. We need to tell the ones we love how much they mean to us. I also want to convey to you that I always “love” your work and would “Love” to win your blog candy. I hope you will always continue to share your thoughts thru paper crafting.
Becca, You inspire me with all your beautiful creations. I love using spellbinders. My word is Christlike. That is my goal for this year to be more Christ like. Thank you fro the wonderful give away.
Hi Becca, I think I have been following you since the beginning. I always love seeing your gorgeous cards/projects. It was a thrill to meet you at CHA. My word is cherish. We need to cherish our friends and family.
Becca,
We are the best readers as you say in your first sentence but it is for only one reason ~ we have the best blog to read and the eye appeal of your blog is like none other. I feel like I have known you all my life, sista!! My word for 2014 is “organizatio.” I am trying to get all my “stuff” as my hubby calls it, into specific boxes and labeled so I know where everything is. I have already started by buying clear boxes and have cleaned off a couple shelves in my wardrobe where I store everything. Another is to not buy anything more until I use some of the “stuff” I already have, and finally when I am doing the organizing I am making a pile to get rid of and a group I belong to is going to have a “craft yard sale.” So that is my plan.
Becca, I want to say “thank you” for coming into our lives and showing us the ways of cardmaking; you truly are the very best!!!!!
Hugs,
Mstgane
Ann
My word is PRESENCE….
Happy New Year Becca. I always look forward to your blog posts and your beautiful creations.
My word this year is ‘trust’. I have some new team mates at work and it is all about trusting each other that will make us successful as a unit.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Becca, I have been following you a long time; I love your style, you are such an inspiration! My word is ‘intercession’. I am learning more about intercession prayer and when I visit your blog I intercede for you. You are loved! May God richly bless you in this new year!
I forgot to give you a word in my post! I think it would be health. As we age and have more health concerns, I want to be more careful with what I eat and drink.
a-ma-zing
Happy New Year, Becca! Organization in my craft room is my first order of business.
Happy New Year!! What an amazing giveaway!! My word for 2014 would be learn…I want to learn as many new techniques as I can!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
Becca, I always get so much inspiration from your card projects. It is the highlight of my day when I get an email with a new blog post. Thank you!
This is so nice of you. My first word is simplify.
My word is ORGANIZE, I need to do this badly. Im already having trouble finding things I want to use in order to create because, obviously, I dont have it organized in the right way. Of course this could also be because maybe just maybe I have too much…naw…that cant be it. Have to get what Becca uses you know…LOL. Love ya girl, you are super.
Happy New Year. My word is HEALTH. I hope to take better care of myself and husband…especially now that I have access to healthcare. Love your blog and look forward to all your beautiful cards.
Family
I’ll be making a difficult change in my life this year, so my word is renew. Thanks for the chance to win.
Happy New Year! My word for 2014 is LIVE. Live each day to the fullest and never take anything for granted. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
One word, can it be different every day? Today I will choose, Son, I hope to build a better relationship with him. He is Bipolar and we have had a rough 2 years now, but it is getting better with time. My crafts are what get me through the rough times. When I create and make stuff I can forget everything else that is not happy.
My word is “content” as in content in my life, where I am, who I am.
My word is PACE. I really need to pace myself so things do not pile up and become overwhelming! Thanks for your inspiration and beautiful projects that you share with us all. Happy New Year to You.
“Blessed” by God, family, and friends.
My word is “thankful” as I’m am thankful for each and every dat.
Care and encouragement will be my words the beginning of this year to help a few friends and relatives who are having a hard time at the moment.
Kindness – Making even more of an effort to see things the way others are seeing them in order to be more helpful and understanding.
Thanks Becca for your continued inspiration.
Your work is truly lovely and very special in sentiments. My word for the year is BELIEVE.Thank you for your wonderful blog.
My word is Trees – I’m fascinated with trees and want to incorporate them into many of my cards this year. How many ways can I do this and how many different techniques can I use?
My word for the year is MANAGE. I’ve recently started working full-time, and time management has become a big issue. There’s also several areas in my life that I’m needing to better manage. Thank you for your blog.
My word for 2014 is Faith. Faith in myself and others will carry me though the year. Whenever things get tough I know that my strong faith will get me through it. I have struggled with some tough medical issues this year and it took me a while to open my mind to just letting go and having faith in the future.
Happy New Year!! I really look forward to your posts—such beautiful cards! My word for this year is OPEN. Open not only creatively but to the new home and town that’s happening this year for us.
ORGANIZE! I’m tackling the gargantuan tack of cataloging ALL my supplies. I may never finish, but it’s fun to try.
Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas. Happy New Year!
My word for 2014 is Gratitude. I want to show more gratitude for the many wonderful things in my life rather than letting the negative burden me. Your positive attitude sets the example!
Karen
My word this year is improve. Thank you for the inspiration your beautiful cads give me.
The blog candy is amazing! My word for 2014 is “Relax”. This has been a crazy year 2013 and I hope 2014 will be less busy and I can enjoy the happy times as they come.
Hi Becca!
When you asked for a word a day, I started thinking that I would come up with 12 words, one for each month of 2014. If I focus on one word a month and the effect it would have on my life, hopefully it will re-direct my attention to the things that are really important and not sweat the small stuff. So, my word for today (and all of January) is gratitude. I am so thankful for the wonderful family and friends that God has blessed me with and am challenging myself to show it more. I will share February’s word next time.
Have a great New Years!
My word for this new year will be CALM.
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful cards you cannot imagine how much inspiration I draw from them.
I just love your posts and you are an inspiration to all of us.
After much deliberation and careful consideration, I think I have selected the right word for 2014- EVOLVE.
In looking over my life in recent years and what I wanted for the future I kept seeing a variety of elements of my life that I wanted to change. At the root of all of them was a change in me.
I have reached that milestone age- 50. This year I will become an empty nester as both of my children go off to college. My sweet hubby has retired (semi) and is rediscovering his love for music, singing, and community service. I think the time has come for me to begin my personal evolution. I need to rediscover the things about me and about life that I love and use those to help shape my future. I need to allow myself to make changes and GROW as a person…. though I know that some of those changes will be difficult. I need to allow myself to EVOLVE as a woman, a wife, a mother, and a human being.
Thank you so much for all your shares thru the last few years, Becca. They are such an inspiration for all of us. My first word for the new year is FOCUS…then perhaps I can accomplish what I want and need to do.
I have enjoyed being a subscriber to your blog and I was “pinning” some of my favorites of your work in a file before Pinterest became popular. It certainly makes finding them easier now, with Pinterest.
You do such beautiful work and I appreciate your taking the time to share them with everyone.
My word is JOY. My husband was diagnosed with cancer and was was gone 23 days later. We didn’t even know he was sick. There has not been much joy in my days so this year for him and I….I choose JOY.
Health… praying this year brings better health for my youngest grandson, daughter and myself (having lost my son in 2001 I am so aware of how precious good health is)
Happy New Year Becca!
May you continue blessing us with your creative gifts. I have been a subscriber for 3 years, and I am always blessed and encouraged by your blog and creativity.
Happy New Year!
My word is Health. I want to get in better shape and continue healing from an injury.
I love your blog. Thank you for all of your inspiration.
What a great give-away. I enjoy every post on your blog, and look forward to it each day. My word for this year is CREATE.
My word for next year is “friends”.
Hi Becca,
My word for this year is THANKFUL. My husband of 51 years is on home hospice and I am thankful for every moment we have shared and left to share. We have a loving family and friends that we are so thankful to have in our lives also. I think if everyone took just one moment to be thankful for just one little thing in their lives this world would not be filled with so much despair!
Wow what an awesome machine, the things you could do. My word is INSPIRE
My word for today is GRATEFUL – I am grateful for Jesus and all He has given.
I hope to be creative this coming year. Thank you very much for the give away and Happy New Year to you!
My word for this year is EMBRACE. My children are growing up quickly and I wonder where the last 10 years went. I want to embrace every moment and savor it.
You are an inspiration to all who check out your blog. Hope you have a blessed year. My word is “THANKFUL”.
My word to summarize my efforts this year is Organization.after many projects my studio is a shambles so reorganizing it will be a priority.
My word for 2014 is ORGANIZE. Need to concentrate on organizing not only my craft room but my life as a whole. Better nutrition, more exercise and concentrating on faith, family, friends and volunteering.
Thanks for all the beautiful blog candy I’ve been able to see over the past few years. Your blog is one I share with other scrapping and crafting buddies over and over again. My word for 2014 today is EXPLORATION! My hubby recently retired and we have 4 trips planned for 2014! And I’m sure we’ll throw in a few fun overnights, here and there too. Exploration not only fits well with my coming year, it’s always been a goal in my life. As a lifelong learner I always look out for learning new things….especially in the craft world. That’s how I became a follower of your blog.
My word for 2014 is CREATE. I want to spend more time creating beautiful cards and scrapbook pages.
My word is Simplify.
Thanks for such an inspiring blog! You are awesome!
MJ
So kind of you to think about your international subscribers too Becca. I feel like we have a prize every day when I see your beautiful creations! Thank you for all the inspiration and beauty you bring to us all year.
I think my word for this year should be “Grateful”.
My word is Create!
One word? Oh my, so many come to mind. I guess it would be THANKFUL! I’m going to focus this year of the positive things that I am *thankful* for – not the things I don’t like. The positive far outweighs the bad in my life. And thanks for all your wonderful blog posts. I love your style – just gorgeous!!!
My word for the new year is universe! Putting it out to the universe so good things come my way! This is a super awesome gif to win, and I would like it! Thanks Becca
This new machine amazing . My word for the the year is THANKFUL. So manry little things in everyday life that we take for granted. So let’s be thankful for them.
Learn how to use more craft toys.

Good afternoon Becca,
Silly me thought that you had put the wrong link up as it couldn’t be a die cutting machine. I think this year belief is going to be prominent for me this year. I don’t have a great deal of faith in my abilities, but somehow everyone else has. I’m sure they must have rose tinted glasses on when they see my work. Between Sue and yourself i have been able to try more things and actually accomplish nicer looking efforts, so thank you Becca. I only found you late on last year but it was one of the best discoveries to date.
Becca if my name was picked out would you please give it to a childs charity that deals with autism please. We have one here on in Central Scotland called Play Alloa and because of them taking on my 5 yr old at the time autistic son, they gave me back sanity and able to cope again. These people give up their time and talents so that children like my beautiful son can get friends, to deal with and cope with their differences.
Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing your talents and imagination and time.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Glenochil Central Scotland.
My word is WELLNESS. I’m not only going to take of my health and make a more concerted effort to watch what I eat but also exercise more. If I can make all that happen everything else comes from that.
Becca, love your designs and am envious of your talents!
My 2014 goal is to become a better person – kinder,
and more generous. And to use my time more wisely!
Thanks for your guidance and Happy 2014!
My word is Hopeful.
Prayer is my word for today. It has helped us though illness a lot in 2013.
Keep your beautiful cards and ideas coming in 2014. Edna B.
My word for 2014 is PURPOSE. I want to become deliberate in the things I allow in my life. Whether it be in my mind or in my actual day to day.
I think so often we go through the motions and don’t calculate the time we spend or waste on the trivial. To get to the end of the day, feeling good about the moments that have passed.
Organize – My craft room is a total mess and I need to organize it. Especially my ribbon and paper collections.
My word for the year is “Carding”. Of course that probably isn’t even a word but it is my loved craft. And you my friend have given me so much inspiration that I can’t wait to see what the new year brings.
My word: Encourage – I want to be more of an encourager to family and friends. Thank you for your talent. I am subscribed and watch for your new creations daily! PS – would love this machine!!!
Thanks again, Bonnie
Well, not sure about this choosing a word stuff, but I’ll give it a try. My word is CLEAN, as in eating cleaner foods, living in a cleaner house, cleaning out the negative thoughts, cleaning up the regular untidiness of life. Thank you so much for all of your posts and inspiration!. I think of all of the blogs I visit, yours is the most inspirational and has taught me the most.
Exercise–continuing my exercise routine to keep off the weight I lost! :)
My word for today and the new years is positive as in positive attitude in life.
Thank you for a chance to win blog candy. I always come to you for “INSPIRATION”, so that is my word today.
My wish for you for 2014 is good health and wonderful memories.
I look for you e-mail post every day and it is always the one I open first; not just for the card, but for your kind words and inspiration.
My word for the year is HEALTHY! Gotta’ do it!
My word is health, to make sure I do everything I can to keep myself healthy.
Gratitude is the word that I most want to remember to express in 2014, as 2013 was a very rough year for my husband with health issues. I AM very grateful to still have him with me. I want to make my best effort daily to remind him of our many blessings and express gratitude in every aspect of my life, including making time for family and friends and to treasure the time we have together. My blog and crafting have had to take a back seat at least for the time being, but I’ll always have it in my life. I’ve wanted to get into mixed media and hope to take some baby steps to begin that process in the coming year — gratitude can be expressed in so many forms!
Thanks for all you share. In 2014 I plan to really spend time focusing on being healthy and learning more about crafting lovely cards.
I love your blog and have been a subscriber ever since the first time I found it. My word for 2014 is GIVE, as in give more of myself, give more time, give more cards.
Happy New Year!
Travel – as we travel every year from January to March to get away from the winter doldrums:) Thank you for the the wonderful opportunity to win this awesome product.
Gd afternoon Becca, I’m just beginning to see how far and wide the world of card making and scrapbooking. And I so want to be a part of it!!! Your posts have become a part of my daily routine. I’m excited to see an email from you and can’t wait to check it out immediately. You have inspired me to start my own blog and inspire others like me who doesn’t go out much due to illness. Thank you again for this chance…shame I’m out of the game with the artisan as I live in UK. God bless you and your family! Happy new year and more power to your blog.
Lots of love, Aggie xxx
Faith…in God, in man to protect and nurture our earth and our bodies, and in my ability to do my best in what’s right.
Happy New Year Becca!
Thank you for the opportunity to win the “X-plorer”, and as always thank you for the beautiful creations that you share.
Gratitude.
Take care, Jean.
Prayer: I want to spend my year focused on my spiritual life.
I want to wish you a Happy New Year. Thanks so much for a chance at this fantastic candy. I appreciate all that you do for us and show us things that we can do with your help.
My word would be challenging…I want to take my ideas in a new direction and try to step it up a bit to be more out of the box.
Happy New Year, Becca. I hope 2014 is another wonderful year for us all. My banner “word” this year is going to be Grateful… As in, I’m so grateful for all the blessings I receive.
First I would like to thank you for all the elegant inspiration you provide! One word for this year for me will be “create”. I want to try new things and create more.
Hi Becca, I am hoping to get healthier in the coming year. I also hope to become more skilled in card making. Again, thank you for your beautiful work.
Thank you for offer of this amazing little machine! My word would be patience….with other people, situations I can’t control, and knowing good things happen if you work for them!
A verry happy New Year Becca. Self confidence is my goal for 2014. To no longer let exterior comments affect my conffidence in myself. thank you for the chance to win this candy.

Have a Blessed New Year Becca. I hope to organize my life better overall. So much clutter in each part of our lives tend to overwhelm. Declutter each part of my life is the goal.
JESUS is The Word I will focus on , now and always. God bless my friend, may you always be so. Denice : )
Wow. That is some major blog candy. Thanks for all the inspiration, and I look forward to seeing your 2014 creations. Happy New Year to you and yours.
More as in more crafting!
Happy New Year Becca! My word for the year 2014 is Prayer.
My word of the day is “giving,” as in giving more of myself in many different ways. That would also be a word that applies aptly to you, as you have been so giving in the sharing of your talents, the many “candies” you have offered over the years, and the spiritual and kind thoughts you have given to all y our readers. If you don’t subscribe to this blog, I highly recommend it as it is #1 in my mind. Happy New Year, Becca!
This is more than blog candy, more like a blog fest! My word for 2014 is “preparation” . My husband & I are fast approaching retirement and I find that I need to put plans in place for the next chapter of our lives.
This is fabulous. I live in Canada, so I guess I’m out, but I’m entering anyway! I LOVE your work…your blog was my initial inspiration to get into this craft! I wish I could afford all the beautiful dies that are available, but I certainly DO have quite a collection now and LOVE searching out all the new ones :)
Happy New Year to you and yours and I’ll be checking in daily!
Marian
Management! I hope to better manage my time this year to do more of the things I love to do! Thanks for the opportunity to win! Happy new Year!
While it is very hard to come up w/only ONE word, I think “Gratefulness” will be it. My DH has Congestive Heart Failure and a recent check-up was wonderful! I am so grateful to all who have helped him and for every day I have w/him. God has been very good to us so “grateful” seems to be the word I want to concentrate on this year!
Thank you Becca for your encouragement to US! Your work inspires, challenges, uplifts, teaches, and you the best part is the sharing of your faith throughout. May God bless you today and every day this year!
Thanks for all the inspiration and teaching that youhave passed on. I have learned so much from you,

Happy New Year Becca. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do. What a generous give-away. My one word would be “Create.” It’s time I get my butt back into the studio after a too-long hiatus.
Wow! What a gift! It would be a wonderful addition to my craft room. I’m looking to 2014 as a year for better ORGANIZATION! I’d like to find my crafting desktop and be able to use it! :) I’m working diligently on it, but have a long way to go. Finding treasures I’d forgotten I even had. Pretty bad, but that’s my goal for this year.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! My word for today is confidence. 2013 really shook mine and I am working to restore it in 2014.
Happy 2014
You’re so generous, and your creations so beautiful!
My word is “Save”. Going to try the 52 Week Money Challenge.
I can’t participate in this one (Canada), but want to play along!
You are such a blessing and your cards are an inspiration. God bless you in 2014.
My first word for 2014 is ‘moderation’ – all things are good – in moderation.
My first word for 2014 is FANTASTIC!!!
Happy 2014 Becca. I am looking forward to another year of daily doses of your blog.

WHAT A FANCY LOOKING MACHINE you’re giving away Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
BALANCE! I want to make sure that I balance everything! The right amount of this & the right amount of that! That way I don’t over-do things & I won’t give things less attention than they need!
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)
Happy New Year Becca, I pray all the best in this coming year for you and your family. I will be looking forward to all of your great inspiration this year. Thank you for the chance to win this fabulous blog candy!
JOY! 2013 was just a less than happy year for my family and me – so much happened. This year I’m focusing on bringing back Joy into my life and your blog and beautiful creations certainly falls into that category. Thank you.
Happy 2014 to you Becca. May God continue to bless you every day. I have been blessed by your creativity and the beautiful cards and gifts that you share with us each day. I am looking forward to CASEing some more of your cards and entering a few contests with my own cards in 2014.

My word for the year is JOY. I’m going to try to find JOY in everything everyday! Thanks for the chance to win this great prize! Happy new year to you!
Hej!
Fantastiskt att du är så generös, det vore underbart att få ta del av den.
Göra vackra ting som andra kan glädjas av.
Min tanke med scrapbooking och livet i stort är att glädja andra och därigenom blir det ringar på vatten, en glädje kan också en annan få ovs.
Visa någon uppmärksamhet som alla behöver.
Blir inspirerad av dina allster vilket leder till att någon annan får något vackert.
Ann
Wow, how generous; I already feel so grateful after receiving so many great ideas from you each day. I would have to say my word is BLESSED!
Palabra clave INSPIRACION y para encontrarla reviso cada dia esta pagina. Admiro grandemente tus trabajos y eso es lo que son para mi: Una fuente de inspiracion. Feliz 2014
Becca this is extremely generous, wow! Thank you for offering this amazing gift to one of your supporters. I am so inspired by your crafts and even though I’m new to your blog, I signed up right away to get updates because I absolutely am floored by every card you make. And so inspired too. We are the ones that ought to be thanking you! Just coming here to see what you have done is a gift in itself. Thank you for inspiring so many and for spreading the joy of paper crafting around the world. You are such a blessing!
Blessed
MOVE
I need to get away from my programming desk job mid-day and start taking walks. Other aspects of my life would probably fall into sync if I got out beyond the walls of my house…
Thank you Becca for your most inspiring blog. I love to look and see what you come up with in all your creations. Thanks for the chance to win a really great prize! I want to forget what is behind and reach forth to what is ahead knowing God is directing every step. My one word would be AHEAD.
My Word for the year is Blessings. Thank you for your inspirational blog and for the chance to win a wonder tool.Blessings to you and your followers in this coming year!
Becca – I always look at your blog every day. You are such an inspiration to me. I think the word for 2014 would have to be productive. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize.
My inspiration word for today is “kindness”. I know how much goodness is packed in that one little word. I have been on the receiving end many times and am making it my mission to pay it forward as much as possible this year. Thanks again for the opportunity to win a fantastic prize and continue to enjoy your beautiful creations.
Hi Becca!
Today, my word for 2014 is ‘winner’. I want to win in my efforts to improve my life and in turn, the lives of my family and friends. I recently attended a health care consortium and the motivational speakers were fantastic. The consortium was supposed to show us how to have a better business. I don’t own a business, but those speakers got me motivated to be a better PERSON and have a better LIFE! I enrolled in school again to further my nursing and get my BSN…but I’m not stopping there. More on my plan tomorrow!
My word is TIME. Try to manage my time a little better to allow for all of my activities and to make more time for card-making!
Becca, you have done such an amazing job with your blog. I read your blog every day (but don’t comment much) and am amazed at all of the ideas you come up with. You have such talent. I think the word for me I 1914 will be healthier. I had a total knee replacement in 2013 and am still healing. As soon as spring gets here, I hope I will be walking faster and the back pain will be gone. I wish you a happy and healthy new year. I love my Grand Caliber but I would love to have the new machine also. I would use it more for the smaller die cuts. Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy New Year! Thanks for the generous giveaway. Focus will be in my plans for 2014. I need to focus on the things that I need to get done and avoid distractions which happens all the time. It won’t be easy but I’m committed to working on it.
My word for today is “Thankful”. I am thankful that at 70 years old, I’m alive and healthy. I’ve never had a broken bone or major illness. My husband and I just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary! We are blessed with two wonderful children and 6 grandchildren and one great-grandson. I lived through the best of times growing up with my siblings and have just been blessed throughout my life. When I look around and see people my age having gone through divorce and illnesses and death, I realize just how blessed I am, and I am thankful. And thanful for having discovered the wonderful world of card making and finding you there! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Happy New Year Becca! I’m also one that checks out your updates on a daily basis but don’t always leave a comment. You are such an inspiration to me and I have learned so much from your posts. My word for today is venture … I’m one that is afraid to break out of my comfort zone and it always seems that those times that I try, things don’t work out “perfectly,” or the way I intended them to, which makes me quickly revert back to my old ways. This year, with the recent purchase of an iPhone, I would like to learn to be an accomplished user and not just stick with the basics.
Good morning Becca, and Happy New Year! My word for the day is “faithful”. This word expresses my desire to be more faithful to my Saviour this year. He has blessed me abundantly and I own everything to Him. Thank you for you kindness to all who follow you throughout the year; even to those of us who don’t say much!
Reflection. Where I’m coming from, where I’m going to.
Happy New Year everyone!!
My word for 2014 is blessed.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing machine! The word that comes to mind for this year is ” Expectation!” I am expecting lots of things on all different fronts. One is that due to your amazing card creations that I will produce more using lots of different media. Happy New Year Becca!
Happy New Year! Thankful! I have a new job, my 1st grandbaby and my other son just got engaged! Love your blog and all the inspiration you give!
My word for today is inspiration. You truly are an inspiration to so many people, both by your exquisite cards, and your beautiful spirit.
Love your blog and the inspiration you give me.
First word for the new year is LEARN.
Thank you for helping with that. Have a great
New Year.
My word is “CHRIST”. HE is still carrying me along a very difficult journey that began in 2013. This word alone embodies all the others such as hope, perserverance, faith, charity, love, strength, peace, acceptance, salvation, and so many more.
Happy New Year Becca.
Your work is beautiful and I so enjoy checking it out. I am so impressed and inspired by your creations. One of my words for 2014 is POSITIVITY…as it can only help make 2014 better.
Hugs.
Happy New Year! I know this sounds very generic but my word for today is “weight”. My daughter is getting married in 6 months and I really want to look better and feel better for this. I need to lose some weight to be a better me.
Happy New Year!!! I want to let you know I enjoy your blog and have been following you for a few years. When I think you really out did yourself, you create something even better. You have been such an inspiration to me over the years and I look forward to the next year of your post. I don’t leave comments but I’m subscribed to you via email and I don’t miss any. I would love it if you would create a card on video. I would love to see more from you on u-tube, to see you creating from start to finish. As far as my word it would be focused, I want to do more reading the word of God, praying, and loose weight. To do this I need to be focused on the on the task at hand. Also of course I strive to do more creating and send more of my cards out.
Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome blog candy.

Thanks for the chance to win blog candy!
Health is going to be a biz word here this year. I’ve thought about getting a treadmill for several years and finally took the leap….now really need to get myself into the habit of using it. This is an awesome giveaway. I’ve had my eye on it since it was released”
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful projects throughout the year. My next predominent word would be ORGANIZATION. Will be using some of your tips too.
I love getting my e-mails and seeing what new idea you have come up with.
I wish I had more of your creativity and really do try to make your beautiful cards. Videos would be wonderful as I am a visual learner.
I pray for hope, peace & happiness & many more things in 2014.
Thank you for giving us something to look forward to.
Oh BOO HOOOO HO!!!!! I’m not eligible for your fab give-away of the century, never mind, it would be SO much worse if I were barred from your blog.
My word for 2014 is RELAX (in body, mind and spirit). Cheers Becca.
Happy New Year Becca and here’s to a wonderful craft filled year for you and all of your followers. My resolution is to walk more and eat less for a healthier me. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful new machine.
Happy New Year to you. Love the beautiful cards that you post on your blog. My word is de-clutter. Its seems I never want to throw anything away and don’t have space for everything I want save.
Becca,
Happy New Year. Looking forward to this year. You are always inspiring not just with your cards but with your words of Praise and uplifting thoughts. I always enjoy coming to see what you are doing and getting emails when new things are up. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
Physically I have had a debilitating 2013. Receiving and creating cards has helped me deal with my new limitations. I plan to continue to learn mor and perfect my crafting. I want to participate in some of the RAKS sponsored by some of the channels that send cards to charities, soldiers and other facilities in order to brighten the days of those who need a little love. Thanks for all you do. I truly appreciate all of your hard work.
I have your website as one of my favourites and check it on a daily basis. Your “creativity” is so inspiring to me and others. Wishing you many blessings and magic fairy dust for 2014.
Annie Corbin
Hi Becca,
I check out your blog every day and so love your work :) you are such am inspiration to us all. Our family have had a bad time over the last 4 years, at Christmas we had a breakthrough, so for us 2014 us going to be about FAMILY. keep up your beautiful work ~ hugs Angela xx
CHANGE is my word for today. I am hoping to walk more and watch what I am eating and try hard to lose unwanted weight. It will be a struggle but so worth it in the end. My youngest son is getting married in April and I sure would love to be down a couple of dress sizes…
Hi Becca, my word for 2014 will be “create”, Iam sad to be in Canada so won’t be able to win this price. It would have been fantastic as my birthday is January 8th, the date you will give it away! Happy New Year, you inspire me everyday, thank you
Odile
Looking forward to a KINDER New Year.
Good morning Becca my word for the new year is LEARN as much as I can and I do that every day by coming and looking at your blog. You are such an inspiration to all us crafters. Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hugs Trish.
Happy New Year!!!
Thanks for always inspiring me with your lovely creations!!!!
My Word is SHARE!
Becca – you are always such an inspiration and your designs are just gorgeous… If I had to say one word to describe your style it would be Elegant…. Thanks for the creative ideas.
Hello Becca,
I was thrilled to find you several years ago and quickly subscribed, and sent your blog updates to my stamping friends. I love how you have honed your style of using layers of dies mixed with gorgeous ribbon and the most amazing stamps (love it that you are designing your own and I have a number of them, and also bought your kits–so I have the dies you used in 2 of the kits and then brought out via JustRite). It’s been wonderful to see how you have developed so many of your ideas–like your bow-maker that I bought from Our Daily Bread Designs.
I have many goals for the coming year, now that it is 2014, and my first HAS to be “God”, for it is my goal to really put Him first, and to have a spiritual life and a closeness and security in Him like never before. Praying that as I seek to put Him first, that the many other pieces of my life will fall in place with God at the core and centre of my life.
Thank you for offering this blog candy. I tend to pick up craft orders in Tonawanda, NY and would do so with this item if you chose my number. Hoping this works for you. And I’m excited at the thought of someone winning this item, and pray that it is the person who needs it most and would be encouraged most–someone who does not have a die-cutting machine and who does not have the means to buy one. That would be the most exciting choice of a winner, and pray this happens. We all would “like” this machine, who wouldn’t, but it is my prayer that it goes to someone who just couldn’t buy one and doesn’t already have a die-cutting machine, so that person can enjoy using embossing folders–those are very inexpensive, and to get some dies too as it’s possible. That’s my hope for the blog candy. Sorry it’s so long…
How I love to see a blog update from you in my inbox, Becca–you make my day!!! Happy New Year to you and your family, and to all who are dear to you. May God richly bless you in this coming year! It’s been a thrill to see how God has gone before you and has worked it out for you to work in this field, and I love buying what you create–love your taste in stamps and dies–and your cards of course!!! :)
Thanks for sharing with all of us. Your are truly an INSPIRATION.
My word is Contentment!
I want to be content with what I have and not dreaming of all that I could have.
Hi Becca,
I am thrilled about the give away and I am a subscriber by email and on youtube. For this New Year I want to become more ORGANIZED – which I am starting with my spellbinders, in the process of making a spellbinders book.
Thank you for the chance to win your giveaway. :D
Deborah
Oh my!! What a wonderful giveaway. Just checked this machine out and I certainly would love to win. Thanks Becca, your the best
Hi Becca. Wow, what a great goody you are giving away. And, my word would be Happiness. I want this year to be full of happiness and joy for my family, friends and myself.
My words for 2014 is Jesus. I hope to make Him more important in my life than I did in 2013. He’s my main encouragement and gives me principles that help me in my relationships throughout my daily life. Have a great year Becca! I plan to.
Hi Becca, what a wonderful gift for some lucky winner. Though the real gift is there for all of us, the gift that keeps on giving – your blog with all it’s inspiration and creativity. My word for today is BEAUTY because your blog is a reminder that there is beauty all around us and my prayer is that it will also shine out of us.
Alice xx
Hi and Happy New Year…..I really enjoy your blog.
My word for today is HELPFUL I hope to be as helpful to everyone I meet during the coming year as I can possibly be…
Wow, what a give away! I am so glad I’m a subscriber too! Your creativity is beyond equal…full of beauty and motivates me to make my creations more beautiful.
My word for this year is GRANDDAUGHTER as we are expecting our 6th granddaughter in February. One more to teach this wonderful craft we all love. You are an inspiration, I check out your blog every day and love the new stamps and dies you are creating. Thanks for all you do for us, especially your tutorials, and I wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
hi Becca.thank you for this change! my word for this year is SMILE! sorry for my english! big hugs from ITALY
SARA
Wow – what a great way to start the new year. I tune in every day to see your wonderful inspirations and have been a subscriber by email for years. I also subscribed to your kits when they were available and love them !! They are treasured along with one or your cards that I won when purchasing the bow maker, One word for the new year will be organize. I really need to GET RID of some of the STUFF so I can create more with what I have.
Health! I need to get back on track with my eating habits. It was hard to do last year and now I am paying for it :)
Happy New Year Becca! I love your blog and all of your projects and cards. I’m a dedicated follower of your blog. My word is “kindness”. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Thank you, Becca, for this fun opportunity. I truly enjoy the projects you share with us and the products we get to explore with you (and, OK, I’ll admit, drool over!).
My first word for 2014 is TIME. I am asking God to help me use my TIME more wisely-in all areas of my life. Two focus areas are the TIME I am home with my parents–that I don’t use it for “house” work; and the TIME I need to get our house and paper work organized. I am expecting God to come through strongly for me to accomplish this!
Wedding!
This is an amazing give away. I would love to win it. I love everything you do it gives me such inspiration. I hope you keep up the wonderful work. God has truly blessed you.
What an interesting looking machine! My word for the new year is ORGANIZE!

WOW! Such a fun way to start 2014. My first word for 2014 is CHALLENGE! Challenge myself to try new things.
Organization is my word for 2014. I’ve already used an idea you provided with the ribbons wrapped on mat board. Great idea and a tremendous space saver. Thank you!
try
I will use up all my stuff that I already have this year.
1/2 marathon. I’m signed up for my first two this year. I struggle to find time but like all things it is worth it. Just hope it doest take away from creative time :) Take care and happy new year.
“Patience” goes a long way in getting me through each day. I plan to remind myself to practice “patience” in 2014!
Wow! That is going to make someone very happy!
Thanks for inspiring me with all of your creations Becca! I look forward to your posts. I would love to win this. Thanks for giving us all the opportunity to win such wonderful Blog Candy! Happy New Year.
Organization is also my word. I would like to get my craft room organized so I know what I have lol. thanks for a chance to win an awesome awesome machine.
I follow your blog RSS through feedly (google reader before). 2014 Focus is Simply.
My word is ENJOY! I will enjoy looking at artisans like you. I will enjoy striving to be a better artisan and share my creations with people who need a boost in their lives. I do this already but feel I should do it more. I will enjoy the gifts the creator has given me everyday and cherish all who touch my life.
Be ca thank you for the many years you have helped me in countless ways.
I want to use my investment in dies more EFFICIENTLY this year by applying them to more than just cards. I want to make mini albums and plan to use dies and embossing folders in my album designs.
I wish you the most wonderful New Year ever Becca!
My New Year word is habit. I have tried over and over to quit the smoking habit for years now. I’ve tried patches, gum, and all sorts of other things over the years, and none of them worked. This time I am trying an e-cig, and belong to some on line forums where so many others like me found that the e-cig was the only way to get rid of the habit. It seems to be working well, and I have wonderful support in the forums. Anyway, if I actually can use the e-cigs until I’m down to 0 nicotine and no real cigarettes, I will live longer, and be able to do more creating!
Love your blog and the wonderful ideas you have and share, My gift would be to win this wonderful machine for mine as died and not able to replace at this time. God has great things in-store for you in 2014 and can not wait to see his direction and the way you utilize those powers.
Continue sharing and God Bless you.
How I am the lucky recipient.
One word to describe my 2014 plans would be “organize”. I know that I could get so much more done in my craft room if I was just organized. lol I love reading your blog and seeing all your gorgeous projects. Thanks for sharing with us.
I get your posts through email sent to my inbox and I love looking at all the lovely cards and projects you make. I would love to have half the talent that you have. They are all just so beautiful and breathtaking. I think my word for today would be HEALTH. I am in the “rusty” generation (should be golden but not for me) and always in need of repair work on tis old body. Please keep inspiring all of us as you do and have a Happy, Healthy, New Year.
Becca, what a wonderful gift to give your dedicated blog readers. My plans for this year include “experimenting” with all my new Spellbinder dies (I think I’m up to 125 or so now). I have to admit, your blog and cards have inspired me more than anyone else in blog land. I can always spot your cards on pinterest and each one is a work of art. Blessings to you and your family in 2014, keep looking up for our redemption draweth nigh. Love and hugs in Christ, Sherrie
Wow, that would be neat to win! Thank you for the chance.Happy New Year! My word would be” LOVE”
I would love to win this! AWESOME blog candy! My word for 2014 will be “LOVE”
Happy 2014 everyone. We have all become one family thanks to you Becca. You have shared your life, your sorrows, your joys and your creativity with us and we in turn have shared with others. My word for 2014 is actually two words – PAY FORWARD. So many people have all of these new years resolutions to lose weight, stop smoking, etc, but I feel the most important thing to resolve to do is to share our love with people and give of ourselves. Keep inspiring us and sharing yourself with us and as for me – I promise to do the same.
Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome gift and for generously sharing your creativity. My word for 2014 would be thankful. I am thankful for the blessings of a loving, happy and healthy family. Happy New Year.
Becca, we have a Happy Hearts basket from which we draw our New Year ‘assignments’ in the form of a single word or statement, and my first word for the New Year is ‘elevate.’ I hope to raise the hopes, dreams, self-esteem, self-worth, etc. of others whenever possible. Having seen the results of a few timely & positive words, donations of items and time, I am excited by the prospect of doing this intentionally and often. (This is really a selfish thing as it makes me feel sooooo good, but the look on the recipient’s face tells me it was pretty uplifting for them also!)
Happy New Year, Becca! So love your blog and your work. I refer people to your blog all the time and they are ALWAYS speechless at the overwhelming quality of your work. Looking forward to another wonderful year of amazing eye candy!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My word for 2014 is kindness – to be more mindful that I extend kindness to all. Thank you for the chance to win.
Your blog always inspires me to do more, be more creative. My one word is creative. Thanks so much, Becca, for your beautiful cards.
Your blog always inspires me to “stretch my creative self.” My one word would be creative.

My word is Quality. I’m a prolific crafter who occasionally sacrifices quality for quantity. It’s a mistake I will aim to rectify. Best wishes for God’s blessings in your life and in the life of all those you touch with your inspiring talent
WOW Becca, that is one amazing blog candy, thank you for the chance to win. There are so many words to choose from but if I have to pick one for this post, it will be APPRECIATION. I appreciate my family, my amazing grandchildren, my friends and this hobby that allows me to be creative.

In 2014 I’m working on spending more time in prayer. In 2013, I worked on reading more of my Bible. Now my prayer life needs attention.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such an amazing prize.
All the best to you and your family in 2014, Becca. I am not in the States but your fabulous prize could be mailed to a friend of mine there and I could receive it from her later!

Thanks for the opportunity!
:D
health – loose a little weight – exercise a little more. Thanks for a chance to win.
What a fab prize. Thanks for a chance to win it.
First I need to say you make the most Elegant cards I’ve seen anywhere. I spend way to much time visiting blogs but I have never seen cards with your level of elegance on them. They are definitely not the style of cards I typically make, but I absolutely LOVE viewing yours. I’ve even bought some of the dies you use but haven’t been brave enough to try layering them like you do. My word for 2014 is Organization, which I need to apply to all areas of my life, not just my card making supplies, but that’s a good place for me to start. I’m making lists for each month, noting which areas I want to work on organizing that month. Hope you have a fabulous 2014.
Been a “longtimer” and will always hang around to see what you create or what challenge you put yourself up to next! Love your work!
THANKFUL – That is what I feel starting the new year. I believe this is one word we should sincerely say everyday. I love my cardmaking hobby and you inspire we so much. Hope you have a great New Year.
SHARE ..what I have learned to create beautiful cards. I cut and emboss and share with dementia patients, so they can have nice cards for there family members.please add my name for your give away.glad you had time with you daughter. My favorite time of holidays were cooking with my teenage granddaughters.thank you so much for all you have shared with all of us
I plan to start a new exercise regimen. Need to get healthy.
Happy New year Becca, thank you for all your beautiful inspiration.
I have had Breast Cancer 2 years ago and now have Bone cancer, so my word is ENJOY and cherish each day.
Happy New year Becca and everyone!
Organize is at the top of my list too. My craft room is full to the gills and
so disorganized right now. I know if I clean up every drawer, cupboard and shelf I will find many crafty things I forgot about or lost and haven’t even used yet.
Happy New Year! My word for today is ‘FRIENDSHIPS’, make new ones, enjoy the current ones, and be kind to all who could be your friend!
My word….organize…get organized…stay organized. Too much stuff that is too hard to find. When I get that way it is hard to think and plan…to busy trying to find stuff. I enjoy your sharing some of your organizational schemes with us.
Awesome giveaway! One word I hope will be prominent for me in Organization!
I’m a long-time E-mail subscriber.
Happy New Year!
My word: LIFE – my Dad passed away on July 29, 2013. Losing him has caused a lot of grief but it also made me realize that the words “life is short” are more than words. It’s so important to be involved in life and enjoy every second because it is short and can be over before we know it. I plan to spend 2014 being a part of life in ways I’ve never been before.
my word for today is MOTIVATION.. i really need to be motivated in whatever i do…
Hi Becca: I have been a longtime follower of your work. My word : Empower Thru your work you have inspired and empowered myself & many of my friends to create, share & inspire others. You have made a difference in many of us thru your work & GOD. Many Thanks for your inspiring work.
Wow super cool giveaway. I will say my word is Exercise because I need to get back to my Curves workout since my surgery in Apr. thanks for the chance to win
Hi Becca! My word for this year is LIVE! I have had a really bad year suffering with debilitating Chronic Migraine that keeps me in a dark, quiet room almost every day. It has kept me from living a full and creative life. I can’t even go to church because the perfume smells and loud singing (that I used to cherish) make me suffer. This year, I am throwing ALL of my energy into finding something that will help me and allow myself to enjoy life again!
My next word for the new year is going to be “use”. And all that means is that I plan to use as much of the crafting “stuff” that I have bought because I “just had to have it” and then never got around to using it. That means I’ll be having not just a “use every stamp” year, but a use every stamp, die, punch, paper pad, marker, etc. etc. etc. This could keep me going well into the next decade! LOL!
My word would be originality..I’m going to try to work more on my own designs and less on casing others.
Your talent and creativity is such an inspiration. Definitely a level that I aspire to.
Thanks for letting us view your awesome card and project creations. My word for today is HELP. I want to be a help to those folks around me that need a helping hand or a listening ear.
Badlands
Me is my word. This year I hope to focus on me a little more. Sounds selfish I guess but after years of taking care of others I’ve lost the person I used to be. I want to be less stressed, happy & more confident. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My next word is play. Just allow myself the time to play.
Becca, my word for today is “PEACE” to have in my heart for 2014. If we have peace we can do great things and I want to spend more time with family & friends. I also want to be able to play with paper crafting which gives me peace. Thank you for sharing your talent and also the goodies that someone will win.
Thank YOU for sharing your beautiful talent! You have helped me learn so much about card making and techniques! Another word for this year is VOLUNTEER! I want to volunteer more for our local organization that does so much good for so many people in need, including spreading the word of God to those that may not have heard it.
for to day my word is possitive whitch l will try to be love you lots linda
Purpose
Growth
My second word for 2014 is HAPPY
“Patience” is the art of hoping….luc de clapiers.
GRATITUDE! So many times I find it so easy to grumble about something stupid. This year my plan is to be more grateful. I am a lucky woman.
Inspiration
My inspirational word for each day of 2014 will be gratitude.
MY WORD FOR THIS YEAR IS FAMILY , I HOPE AND PRAY FOR PEACE WITHIN MY SMALL FAMILY. THANKYOU BECCA FOR ALL YOU GIVE .
Happy New Year and thanks for all the inspiration you share. I check your site every morning like clockwork. I love the detail you add to all your work, I droll and sometimes I can come close to what you create. I cannot add all the bows you add as I mail so many cards. I do create only for family, friends and military and VA hospitals, but sooo enjoy every minute of it, even when I make a ‘mistake’, I just go with it and create something that changes midway, not much ends up in the trash can. All the dies I have are from Spellbinders, rec’d 5 new ones for Christmas and can’t wait to give them a whirl. Would love to have this new die and embossing machine.
Love all of your beautiful creations. Faith will be my constant companion for 2014.
My word would be GRATEFUL our son has been diagnosed with MS we moved them to stay with us until they could get into Handy Cappable housing. They got a unit just before Christmas. We are so grateful to the people who made this possible as we thought we were looking at a 2 year wait. They both got a family doctor another blessing as thousands are still waiting. A scooter was donated and a bedrail and toilet raiser gifted. Amazing how news travels and generous people have helped so much we are truly blessed.
Wow! Thank you so much for the chance to win a fabulous prize. Congratulations on 6 years! My word for 2014? Strength. I need to lose some weight for my son’s wedding in May and I need LOTS of strength to resist all the goodies.
Hola Becca mi palabra hoy es ORGANIZACION ya que definitivamente mi pequeño estudio esta listo para los nuevos proyectos de 2014.
Another day, another post. I’m just not sure that I am getting all my posts for this give away in the right place! If so, wonderful; if not, I still feel blessed to have found Amazing Paper Grace with all your inspiration. Thank you.
Commitment – I love your blog and the endless creations you make. They are so inspiring and stuniing. My commitment for 2014 is to restart my card making hobby; somewhere along the way I lost my mojo and this past Christmas made me realize how much I missed crafting. Time to get the creativity flowing once more. Thanks for your inspirations.
Mily
HEALTH
I have Crohn’s and my GI has been on me to go on biological drugs, which I am very afraid to do. It can cause incurable cancer. So I really need to get this disease in remission–too much inflammation can also cause cancer. It all makes me very tired…
Word or this year – Inspire. I want to make sure that I inspire others as much as I am inspired by those around me. And I get a big chunk of it from this blog!
What a great prize. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a lovely prize from such a wonderful crafter,
What would my word for today be??? Maybe thankful. I want to be more mindful of my life, and be thankful for the small things. Thanks for your lovely blogs!!!
What a great prize! You have given us all so much inspiration through the years, so here’s to another great year we all get to look forward to with you. My word for this year would be faith. Thanks, Becca!
Blessed is a great way to start each day. Love your blog.
Creative. I made so many wedding invitations last year that I got burned out. This year I plan to get back my creativity. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hi Beca! Happy New Year! Can’t wait to see your creations in the new year! The word I chose “leisure”. I want more leisure time to be able to create mini-art in the form of cards. I like the more intricate cards, and finding time to make them is often a challenge, and getting them done before the date I need them! Sandy
My first word for the year is MINDFULNESS. To be in the moment, to use the moment well, to be conscious of that moment and the joy within it.
What a delightful gift. A word that I’m including in my 2014 inspiration list is ‘reflection’….hopefully quiet reflection.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
my word for today would be “organized”…hopefully, I want to make this a daily goal. A little bit every day.
Thanks for all you do and for just being you.
Another word for this year is MIXED MEDIA JOURNAL. I need to create again.
Blessed… is my word…as I remember that I am so BLESSED. I think about where I would be if I were not a child of God an constantly receiving his Blessings!!
Jennifer
Just have to add another comment in the hopes of being super extra lucky!
Love…Love of Family, Friends, and many others That I may not even know. What would we do without LOVE!
Jennife
PEACE – I want to find the calm and remain in it.
Contentment :) To cherish everything and be at ease with who I am.
Wow, look at all those replies. LOL. I am not surprised.
My word is ABUNDANCE. In this coming year, I look forward to find ways to bring abundance of health, wealth, love and laughter to my family and me.
Movement,
Thanks Becca, this is a good reminder.
Productive, yup, I definitely need to be more productive this year. In my mind I would like to have everything in my life well organized, and many parts of it are, but there are still many things that need to be taken care of, and the most obvious right now is all my Christmas decorations, etc. My plan, starting after this post, is to sort through all of my decorations and give away those items that I no longer display, pack up those that I’m keeping, and label each box so that I know exactly what’s inside. I’ll really feel good if that job is completed today.
my word is “prayer”. I was diagnosed with cancer last January 7th and went through 40 treatments of radiation to the head area. My “prayer” is for a cure for cancer and support for all the people that are going through it!!!
Hi Becca: As the new year opens I’m looking forward to seeing more of the gorgeous handiwork that you generously share. Kindness is today’s word.
Take care, Jean.
Becca, there are days when your updates absolutely give me the inspiration I need for card making and for life in general. You are a positive light in all the sadness and unhappiness I hear and see in the world. I THANK YOU! My word for 2014 is HOPE.
CREATE – I have a lot of new crafting supplies and need to put them to use.
Thank you for the opportunity to win these great prizes. My word for today is:
My word, LIFE. It may sound funny but it’s the first word that came to mind. My husband became sick 6 years ago this week and took a stress leave. He has been back to work full time now for the last year. It felt like life was on hold as he slowly make he way back to us. This past Oct and Dec. I’ve had two of our kids get engaged. My husband has also started up his schooling again that he started about 15 years ago. I now feel that life has fully began for us again.
yesterday my word was progress and to accomplish that i need to move FORWARD, look FORWARD.
My word for this year will be “organize”. I hope to work at gettting everything in our house pared down and completely organized.
My word for this year will be reorganize! I have been in the past an organized person but lately that has taken back seat and I need to work on it some more.
My word for today is PRAYER. It’s another thing I need to persevere in!
Another word that I need to incorporate into my new year is “grow.”
I need to grow deeper in my faith with Christ. I learn so much more about life when I feel closer to Him.
THANK YOU for your inspiration. Over all the years that I have been following you, I have used your designs countless times……….. never looking like yours, but better than if I hadn’t used your pattern.
God Bless your year Becca!
When I grow up, as an artist (I’m 56), I hope to be better at my art. So my word for today is AMBITION.
Another word is friend. I want to be a better friend. I need to get in touch with people I haven’t seen in a while and catch up on things.
Becca,
Happy New Year !! YOU ARE AMAZING! I wish I could have a fraction of your talents. Thank you VERY MUCH for the opportunity to win. You are extremely thoughtful and generous!
My 2014 will start out with the word “forgiveness”.
Hi Everyone!
Today, my word for 2014 is ‘QUESTION’. Yesterday, my word was ‘win’, and in order to win in my efforts to improve, I must reflect on what my efforts are now, and ask myself (question) why these current efforts haven’t gotten me any further than I am. I will question what other avenues I can pursue and what new practices I can adopt in order to reach my goals!
Today my word is Time. I want to give myself more time for me. I am always doing things for others be it at work or at home. This year I think I need to have some more time for myself.
Nope, I don’t qualify for that. I follow you on my blogger dashboard…..Oh well..
Oh and my Word is CLEAN….LOL I am a Craft Hoarder and REALLY need to CLEAN up my Home….
Nancy
cute can’t wait
oh choke! What amazing blog candy you’re offering up Becca! One thing I would like to work on this year is Patience.. I have so little of it, and everyone around me would love it if I could develop more! LOL!! And yes, I’m a blog follower. *smile*
I love your blog!! You really inspire me to be more creative. My word is “Linger”…just to remind me to be in the moment and savor it!
Amazing – because you are totally amazing
thank you for all your inspiration
Judy

Thanks for all your inspiration
So excited about all your giveaways.. I have loved your beautiful work and been a follower for a long time.. Thanks for sharing!
I love your artwork. It is all so beautiful. I would love to win this prize. Thank you!
Interesting giveaway. I would think that the clear cases would help some of the more intricate dies form tangling up if you store them together.
Wow. I really need some more of these cases. Thanks for the chance to win.
Becca is my blog candy every time I go to Amazing Paper Grace. Her creations really ARE A JOY.
Becca, I love your blog and the projects you post! Beautiful and inspiring work to say the least! Happy New Year! Thanks for the chance to win. Big Hugs for all you do!!!!

Another word for 2014 – Hopeful–that I can keep up with all my obligations.
Wow! Thanks for all the cards.
Thanks for giving us multiple chances to win multiple items. This is an incredible contest! My word for 2014 is, “art”. I hope that art figures prominently in my life this year. Hugs and smiles, Crissy :-D
Your creations are awesome. I hope to get organized in 2014.
Love today’s add-on. Thank you.
I love the detail in your designs and hope to make some creations inspired by yours when I get my craft room back in order! Thanks for the opportunity to win the stamp cases!
It is so great to have the opportunity to win such nice gifts. Thanks
My word today is helper. I want to help out more where I can with family :)
Happy…Because that is how I want ot deal with the stress of the day. If I think happy thoughts anfd have a light hearted attitude, I believe I will have less stress as the days pass.
Jennifer
Thanks for your time and generosity, not with the material things, but those inspirations. The cards are beautiful.
RENEWAL is my word for the year. The last 2 years have been a nightmare but I look forward to healing in the year 2014.
Wow! You are such a talented and giving lady! Happy New Year to you and yours
My 2014 word would be productive…………..after being inspired by you!
Happy New Year
Becca….everything I see on your blog is very inspirational to me!! Thank you for the chance.
I guess another word for this year for me, is creative. I hope to be even more creative this year than last, and your creations always give me inspiration!
SMILE, and HAPPY. Becca you are so giving.
You are amazing and you inspire me. Thank you for the chance to win blog candy…
My word for today is organize. My craft area is in total disarray since the holiday blitz. I still have stuff in boxes from the move and tools that I haven’t been able to find. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I can’t believe that you are adding even more to a fabulous give away! My word for this year would be to expand. Expand my crafting knowledge and experience. You inspire me so much! Keep it coming!
What an awesome opportunity to win. Thanks for all you do for the stamping world. You are such an inspiration to me. I’d love to win the blog candy, but I’m already a winner every time your e-mail comes into my mailbox.
I have so many words I would love to add but the one that really stays with me is friendship. Without this be it with family, friends or in our wonderful crafting community we wouldn’t be who we are today .. Thankyou for giving this wonderful prize away, that is true friendship! xxx
DAY 2
Well, I started today and am cleaning out my wardrobe which I use for storage of my cardmaking and scrapbooking supplies and machines. So the word for today is Condense and decide what you really need. Friends are having a crafting yard sale so hope to get rid of some I haven’t used and probably never will. LOL Then I can buy more!! LOL God Bless you and your family in this new year, Becca.
Hugs
Mstgane
Ann
HOPE
I follow your blog already but as I am resident in the UK do not qualify myself for this great blog candy. However, should I be chosen I would love this for my friend Scholly who has now returned to the USA after a stint in the UK. She is a keen crafter but does not have a die cutter.
My word is thankful because her friendship means so much to me
Becca, you are such a special lady! So giving and a real inspiration! Thanks for this great give awayy!
Becca,
I forgot to wish you a Happy New Year in my post yesterday! I wish you a blessed and healthy New Year!
Another word that will be important to me this year will be STRENGTH. My mother is going through some health issues during 2013 and has been in and out of the hospital 5 times!! My daughter is also going through some issues with her health, I know you understand what that’s like. Anyway, love your blog as I said yesterday, and am so thankful for you and others who have blogs like yours that inspire me!
Thank you again!
My word is so simple LOVE ,I love my children and Grandchildren, i love to craft, i love life and i love God .x
Take Care Becca
Thinking of my Granddaughter today, it is her birthday, I love her very much. Thank you for offering this blog candy.
I love your blog, I have gleamed such a lot of inspiration and also faith to try harder. Thankyou x My word today is FAITH xx
Wishing you a happy, healthy and hearty 2014. I am starting out my year with the word “Faith”. It will carry me through highs & lows and gives me the confidence to carry on with my best effort with everything I do. I can almost write a book about you as I’ve been following you almost from ‘your’ beginning and have folders of printed issues of your posted projects. It’s my bible of paper craft ideas and can be shared with all my friends. I am so glad to have you in my life. May the good Lord bless you always.
Balance is my goal for 2014. Retired ten years ago but still never seem to have as much time as I’d like, what with church activities, volunteering, family, travelling, and cottaging, for crafting tome. Not complaining as I have a great life.
I love your blog and your designs are simply beautiful. Thank you for all your inspiration. Debra in the uK
2nd word…….Confidence! I want to love myself more, and regain the self confidence I USED to have (before a failed 20 year marriage!)
My word is Thanks. For all the inspiration you have given me to take my cards to a higher level. I love your style and you really inspire me.
This is awsome.A blessed year for you and that God will continue guiding you
Hi Beca,
Love these clear stamp storage boxes! Never have enough, it seems. Today, the word I chose is practicing more “gratitude”. By making and sending gorgeous custom made greeting cards, we express our gratitude for people, whether it be for birthdays, graduation, thank-you’s, etc. I need to find the time to make more cards to give enjoyment to people and to express my gratitude of their friendship! Sandy
my word for today is ‘positive’ I try to stay positive on most things, but sometimes the devil sneaks in and then before you know it I am thinking the worst. Stuff happens to all of us but that is why God wants us to rely on him to share the burdens. He is there always to help in every way ALWAYS! And you always seem to be a ray of sunshine!
I love your creative creations…..always inspiring. Hmmm that’s a very good word.
My word for 2014 is commitment. First to God and then to my family. Love your work and inspiration for us to do good for others.
These cases are great. My word today is “enthusiasm”.
My second word is ‘PRESS ON” though two words it is one thought. Forgetting what lies behind, press on to the upward call of Jesus Christ. No matter what happened in the past, I can press with new focus and new hope.
Thanks Becca for another chance to win this awesome prize.
I think my word would have to be “Blessed”. I am so blessed in having a wonderful husband and loving family and friends. And more than that – so blessed that I am from a Christian family who introduced me to God’s love whilst just a child!! I have been an email subscriber since somebody I met at craft fair a few years ago mentioned your name. I then had to search the internet until I found you because this person didn’t know your name. But I persevered, thank goodness. Please keep on inspiring us Becca!! Hugs Christine xx
Happy New Year, Becca!
Yes, 2013 whizzed by ever so quickly! I didn’t stamp as much as I had wanted to. Here’s hoping for a more productive year…for me. One of the things I’ll need to do is to check your blogs daily to get the mojo juices flowing.
Thank you!
You have been a source of inspiration for me for a few years now, it is a joy to see what you do every time I check my mail box. I don’t post comments very often but look forward to all your future projects so thanks for your blogging. God bless :)
Boy could I ever use those cases….thank Becca for the chance to win! My new word for the day and year is ‘kindness’! Will try to show more kindness to everyone!!!
Jan
You are truly amazing, and generous too! Thank you for a chance to win something so fabulous! And I look forward to every card you post – always so beautiful!
Many thanks for all your inspiration Becca – I love to pop in to your blog ( I am a subscriber by e-mail) and love to see waht you create. I hope to have a more creative year in 2014 and post more of my makes on my blog. Thank you for the chance of blog candy. J x
My 2nd Comment: when I read your blog yesterday the one that popped into my head was ORGANIZE. I realized this could affect many parts of my life. In recent years I have felt scattered, tired, disorganized, and feel like I am always playing catch up. This year I want to take some deep breaths, slow down a little, think things through more, and then move forward in every area of my life in a more thought out- ORGANIZED fashion. We’ll see. Thanks Becca!
My word for today is consistency. I’d like to stay with something to reach the goal!
The clear cases are wonderful way to organize. I seem to overflow on stamps and other things before I can get new boxes to put them in. Thanks for your wonderful blog and the inspiration you provide me.
Whoo-hoo!!! How exciting! I have subscribed to your blog for a couple of years now and while I do not comment on every blog, I enjoy reading them. You have been such a blessing to me and I plan to continue on being blessed by you! Keep up the good work!
Happy New Year xx
I adore your work. I love that it’s girly w/o being over the top. I learn so many cool tips from you. For example, you used buttons for feet. Simple and very effective.
I look forward to your posts arriving in my E-mail’s In Box.
YEAAAAAH!!!!!!!! I’m on the e-mail Subscriber list!!!!!!!:) These cases would be GREAT to have & get me ORGANIZED for the New Year too!!!!!!!:) THANKS BECCA!!!!!!!!!!:)
The word today is INSPIRATION! I get lots of it for my cards from your blog. But I’m also inspired by the type of person that you are – so kind and giving. Thank you for your inspiration in many areas.
I subscibe to your blog by email and I live in England. I’d love to be a bit more ORGANIZED with my unmounted stamp storage, so thank you for the opportunity to win some of the clear cases – you are so kind and thoughtful Becca!
my word is “committed”. I love your blog. You make the most amazing cards. Totally love the purse.
Wow, Becca, this is great news. I am a email subscriber, and would have to be very lucky to win. You have a long list of followers!! I can’t wait to see the new products and the designs you will be making with them. You are a wonderful inspiration to the crafting community. Charlotte
I love your blog! Thank for the great opportunity to win. Jeanne Shipman
My word is “Organize”, I really need to do this. Your blog is one of the first blogs I joined several years ago. You are such an inspiration! Thank you for this great blog candy.
Can’t wait to see the new Spellbinders, Becca!
I subscribe by email, and I’m always pleased to see a new post from you.
My word for this year is BLOGGER. I have a blog, but I’ve never given it much attention. My goal this year is to post at least once a week. Not a lofty goal, by any means, but one that I think is doable without being stressful to me! Who knows, maybe I’ll even end up posting more often than that!
Thanks so much for the chance to win the Artisan X-Plorer ~ it looks like a wonderful little machine!
May the new year hold nothing but happiness for you, Becca!
Thank you for the chance to win !!!!!! I need to get organized….
My next word for this year will be TRY, try several new technics, try to reach more people, try to take time and do more craft, try to be better….and Succeed.
Thank you Becca, Have a great day
Odile
Many thanks to you for all the inspiration you have given me over the years. when I get stuck or blocked I just pull up your blog and find all I need to get my mojo flowing again. Many thanks and blessings to you and yours
Thank you Becca, for a chance to win you blog candy. I love your cards as I said before they inspire me to do better with my creations.
I hope your New Year is full of God’s blessings.
Becca! You must have been reading my mind! I was going to order more cases for my stamp sets that are still in the boxes! I know I am a nut but I just can’t seem to keep my hands off the stamp sets! What a way to go, paper, ink, stamps and tons of great inspiration! FYI I just started reorganizing my craft room as I could not walk in there with out hitting my toes!! Can anyone relate? Anyway, my word for the day is ORGAINIZATION! I will be posting pics as soon as it is done and will share thoughts of good ideas and bad! Thank you, Becca, you are truly an angel!
Live your Dreams,
Melinda
Love these cases. Love looking at your beautiful work.
Very inspiring.
How exciting Becca! My word for today is CREATIVE. I love feeding off of others creations, but I want to start creating some that are solely my own.
Thanks foppr the great Blig candy!
Did you know that you should read things carefully and thoroughly? And it probably helps if you’re not half asleep. Left my comment yesterday hoping for a chance at the Artisan, but somehow missed seeing your request for my word for 2014. So here it is: creativity (as in making/finding more time for it!) Thrilled at the prospect of die storage cases. Have been spending a little time over the holidays cleaning up and reorganizing my crafting space and these cases would come in so handy! Hope 2014 is off to a roaring start for you. Thanks for the opportunity.
I don’t have a chance on winning here. However, just stopping to tell you I enjoy your work and wish you a Happy New Yrar.
Leanne
Love the add on and how you are thinking of your fellow internet crafters wtg. Word for 2014 – “Storage”…and how perfectly todays add on would help me clean up and store all my die-cuts
Happy New Year again!! I commented yesterday but can’t seem to find it! Yikes!!
Anyway….my word for the year is determined. I was going with organized but I’m changing it to determined. I am still determined to be organized bit I can’t limit it to that!!
I am a long time subscriber and have always admired your magnificent work as well as you wonderful “view of the world.” You always brighten our days with your lovely positive posts.
My subscriber email is different that this login: wahini 97 at yahoo dot com.
Thanks so much for the chance to win this fabulous machine!! I am starting to try the mixage pieces and would love to have this high pressure machine!!
Love to you and yours!
Sue Brailey
So in love with your cards Becca. Looking forward to the Spellbinders Blog Hop too. Really pleased that as an international reader I can be included in your blog candy this time round. Would have loved the chance for the Artisan and will be really pleased for the lucky recipent of that! Blessings be with you for 2014. Gillian xx
Thank you Becca. You are soo generous giving that away. I hope to be one of he lucky winners.
First add on day. I am a subscriber so you can pick my name for the drawing LOL! my word for the day is determination. I had rotator cuff surgery (shoulder) done the end of September. I need to keep up with my shoulder exercises to get full range of motion back in my shoulder. It is a SLOW process. I also need to build my muscles back up. It’s amazing how much is lost when the arm is in a sling for 6 weeks.
As usual – you spoil us! Not only do you share your wonderful ideas, but you make it fun, interesting and generous. Love the add-ons. Happy New Year!
Yes I am a long time subscriber! Today my word will be storage! Yes these cases will come in handy!
Thanks Becca!
My word for 2014 is ‘Embrace”
Embrace what life brings in all it’s forms, for what at first does not seem like a gift can reward you in ways you can not imagine.
Becca, I love the stamp cases, but I love your emails even more. Thank you so much for sharing regularly. Another thing I am considering for the new year is intentional caring. I get so busy and fatigued that I forget to deliberately look for ways to minister to others. I want to do that more.
Finish…that’s my word…finish building our house so I can have a place to craft in again….tired of working and living out of boxes!!!!
Thanks Becca for all the wonderful opportunites you are providing us with to win the blog candy. The blog candy is awesome and so are all your creations…Happy New Year.
I would love to be a winner. Thanks for the opportunity! I enjoy you blog and look forward to seeing the next one. I am on your email list and am so glad I get your emails.
Thank -you for the great add on. We can always use new storage! Love your blog, Becca. Hope you are having a great New Year!! Hugs.
Forgot my word! It is “EMPOWERED!”.
I picked a second word to go along with HOPE, and that is CHANGE. I am due for some major changes in my life and I plan on 2014 being the year I can make that happen!
I, too, enjoy reading the comments sent to you by your readers. Most are truly full of hope and inspiration, and I am in need of that at this time. I really enjoy your blog.
Thanks for this opportunity Becca – you inspire, inspire, inspire us all. TIDY is my word, I must learn to keep my craft room Tidy :) xx
Happy New Year to you and yours. Would love to win this machine and try to create all the lovely things you show us in your blog. You are a very creative and talented lady. Love your inspirations, keep them coming.
Soy admiradora internacional, de Venezuela, Gracias por esta pagina y por compartir tus conocimientos Dios te bendiga, lo disfruto al maximo. Me encantaria tenerlo

Mi palabra Admiracion

Eliana
I always love reading your blog. Your cards are so stunning. Thanks for the fab add-on and your amazing inspiration. Happy New Year.
I have been a subscriber to your blog for quite a while. For some reason I have had to re-subscribe twice. I do follow you on Pinterst, but I hate to miss your wonderful posts.
My second word is Determined.
I am determined to learn how to use my wishlblade this year! I have had it for about 3 years and have only used it a few times so every time I make an attempt to use it, it’s like the first time.
The word for today is, HEALTH!
Happy New Year. Faith, in God, myself, others, the future and good health are the words for 2014
I would love to win
thanks for the chance
Happy New Year
Second post Becca, I’ve been looking through your blogs from 2008 onwards and admiring your cards and benefiting from your advice and feeling all that love. It’s so interesting to see how styles have changed. I’ll keep going as they are so interesting. Thank you again.
Becca- I love your creations and always check out your site when I need inspiration…not only for my cards but also when I’m feeling cynical about people. Your sweetness shines through and makes me feel better. Thanks for all of the hard work you do to inspire the rest of us. Happy New Year.

So very nice of you to be so generous to offer such a gran prize to win. Sure would make card making easier and fun, esp. today as snow is just pouring down and and cold—brrrrrr. Enjoy your blog and seeing what great card you have made this time.–Hugs, DonnaJeanne
?Well, I sure don’t know if I’m posting in the right place or not; however, I am trying with all my might. Trying would be a good word. Trying new things.
My word is focus. Thanks for all you do and may God continue to bless!
Becca – You have the most inspirational blog that I follow. I can’t wait until you put up each new post so I can see what new ideas you have to show us. Your words and messages on the cards you make are such a blessing to everyone! Blessing to you as we continue our journey into 2014!
Thanks so much for the opportunity Becca! I subscribed exactly yesterday. I didn´t know I could follow you by email. Though I´ve been following your blog manually for a while. I am also a subscriber to your YouTube Channel.
Look your site, have received so much inspiration from it. Would love to win some of candy.
My key word for 2014 is ‘miracle’ because above all else my family is in need of three life-saving miracles. That’s what I’m praying for.
Hi Becca, you just keep on giving.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter I would love to win (a card would be great) the disc holders would be a bonus too. We would love to see you in the U.K. you would be made soooo welcome. still smiling!!
What a great add on. Thanks for the opportunity. My second word is gratitude. To be happy and thankful for what I have.
Today I picked the word FAITH. I have faith that God will provide. It has been a devastating year around the world. One thing I enjoy is reading your inspirational blogs. I know you have had difficulties through the years but your GRACE (yesterday’s word) perseverance and FAITH have brought you through and helped you become an inspiration to others. I love your messages and encouragement. You have so many talents, one of which is your artistic talent. Have a wonderful year, I look forward to seeing your new creations!
My word today is FAITH. To have faith that the new year will bring peace and joy to the hearts of friends and family.
You are so amazing. I love your work but equally love your positive attitude, despite all the challenges life has brought you. Thanks so much
for all of your inspirations — both in the paper work you do and the upbeat notes you share.
Ok, so my 2nd word for this year is PRAYER. I will rest in the Lord, truly… Only He can give me the strenght and courage to keep on living and giving my best to the ones I love.
Becca you truely are an amazing woman. I´ve been following your blog for a very long time and also on the e-mail list as well and have been very long too, as I certainly wouldn´t miss any of your postings, as you always serve several goldgrains every time, I would hate to miss out on.
Have a wonderful New Year sweet blogfriend.
Hello Becca,
I’ve been subscribing for a number of years, and send your blog updates to a group of stamping friends and then we talk back and forth about what we love about that card or project you’ve unveiled. How we have enjoyed them!!!
Thank you too for so openly sharing your heart–from some very tough times like your precious husband’s illness and his home-going to heaven which were so challenging, you talked openly and other times too–and that really has been a great encouragement for me. I’ve been disabled (from a car accident when I was hit while stopped at a red light) for over 20 years, and card-making has been a wonderful artistic outlet as I can no longer perform the music I loved as a university professor, nor can I teach. And many days and sometimes weeks I cannot make cards, but I can look at others and watch YouTubes and learn techniques so that when I’m able I can try those. And how I’ve loved watching you soar and do so well with your stamp sets and dies, and I know you will continue to do so well because you have artistry running through your veins (after all I do know artistic talent), and as well you let your love of God shine through your work and your life, and I love that too. God is using you to encourage so many of us, Becca, and it thrills me to hear that we encourage and bolster you too. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be!!!
This year I am hoping to organize my crafting space, so I love the idea of these cases, oh my!!! That is a huge goal along with my first of having a closer relationship with my Savior which is first. I get such a thrill when I create a card that I thought was beyond my abilities, and very timidly hope to start my own little blog in the coming year. One that will be a place for me to upload cards and talk about creating cards, and eating well and my relationship with Christ, and also talking about disability and how to cope in the midst of great pain which happens to be my issue, for someone else it’s another issue. Hoping to be more of a blessing to others too, what a pleasure that is as well. Oh dear, another long one…sorry. Blessings, Joanne
Never have seen such a generous give-away! May the Lord bless you in this New Year, Becca, as you have blessed so many with your talents.
My word for 2014 is going to be ORGANIZATION….for my stamp room.
great storage ,would be a great addition to any crafting workstation ,Live in I Ireland and would love the chance to win , love your blog ,great inspiration .Laura O
I am so sorry I missed yesterday! I wasn’t able to access my computer due to dead batteries in my mouse!!! What a bummer. I think my word for this year is PATIENCE. My husband suffered a major stroke on Jan 17th 2013 and after he was finally able to make it home on May 15, within two weeks he suffered a Gran Mal seizure. So I am now a 24/7 caregiver and it has been very, very difficult to maintain my patience. I guess another word for 2014 will be HOPE. We have been given hope that he might be able to return to close to normal after lots and lots of therapy. He will never regain the use of his left hand, but possibly his left arm. Even that would be such a blessing for him!!! He gets so discouraged and that makes my heart hurt so much! We have been married almost 54 years (February 1st) and he has been the very best husband and father imaginable. Now my prayer is for him to recover enough to be able to care for himself. Thanks for this chance and please have a fantastic New Year!!! I have been with you since almost the beginning of your blogging and wouldn’t miss one of them.
You are so nice to give these nice gifts away. I just hope I can be among the winners. I am almost 94 years old and still creating. Won’t stop until I draw my last breath I guess. Best wishes to you in this new year.
My word for today is PLANNING.
Becca I am excited for that spellbinder sneek peek! You always do a fabulous job with spellbinders… I’m sure my wishlist will be growing!
Becca,
I love your blog, your cards are such an inspiration.Thank you for all the work you are willing to share with all the crafters.
My word today is Patience. I need to find more patience in the things I cannot change.
Happy New Year! I have two resolutions this year, 1st to be more organized in my space and time management and the 2nd is for my resolution to last longer than 2 months. :) Thank you for all your wonderful inspirations and the things that you’ve taught me over this past year.
Dear Becca, my focus this year is “renewal”. 2013 started off very rocky with my husband being diagnosed with Stage II esophageal cancer (on his birthday no less) and has ended with his continued recovery after chemo, radiation & robotic surgery. While I haven’t had much time to focus on your beautifully creative designs, I have promised myself that 2014 will be THE year I breakout the dies & start exercising those creative juices. If I’m lucky enough to win a prize, so be it. If not, I’m OK with that as well. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your talents with us & I can’t wait to see more APG die designs. Have a wonderful 2014!
Thanks for the chance to win a great prize!! I follow your blog by email and look forward to each post! Thank you for your inspiration!!
2014 Here we come!!! I would love to win the Artisan X-Plorer but I have already won being part of your group of creative people!!!
My word for 2014 is “INSPIRATION” because without you and the lovely people at Spellbinders there would be no inspiration, a very healthy and happy 2014 to you and your family. Best wishes Liz Spooner.
Hi Becca,
Your cards are fantastic, so elegant! You and Spellbinders make a great team, thanks for the chance to win the candy. My word is routine, I must get into one and not dilly dally through the day.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Rene from OZ xo
My next word is Remembrance– taking time to remember lost parts of myself and turn that into a creative expression whether it be through crafting or in song, or both. I see it as a process of reconnecting and honoring parts of myself that got lost along the way.
Thank you so much for your wonderful blog and for your generosity, Becca!
Typing that brought the song ‘My heart is filled with thankfulness’, to mind (can you hear me humming it?) and I choose ‘thankfulness’ as my word – not only for today, but as a watchword for this year.
Hugs
Anne x
ORGANIZATION!!! That is a big word and hard to keep up with.
Which papercrafter could say ‘NO’ to those storage cases? Count me in please Becca!!
You are awesome! Thanks for running this contest.
MJ
My word for the day is “tolerance.” I need to be more tolerant of the little things that have irritated me in the past – whether it be that I’m not satisfied with my current project, my pet peeves, or other irritants that don’t seem significant in the big scope of things. Anyway, thanks for your generosity, not just with your candy, but the sharing of your talent to inspire us.
Thank you for allowing international fans to enter for the blog candy. My word is going to be INSPIRATION. You inspire me to be creative in so many different ways, and I appreciate that from time to time you go back and use pieces of equipment that you have had for a while, as many of us are not able to keep up with purchasing the very latest dies etc.
Get things done, that is what I need to do this year. I have all these things I want to do but never seem to follow through. Thanks for a chance to win these clear cases. You make me yearn for so many spellbinder dies.
OOOOOOOOPS! ‘Patience’ is something that I need to test drive this year. (I forgot to include it mind podst above)
Oh, goodie for me, I’m on that list!
Happy New Year Becca. My word for this year is FRIENDSHIP n FAMILY. Both are blessing in your life. I cherish them and I know you do too. Thanking you again for all the inspirations and some techniques that you continuously given. You are the best.
Hi Becca,
I love your blog and I get alot of inspiration from it. Thank you for all your creative work. My 2014 word for today is HEALTH. I need to change my eating habits and exercise alot more so I can be healthy to continue my creative ways for many more years.
Oh my gosh, I’d love to have these cases! My word for today is patience. I’m generally a patient person. However we are currently staying with a friend, to whom I’m very grateful. He has some habits that are just driving me nuts. So I must get my patience under control. I know it’s a short term situation, so I just have to deal with it. Thanks for this great blog candy offering.
Jess
Becca, I admire your awesome creations and can never wait to open your new posts. I have been looking for these cases all over in South Africa but to no avail. Would be wonderful to have some of them for my Spellbinders and other dies.
I’m excited about the ad-on Becca, I too have been following you for years & admire sooooo much your creativity. Keep us inspired out here in Blogland, we NEED you!
Hugs,
Maurren
Becca,
You make the most beautiful creations. I love to come to your site and look at your creations and get inspired. LOVE is a word that I try to live by daily. Everyone could use more. Everyone needs more. And everyone needs to share more. I find that when I live this way, my life goes so much smoother.
Dutch
PRAYER is my word for 2014. I am a subscriber and have enjoyed our blog for a number of years. Thank you for all the inspiration, creativity, tips and techniques you so willingly share with all of us! Happy New Year.

María Alba

Unbelievable the creations you make and now the giveaways you are offering. Thanks a lot for doing this. Good luck everyone and Happy New Year.
Love all of the fun things you inspire us with. New techniques or out of the box ways to use our spellbinders die’s. Love the designs you have, I just got my first die that you designed. Love it!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Becca:
Love your cards—to me–” a day without your “amazing Paper Grace” cards—is like a day without coffee—–just gotta have one to get my day going. Happy New Year
Forgot to include my word for the year.”do” as in “do it” or “Justdo it!”
Or as in do it so it is finished, finally!, cheers,
“BLESSING” is my word,as in, I am blessed to be a BLESSING! I do not believe our blessings are for ourselves to enjoy alone but are to help and share with others. Your quiet elegance is inspirational and a blessing to each of us resulting in our being a blessing to others. This enriches others and not just ourselves,helping this to be a better world!!
Ooo storage and organization! Just what I need! Yesterday I said my one word for 2014 is “wedding.” Our son is finally marrying his sweetheart. They are both great people and this wedding is bringing us great “joy”–another word for 2014.
in your comments you state..”thank you for letting me in your mailbox”…well I say…Thank you Becca!!! for sending us mail. I do so love getting your emails..and i absolutely love your blog and postings. You are such an insperation to me and the calmness, the love, the patience and your love for our Lord that comes through your postings is just simply magestic to me. Thank you…for sharing you….with us. God Bless
Another word for 2014 is Organize. I will spend the time to get everything (well, almost everything) is place so it can be used.
I like the idea of the clear containers…good luck everyone! Good Health is two words but what the hey.
I guess I’ll try again too. This is a wonderful giveaway that I would love to win. I love to use my different machines and tools and would be very happy to add to them. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you Becca for the chance to win your clear containers they are just the best. Oh my word for 2014 is Organise something I really need to do.
hugs Trish.
Goodness Becca! Happy New Year! My one word would be Hope. I am looking for a job. Last year I lost my Mom. So this year has to be better, right? Take care.
The clear storage cases make such a great add-on gift. Great for organizing!!
Il love all of your design’s. I hope you have a great 2014.
I have been a subscriber for almost as long as you have had your blog.
Found you through one of your beautiful card.
I love all your cards and always have.
The container are a nice way o help get organized.
I don’t always comment but always read when I get the email.
You have so many loyal fans, I didn’t think my one little post would make a difference.
Thanks for sharing all you beautiful work.
OMGosh…can’t believe the first add on is clear cases for spellbinders. :D This goes with my first word to get Organized this would be perfect for my organizational project this year. yippie. :D
My second word – Priorities – making a plan and schedule to stick too.
Although I always try to keep things organized and prioritized within my home, my craft room and projects are another story. (lol) So this year my goal is get my unfinished projects finished. So in setting this goal I need to make a priority list. Not sure if there is anyone else or if you’ve ever been in this situation but I have stuff that needs some TLC. :D
Thank you
Deborah
Your are so generous!!!! my new word for 2014 is ORGANIZATION!!!!!!!!
I love your blog and can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for 2014.
Have a very Happy New Year.
Hugs
Donna
Happy New Year, Becca! You are so generous to share your talent with us, and now this! Love you and the beautiful designs you create
I missed yesterday so I’m posting 2 words today: Christ and Bible. Last year, our church read thru the Bible chronologically. My husband and I took on this challenge. We sometimes got behind and sometime’s read ahead, but we were definitely blessed. My goal this year is to continue in order to become more Christlike thru reading His Word. Plus it created great special time for us.
Really cool add-on. Thanks, Becca.
Amazing giveaways! I am a new subscriber as of a few days ago, yippee!
Very nice giveaway! Thanks for a chance to win!
Blessed and want to give my Lord all the thanks for all my blessings.
I thank you Becca for all the inspiration you have given me. I truly love watching you and look forward to what you have to bring in 2014. I know it will be Amazing.
My word for January 2 is “grace”. I want to strive to have more grace when it comes to how I relate to others, to my friends and family and my peers.
Thank you again for sharing your special talents with us!
In 2014, I plan to be more creative and make more cards.
Thank you Becca for thinking of your International followers! I didn’t post a comment before because I live in Canada. I have been following your blog for a couple of years and am always delighted by your creations. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
wow! almost 700 posts?
you are famous Becca! My word is Amazing Grace!!!
This year I hope to be better orbs pinned and use those embellishments scattered around my stamp castle (yes, stamp castle is how I affectionately refer to my little corner of the world where I craft and I am Princess :)). You are kind to offer such fun stuff – sharing your creations and inspirations are like a daily give away.
Day 2, exciting to see your lovely cards each day. Thank you again!
For my second word, I will focus on “Thankful” as in “An Attitude of Gratitude”. Being aware of things we often take for granted, and noticing things for which to be thankful. Taking the time to let someone know you appreciate them. This is a great Blog Candy challenge, not only the candy itself(which is awesome) but the thought provoking challenge you have given us – you are truly amazing, Becca, thank you!
How generous you are to offer such wonderful treats! My word for today is Faith, Faith in our everlasting God and in mankind. I missed the post yesterday so my word for yesterday is Love, Love one another as Christ loves. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s addition.
You are both amazing and generous! I’ve been following you for a few years and love seeing you fabulous works of Art! Looking forward to seeing even more in 2014! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and inspiration with all of us. Blessings to you!
Release
I need to learn to release the negativity and frustrations of the day (and sometimes the past) and not bring it home with me. I dwell on the negative too much and this requires my loving husband to carry the burden along with me.
I have long admired how you’ve used these cases. I would love to win them. :)
Today’s word is “hope”! I am hoping for a wonderful new year with lots of love and good health. It is time to reflect on the previous year and how quickly it has flown by. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all the lovely cards and always look forward to reading your blog.
Your “Blog Candy” is just what I need to start getting my craft room organized…what a great gift.
I have been following you for sometime now and enjoy the work that you do. It is absolutely beautiful. My word for today would be Amazing that somehow I found your blog and get to be inspired daily. Thanks for sharing.
Linda D.
Grateful is one of my words for this year. There is so much to be grateful for even when we don’t realize it. Becca, you continue to amaze me with your creativity and generosity. Year after year you never fail to share your works of arts
Becca,
I have been an email subscriber for awhile. The complexity of your designs is over the top. I admire your resiliency through difficult times. God bless and keep smiling.
Carol b ( Cln crs)
Hi Becca, Thanks for the opportunity to win! My word for the year is “practice”. I’m going to work hard at the things I love to try to improve. I’m going to try to get better at a few different things and I know it will take a lot of effort. Here goes……….
You have such great ideas! My word is Finish….I want to finish the projects I start, card making, sewing, etc. Looking forward to 2014.
As if the Artisian wasn’t enough you do an add on!!!! This is fantastic!
Valerie
Focus …. on the important.
How wonderful! Clear cases are always a welcome item and so useful for many things. I look forward to seeing more exciting creations this year. Thank you Becca.
Happy New Year and a safe and creative 2014. Love your inspirational cards
Yep, I am a subscriber to your email. I love your blog and I really, really want to win but even if I don’t I feel like a winner every time I marvel at your creations. Thank you for offering such a wonderful gift.
PS – another word for the year – “complete” I want to complete items I have started.
ths is my first time on your blog….will endeavor to continue from now
on. Love all your designs, stamps and IDEAS for seasonal and
non-seasonal cards…it just doesn’t end. Do you take Creative Vitamins
and how many per hour
God Bless you r e a l Good!
joyce
I subscribe to your blog and love seeing all your beautiful cards! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us and Happy New Year to you and yours.
So excited to see the new Spellbinders dies and your beautiful creative work!!!!! Hope your Christmas was filled with blessings, and your New Year’s full of hope for the future! Take care!!!!!! Kathy
Thanks for the chance to win a great set of plastic cases, storage is always a challenge for me. My word for 2014 is pray as i hope to bring things to the Lord more in 2014.
My word has to be serenity. I hope everyone takes time to sit back and reflect on last year and find ways to improve your life for this year -no matter what your goals are. Love this blog and the inspiration.
My day two word is organized. I see there are others who mention this, so it seems I’m not alone in this quest. Thank you again so much for the opportunity to win such fabulous prizes AND getting to see your beautiful work.
Stamp! Love your blog!
Wow—it would be awesome to win the Artisian Explorer! And the clear cases are awesome too!!!! My word would be ‘consistently’. You continually come out with consistently high quality beautiful cards. Gives me the motivation to ensure that I do the same! I look forward to your emails every day! Thanks so much!
Diversify is my word. I need to pluck up the nerve to try new things! Thank you for the chance to win the plastic cases. Your creativity continues to impress and I love coming to your blog to see what next you have done to inspire
Happy New Year, Becca! I have learned so much from you this year and I am very grateful, so my word would have to be Grateful. Thank you so much for all you provide.
Giving & receiving. I live very close to Billy Graham who I have admired all my life and he is the one that inspired these words. He says we are given 2 hands. one is for giving and the other is for receiving. I hope to be giving more than receiving this year. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Movement………
Thank you for the opportunity
You are a sweetheart Becca! I am just glad to have found you to follow you. My sympathy card to a family losing a baby on the 30th is from your design for the hinged card – not to your standards of perfection – but they will be blessed…. Thank you so much for your help!
Won’t let me add an additional comment…..so likely this will not be seen either…lol
Today’s word will have to be ‘downsize!’ I’ve been thinking about it for long enough, time to get started. It’s going to be a slow process and a hard one, too. I’m not exactly a hoarder but I always think I’ll have a use for ‘that, some day.’ This makes it doubly hard to get rid of, even when it has very little monetary value. I will be working to diminish that trait with every movement. Your add on clear cases will be a wonderful blog candy for some fortunate soul. Thanks for the chance of possibly winning…they would help in the organization of my stamp room, for sure!
LOVE THE IDEA OF A GIVEAWAY!
Happy New Year Becca. What a great way of starting the new year. You are so generous with your blog candy and sharing your beautiful cards with us. I enjoy seeing your creations (I’m an e-mail subscriber) and how you use the Spellbinders dies. I also love your tutorials. I didn’t have a word for the new year, but as I was reading another blog, she was using BALANCE as her word, and I thought that would work for me. I need to work on balancing my time, so I can be a better mother, wife, friend and crafter… so that’s what I’d pick for today. :)
Sharing is another word I will be using. I help out at an elderly card making class and am going to take a lot of my craft stash to share with them over the year.
Becca, you are sooo inspirational. When I need a quick card for a wedding or birthday or whatever the occasion and I’m stumped, your website is my go to for inspiration. I can always count on getting an idea from your gorgeous creations to pull something together quickly whether it be the colors you used, the combination of the dies or a bow of yours, you’ve never failed me yet. Thanks so much.
My first word for 2014 would have to be health. I just went through a uterine cancer scare and had surgery. I got a speech about weight and death statistics of women that scared the ba-jeebers out of me and I have been eating much healthier lately. After I am healed from surgery, maybe in a month, I plan on starting a walking routine…..so “health” would be a good word to start with. God Bless and Happy New Year!
Wow! Here is my post. Love the beautiful cards you continue to share. My “word” continues to be blessed. By God, family, and friends.
Oh My Word, what a wonderful blog candy…..YIKES! One WORD for 2014 would be grateful…..I am going to be more grateful for all I have, family, friends, career, etc……I am Blessed in so many ways and I think I will be more grateful to anyone involved in my blessings. Thank you for the opportunity to have a chance to win this wonderful machine!
Becca, love your cards and ideas. I really need to get my dies storage sorted out before I end up ruining them and would love to win the cases. My word would be “Storage” Thank you for your generosity. Happy New Year!
LOVE THOSE CLEAR CASES FOR STORAGE!
Creativity is my word!
My word for day two is motivate…I am getting older and finding it harder to motivate myself each day…I need to do this not only for myself but for others…to be an inspiration to others
My word is intentional. My efforts this year for Operation Write Home for our troops will definitely use your ideas to give card making my all for those who give their all for us. Thanks for all the inspiration you offer.
WOW, not only a creator of beautiful things you have a big beautiful heart!!!
my second word is SHARE as i make cards for soldiers and have thus far made 7,000. that’s right, 7,000. i work with a huge church right now (other churches and people before) which sends 2,000 packages each christmas to the troops and my cards go too. some of the cards are just paper that is embossed and the parishoners write on them and they go with the gifts. the majority of the cards have been made so that the soldiers can send them home to their families. emails are great, but to have a card that your loved one signed and wrote on can go under you pillow at night. so i pray over each batch of cards and ask God to bring the person home to the person who received the card. i have been doing this for about 7 years and spend about 20 hours (or more ) a week making my cards. people have donated used cards to me and i cut them up to repurpose them and i also start from scratch. i am always garage sale-ing looking for good deals as i pay for all supplies. thank goodness i am not paying for postage. so, dear becca, my first word was THANKFUL as i am thankful that i am able to do this and i certainley do SHARE as this is my small way to give back as i have been blessed. i have worn out one cuttlebug and am well on my way to finishing off the second. this machine would be awesome to have, but win or not the cards will be made until the soldiers come home. at that point i will go back to making cards for senior citizens in low income housing as they love to give and receive cards; i just won’t have to make so many.
happy new year to you all. we are all so fortunate to have found our passion and to know that our gifts made with love might make a difference to someone. i have decided that card makers are God’s little messengers to help brighten someone’s day. sincerely, sharon dymerski
I have been an e-mail follower for a LONG TIME — your “work” continues to blow me away!! “Surgery” is my first word for 2014….probably gonna have to have some knee surgery in the next few weeks…..
I am an email subscriber ever since I discovered your beautiful creations. I have made many of the cards, and note cards and boxes because of you sharing your tutorials, thank you. Since Im a visual learner this has helped me to be able to create a lot easier. My word for today is Discover, discover something new and try it.
Just want to say thank you for producing such Amazing cards. You encourage us all to achieve the same level of cards as you. It must make your heart feel good to know how much we admire you. Thank you again, and your prizes are amazing also.
Becca, thanks so much for the chance to win even more goodies. that is so generous of you. Hope you had a great New Year as well.
Becca my above post was for the add on #1. I think, if I understood correctly we could add a comment each day and the add on was extra, if Im wrong please feel free to either delete this or email to let me know. I will stay with my word today which is Discover, yesterdays was Organize. I want to do
both. I need to try more techniques to discover what I truly love doing more of.
Am excited about your upcoming posts, know each one will be fantastic.
Thankful…a reminder to be thankful for our blessings..
My word is POSITIVE. In 2014 I want to Have a Positive Outlook on Life, Work with a Positive Attitude, Live with a Positive Spirit, Have a Positive Heart and Think Positive Thoughts of Everyone.
My word is FAMILY. I plan to spend more time with family in 2014. LOVE the “candy”!!
So glad I am a long time subscriber :) Boy when you do a give away, you don’t mess around :) Thanks for the chance to win even more.
Love the blog candy, but love your works of art more! They are truly inspiring.
The layers remind me of how complicated we ourselves are with layers of responsibility and obligations and deadlines, yet despite all of the aforementioned we etch out time to create something beautiful and take the time to share it with others. Again my word for this year is fruition.
Just watch me GROW!
Trust… Something I need to work on and others need to earn. Thanks for sharing yours.
I’m definitely a subscriber and have been for a while … LOVE the inspiration I get from seeing your lovely creations! I would say my word is DETERMINATION to spend more time enjoying this wonderful hobby (cardmaking) and learning new techniques.
Thanks again for the blog candy, Becca!
Oh my how generous of you to be giving away such goodies!! My die cutting machine is on it’s last leg-how I wish to be so lucky. Thank you for your continued inspirations. I love all your work-so much so, that I’ve recommended your blog to several paper crafting friends. Have a great new year and keep on crafting!!!
My word is “declutter” ! both my life and my surroundings. I have begun. :) and feel so much lighter in spirit already.
HAPPY NEW YEAR BECCA!!! Productive, I plan to be more productive in my paper crafts this year, I need to spend more time enjoying my great hobby(card making and scrapbooking).
Faith – is confidence in things hoped for and the assurance of things not seen. Becca thank you for your spirit and that share your gifts with other.
Mending bridges with family…………..try to reach out to relatives and mend a few bridges.

Becca, your blog is amazing with ideas. I love your creations so much many I can not case because I don’t have the many of the dies that you use. My budget will not let me purchase many of them. But I so much enjoy what you do.
Thanks for a chance at the give away.
God’s blessing on you this year of 2014.
Thank you for keeping us inspired. One word I hope to strive for in 2014 is patience, sometimes I feel I have so much to do that I forget that I can wait.
Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and your loved ones. I love your work. It gives me so much inspiration.
My word would be LEARN.
May it be a new skill or simply ability to love.
I have enjoyed you creativity and have been inspired by you. My word for 2014 today is SHARE Thanks and God Bless Jean
Good afternoon everyone! Hope your day is going well and that you are not in an area where it’s cold and snowy! My word for the day is “encourage” because we all need encouragement every day. Good friends have been a source of encouragement for me and have helped me through many difficult times. I hope you all have a special friend who will come to your aid and provide encouragement when needed. Happy New Year!
I try to look often but I am recovering from very intensive back surgery and I go back in for more the middle of January. I really enjoy all your beautiful work. I hope you have a wonderful new year and I want to thank you for being honest about your faith and keeping your work done in the same way. I am new at all this and this truly is my favorite site. I know I won’t win anything but I and glad I could share my feeling with you. Keep up the great work. Linda
Hi Becca,
looking forward to seeing what you have to share in the year ahead!! I am always inspired by your creations and love the fact that I’m emailed of any new posts although I must admit sometimes I still check in just in case somehow I’ve missed an email I wouldn’t want to miss any of your wonderful work!! May God continue to bless you as we head into another exciting year :)
Hi Becca – I must’ve pinned all of your cards to my boards in Pinterest. God bless your talent, and thank you so much for sharing it with us! My word for 2014 is PATIENCE…I need to remind myself that I need to be patient and have faith in Him, that all things are possible and will come in due time.
Happy New Year 2014! May this new year be filled with blessings that runneth over. ~Evie
Caring is my word, because you are a caring person Becca.
Along with my first word (GRATITUDE), I plan to do more SHARING/GIVING this year, whether it be a crafted item for someone, a card, or simply time to listen to whatever one has to say. Just being a good listener and sharing time with someone is the best gift of all and I think it’s appreciated more than most of us ever realize! Maybe I’ll even be a better sharer when I visit blogs and leave a comment, just to let that person know I appreciate their talents (something I don’t do often enough here)!!!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and for showing that God is first in your life. I look forward to each day to see what you came up with next. I hope to some day be a little bit as good as you are. I am new at this so I have a long way to go. Happy New Year. Linda
wow super wow I love everything you make and love spellbinders thanks for the chance to win
Hi,
All I can say is Blessed, yes you are!!! Tahnks for all you do and who you are!!!
Hi,
All I can say is Blessed, yes you are!!! Thanks for all you do and who you are!!!
Thinking of another word for 2014, I’ll choose “teachable”. I want to continue learning, about card-making skills of course, but definitely more about God’s love for each one of us and how to show his love in my relationships with others.
I love getting your emails and checking out what you have new on your blog. You are a great inspiration.
A word for the new year for me is focus.
My word for today is ‘healthy’. I want to stay on my healthy journey I’ve started.
Great add-on, especially since I am cleaning up my craft room and finding room for my new stamps. I have been an e-mail subscriber for years and would love to win!
WOW, the candy add on #1 is great. Hope I’m one of the lucky winners. I love to read and see your blog as they come in. Always a great inspiration. Keep them coming. Edna B.
I think my word for the day today is study. I need to study Gods word more. I learn so much from His word. I hope I can keep it in my heart and be able to pull it out of my head when I need it this way. Thanks so much for sharing more candy with us. I started back on a weight loss plan today go figure! Blessings, Lisa
Thank you, again, for this chance of acquiring the Artisan X-plorer. It’s a wonderful machine to dream about!
The second word on my list for 2014 is PATIENCE. I am a senior caregiver and I have two grumpy clients. They require PATIENCE on my part in order to provide the best care possible. After work (or between jobs) I return home to check on MY very NOT grumpy elderly parents! We live together and sometimes I run a little low in the PATIENCE department-especially as I see my parents lose more and more mental capabilities and memory capacity. But God is good and faithful and will help me enjoy where I am.
Thanks again for giving us fun things to learn about.
Tish
That would be a dream. I always admire your cards through your RSS Thank you for a chance to win. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2014
What a great add-on. I am always organizing.
love the artistic ways you can make a piece of paper an awe inspiring work of art. my word for 2014 is Faith. where would we be without it.
My second word to put into action in 2014 is Grateful. At the end of the day, I want to mentally list at least one person, action, or incident for which I am grateful; a neighbor who helped get the lawn edger running again, an unplanned bill with a smaller balance than anticipated; daylight a bit longer each day in advance of Spring and Summer.
Thank you for being so generous with your beautiful creations and now this wonderful blog candy!
My word for the new year is THANKFULNESS. I want to be truly thankful for the many blessings in my life. I believe we would experience more joy in our lives if we really counted our blessings and thanked the Lord for what He has done for us.
Looking forward to following your blog in the new year 2014!!!
Hello
I am a long time subscriber. My word for 2014 is present, as in live in the present moment.
thank you
kelly
Whoops, forgot to enter my word for today and it’s THANKFUL! And I am for a loving and understanding husband, great kids, grandkids and friends. And the time to enjoy my card making hobby and watch all the card ideas from great artists like you. Edna B.
After PURGE, my second word for 2014 is ORGANIZE. How did you know?
You, my dear, are amazing!
Thank you for all the work and labor you put into our posts. I have learned a lot from you, especially in taking my cards that extra step from plain to fancy. They are no where near like yours, but I am learning. The word for 2014 for me would have to be LISTEN. Not only with my ears, but with my heart, and try to understand what is not being said, also. This is so important as a mother and pastor’s wife!
Hi Becca
Happy New Year and health for 2014.Love your blog and I am a subscriber via e-mail, I don’t leave messages often but love all the beautiful cards you create you get my juices going to make cards. My hope for this year is to get all I want to make done.
My word for today is GRATEFUL for everything.
What a nice way to begin the New Year! I already have the Artisan Explore machine, but sure could use those cases, I love them. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Have a great 2014!!
My word for today is PRACTICE. I look at all your amazing cards and know that the only way to accomplish that is to practice putting together my cards in such a wonderful way.
You are inspirational!
My 2014 word is Hand written correspondence. It is becoming a lost art.
Happy New Year Becca & Blog Friends! My word for the year is ‘patience’ as I work through all the challenges that lie ahead of me this year. Fortunately the inspiration that you give through APG helps with this patience at home. Cheers.
my word for 2014 is HAND written correspondence. It is becoming a lost art.
Wow! I love these cases! My craft goal for 2014 is to get everything conveniently organized so that everything gets used or given away!
What a generous lady you are with all the beautiful creations you share, lovely blog candy and this is such a great gadget. I’ve seen this in action and have been tempted to get one, but I have a Grand C and a Cuttlebug, so have resisted so far,thanks for the chance of winning. My words if I can choose more than for 2014 are “Footsteps”, Grateful and Hope. My daughter survived a brain injury last spring and is slowly improving since she came home in July. Every day is a blessing to have her still with us. Faith and prayer has helped us through and the lovely positive messages I find visiting your blog have been a comfort. Thanks Becca. Happy New Year
WOW you are so generous!!! I love those storage containers, there the best. Thank you for the chance to win.
Today’s word is ‘forgiveness’, especially since my wonderful husband who went to hang my new custom made/painted bulletin board in my craft room, drilled a small hole right thru the frame when he went to put the hanger on the back, I know it’s minor but hurt my feelings cause I’m so proud of my bulletin board.
Excercise: I plan to get in more excercise this year.
My next word is ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE. Have too much and don’t use it all. Have this need inside me to buy things. Hopefully I will be much better in 2014. I have very good intentions!!
ORGANIZE…or at least continue with what I start in 2013. Happy New Year and thank you for your wonderful ideas and designs.
Guess my word for today would be determination. I am determined to get things done that I have been putting off for a while. Love your blog and look forward to the cards you post.
I’ve been a subscriber for a while and love your work and organization ideas. One of my words for the year is Encourage. I want the cards I make to be an encouragement to others. Your work is beautiful and an inspiration to me!
I love your blog and your amazing cards. I would love to win the clear cases. Thank you for the chance to win.
Each day, I go through the links of card makers to get new ideas and continue to be inspired. My plans this years is possibly retire to spend more time with my Spellbinder dies to create more projects to be posted on challenges and have friends over to keep them motivated as well to make more cards and scrapbooking pages with Spellbinder dies and Heartfelt Creation stamps that coordinate with these dies.
Today’s word is positive. I definitely need to have more positive thoughts.
INSPIRATION! I have been following your blog for several years now, Becca by email and now Pinterest. Thank you for all of your beautiful creations and your inspiring designs.
Hi Becca! Happy New Year!! My 2014 be a healthy, happy year for you! I always love your creations. Even “AWESOME” doesn’t adequately describe your projects! My word is “create”. I hope to be able to do much more of it this year!
Becca Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us all. Love your blog! My word is “change”, I’ve gotten into a rut in my crafts and my life. Looking to change that.
My word for today is organized… I hope to do a better job in 2014! Thank you for the chance to win some fabulous blog candy!
What a great prize. May word for this year is opportunity. I plan on taking every opportunity that arises to spend time creating in my craft room. I have cancer that can only be treated but not cured so these opportunities may be limited.
ever since I found your web site I have love your cards and work I also was with you in kindness when you lose your wonderful husband and to how you handled with such great courage word today is keep your courage
Hi Becca,
Had computer issues and this is the first time in about a couple of weeks that I have been able to get on-line. I have been with you for many years now, and love your blog. I share your love of Spellbinders as well, but, for some reason I just haven’t gotten around to the artisian x-plorer yet, I love it’s capabilities, but am not into jewelry so I guess I have not in my mind been able to justify purchasing this just for card making. Would love to have one just the same. Who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky and win one. Can’t wait to see what’s coming out from spellbinders at CHA.
Hugs,
Marcie
The word for today is hope. To believe in hope and that a better tomorrow awaits us.
Hi Becca, I have really enjoyed your work over the last three years. You are an inspiration to me. Keep doing the things you love and blessing people like you do. When prayers go up blessings come down. My word is believe, you can do all things……
My 2014 word for today is “innovative”. I want to really stretch myself this year and think out of the box – come up with crazy ways to utilize those 200+ Spellbinders dies!
To be more productive! I have so many things started or want to work on and just need to work on them! Love your blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!
My word for today is TECHNIQUES. I want to try lots of new techniques in my card-making this year!
My word for today would have to be LOVE, to show more love to people and I hope to get more Love back from others.
Becca, thanks for the excitement for the New Year, I definitely love the add-on. I love to win the add-on that my dies will be better organized. My second word for the year is “blessed’ While the Christmas was just passed, how much it reminds me that how blessed we are by His love.
My word for today attentive. I want to pay attention to what God is showing me and for the beauty around me as inspiration.
Blessing.

Becca I rarely comment on your blog because most people have already said what I would like to say however you can never have too many thanks so again thank you for just being you…I would like to think more in the terms of helping those less fortunate than myself and if I can help just one person then it is one less unfortunate person…good health and happiness always Becca and take care!
Wow!!! Becca this is amazing! What a giveway!! I love your blog and your work is “Amazing’, Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Becca.. Happy New Year…
I have been following your blog for more than a year & I always look forward to your new creations.. They are so fresh, elegant & inspire me with new ideas for using my dies & other supplies..
My most used word would definitely be ‘Crafting’ :)
Health is my word for today, we are praying for my husband’s. thanks for all the beautiful work you do
Hi Becca
Today’s word is PEACE- I would wish for a world that only knows peace and love. No jealousy, greed, war or hatred. It might sound boring to some but would sure like to try it.
I love the cards that you make. I never miss checking out your blog and I subscribe to your YouTube channel. I have several Spellbinder dies and I absolutely love them – especially the Majestic ones!
The first word that comes to mind that I must learn to use is NO and sometimes put me first.
My second word is SHARE. Share my love of crafting by teaching and setting up a library of my dies for borrowing. I’ve made my binder (5 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches) with a sample of each of my embossing folders with the code that appears on each folder to loan to crafters. I have 2 photo boxes of folders. My older computer has been kept to set up in the senior craft center to look up tutorials on the internet.
Love your cards Becca! Great give-always too!
Wow! Great candy – no calories! Thank you Becca for sharing with your fans!
My word for 2014 is “ACTION”. I need so much more action in my life…such as up & at it type action. Just get it done! Get going! lol
I have been a subscriber to your blog for a couple of years and love your creations. You are so talented and very generous to share these giveaways and also sharing the inspiration on your blog.
My word today is “Crafty”. I love doing crafts, especially card-making and scrapbooking.
My word today is patience. God did not give me much of it!
Ok today’s word for me is to simplify! And the plastic boxes will help.
I’ve been on your email list a long time! One word – paper – I want to spend more time making things out of all the paper I have accumulated, and I am sure I will find more paper along the way!
I have followed you for several years now and find your work to be exceptional and very much like my own taste. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your candy treats! My word for 2014 is hope for several reasonsl; hope to get organized and continued hope for my son who was in an auto accident this past year. I look forward to sharing in another year of your lovely creations. May 2014 be healthy, happy, and successful!!
The word for today for me is LISTEN. Actually, listen to all sides before formulating an opinion. Don’t jump to conclusions quickly.
Hi Becca – I am back for a second comment in the hopes I may get one of the add-ons – love the look of the first add-on as storage is a big issue for me, especially now my dies are getting up in number.
I love visiting your blog, although I do not comment often, and I am inspired by you and your attitude to life – you are a blessing
Maxine
What a champion you are! Running the race with endurance and grace …creating beautiful paper crafts to awe and challenge us, and writing meaningful blogs to encourage us forward. My word for 2014 is embrace. I desire to more fully embrace the person God created me to be and the creative gifts He has so graciously endowed me with.
I want to be able to do the things in my mind so my word would be CREATE. There are other words which I need to do first but to create is my goal.
Can’t seem to get a comment on today’s post (Jan. 2nd) so I hope this counts. Your blog is so inspirational Becca! Thank you for sharing your talents! Here’s my word for the day, Inspiration! Which is what you give away! Thank You!
I love those plastic storage boxes. They have really helped me get organized which is my word for the day!.
My next word for 2014 is love. I hope to show more and receive more this year.
“Purge” is my word for the day…purge myself of all the things that reside in my house that should not be here. This, of course, does not include any card-making supplies!
Becca, Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your Blog Candy!
I choose the word AMAZING! It describes the type of year I’m expecting 2014 to be. I anticipate AMAZING experiences from creating AMAZING cards to meeting AMAZING people, and visiting AMAZING places. Happy New Year and I look forward to viewing more of your AMAZING projects!
My word for today is “motivation”. The holidays are over, and it’s time to get busy. Nothing is more motivating than seeing your beautiful creations, Becca. Happy New Year to you and to all your followers.
My word for this Jan 2014 is to take time for setting my heart and mind right to be able to SHARE. I have found if my mind has been has been prepared, I can start to have good ideas to share. With good ideas my work will make someone happy. And that is my purpose.
What a great add on giveaway–like many others It’s something I could really use. Thanks for all you do.
My word for today is ‘don’tbeatmyselfup’ !
Meaning, since I have bought all this crafting stuff, I feel guilty if I’m not
in there producing something great every minute. I just need to stop buying and use what I have for awhile and just enjoy myself.
I’m getting older and about had a meltdown getting ready for Christmas.
I wanted to make all my Christmas cards, make a wreath, paint a wood
decoration, do homemade gifts, make 3d gifts for 28 club friends, make
little gifts for my neightbors,
Plus all the other usual things that women have
to do–the house decorating, the tree decorating, the gift buyiing, the wrapping, the cooking of the goodies everyone expects for Christmas, the house cleaning. the Christmas dinner and on and on—-. My husband
puts up the tree and then he’s done. does this sound familiar to anyone else???
Well I got everything done but the Christmas cards and the wreath.and when I went to do them–I just couldn’t handle it this year, something had to give, either them or me, I was so stressed out.
So therefore ‘don’tbeatmyselfup’ I just have to realize I can’t do it all anymore and
I really don’t have to ! :)
Love this add on giveaway. Because you introduced these cases to us, my die storage is so much easier to manage and to see what I have. My word for today is organization which these cases would help me do with my stamps as well as the dies. Thanks for the great inspiration you give.
My word for today is HELPFUL…I hope to be more helpful for my husband during the next year….
What a fun Giveaway Becca!!
Hi Becca: I am a subscriber to your blog, and I am so glad that I found your blog. Your cards and videos are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your many talents. My word for today is “acceptance.” 2013 was a challenging year for me, and I am trying to accept the things that I cannot change. Being a child of God does help me accept the many challenges in my life. Thank you for offering this amazing give away. Happy New Year!!!
My word amazing. Your site is amazing, thanks for everything you us.
Becca. Yesterday my word was love. Spreading love to others via my cards. Today it is gratitude. Gratitude for all the blessings I see around me everyday as I view crafters give of their time and talents for their subscribers and viewers.
Oh Becca, I’ve been a subscriber for years. How can I resist the beauty you create every day. My word for today is “organize.” I want to organize my artistic creativity in my studio and basement. Somehow I think you have that in the bag.
Oh Becca, I have been an email subscriber for years. Always so happy when you have a post. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win the add-ons as I am from Canada and won’t be able to win the main prize. Anything would be awesome
Oh Becca! More “candy” is right! I use these cases and am in need of more to house new dies I purchased just before the Holidays. My word today is PEACE. I chose ORGANIZE yesterday and I reolized that PEACE will only come once ORGANIZATION is achieved.
My word today is “INSPIRATION” because you provide thousands of us with inspiration with every post you make to your wonderful blog. Thanks to you I should buy stock in Spellbinders dies! I think I could be very inspired if I won your blog candy. Thanks for the chance to win a prize!
Day 2 word is FAMILY – this relates again to losing my Dad this summer Losing someone makes you realize how precious the time you have with family really is. It’s easy to get caught up in life and not spend time with those who are special to you. My own health challenges kept me from visiting my Dad as often as I wanted. It was a long flight and I was sick so much of the time but I regret that I didn’t do it anyvway. I would give anything for a few more minutes with my Dad. My plans for this year are to move forward in life and truly enjoy my family.
Th you, Becca, for all your inspiration and the add on will help finish a reorganization project I am in the middle of. God Bless you!
I forgot to add that I am an email subscriber and love getting updates about your posts. I mark each of them I can find them easily.
Your post are always excellent as are your cards. Thankful is my word. For each day, for family and friends and for the people that take time to post for others to enjoy.
Dear Becca, I have been an email follower/subscriber of yours for awhile now and I am so inspired by your beautiful creations! Not only do I come here for crafting ideas (I LOVE Spellbinders!) but I also love reading a blog written by a sincere woman of God since He is the reason that I am able to create in the first place. Thank you for the blog candy opportunity but also for making me really think about what I’d like 2014 to be all about for me.
2013 was a really terrible and heart breaking year for me. I’ve had very serious health problems, family drama, and lost my Mom a couple of months ago. I hit rock bottom in so many ways but in the end I knew this was the way back to The Lord and it has taught me that although He doesn’t want us to hurt and be in pain, He just wants us to rely on Him and Him alone. So in the middle of my deep despair, I gave all of my troubles up to him and for the first time I have felt peace. So that is one of my words for 2014 – peace! Now believe me when I say that this is an ongoing process and I do have those days when I’m sad but God isn’t finished with me yet! I even crafted for the first time since Mom’s passing just a week ago and it just happens to be a Christmas card that was inspired by one of yours! And with all the bad came something directly from above – I became a grandmother last year! Now that I can feel the peace in my soul that God has graced me with, I can also know how blessed I really am. The closer I feel to my Lord, the more peace I feel in my soul. That is what I want this year. That and building upon my relationship with my grandson as he grows. Yes, peace is my goal!
Thank you for letting my share this with you!
Angie
Wow Becca, not only do you have gorgeous inspiration every day but such generosity with a wonderful giveaway. Being OS, the clear cases are a great consolation prize : )
I follow you via email, Pinterest and Youtube….don’t want to miss any of your beautiful inspiration.
ORGANISATION is my word for the day……my craft room is a mess!!
Wow. After reading all of these wonderful posts…my word for January 2nd is amazing. What an amazing community of people sharing their thoughts, beliefs, hopes and wishes. It’s amazing that you have brought them all together at this time and place. It’s a powerful witness to all the good that you do. Thanks for inviting us in…
My Day #2 word is PURGE…I’m a packrat.
Hello, Becca! I’d like to win your lottery – useful stamps in plastic containers is a wonderful thing! Thank you so much for the chance!
Oh my gosh, more cool stuff! My next word for next year is: respect. Thank you so much, Becca!
My second word is STRETCH! I’m going to stretch my abilities and learn new things this year!
Hi, I am a new crafter. I have to say my word for 2014 is THANKFUL. I’ve been searching the net for inspirational sites for a few months now and somehow I keep being directed to “Amazing Paper Grace”, and I always find something wonderful. Be Blessed.
Mount Rushmore
Hi Becca, I think my word today would be RESOLUTION. I resolve to learn to make the elegant beautiful cards you show us. I am slowly gathering dies but always seem to be missing the ones for the cards. I will get there. Thank you for the chance to win.
Becca,
My second word for the year that I am gonna try to make have a meaning in my life is “love” I want to show my family more love than I have before. I want us to grow closer together this year. I have the most wonderful husband in the whole world and the best son. But, mostly, I have the best Lord and Savior in the Universe! Thanks for another chance to win.
My word for today is INSPIRE, I truly want
to inspire others, not just with our crafts but
through my actions and thoughts, to be better and do
better.
Hallo Becca, hier een berichtje uit The Netherlands. Ik kijk dagelijks uit naar jouw gesproken woord en hand gemaakte creaties. Ik geniet van beide. Je bent een groot voorbeeld voor me, ik “leen” daarom nog wel eens wat van je. Liefs Conny van Bruggen
Persistence. Not fancy but sometimes it’s the only way to make it through to you
I love you blog and your ideas! I follow avery single post. You are a good inspiration for me! Can’t wait your 2014 post!
African blessings for a wonderful and blessed 2014!
Thanks for keeping us inspired around the world. I would say:
Being TRUE to myself!
What a fabulous giveaway Becca – this would be an amazing giveaway to receive. I was fortunate to receive one of your kits when you did them and still use the dies and stamps I love them so much.xxxx
Hi Becca, my word for today is “scraplift”. I do lots of scrapbooking and will start using some of your card making ideas and techniques on my scrapbook layouts.
Another word that will figure prominently in my plans for 2014 for me would have to be SPELLBINDERS!!!!!!
I often go to bed at night and think about the cards I could make with a die I have purchased, and plan them in my minds-eye. Sadly many don’t get made, due to lack of time… but Oh I do enjoy thinking about what I could create.
Today’s word is thankful. That’s what I want to be this year. Even in bad times, I have alot for which I can be thankful. I want to remember this and be more.
You are so generous Becca, the way you share so much and it is encouraging and keeps us all motivated. Thank you so much.
My word for 2014 is FOCUS as I need to be more focused in all things.
Bless you.
You really are a most generous person. That’s quite apart from being so enviously talented! Thank you Becca
Morning Becca, I have enjoyed your work for about a year now, since Sue Wilson gave us your web address – looking forward to another year of being wowed and inspired. My word to remember is ‘organize’ – it makes crafty life so much easier! Happy New Year to you and everyone here.
My word for 2014 is Time – to use it wisely and to make more of it for the most important things in life – my children.
I’m sorry I won’t be in with a chance for the storage cases as have only just subscribed by email. I have been a subscriber on YouTube and Pinterest for some time but have just stopped by the blog daily instead of subscribing by email. Never mind, your inspiration is why I visit, not the candy – can’t wait for the new Spellbinders release! Have a wonderful 2014.x
My next word for 2014 is JOY. I’ve found the creating projects bring me joy and sending them out brings others joy. Crafting keeps me in the now and being able to access moments of joy regularly is beneficial for overall wellbeing.
After a year of challenging health issues, I would have to say Faith is my word for 2014. I am also very thankful I had my crafts to keep my mind off things on some very difficult days. Praying everyone has a blessed 2014!
My next word would be…. relax. I am going to try to relax the thought process that everything has to be perfect, because it never is and the stress of perfectionism is cutting into my crafting time.
Wow! never mind the give away I LOVE all your work and have been following you since you started. Thank you so much for all the encouragement and inspiration you have given over the years – even when you had your own troubles to face. So once again thank you. God Bless and keep you safe.
Suezanne

share

share my talent
share the love
Organize! That’s my New Years resolution to get rid of some of the clutter & organize my crafting supplies.
You are such an inspiration Becca & I love all of your posts.
The first words which come to mind when I visit your blog are “Oh, wow!”
Every time!
Thank you for this website and sharing your wonderful cards and projects with everyone. My word for this year and today is THANKFUL. I want to remember to be thankful for all the things God has blessed my life with and know He has a good plan for my future and is directing my steps one day at a time.
Basics-I want to work on simplifying my life. So purging the old to make room in my life for whatever God wants to send. A de-cluttering of the soul and my life.
My word would be HEALTH.After a few years of different family members suffering ill-health, two of which sadly passed away, I wish everyone to stay healthy during 2014
My third word would be: Savvy. Be savvy about my finances, my life choices, and more important my actions and WORDS.
I gave you LOVE as my word and another great word is SMILE. It lights up a room, cheers people up, and I hope the cards I send bring a smile to the recipients. You dear Becca bring many a smile and sometimes a tear with your blogs which I so look forward to reading. Again thank you.
Thanks Becca! My one word for 2014 is BELIEVE I want to believe in myself more this year. With God everything is possible.!
Hi Becca
Happy New Year
I have always loved reading your blog you are such an inspiration to us all. Your beautiful creations give me the hope that one day I will be able to craft like you. Thank you for your fabulous blog that gives so many of us that creative urg to create something wonderful.

Rizwana

Thanks,My word for the day is peaceful,as I want to be in a peaceful state.
Blessings Jocelan
“Kindness”….it is like a gentle hug without the touch.
My word for the day is “JOY”…. what a joy it is to see your creations that gives everyone inspiration to create their cards. You will never know the impact that you have with on people when you share your talent so that they can be inspired. Thanks again for what you are offering in your blog candy.
KINDNESS
My word today is HAPPY. Life is way too short not to be happy. Thanks for all of your creative ideas and for sharing them with all of us. Have a wonderful day.
Organize- it starts with my thoughts. I need to write some specifics down to help me focus on what needs attention now and make a list (lists are a big help to me) of the different things I want to work this this year that will help me make this word a real part of my life.
Today my word is GRATITUDE. I thank God for all He has given me… my family, friends, and earthly needs. I have gratitude for the opportunities I am given and for those that allow me to help others. I have friends who have mentioned that they save my cards to re-read again when they are troubled. Thank you, Becca, for such inspiration, both through your creativity and friendship to all. You are a special person. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to receive the gifts you are offering!
Thanks for the opportunity to win! My word for today is stability. I will work toward restoring stability to my life and the lives of my two adult children. We’ve undergone a family “shake up” and some sense of stability will do everyone some good.
Regards,
Thankful.
WOW…I’d love to win this and start my New Year with more CREATIVITY. That is one of my many words/goals for this New Year. I plan to be much more Creative and looking forward to it.
you are such an inspiration Becca. thanks for all your beautiful words and work. thanks also for the opportunity to win this awesome machine .
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful cards.
My word for today is complete.
Word for today is inspire. Becca, you inspire me to think outside of the box and look at what I have around me, both from a crafting standpoint and personally.
Another word for the New year is Thankfulness. I want each day to try to think of one thing I am thankful for in the day. I have seen and heard too many complainers, and yes, I tend to too, but I want to be more conscious of being thankful. So I will start right now for today by being thankful for the blogs such as yours that I can follow and get inspiration from. Thankful for your time and for the giveaway you are doing. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
Thank you for continuing to share your creativity, enthusiasm, and talent with us! It is so inspiring. My word for today and for 2014 is wellness. Wellness in spirit, mind, body, and attitudes!
Blessings to everyone for a happy and healthy new year!
My word for today will be “saving”. Saving time each day to work on a few projects. Saving money by using coupons and paying attention to weekly sales. Saving quality time for each person I love, daily. Thanks again for the chance. Hugs, Becca.
Third word for the year….Happiness! I want to be happy happy happy. I want to let my family know that I am happy they are mine!
Thanks for another chance to win.
Today my word is ‘cherish’. We lost our oldest daughter last year and I am reminded every morning to cherish every person in my life. We never know which day will be our last chance to say ‘I love you’.
Love those cases. I switched over to them when you shared about them.
Acceptance is my word for today.
My third word is RECEIVE. Allow others the blessings from giving and sharing with others.
Today’s word is Live… and enjoy life to the fullest each day!
I’m just blown away by all the generosity. I so love seeing all the cards you make. You are truly inspirational and that’s always enough for me. I wish I could make cards like you. Even though you give step-by-step instructions, I don’t have most of the dies you have and, therefore, can’t make most of the cards you make. Thanks for the chance to win.
my word for today is Thankful! Well, it really is my word every day as I have so much to be Thankful for – now I just need to get organized. It is an ongoing challange.
Love your blog and visit each day
Thankful for your inspirations !!
Gratitude. My word for today. Thankful for all the people and things in my life; Gratitude for people like you who share their creativeness and spark my own.
Becca,
I enjoy your blog so much. I really appreciate how generously you share your talent and inspiration. And now you are sharing goodies! So much fun.
My word for today is THANKFUL! I’m so thankful for you, Becca, and all my cardmaking friends! Love your blog!
I enjoy the positive attitude of your blog as much as the paper crafting content! My word for the new year would be contentment. I realize I have all I need in Christ as my savior. Things, although nice, won’t make me any happier. As a recent comic strip stated “We can’t have everything – where would be put it?”:) Contentment also in seeing my two sons as they have grown up and are forming their own families and I’m so proud of them.
Hi! Word for the day – Cheer – Hoping to spread some cheer in the New Year! Many thanks for an inspirational blog that I look forward to!
My word is balance.
Balance of the “must do” and “want to do” items on my daily to-do list. Balance of studying about my faith and putting what my faith teaches into action on a daily and intentional basis.
Balance of doing for others and doing creatively what fills my heart and spirit with joy so that I, in turn, have more to give back to others.
Balance my use of financial, spiritual, relational, and physical resources.
Balance.
I think my word for today I will barrow from you: funky. Your card shows that something different or “funky” or out of the norm can be used to add charm and bring a smile to brighten someone’s day. Thanks for the reminder that not everything needs to be what is considered beautiful to bring beauty.
Wow! Gorgeous card as always! My word for the day would be action…I want to do more this year!
Today’s word is patience. I always thought I had a lot of it, but I must have used up most of it because I’m running on my reserve supply it seems. So this year will be filled with me TRYING to be more patient.
Thank you Becca for also being an inspiration there as well.
The one word that I most want to put into use for the entire year of 2014 is doing. After several years of demands on my time and resources, I’m finally at a place where I can start doing for others out of desire rather than necessity. My plans include finding practical outlets in my community for my creative energies. I’m looking forward to a fun filled year!
The word for today for me is sharing. I want to share more of my time with others. It seems today’s world is in a mad rush and going in so many different directions we don’t have time to share our time with others. Becca, your creations are always a work of art and I look forward to seeing each and every one of them.
Hi Becca! I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a long time now and I’m constantly amazed by how beautiful your work is. One of my words for 2014 is SUCCEED. No matter if the successes are big or little, I’m still going to celebrate them all. And I’m sure even some of my failures may help me succeed later on. Thanks so much for your inspiration and for the chance to win! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
My word today is serenity. Just sit and be. No worrying about what I have to do, no worrying about what I can’t control. *Being* in my own skin is not so easy sometimes. Just sayin’……
Today I am focused on GRATITUDE. God has been good and continues to be good to me and my family. I am so grateful. (He has provided me with some good papercraft tools also.)
Another word for my New Year is Breathe. Sometimes I need to remember to just breathe.
I think that my great word for today is healthy. I love spending time sitting at my computer, checking out new stamping techniques, various blogs, especially Becca’s, Pinterest, playing a little Words with Friends and reading and replying to my daily e-mails. Computers are one of the greatest inventions, but it’s so easy to get carried away and before you realize it, 2-3-4-5 hours have gone by without moving. My daughter is a personal trainer in CA and today, through Face Time, she is going to start me out with an exercise program, something that I drastically need! Along with exercising on a daily basis, or maybe it will be three times a week, we’ll see what my personal trainer has in store, I will also be changing my diet and choosing healthier foods in an effort to get my body back into shape.
Serenity. After a rough ending to 2013, my family needs some calmness and peace.
Escribo emocionada cada dia, nunca habia hecho esto, tengo ESPERANZA de poder realizar muchas cosas bellas contigo de maestra, definitivamente esa es la palabra ESPERANZA, Gracias por tu aporte
Wasn’t able to post yesterday, sorry! I would have if I didn’t have a memory problem. That’s what I need to improve in 1914, and withy he Lord’s help it may improve. and crafting will help too, at least I think so.
Hi Becca! Thank you for sharing your journey and your incredible talents with us – you are AWESOME. My word for 2014 is “technique”. I want to try new techniques this year. I’ve been making cards for many years, creating from my own inspirations. Now that I am “connected” I LOVE seeing what can be done. Have a blessed day.
Simply living….know 2words. Wishing you the best in the New Year!
Becca,
This is my third entry for the Artisan X-plorer. I think another great word for 2014 for me is going to be POSITIVE! Although I try to live my life with a positive attitude I need to remind myself lately that God is in control and with His strength and love and my positive attitude all things will work out.
Thanks again for your fabulous inspiration and lovely posts.
I would LOVE to win this awesome machine. Please pick me!
My word this time is APPRECIATION. That I should appreciate everything – health, family and friends.
Becca, thank you for all of your inspiring creations over the years. I really appreciate the time & effort it takes to share them with of us.
My word for this year will be “Organize”. A dear friend helped me get the basic bones of my craft room up, now I just need to finish the process. I am always amazed at all the “new” stuff I am finding.
My word is enjoy. Enjoy life, people and every day, and enjoy doing for others.
Happy New Year! Oh I plan to make AMAZING cards this year……..with the inspiration from you! Have a Blessed day!
Hi Becca! My word is Thankful. This time last year I was sick and couldn’t do much of any thing. I am thanking God every day for healing me so that I can create more cards and do more arts and crafts classes at my church and in my community. Thank you for all the beautiful crafts and the inspiration you have given me. Have a wonderful year. Thank you.
My word is prayer. I will be more prayerful during 2014. I am a subscriber and always enjoy your projects, tips and techniques. Happy New Year!!
In keeping with my other words I’d have to say Show More GRATITUDE.
And on that note, thank you Becca for sharing and inspiring us through your most wonderful blog. MWAH.
It is amazing to see now many people miss Becca has touched. She is a very special woman indeed. My word today is patience. I am a very much get it done now person and I really need to be patient with others who do not move at my pace…….
My word is “appreciative” because it is so important never to take things or people for granted in my life.
My word for 2014 will be to ask the Lord to teach to LOVE the unlovable
Blessings Linda (Iowa)
My word this year is encouragement! I want to encourage more people to do what they want to do this year and by sending more cards to let people know they are being thought of!
Today’s one word is…SPECIAL….If you treat each person you meet during the day as if they are special.. it makes their day and your day so much nicer. It takes only a second to say something nice… but yousometimes have to think longer to say something negative. Treat someone special today.
Jennifer
Joy…for all my friends and friends to be.
Hi Becca! On this third day of your blog candy entries, my word is “organize”. I did some reorganizing last year, but I have more to do. I don’t have a very large craft space so I need to make some improvements to how I store and organize my supplies so I can get to them more easily so I will actually USE them. And that puts me back to my second word for the year! LOL!! So much to accomplish! :)
My word is “Gratitude’ because it is very important for all of us to be grateful not only for life but for been able to do the things we love.
Word three: WONDERFUL
I have always loved your style! Thanks for offering this blog candy. I have been a YouTube subbie for a long time and really enjoy your videos.
TFS!
My 3rd word for this year is ACCOMPLISH. I want to take time to finally start some projects that have been in my mind for a while. Even if it´s small I hope and look forward to that more than ever. :) :) :)
Grateful, for all I have

Wow love the spring card you posted! It is so awesome! Love all the add-ons to your give away! Thanks Becca!
I so appreciate your acknowledgement of the words many have left for you in their posts. My word is “model.” May I always model the behavior I would love to see in others; may I be the model my Father in Heaven would have me be.
Another word would be “health.” Both physically and mentally. Thank you for the add on’s. They are wonderful.
Priorities- I need to get my priorities sorted, so I can be more organized (a word I already used I believe). Thanks for chance to win.
My day 3 word is “Opportunity”. I will be looking for more and more ways to share my creativity with others! Thanks for the new add-on – all of the blog candy will be a great boon to my business, organizational sense, and creativity!
Another key word for me in 2014 is “therapy” because that is what card making is to me. I just need more therapy this year! Thanks Becca.

Hi Becca your blog is just fab and l love all your cards, would love these cases just hoping love linda
Being supportive is my choice phrase for 2014. People need support and I want to be someone who offers that supportive comment, etc. to them.
MJ
Hi Becca
Gee, It sure would be great to win some of these cases. I do have some once you shared with us where to get them and they are wonderful. However with all the dies I have, I could use some more in my efforts to organize and declutter( hahhahaha)
My word for today is organize. (I see some others using the same word, so many of us must have the same problem). With a very small house, I need to get organized, and get rid of some of the stuff I don’t use so we will have more room this year!
Organize that is what I need to do. Thanks so much for all of the lovely ideas on your blog.
Hi Becca, this contest is fun. It’s great having more than one chance to win! Another word I have for 2014 is “get going.” I want to finish projects, complete new ones and get more accomplished this year. Thanks for this opportunity to win!
The word for today is, family. :)
Hello and happy new year. Love the inspirational messages and the lovely ideas. Hoping to incorporate some of them this coming year. Cheers!
Heal…
Great Candy Becca! Love the pinterest site.
Your request for a word for 2014 has prompted my brain to really think abiut it. It’s so difficult to come up with a single word to incorporate eveything I hope the year to be. So I’ve decided to play a little game with myself and come up with a positve word for each day! Today’s word for me is carefree… along the same line as your Let Go… shedding the worries and finding the joy. Thanks for another opportunity for some great goodies!
My word for the New Year today would be: STUDY! I need to spend MORE TIME in Studying my Bible! I put Balance the other day; I should have put this FIRST! :) As when I put Studying my Bible first, USUALLY EVERYTHING ELSE falls into place! :) And balance comes! :)
THANKS BECCA for being the generous person you are! :)You add a little sparkle to some of our lives!
Becca, you always make such elegant cards, and I want to do that, too. My third word is ELEGANT.
I am taking inspiration from “Let Go” in posting my third word choice for 2014; “Relax.” It is too easy to have a perpetual To Do List. Drawing creative ideas from Becca’s beautiful card site is far more relaxing than following a To Do List! I will spend more of 2014 focused on creativity as a means of relaxing.
Today’s word is actually an acronym “TGIF” but I refer to it as “Today GOD is first” instead of the usual common thought that comes to mind. It reminds me daily that God is first in all that I do and I keep it by my computer to remind often. Thanks for the opportunity to have a shot at your free offer. Have a good and Godly day Becca, for of what lasting value is a good day if it isn’t also a Godly day. Blessings.
My word for today is confidence. I am going to work on having confidence in myself and what I do. Thanks for all the project that you share.
Linda D.
Happy New Year! Always check in on your blog as often as my time will allow. What wonderful goodies you are sharing with your followers. My word for the New Year is patience. Be patient and wait to learn what God has planned for me!!
Interesting reading the comments here. I think another word should be Prioritize. Often I find myself so behind on important tasks because I am distracted easily. Guess I need to pay more attention. Thanks for such a great blog.
I have been following your blog for several years. I have my mom and sisters hooked on your work. You inspire me with each new piece. I have learned to think outside the box (circle punching with none circle punches) and try to see the potential in a tool.
Becca, I love your the ideas that you have to make such wonderful cards.
thank you for sharing your talent with us everyday.
Hugs
Donna
Hi again Becca – your add #2 is another fabulous gift for us, your international fans. I read your comment about letting go, and in some ways it mirrors my word for this year, which is trust. To trust God that he has the detail of everyday under control, and that He will bring me through it in such a manner as to Glorify His name.
Blessings
Maxine
HOPE !
Everything you do is stunning. By the way you make everything, I can tell you absolutely love creating.
Thank you again Becca for your generosity. I am going to take two words “from you” as your words today really resonate with me. Let go. Way too many times my OCD and worry does not transfer to prayer..duly noted ????, with many thanks!
Healthy is goal for 2014. Love your blog and all the projects you post! Your creativity is amazing. My best to you in 2014.
Spellbinders are my absolute favorite dies. I have a good collection but wished I had more. lol
I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win….
Organization is the big word for me this year. Needing to find a way to store 12×12 paper is my concern. I bought a number of plastic magazine holder boxes, but they are not sturdy enough to hold the paper upright and it sags so it is hard to get to when I need it. I need to find enough 12×12 heavy cardboard boxes that will accommodate the paper and pads of paper.
Oh goody!! What a treat to have a chance to win! Next word- craft!!
You are such an inspiration to me. My word will have to be create, I want to be able to create more in this coming year than I did last year……
My word for today is “Active” get off this chair and do something physical rather than look at a computer monitor…while the computer has become an essential part of my/our life we do tend to forget the important issues in life, I feel more activity at least for me is essential physically and mentally in order to live my life to it’s fullest!
Organization is one of my words for 2014. I want my supplies to be more organized in my craft space. These blog candy add ins would go along way in helping me achieve that.
My next word(s) for 2014 is ‘have faith”. Sometimes I forget who is in charge. Thanks for the opportunity to win some great stuff.
Oh Yeah Becca – you just keep surprising us more and more with your amazing giving aways. You drive us to stay creative and excited so Thank YOU for that. 2014 will be a year to give more and be more creative!!!
My third word for today is DONATE. I realized that when I go through items in my home that have given me pleasure which I need to let go of and Donate, it will help me with my word #1 ORGANIZE. I will have more room for my craft items and be able to find them easier. While I have done this many times I have been slacking in getting things together….NOW is the time.
Thanks again for the inspiration and opportunity. Another word for me is hope. It was a desolate 2013, and time has passed enough that I have hope again.
Love all your cards, such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
You are precious. In spite of life’s difficulties you continue to inspire others. I admire you and your work. Thanks for being so generous.
Forgive would be another word. I should be grateful for what I have. I can’t have children and will never understand why but now that I am creeping up on 50 I need to move on. I love you post and hope that you keep inspiring us.
Thanks again Becca, such a treat for us all to get excited about. Keep your inspiration coming xx
Your generosity is so inspiring! I love the verse in the Bible that says that the same measure we use with others will be used with us. I know that you will in turn be generously blessed by others in 2014 as you have blessed so many!
My word yesterday was “Empowered”, but I’m adding a word a day, just as you are adding blog candy. So my word for today is “Organized”. You inspire my imagination, but I think you are a very organized lady to be able to do all that you do. :-).
Becca you must know that I am trying to get organized and you are helping me with this wonderful candy offer. Love it.
I have already begun to USE—-made a bunch of cards yesterday. Now if the roads clear, maybe I can get to the post office to get some more stamps.
Hi Becca,
I start my day by checking our your creations which are so exceptional. You certainly are a gifted person and show such kindness in sharing with us all.
Annie Corbin
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy. 2nd word following listen is hear.
Good afternoon Becca!
My word for today is “friendship”. I am blessed to have wonderful friends and even though we have never met, I do consider you my friend. You have inspired me with your beautiful creations and your posts are uplifting to everyone. I love reading them because you truly share from your heart. May you be richly blessed in 2014!
Patience
Thanks,
Hi Becca, I guess the word I have been using more this past year is BLESSED, because within a period of 6 months in 2013 I lost 3 members of my immediate family(mom, dad & brother n-law) it’s been a very sad year for myself and family and trying to cope with life, but I’me blessed with a super beautiful family and we continue to be together in good times and sad times.
Inspiration is my special word. I have gotten so much inspiration from you and I hope I can pay it forward to all my acquaintances and do something special for someone else.
I enjoyed then new design you did for today. ” Look up” That is just what I need for today. Thanks. Great Job. Linda
UTILIZE all the ways to use tools that I have. Winning some new ones would be good too. ;-)
My word for today is “family” for they are the ones who make me laugh, inspire me everyday, and love me through the tough times. Because of my husband and children I want to be a better person and make the world a better place.
Dear Becca, I struggle every day with a disability of the spinal cord. I have pain of different degrees and have difficulty walking. I am going to make my word for today, “HOPE”. Just let me say that you give me much inspiration in your card making and being a child of God. Making cards for me is a challenge and also a wonderful experience. I hope and pray that I will be able to make more cards in 2014. You are a very generous lady.
Thank you my friend.
Wow Becca, There are going to be some very lucky winners !! Your give away items are amazing and are thing that any crafter would love to receive !! Being organized is a challenge sometimes and the last two items in your give away really help solve that problem. Thank You !!
You are soooo sweet Becca…TFS and for the giveaway! Love your
word(s) ‘Let Go’ – thank you for that thought too. Sometimes it is really hard to do that….will work on that in 2014 starting – NOW!
Hugs,
Jan
Love is the word….thank you Becca for this wonderful chance to win!
Healthy is my word. After some health issues over the past few years I realize that without our health there isn’t much else. If you don’t feel well you have neither the desire or energy to be anything else. I am at my most creative when I feel well. Good health to all in the New Year!
Hi Becca, Not sure if I am following you on Pinterest but if I am not I should be but I am on your email list. My word for today is ORGANIZE. My craft room is going to get organized soon.
What lovely add-ons you are providing one lucky winner. The word I chose for today would be “Grace.” Though you are sooo familiar with that, I do need to keep in mind the grace extended to me from the Lord, and the grace I need to extend to others. Its one of my favorite words.
Word for today is “MIND”….you must be reading mine, all these wonderful candy storage for your international followers, just love it:)
Today’s word for me is “Perseverance”. So often, we set lofty goals and when we fall short we can get discouraged. Things take time, and I would like to focus on realizing that and living it. Thanks again for the opportunity to win, and I see I am going to have to get involved in Pinterest if I want to stay up on the latest and greatest!
Your cards are really beautiful and special and they are such an inspiration to me. I am choosing the word discipline for 2014. Since becoming a card maker, I find it difficult to focus on anything else in my life. I would rather make cards and watch You Tube videos than anything. In 2014 I would like to discipline myself so that I spend time making cards each day, but also make time for other important things in life, like spending time with God every day. After all, without him I can do nothing. Thanks to you for sharing your God given talent with all of us. May God continue to bless the work of your hands.
Becca, You are always such an inspiration both in the craft room and out! I love that I can go to your Pinterest boards now for easier access too!! My goal this year is to spend less time organizing and more time creating! Blessings to you and yours in 2014!
Cases for storage. I am really in need of some more. It sure helps to have them all lined up like books with a title on the spine. Thanks for the opportunity to win a very useful item.
Thank you again for another chance to get some storage boxes I love following your blog and getting your email notifications Todays word is Patience to keep trying new things!
I follow your blog all the time and love your work. I even have bad days when you don’t post. LOL I hope you have a great New Year!
Hi becca i follow you on pinterest and by E/mail as i just love your work ,i have a smile everytime you put on a project for us to look at , my word for word today is honoured , as i feel very honoured to be one of your friends .
Thank You and may God Bless you and keep you healthy .
Elaine H X
thanks for the chance to win this awesome giveaway
My 3rd word for the year is going to be “Thankful”. I am so thankful for my family. My husband is the best in the world and so is my son. I love them both so much. I am also thankful for all that I have. I am thankful that God has given me so much to praise him for. Thanks for another chance to win something.
I need all the help I can get to be and stay organized. Thanks so much for offering the nice set of cases.
I am a follower and I love all your work. You truly an inspiration to us all.
My word is”organization” . I need to get to work and organize my scrap room so I can find all my goodies.
Thanks for the little bit of sunshine on a cold wintery day with your giving us a chance to win some wonderful prizes.
Becca,
You are AMAZING and God’s Grace, through you, touches so many!
Thank you for your kindness and sharing.
Eliana
Happy New Year, Becca, and to every one who posts a comment!
There are several words I use often, however, in 2014 the focus is ONWARD.
My home for the past 24 years will go up for sale soon and I’m moving ONWARD. This home has served my family well and during the past 11 years without my husband, it has served as my safe haven while figuring out where life will next lead.
Thank you for sharing your artistry, faith, trials and triumphs!
Hi Becca, this is what I sent to everyone in my Christmas Card and New Year wish :
Accept what is
Let go of what was
and Have Faith in what will be.
Have a great day
Odile
I am definitely on your email list! Another word is PRAY for family, friends and all who need prayers! This past year was pretty tough on all my family & friends. So Prayers have been flying fast & furious for them all!!! Also prayers for those who serve our country and their families!!
In 2014 I hope to be better organized!
grateful – I am so grateful for the loving family I have.
Thanks for another chance at some great storage boxes!
Blessed is the word for today!! God sure has Blessed you!!
Today’s word is focus!
Your work blows me a Away!!!!!! I’m so impressed with your work, the suppliers will be happy to know I want almost all products you demo just to make the demo items!
My word for 2014 has to be HEALTH! 2013 gave me a cancer scare in Jan., M-I-L died in sept.& DL needed emergency heart surgery in late Sept.!
I follow your blog and your pinterest. Love the inspiration and would love to win one of the great prizes your giving away!!
I love both of these storage cases! They have improved the organization in my stamping room so much.Thank you for telling us about them! This year I want to BLESS others in APPRECIATION for all the ways that God has blessed me!
I follow your blog and plan on following you on pinterest. I love being inspired by your beautiful cards. The next word I think to work on is de-clutter! It is hard to be creative when you do not have room or know where the things you want are! Thanks for sharing with us.
My word of hte day is “uplifting.” I want to be uplifting or uplifted in the things I do this coming year and not to let things get me down. Thanks for the wonderful candy you have up for your readers. Here’s to an uplifting New Year!
You are always so creative!
I love receiving your e-mails Becca, your creations are sooo wonderful and give me lots of inspiration. Create, create, create, that’s all I want to do!
Rene from OZ xo
Becca I am a subscriber and have been for a few years now and just don’t know what I would do without your clever input into my cards. My word for today is Create.
Hugs Trish.
My word for the day is purge! I have so much stuff in my house and what passes for my craft space and I just have got to give it away so my daughter and I can regain our home!
You are always such an inspiration! So I am taking your words, and those of your followers, and going to try to be a better “me” this year!!
Thank you again for the chance to win!
You really rock…..I do hope that you know that!!
Sue
Keeping that eye open. Can’t believe that people are not watching this candy blog intently. Thanks for the share.
Love your work Becca, my word for the year 2014 is create and you give me plenty of inspiration to do that.
Rene from OZ xo
Hi Becca! Thanks for another opportunity to win. You are so generous! Another word for the new year is graciousness. I will work on being gracious. Sometimes in our fast paced society, its hard to take the time to be gracious. We all NEED to be treated kindly. Life could be so much more pleasant.
Thanks for the opportunity to win some great blog candy. I have been following your blog for many years,at least 5 now, and, thanks to you, have learned to use my dies more efficiently and artistically. Thanks so much for all you share with us. Also, the plastic cases are a very efficient way to store dies and save space as well.
Stamp and die storage is always so useful, I hate loosing a die out of a set. It’s happened a couple of times but thankfully the absconder has always been found, happy day when I tidy. I just need a bigger room now to expand my collections and still have room to play. Thanks for the chance of winning.
You are truly amazing Becca, to make such an awesome candy here.
My word(s) for today must be: Go for it and give it a try, and not to give up before you at least have tryed a couple of times and is very sure, it´s not for you.
Love the candy. It’s just about as sweet as you!
I have another word to share today. It is hope. Despite a rough time in these last two years, it is the one thing that I will not give up.
Boy oh boy, you just keep making this better and better, how I would love to win this GREAT prize. What a way to start the new year off right. Thank you for giving everyone a chance to win
My word for today is move. That is what I plan to do everyday. Some days more than others but I intend to stay healthy and moving is a part of that.
My word is Humility. “Humility and Knowledge in poor clothes excel Pride and Ignorance in costly attire.” William Penn
I am still trying to decide on my word for 2014. I think it may be “FORWARD”, though. I went back to school several years ago, and get my BS in early childhood education in May at age 55. It has been a long road, and I need to set my next goals. I think I may need the reminded to keep moving forward.
I have been a subscriber for about a year now although I’ve checked in regularly longer than that. My outlook for 2014 is CONTROL. I’m seriously working on controlling my spending and eating habits. I’m cutting way back on my scrapping habit and becoming way more choosy in what I really want. I am also eating much, much better since diabetes entered my life. Also, more importantly, I have been working on my spirituality. I started the first of October and am pleased that I am taking CONTROL of my life and living in the reality of this is what it is and only I can change it. I am much happier.
AMAZING is the perfect word for you, Becca. You really are.
very interesting that these products are so close in looks. Would be interested in seeing what the differences are. thanks for sharing.
Hi Becca, Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing with us for the last 6 years. I have been following you on email and pinterest. You inspire me with your beautiful card designs and use of spellbinder dies. Thank you.and God bless you and yours this coming year. X
Listen. That is my word for the day. I need to learn to pay better attention to conversations and try not to interrupt so much!
So nice of you to share everything! You are amazing!
I say thanks for allowing us to see all your great cards and all the different things you have done thru the years, so no need to thank us as we thank you. May this year prove to the best yet.
Dear Becca,
Thank you! It has been a great pleasure seeing your spirit of craftsmanship that has been given to you to design and create exquisiteness.
I am thankful to have stumble on to your site. It truly, indeed has been a great inspiration and Now even more!
Therefore my word is “PERSEVERANCE!”

Congratulations to the previous winners and to those who are about to win!
Blessings & Love,
LV
Oh those clear cases would be wonderful!! I store my dies in their original packages now and it doesn’t work very well. It’s always a pleasure to see your post update in my mailbox. Your cards are always amazing!! I guess that’s why you’re Amazing Grace. LOL
WOW! Too many coments from your fans. Is soo amazing how your creativity, your work, your kindness, your spirit of sharing is admired for all of us. God bless you. Even though I don’t win, I feel glad with participate with the rest of your followers.
Already had commented but wanted to say was on the spellbinders site and saw several videos using the special machine you are giving away and the things they did with this machine were great!!
Wow, this is very generous of you! Thank you. It might be late but I’ll try my luck nonetheless. My word for the year is Relationship. Something i will be focusing on and not take forgranted.
Be still – rest in His presence more on a regular basis. When I take that time my days go so much smoother. . I have not scene these thicker cases, I ordered the others on your recomendation – hope you will post where they can be purchased.
Hi Becca!
My word of the day is dream. Since I was young crafts had always caught my attention but my opportunities were not very many. Over the long years I have had the chance to achieve my dreams little by little. I can gradually achieve my dreams with great effort and I believe we dream to achieve and if I win the Artisan X-Plorer I can do so much more of what I dreamed. Graicias for being part of my inspiration with your beautiful creations!
Sincerely, Maria
Great giveaway! I always love your emails. Your spirit shines through. Love your creations…….very inspiring.
WOW awesome giveaway. I think my word for today is faith…faith in myself, my family, my God, and the abilities I have
Would love these. I have ordered the other kind. After you told us where to get them. I also like the ones from today. Would like to know where they are from. My wish for the New Year is still just to try to be healthier. I do follow you on Pinterest. From the time I first joined.
Organize is the word for this year. Thanks Becca for all your inspiration.
When singing in the new year, I resolved to visit ‘old acquaintances’ this year. When I write notes in our Christmas cards to people whom we haven’t seen for some time, I so often start with, ‘I don’t know where this year has gone!’ I intend to do something about it in 2014. We intend to ‘VISIT’!
Hugs
Anne (UK) x
Thank you Becca for all your wonderful inspirational blog posts. Thank you too for opening up your blog candy to oversea visitors! Debra in the uk
My hubby is 7 years out from retirement and since we’ve been talking of moving near our oldest daughter her husband my word for the year is not only reorganization but downsizing. We really have way too much stuff and would love to give it to someone else who is in need of it. I love coming to your blog and seeing your lovely creations.
My word is Faith. Right now I have Faith that I will get my scrapbooking / card making space organized. It is giving me a headache but I have Faith that it will get done. All you need is Faith!
Awesome second add-on Becca! Today, I shall post my comments here using my Pinterest name.
My second word for the new year is patience . . . as in learning to be more patient with my 6 year old.
Wow, what amazing prizes, I would be thrilled to be the lucky winner. Thanks for the chance.
Becca you are such an inspiration to me. Your delicate and innovative style just blows me away. Thank you for sharing your talent with your followers.
My word this year is organize! With the secondary word – downsize. I want to give away what I do not use and gain control over what I do use.
Wowsa…what a GREAT lot of stuff!
Purge is my word today. Off to $store to get embellishment storage.
Explore…new ideas, new creative ways to do things.
You are so generous with your giving. I have been following your for a long time now and find you to be a very special, precious person. Appreciate everything you do on this site. I know you love your family and friends very much and that is what Life is about and am sorry for people that do not realize this. God Bless
Happiness is my word. Find happiness in yourself, with yourself and in what you do. :)
Goodness, the pot keeps getting sweeter and sweeter :) Just like you!
Awesome! I love these, Becca!
oh my! Lovely add-ons Becca, incredibly useful, and such a generous giveaway! and again, Patience, patience, patience…
Wow, it just keeps getting better and better. You are generous in deed!!
Hugs,
I love your two words “Let go”. I think I will add that to mine this year. I know we all tend to hang on to “stuff” be it physical or mental and in either case we need to “let go” on occasion. I think another word for me this year is patience. As they say all good things in time and I think we sometimes rush through our lives and when things don’t happen as fast as we like or others don’t react how we think we loose patience. So, this year along with healing, being positive, letting go I will try to have more patience.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Becca thank you for a brilliant 2013 & looking forward to all the new crafty goodies coming in 2014. I have two words get more organised & be inspired by your talent you bring, you are an inspiration to me. Also learn to look outside the box with my dies & create more with them .
Hugs Lynda xx
My most important word will be PRAY – without ceasing, until the peace comes.
I have been a subscriber to your blog for a few years but iiiiiiiiiiii’m staying away from anything pin interest or tweeting. I spend a LOT of the day on following blogs. I would never get off the computer if I added those to the list of daily reading material. I sure could use those cases as I have to get rid of the wood blocks on my stamps. They take up too much space in my craft room. Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy. Happy new Year. Word of the day ORGANIZE, including the craft room.
Becca you are such an amazing woman and so generous too. My word for today is BLESSING and my desire is to be a blessing to others as the Lord has blessed me so much. What a mighty God we serve!
My word for today is time: time for others, time for prayer and reflection, and some selfish time for me!
My word today is Fitness. Here’s to a better fitness and diet routine in 2014.
Thankful is a word for the new year. May you have many blessings in 2014.
This just gets better and better. Congratulations to the recipients and most of all, thank you Miss Becca
What a lovely give-away! It would be so much fun creating with this gem! In the new year I’m going for Relaxation!
Thankful is the word! What a fabulous giveaway! I would so love to win! Thanks for the chance!
Another word for 2014 is Thanks. I want to remember to give thanks every day for my blessings.
My word you have a lot of people following you! LOL! Happy Friday!
Becca, I follow you on Pinterest and receive your emails because I LOVE your blog and your cards. My word for this time would be to be more PATIENT with others and myself. I tend to get anxious about things and need to slow down and take my time with others and especially myself. Thank you for your beautiful cards and inspiration you convey through them. May God richly bless you as you have blessed me.
Lovely add on’s My word for the day Grateful as I’m trying to focus on that each day.
Blessings Jocelan
In the Northeast and mid west they are experienciung below 0 temps. here I sit in Florida able to enjoy the outdoors All I need now are 12 cases to put my stamps in–just kidding. I’m good.
Thank you for thinking of us overseas. Your work is just awsome Becca.
I love reading your blog and seeing your beautiful work. I’ve picked two words for 2014 Family & Friends. Spend more time, keep in touch with extended family. Take care of each other.
Hola Becca, una palabra que resuena en mi cabeza para 2014 AGRADECIMIENTO a Dios por haberme permitido encontrar en este arte un ilusion mas para mi vida ahora que tengo tiempo para hacerlo y disfrutarlo
Would love to be the winner!
Hope. That’s it, just Hope. But my Hope is in my Lord. & Savior, Jesus Christ; for there is no Hope without Him. Blessings to you, sweet Becca. You are so talented nd your talent is a blessing to all of us.
Hi All! My next word for 2014 is ‘CHANGE’. After questioning what I want to accomplish and what is keeping me from doing so, I realize that if what I have been doing all along is not getting me the results I desire, continuing to do the same thing will not give me different results, no matter how many times I do it…so I must CHANGE what I have been doing in order to CHANGE the outcomes. This is the scary part, so it’s a big step and a big word; but it’s an exciting word too…and it can be the beginning of winning, and making my life the way I want it to be!
Dedication is my word for today. I am determined to make a Christmas card a week so I don’t have to fret in December, LOL. Love your add-on candy.
This year is going to be ME-MYSELF-AND I…..
Doing what I want and don’t worry what people say!!
Hi Becca, Thank you again for the blog candy and add-ons. I hope I am one of the lucky winners.
Thank you for all you share with us as your work is just out of this world. And thank you for the inspiration you give us. Happy New Year to you and you are an amazing person with all you have gone thru.
Becca, I have no idea if I am posting in the right place or not LOL. I guess I will just do the best I can. Aha, crafting idea. Just do the best I can. Don’t try for perfection. Enjoy crafting.
Becca,
The second prize is just wonderful, especially for those of us that are wanting to get more organized. Would be grateful to win any 3 of you prizes. :D
My 3rd for Jan. 3rd – FRUGAL – Like any other crafter I like to buy stuff for future or current projects and especially when there is a good deal going on. But I have made a New Years Resolution to use items I have in my stash and only buy when I know I will use it at that moment. Being more organized will also help me know what I have so I stick to my New Years Resolution.
Thank you
Deborah :D
My word for today is THANKFUL. I am thankful for all my wonderful family, loving children, extra special grandchildren, my children’s loving mates and all my precious friends I have gathered over the years. Life without these precious people in my life would have been a very lonely unloved world. I do thank God for being so privileged to have so much love in my life.
I hope you are having a wonderful 2014! I am spending more time with my paper-crafting and trying new things. It feels great! My word for Jan.3rd is PRODUCTIVE.
Today my word is belief. I need to believe that God knows how much is too much to put on my shoulders. He and only he can take away all my troubles I just need to believe.
Thank You
Thank You for everything you do you make creating wonderful.
Judy L
You must be cleaning out your work room! :) Amazing “candy” offers. I’ve been following you for a long time and have been inspired to move outside my comfortable box and try some new things, but haven’t begun to get to your heights of amazing creativity. Thank you for sharing so much with us!
Oi, tenho pensamento X AÇÃO que 2014 será excelente para todos que estão sintonizados em crescer, quero participar do sorteio e ganhar e voce continua sendo a minha inspiração para os meus trabalhos. beijos
Less is more – I’m going to use what I have and not keep adding on and on.
Generous is another word I want to incorporate more into my life this next year. You are giving us a wonderful example to follow by being so generous with your blog candy and add-ons! Thank you for being so generous!
You are so gracious Becca – and your faith and struggles inspire the rest of us as well as your art! The Blog Candy is nice, but better is the gift of your art on a regular basis – a gift to us! Thank you for the fun, for the challenge, and now you even give gifts! Now stop working at letting go – and lay it all at the foot of the throne and leave it there!
After today’s health tests, the word is TRUST. Trusting the outcome is positive. Really enjoy your blog…love looking at beautiful things.
The second add on cases look great, I have a few of these already but nowhere near enough to store all my stamps. It would be so great to win these. I do suscribe to your blog but don’t follow you on Pinterest so I am not in the running, but will go and follow you on Pinterest now.
Becca, thank you so much for your generosity. I am looking forward to your creations to come.
My word for today is HEALTH, I recovering from the flu, and it makes me think that health is something not to mess around with. We all should keep our selves and our loved ones as healthy as can be. Thank you for the give a ways they are amazing as you are.
dutch
I enjoy your blog. Wait is my word for 2014. Great candy. Roberta L.
Happy New Year! My word for 2014 is Blessings! How blessed are we that we are able to reveal in the wonderful inspiration and talent you provide us with. Thank you for all of the ongoing motivation you provide!
Hi, Becca –
My third word is patience. I don’t think one can ever have too much patience. We never know what might lie behind a person’s impatience – an illness, family problems, just simply worrying about something close to one’s heart – so I want to exhibit more patience this year. Maybe it will be that little kindness that someone needs to help them get through their day.
Inspired is the word that comes to mind today! And what a joy to see all that you do to inspire us in our endeavors! Thank You!!!
Such a wonderful give away! I really enjoy receiving your blog posts and thank you for sharing your immense talent with all of us. My word for 2014 is CLEAN – clean the house, clean eating, clean out my craft room, etc. Happy New Year to you!
My word for 2014 is restoration.
Hi Becca,
After PEACE my second word would be LOVE, with it we can transform the world, it brings with it inclusion,respect, consideration, service and so on.
Thanks for the chance to win! Hope this makes it for I did not see my comment from yesterday!
Cariños,
María Alba
Becca, I love your work. I’ve subscribed via e-mail for a while now.
My third word for the new year is ORGANIZE. Love all of your projects!!
My word for the day is blessings. I have so many and I be to be one in everything I do. Thanks and many blessings to you, Lisa
Well, I just became a follower on Pinterest. I do not follow it as much as some others may, but did not realize I had not become one of your pin followers until today. So even though I am not eligible for this prize, I am very happy to be one of your followers.
Life, love your site, thank you for the Ideas
More goodies! Gotta love the storage. Most of us never have enough. Thank you so much for all these chances to win! Another word for 2014: Grateful. I certainly need to be more grateful for what I already have.
wow what a awesome way to start 2014 with great ways to organize! thanks so much.
I really love your blog and all the wonderful inspiration you give to us. Such sweet blog candy too. I hope 2014 will be an outstanding year of creativity.
I think my third word would be Thankful. I will be having surgery later this month and will be “out of commission” for at least six weeks. I am thankful for the wonderful man I am married to. He will have to undertake many things we all take for granted while I am recouping. He has done this for me several times in the past and has never complained or acted like he is being “used”. He is just wonderful. Thank you for all your beautiful inspiration.
To say the word “LOVE” more in 2014. “I LOVE your site”. I Love My Family with all my heart. I Love that I live in a country that I can worship my God freely. I Love that I have children who show me Love daily. I Love that I’m a Grammy to 8 almost 9 Grandchildren. I Love that I have a job but would LOVE to retire.
Hi Becca, thanks for all your creativeness.. I look forward to seeing your blog every day!
Thanks for the blog candy, Becca. These candies inspire me for my next very important task, “organization” — so important for a well-run craft room. What better way to spend cold winter days indoors.
Just gets better and better!! Positve – that’s my word today. I don’t care to be around negative people and don’t want to be one of them. In all the time I’ve been following you, I’ve never heard a negative word from you. That’s one of the things I love about you!
I can’t wait to see the total number of comments on this! My word of the day is “create”. I want to create something instead of just reading about all the wonderful tools and seeing what others create.
A second chance….how sweet…thank you for your kindness, and talent, and being YOU!
I left out the fact my word is KINDNESS,
Another add-on! You are so fabulous! Today’s word is love.
Becca those plastic storage cases are great. I was able to find a place giving away VHS cases that were empty and no middles. They are perfect for stamps too.
My goal is to get valentine cards finished for the grands. Looking at paper now.
Always enjoy your creations!
WOW! What awesome giveaways. Thanks for the opportunity to win. My word for 2014 is purging. I want to do some serious purging of “stuff” and get more organized.
Oh Becca, you are so generous. My word for today is “THANKFUL”. I am thankful for my family, my salvation, the talents God has given me and for all the wonderful people I have met in this crafty world.
wow more giveaways. you are so generous to your blog followers and always have been. i am so non-technical and i know that is holding me back from a lot of things, so my word today is to be brave, go forward and just do it.
Hi Becca,
My word for 2014 is de-clutter. We purchased an RV a little over a year ago, and I had an “a-ha” moment this summer when it became clear to me just how comfortable we can live without a whole bunch of “stuff” around. Although our RV is outfitted quite comfortably, we have several cupboards that are empty. And they can stay that way. It really helped me get clear on how I can do that at home, as well. I am very blessed, because my darling husband is of the same mindset, so our goal this year is to edit our possessions. We only want to have stuff that we will use. We are quite excited about this prospect. I’ve even started to pull together some paper and such from my scrap room that I know I won’t use, so I can donate it to one of our local elementary schools.
Happy 2014 Becca! I hope it’s a wonderful year, in all ways, for you.
Patience!!!!! It’s so needed in my life. Hugs
Just started following you on Pinterest, another word for me this year is Dedicate!
Becca, my word today is “SHARING.” It does no good to create these beautiful cards if I don’t share them with my friends, co workers, and family. A box of finished cards will make a great gift, and I can do them assembly line style to speed up the process. I can’t wait to get started! I love your Pinterest page too! Thanks for “SHARING” your talent with us!
Excited is my word for today! In 2014 I will find something/someone each day that makes me feel excited! Like . . . I am excited today about your talented card design and the opportunity to win! This is a great game.
PATIENCE is my word for today, I need to try and be a bit more laid-back about some things : )
Thanks for the chances to win your candy, very generous of you.
I think ‘Positive’ would also fit my reasoning this year -Living in Australia away from family I miss so much, has made me craft more,but I feel insecure as I craft alone,and too shy to ‘join in’ with other crafters at the classes local.
I use the websites to browse and watch videos for encouragement only –
I ‘do ,so much’ enjoy your creations as they are divine -thank you as you make one retired lady very happy . .
Hi Becca,
My word for the day has to be “organize”. I need to do lots of that, along with making more cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
BABIES!
My daughter is having baby #3, girl #1, in early to mid May. One daughter-in-law is having baby #1, unknown gender, in late March, and another daughter-in-law is trying for baby #1, any gender, any due date.
So it is the year for grandbabies and traveling this year to MN and NY. ‘Saying prayers that all goes well for all the girls…
Love your cards! They are beautiful!
My word is LOVE, for the Lord and your neighbors.
Another word for this year is “patience”. Since I work at a school I need a lot of this everyday!
NO REGRETS….
I love love giveaways. for the new year I what more Inspiration and I will be more in tune to sit and craft. thanks for the chance to win
Happy New Year, Becca! What fun candy you’re giving out! My word would be “arise”. My granddaughter had stents put in her leg this year at the age of of nineteen. She is now marching in the Gamecock Band AND she scraps, too! She definitely arose to her challenge and I hope to arise to mine – whatever The Lord has for me! God bless y’all!
HOPE is my next 2014 word that I want to keep strong in my life — hope that God grants my sweet hubby of 35 years on Sunday MANY more years of love, devotion, laughter, sharing together & watching our family grow with in-laws (& God willing, precious grandchildren)! Hope that we find many more ways to share our love & gratitude for ALL that we have on this blessed earth! Amen!
Wow another beautiful card today, thank you for sharing. My second word for 2014 is office. My stockpile of premade cards for both my office and my husbands has gotten way to low. I like to keep several options on hand for each occassion for anyone who needs that last minute or special handmade card.
My word for today is ENTHUSIASM which I will need a lot of to get all that organizing done that will bring me peace!
Great giveaway! Thanks is my word for today.
My word today is FAITH – Losing my Dad this summer really made me look to my faith to get me through the time since he passed. I know without my faith that I would have dropped into the depth of despair. I am thankful for my faith in God because I know He is directing my path.
Wow, thanks for a chance to win, LOVE your work!!
I just want you to know I LOVE your site as well as the daily emails. Thank you so much for giving me a chance to win the blog candy. I am amazed by your gift of creating such beautiful cards. I only wish I had 10% of your talent. I’ve been blessed with your kits that you made available to us a year ago. I take one with me everytime I travel. So much fun to create and give to others as I travel. I try to recreate for me as well. Thanks for your talent and your sharing it with me. Melvena (Nena)
As usual, great cards getting my creative juices flowing!
Oops my word is LOVE – I love, love, love your gift and talent!
FOLLOW-THROUGH. Having great ideas is great. But not as great as following through on making the ideas a reality.
my word for today is Laugh, I have gotten to serious over the years, I need to laugh more, and find humor in day to day things. SMILE! Love all the posts… they make me smile and laugh!
I have thinking more and more about the word for this year. Even though I already posted one the other day, I think I would revise it to “purge”. I would like to go through some of my supplies and purge out those that I don’t use and keep hording! Thanks for all your inspiration!
Super fab giveaway Becca! So fun.
Live. Live like there is no tomorrow!
Hugs…
Next comment. Becca. My word for today is renew. Renew my connections with my friends and renew several areas of my life. Thanks
To my inspiring stamper, have a wonderful weekend and happy stamping!!
I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful husband. He would give me the moon if I asked for it! We have been married for 32 years but it sure doesn’t seem like it. I am so thankful for having him in my life!
My word for today is SIMPLIFY!,, Keeping this in mind whenever I want something new, or whenever I have the need to be creative!
My key word has to be organize and purge. Not only in my craft room, but throughout my home and life. thank you.
Julie
Love is my word for 2014. Love your work Becca and thank you for the inspiration every day.
Hello Becca! My word for today is ENJOY! This year I will not take anything for granted – not my ability to create, not my children (really not kids; all grown up, lol), not my grandson, nor my wonderful friends, both ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ ones! I will get together with family & friends and ENJOY what God has given me. I will get on my MB’s and not feel guilty because I am ENJOYING the close friendships that have grown over the years on the Internet! I’m not even going to take all the papercrafting supplies for granted and use them, ENJOY them! These are my works of heART and gifts from God. If I don’t use them, ENJOY them, then I could possibly lose them. He wants us all to be happy and I am when I’m ENJOYING His gifts.
Oh, girl, I’m excited – I need to go find my Spellbinders & go make something! lol
Thanks again Becca, I’ll see you tomorrow!
Angie
Hi, Becca! Moving right along with my organization plans today! My sweet hubby took me to our local craft store today and turned me loose in the furniture/organization isle! God love him! He is so good to me! As I hobbled around on my broken toe I loaded up on baskets and desktop storage goodies! So, today’s word for me is GRAITUDE as I am a most “fortunate bear” and am so blessed!
Gratefully,
Melinda
Winter Bear Trading
My word for the new year is two words, do it! I’m such a procrastinator and drive myself crazy with all the things I want or need to do but don’t get done. I really hope to change that this year.
Thanks you, Becca, for all the inspiration and the beautiful cards you post.
Thank you, Becca for this additional opportunity to win blog candy. Since I’m in the process or reorganizing my crafting space, these cases would really come in handy.
One word that is a goal for the coming year would be appreciation–I want to appreciate all of the people dearest to me and to take every opportunity to spend time with them and to be there to support them. And it’s important to appreciate the life we’ve been given by God.
Today’s word for me is LEARN. Learn something new everyday. Like today, I learned about a product for stamp storage. Love those plastic storage cases you have as today’s prize. Thanks for the chance to win and for your inspirational blog. I enjoy reading it each day it shows in my e-mail.
My word is SHARE, following your example, I made and sent 0ver70 cards last year using spellbinders on every one! Love your instructions and the product! Thank you and keep it coming please!
I choose the word OVERCOME. I have learned that Fear is nothing but False Evidence Appearing Real. In 2014 I will OVERCOME every obstacle that attempts to hinder my progress & success….No weapon formed against me shall be able to prosper!
Trust in Love. For if you do not there is no point to life. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t believe I’m not following you on Pinterest. Well I’ve corrected that error.
I think my next word should be encourage. I hope to do better at this both in person and in my card making. WOW almost 1300 comments!! that has to be encouraging!! thanks for sharing and thanks for a chance to win!!
What another awesome giveaway. Today’s word for me is organize. I really need to totally organize my card making stuff.
HAPPINESS
My second word I think should be thankfulness. Instead of worrying about what I don’t have or what I want, I’m going to concentrate on what I do have and be thankful for all the blessings that are in my life.
My 3rd word is de-clutter,
ORGANIZE is what I need to do for 2014 with my paper crafting supplies.
My word today is” grateful” for all the help and inspiration I get from your posts,
thanks
“PURGE” the unnecessary clutter from my home (craft room) and life in 2014.
Wow great prize and a long list. This is my first time to your blog. Great ideas. My word is water. I am going to try to drink lots more water and less pop.
Word for this day would be LISTEN. To be alert to others needs above my own. Sometimes a soul only wants to vent not be told stuff; so that is what I need to focus on this year a lot more. Thanks again Becca for an awesome chance to win!
What a gorgeous piece of machinery!!!! Love the Spellbinders and thanks for the chance to win!!
You´re unbelievable sweet and generous always, and I really admire you sooo much both as a crafter but also as a person.
My word for today must be JOY. With joy you can almost deal with everything in any way, no matter what, so if you just keep the joy, it´ll help you stay positive, which is one of my other words this year.
Have a wonderful week-end hun and lots of fun, I hope.
RESTFUL….I know God is working His plan for good in my life and I just need to rest in knowing He will open doors right for me and close the ones I should avoid. Thanks Becca for all the beautiful projects you share with us!
I think that your cards are gorgeous. Just the kind I am trying to learn to make. would love to win a prize so thanks for the chance
Kathleen
My word for today is forgiveness.
Wow Becca, that is a serious lot of stuff you are willing to part with – I love everything! Thank you for being so generous.
Hola Becca, my word is “WHATEVER” my idea for hti year is try to creat whatever, beacuse if the inpiration come you need to be working:D.
Blessings for you and your family from Palma de Mallorca Spain
Enjoy your blog so much—your creativity is an inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.
Delight
“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” ~ Psalm 37:4
That is my prayer for 2014.
Thank you Becca, you have amazing talent.
I hope to be more dedicated to my Lord, my family and to my crafting in the coming year. Thank you for all your beautiful inspiration!
“Harmony” makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay. Sallust
The word for today is “HOPE”. As we go through life, we are always looking at things that we hope to accomplish, hope to get, hope to see, but we should do our best each day to accomplish the things that are important and strive to get what we need and live each day to the fullest. I’m sure everyone would hope to be as talented as you are but we are all not alike, but I do HOPE that I get some of the blog candy. Thank you again for your generosity.
HOME is my word for today. Bless you Becca for getting me to take a look at a new year in a way I had never done before. As far as I am concerened I have already won.
Hi Becca. First a very Happy New Year. And thank you for these lovely give away gifts. Good luck one and all. My word is Family.
I wish you another splendid year. Thanks for all the inspiration. Crafty hugs. Jan.
de-clutter is my word for today and 2014. My craft area is a mess from the holiday card making, my house is a disaster, my office is a nightmare all suffering from clutter. 2014 is a new year and new opportunity :) Thank you for the inspiring cards and ideas. Your work is wonderful.
Today’s word is patience. In my role at work I need to have so much patience as I have to show and teach others how to do their jobs properly. Sometimes I get a little agitated because they move too slowly. This year I am going to show greater patience.
As a new card maker you are an inspiration for me to keep trying, your an amazingly talented woman and I hope to one day be able to make such beautiful cards as you do!
My word for today is thankful. This is because I am traveling to a town about 90 miles from here to visit my parents. I am 67 years old, and my mom is 91 and my dad is 95. How lucky I am to still have them with me, and I intend to be very thankful for them every day this year.
Faith is my word for 2014. Faith to trust Jesus in all I do. Items of concerns for 2014: De- clutter, get organized, open my heart to all the possibilities of this year, and continue to create.
Hi Becca…
The add ons are awesome. Someone will be very happy when they win.
The word for today is GRACE….
This is given to all of us … FREE of charge, even if you don’t believe or have faith. God’s grace is an awesome gift to each of us and he knows when we need it so he showers us with it constantly. I am so glad!!!
Jennifer

Good morning Becca:
Thank you for the opportunity to win add-on #1 or #2. Extra storage is always essential. I look forward to your cards and the simple but thorough instructions that you offer with the creation.
The word for today is kindness!
Stay warm. It’s bitterly cold here. Wishing you the blessings of health and happiness in this new year,
Jean.
My word today is “Fun”! Always make my project fun. I try not to get “too serious” about the whole process of my project. That would only give me a headache! Think of all the fun I have creating!!
Hugs, Becca. You always make me smile!!
Amazing blog candy! Thanks for the chance to win. This past year we’ve been fighting Cancer. My boyfriend has had a brush with colon cancer! He’s had chemo and radiation. Then surgery to get the tumor.And behind the tumor (that they hadn’t seen) there were 15 other polyps. Amazingly…they were all benign! And the cells in the tumor were all dead!!!!! He’s going to get another round of chemo of the ‘just in case’ variety. But it’s all looking good. So another word for us is free. As in cancer free! And also “Second Chance”.
Thanks for all your lovely cards and projects. Hugs, Jess
Hoping to be a lucky winner! My word for today is PEACE. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!!! Thanks for sharing with us your many talents.
CHERISH …….. cherish every moment you have with your family and friends. Things can change in the blink of an eye!
Wow! The goodies just keep getting better! I’ve wanted the Damask spellbinders set for a long time! Thanks again for another chance. I didn’t leave a comment for yesterdays post, because I was in bed with a cold. I’m up today, but still sick. I just couldn’t spend any more time in bed. So I’m here today with my newest word. It’s Create. Most of my stash is in storage so I’ve been limited to what I can create. And my space is limited too. I don’t have room for my Cricut, so it is in it’s box. Awaiting our move into our own place. Meanwhile… I am creating my cards as best I can. But it has been fun to remember the way it used to be, when I first started scrapping and making cards. I’ve also made 2 mini albums, and have more on the way. Thanks for your lovely creations. And I can’t wait to see if I’ve won anything. Since my birthday is the 7th it would be a wonderful surprise. If not… I wish everyone else the best of luck. Hugs, Jess
Appreciate- everyone in my life and appreciate the creativity we participate in with our crafts. Appreciating Becca and her gifts and willingness to share her talent!
My word for 2014 is CHANGE. I am going to welcome change I have no control over as well as create my own changes! You are such an artist and I admire your beautiful work. You never cease to amaze. Here’s to an Amazing Grace 2014!
Peace would be my word for 2014. This is a fabulous prize; would love to have it. I love your blog and your ideas, they are the greatest. Spellbinders are my absolutely favorite scrapbooking items.
Wow thankyou so much for these great gifts ,.. I think my word today is ‘ inspired’ you give me inspiration every time i visit you here .. thankyou xx
This year I want to Create More………….Relax More……………Share More………Love More…………..and Explore More!!! So I guess my word of the year is More………….more of everything that is good!
Happy New Year! May it be More then you ever expected!!
My word for the day is hope life is amazing even at the low points. With hope we make it through the rough times. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome blog candy.
Create! Create! Create! God’s our creator. Becca the card creator! Keep up the creativity. I love it.
What beautiful add-ons, very practical and what anyone would use. I love everything and am keeping my fingers crossed. I love the card that you added to your blog today. Very nice verse and am wondering what company made this stamp. If you ever have time to answer this, I would appreciate it. Your cards are all so lovely and inspiring.
Thank you so much for this fabulous opportunity. Today the word is PATIENCE in all phases and not be so quick to judge or criticize.
Grandchildren
Another fabulous giveaway. Thanks for all the inspiration.
My word for today is “LOVE” I think if we love more we can become more tolerable of people, places and things if everyone loved each other for what they are then that love would bring with it peace and a better world to live in…Becca you are a shining example of the word “love” and I am inspired by ALL you do…thanks for everything
Happy New Year Becca!
What an amazingly generous giveaway! My word for the year is “Positive”. No matter what happens I’m trying to find a positive about it! I would like to thank you for all your hard work and inspiration you have brought all of us in 2013 and look forward to seeing what amazing creations you bring us in 2014!
Karen M.
Snowy that is what it is doing here in the Rockies.
Becca, thank you so much for the chance to win this awesome prize! My word is ‘free’. I want to free myself and others to be the beautiful people God designed us to be.
My word for today, probably like many others, is THANKFUL! I’m so thankful that my daughter was able to fly from CA to VT so we could be together as a family during the Christmas holiday. I am thankful for every opportunity that I get to spend with my children, even though they are grown adults and living their own lives. Having my children around radiates so much love and warmth. Thank God there is such a thing as e-mail, so that we can keep in touch throughout the year.
I would love to win any of these wonderful prizes!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Thank you Becca for the blog candy and add ons, what wonderful items. Another word for 2014 is easy going. I want to try and not let the little things bother me because in the scheme of life do they really matter. Can’t wait to see who the winners are!!
I love your card Turn Your Face To The Light. So pretty, so pink!
My word for today: doing. I spend sooooo much time reading and getting inspiration. This year I would like to find my own voice of creativity. I want to put all the learning into actual motion and see what is inside and how it translates to my art.
I simply couldnt do without you on your YouTube channel. When I made the note cards and box I had to replay that video over and over to follow it exactly after trying to do it from memory and using the wrong die template. Wondered why the lid didnt look right LOL.
Loving all the gifts! My word for today is Faith…having faith in myself and others.
FAITH for all aspects for living and loving!
My word for the day this greatful. First of all for the Saving Grace of my Lord Jesus Christ, Second for my family. Third for my church family. Forth for you and all you share with us. Blessings, Lisa
So many words come to mind: organization, moderation, giving, sharing, loving, gratefulness — I realize my final word needs to be BALANCE, as I’m hoping to find balance in my life. I LOVE so many different crafts that sometimes I fail to balance all that I need to do in a day and still find time to either paper craft, sew, digital die cut, watch my FAV TV programs, spend quality time w/hubby and precious family/friends and balance it all w/out feeling overwhelmed or stressed. Going to cut back a bit on some of my ‘me time’ and try to organize things in my craft & sewing room so when I have time I actually accomplish more & spend less wasted time looking for things to complete a task — achieving BALANCE — wish me luck!!!
Thanks, Becca, for all you share with us and Happy 2014 to you & yours!
Ohhhhh, Spellbinder dies are my favorite! Thank you, Becca, for such wonderful inspiration.
Oh my! More wonderful goodies from a so talented lady. Your work just blows me away. I can’t wait for your posts to see what yumminess you’ve come up with. Thank you!!!
Happy New Year, Becca – wishing you all the best!! Wow, what a fun Blog Candy, thank you so much for giving all you followers a chance to win. I am looking forward to seeing what lovely creations you have in store for us!! My word is FORGIVENESS.
My word for today? FAMILY! To keep making those cards for my kids EACH WEEK while they’re off to school & to keep being that SOFT PLACE for them when they need us! I helps with that “empty nest” thing that happens as you get older! :)
I am so glad I am a you tube subscriber! I love all your prizes! Your card today is beautiful. Let me see…another word for the new year…I am thinking COMMITMENT. I have a battle that I need to fight and I need commitment and willpower. It is a weight-loss battle. Thanks again for this opportunity. It is good to be challenged to do some soul searching!
Love your work. It’s always so beautifully done. Getting HEALTHY is my word/goal for 2014. Happy New Year
All I can say is YUM. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful chance!!!!
Wow, somebody is going to be thrilled they were a follower on youtube! Amazing.
Becca, I lam grateful for the opportunity to win all these great prizes. Thank you for all the elegant cards you create and then share with us. I love how you incorporate different textures to add dimension and interest to your cards. My word for today is TEXTURES.
My word for today is Thankful. I am thankful for so many opportunities to learn, for so many wonderful tools to work with, and for friends I have met along the way. It’s much easier to create in an arena of thankfulness.
SMILE. That is my word for today. A smile can be shared with everyone. It can make your heart happy and all those that accept it.
Happy New Year!!! What a fabulous and awesome giveaway!!! Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration!! :)
Becca,
Wow oh Wow! This is an AWESOME Blog Candy……I am too excited!!! You are so AWESOME always! One day I will recreate something you make, like the one I am working on right now, fleur delis tutorial…slowly!
My word is “Weight Watchers” I am a lifetime member; achieved when I was 13. Oh, there is a story behind this statement! LOL! I am just a member of this fantastic program! I started WW at 281 lbs. back in 2013 (April) I am down 51 lbs.!!! I received my first comment, by my favorite waitress (Jane) at the Egg Shell Restaurant, the week before New Year’s Eve. One of my hopes 2014, is to go all the way and loose another 50 lbs. My Weight Watches goal is 140 lbs. I will do this, it will take 2 more years!!
Thanks again!!!
Gay Ferland xoxo
OK, my third word of the day: Compassion…..or perhaps patience, because I am sorely lacking BOTH LOL!!!!
I love today’s card. My word for today would be FAITH – to not let anything “rock” my faith in God, no matter what comes my way.
I am truly blessed to have found a blog like yours to follow. Thanks for all the years of fantastic cards and wonderful ideas you have given me. And thanks for the opportunities to win the fantastic give-a-ways that you provide. You are the blessing to all who follow you.
complete – I have started many projects and need to complete them.
What an “amazing” list of goodies you are offering. Hope you have an
“amazing” year in 2014, because you are such an “amazing” lady!
Love your beautiful work and so appreciate the instructions and tutorials you offer. I have learned so much!
Such amazing blog candy! You’re so generous. My second word of 2014 is PROGRESS. I tend to procrastinate a lot, so any progress I make in anything is a good thing. I already managed to recycle a bunch of paperwork and clean out two kitchen cabinets this morning……PROGRESS!!
Have a wonderful year Becca. Thanks again for sharing all your ideas and creativity! New word – Family
My word for today is CREATE. I want to start creating more of the beautiful things I see. Since Im very new to the card making craft Ive spent a good
year gathering supplies which I had no idea would be so extensive depending on what you wanted to make. Now I want to create more of what Ive visually indulged in.
My word for today is Amazing! You are amazing and I hope to do at least one amazing thing each day this year. Thanks for the opportunity to win at least one thing!
Great add-on #3!!! Who wouldn’t want those die cuts!
You DO get some wonderful goodies to give away! You inspire so many with your blog and the work that you do. Reading the previous comments and with your inspiration – I think my next word needs be sharing. Of myself, and my work. I love to make things, I have since I was a child. Card making is an outlet for me; but I’ve always had a limited outlet for those cards. I think I will find a place to send them so that I can share them with others. Thank you Becca, for your inspiration and sharing of your talent.
Hi Becca these look lovely thanks again for the chance to win ,I follow you by e-mail and did subscribe to your collections shame thet finished must get my craft into shape
“Determined” to get my craft room and office organized. Love your posts, inspirations and shares.
Ok, the next word for this year is MINDFUL. I will be more mindful in all that I do. Mindful when I create, eat, plan, conversations, etc.
Thank you again!
Oh my goodness becca, what an awesome prize this is. I´m soo glad, I´ve been a folower there for a very long time he he he, cause this prize would really get a good home here with me, I´m totally addicted to dies as much as gorgeous paper and ribbon, so maybe my next word should be MODISTY??? ha ha ha
Hope you have a wonderful day sweet lady and lots of great fun.
So many exciting items! Awesome! Today I am looking toward completion. I need to complete projects for some upcoming workshops and trades and I know I will be calmer when they are finished and I can relax.
My word for today is “create”. I hope to dedicate more time in 2014 to being creative.
OOOOOOh La LA! What a great addition! Dies, embossing folders to make super cards. I would LOVE to win these, and since my goal this year is to buy less and use what I have, it’s especially attractive. I’m CAPABLE of doing that, but it won’t be easy! :) Along with that I need to be DILIGENT about getting my craft room organized so I know what I do have! Yikes!
Adding another post. Great site, beautiful cards.
O My Becca your are AMAZING…thank you for the chance to win such wonderful candy:)… my word is “Productive”.

Becca,
Good afternoon! You’re so generous to your blog followers…this will be a really nice New Years gift on our doorstep. Thank you for the chance, I love your blog!!! Love all your projects…God bless you and your family!
Lots of love, Aggie xxx
I think acceptance is a good word for me to repeat often. I think I would be VERY HAPPY to accept any of the awesome prizes you have offerend!!
Another word I have for 2014 is Legacy. Combine it with my first word of intentional and you have my focus for 2014. Not a morbid thought, but rather a reminder to pour into my kids as much as I can in all areas of their lives, especially on the spiritual side.
Awesome giveaway. Nothing better than Spellbinder Dies to play with. My word for today is CAN. New life challenge and big changes to make, so I’m going to think positive and know I CAN meet this challenge and make the changes,. thanks again for all the wonderful inspiration you give us along with those gorgeous cards.
Enjoy your warm day Becca. The words for today here are SNOW and COLD. Brrrrrrr!
Happy New Year Becca! You always inspire me, so this year my intent is to create even more beautiful cards and use them to bring happiness and joy to everyone who opens them. Thank you for allowing me to appreciate (my word of the day) the beauty in every day.
What a wonderful giveaway and so very generous of you.
I only have but a handful of dies so these sure would be a great prize to win for me to add to the few that I do have.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
I would be most ‘grateful’
ColleenB.

I love the beautiful card you inspire us with. My word for the year would be cure.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to expand our crafting possibilities and in turn brighten someone’s day by being a recipient of that crafting.
WOW! that is a wonderful ‘consolation!’ (LOL) prize for some lucky crafter. Wishing the rest of you ladies the best of luck, I’m not in competition for this one – sniff, sniff. Thank you Becca it has been interesting reading all the entries over the past few days.
I follow you on email and check out your videos almost daily. Your cards are just gorgeous. I guess my word for today would be follow.
You have a very generous nature to share your talent, yourself , and wonderful prizes. Happy New Year and thank you.
You are the first blog that I ever followed and you are still my primary blog!! God has blessed you with the ability to give pleasure through your artistic talents. Thankyou and have a great 2014!
Becca in all the excitement and prospect of winning this wonderful gift my manners failed me so please accept my sincere apology and wishes for a safe and Happy New Year…hoping you have good health and the good fortune to continue sharing your beautiful creations with all of us,
best wishes from Susan in Auss
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize, Becca. My word for today is “perseverance”. For this coming year, I would like to demonstrate more perseverance in completing the tasks that need to be done and to create more cards that I can really be pleased with. I know that your blog will help me with the card part and I will have to work hard on the tasks at hand.
I hope I’m subscribed to your utube channel. I subscribe to your blog so I hope I get notice of all your videos.
Word of the day. ENJOY as in enjoy the moment. Appreciate your life and friends and family.
Just love the coffee and cream card with your beautiful stamp set.
My next word is ‘UTILISE’. I was clearing my work table as a friend wanted help with some invitations and I discovered dozens of shapes which I had cut but not used! I am determined to use them rather than storing them.
Hugs

#3 thanks for the chance of winning these gorgeous dies, embossing folders and texture plates. You are so generous to give these away.
I missed adding #2 on yesterdays comment, I hope I’m not disqualified now.
*My word should be Oooops! I’m so forgetful lately, lol
but I much prefer these few words;
” Never give up” and “Stay Positive” xx
Another word for my New Year is Fearless. I never use to be afraid, but since my husband died I am. I need to to find my way to our lifetime of dreams on my own, fearlessly.
So wonderful! Thank you Becca! I came up with another word too….Remember….I lost my mom this year so I think working even harder on photos and wall displays is a good thing.
My word for the 4th day is help
Thanks Becca for the chance to win these goodies, so my word for today is Thankful. I am thankful for all the wonderful things in my life and for the wonderful husband who understands my obsession with making cards. I am also thankful for you and all the other crafters that share their talents with us.
Linda D.
#3 Wow, more great add ons! The word for today is snuggle. I am going to snuggle with my granddaughter today. It’s so cold!
Wow, it gets better every day!!
It’s been so nice to see your new work and also reflect on our goals for ourselves in 2014. AND the candy looks very good too! Thank you!
My word for today is ORGANIZE (and keep it up, lol). I find that being too disorganized stunts my creativity or I’ll have a great idea but can’t find all the supplies that I need so I just walk away ????. But no more! I have resolved to get my craft room in order so I can ENJOY my crafting time (see it all comes together: organize & my word yesterday enjoy! I’m already feeling good about this ????.
In addition to following you by email and Pintrest I also subscribe to your YouTube channel. Now to collect more Spellbinders!
Angie
Such wonderful gifts you are offering. I can’t believe your generosity Becca! I am offering a second word – “Inspiration”!!! This is what you give us all the time. I love it when your name pops up in my Inbox!!! Love and hugs Christine xx
My word for today is “BALANCE” – I have learned recently how important balance is in life. Whether it’s balance concerning ti or balance in eating right, without balance in all things, life will feel out of sync. Keeping my faith as the foundation of my life willgive me balance with my family, my creativity, time, and all other aspects of my life because I want to live life to its fullest.
Thank you, Becca, for sharing your creativity and inspiration with all of us.
oh becca, as always your generosity is amazing. love your work and I have been a follower for many years. thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Becca
My word for today would be lovely , as your work is all lovely , you are just one lovely talented Lady .
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you share with us , and i feel blessed that i was able to find your blog that gives me so much pleasure .
Take Care and God Bless x
I am going to try and” create” something every day. thanks for the opportunity to win something. my favorite tool just broke over Christmas so have to look for something new. I had a cuttlebug and it really got lots of use.
This is an amazing blog candy! My word for 2014 is CREATE.
Thanks for your daily inspiration. God bless you!
Another word will be “create”. I’ve been in a more-than-year-long-slump and it’s time to get out of it, LOL! Your work is always an inspiration and I look forward to seeing what comes from your blog this coming year. Thank you!
Another great one thanks
Oh! Becca, I am so in love with this card. The colors, the verse, the layers, the elegance. You are truly inspiring to me.
You are giving some lucky recipients a very Happy New Year with all these wonderful gifts. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.
My third word for this year is: giving. I am going to give-back in some way to my community this year. I have so much to offer that I want to be willing to share it with those who need it.
Another word…Fortitude… it takes fortitude to meet each day God gives us. Sometimes people approach us with negative attitudes or in our workplace we are faced with challenges that are negative and we need to have Fortitude to get past these challenges. Wow Becca, as I read through the words of everyone, I will have a NEW vocabulary for 2014. THIS IS GOOD STUFF!!
Jennifer
Today my word is create – I do find time to create quite often but not as much as I would like!! I get much inspiration from your blog and love your tips and techniques. Thank you for sharing with us!! Happy New Year.
Well, rats, I love the blog candy for today, but I haven’t followed you on YouTube :( My connection is slow…someone will be VERY happy to have these wonderful items though, and I’ll be happy for them!
My 4th word for the contest is Gratitude. I’m so grateful to be able to pursue my craft and passion, and I want that to show in everything I do. Thanks, Becca. These five words are a good reminder of how to start out the New Year!
Oh gosh! It keeps just getting better and better! This is SO generous and fantastic!
Valerie
What wonderful gifts for some lucky person!!
Awesome is the only word to describe your generosity!
MJ
Wow! Really?! What a great prize—good luck everyone!
Wow another great prize! Thanks for the chance to win.
I am glad you don’t sell cars…..I find myself in love with your creations and when I start looking, feel I need this spellbinder and that die….often things I would not typically look at and know that I could use to produce such beautiful things. I am glad you don’t sell cars…I might need one of those too!
Your creations are lovely.My word for the day is Kindness,it doesn’t take any time to be kind.
Blessings Jocelan
I am still sticking with the word “Faith”. Even when I see or read about bad things happening in the world, I know that somehow and in some way good things will come from this. You just need Faith and you will see miracles happen.
Becca, I have watched several of your u-tubes but didn’t realize I could subscribe, so I did today!! Watched three I had never seen and really learned a lot. I love the gilded gatefold card and after watching I feel that I can put a card together with follow you. Also learned so much with the stamp-a-ma-jig and will be going out to purchase one. Thank you for the inspiration and the chance to win your fabulous prizes. Blessings~~ Catherine
Wow, so nice when the stamps have dies to match—sure saves on fussy cutting everything out. Sweet cards using both! A little word but goes a far way —FORGIVE, as is hard to do but means a lot !
simplify is my word for today. Need to purge some clutter (been working on that since new year Yea!). And share all my extras. To much stuff in craft area and spend more time organizing then using. So inviting friends over to use some of those up.
Hi Becca, Great prizes you have offered. I am on your email list and now following you on Pinterest. Guess I will now go find you on you tube. Too late for the drawing, but next time. FOCUS is my word today. I and going to stay more focused on the things I want to do and learn. Happy everything.
I really enjoy your blog. I think a great word is SHARE. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us.
I follow you always. Check my link everyday to see what new and wonderful project you make. Thanks for all the inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful products.
Thankful will be my daily word. Thankful for friends, life, the talents of people like you Becca who create and inspire.
My word for today is empathy.. The older I get and the more experiences I have, the more I realize that a lot of people just need some empathy and understanding for what they are experiencing. We all have a journey and we can’t do it alone.
Hope!!!! That I will win one of the prizes….lol
such brilliant candy….many thanks…..health and happiness for 2014…xx
I just love your latest card, it certainly has the wow factor. I think your style and inspirational words would go well over here in the UK as they are so beautiful and different. Debra
Good morning Becca, I love your blog and you make my day when I see the email that announces its arrival! For that reason I chose the word teacher. And that teacher is you. Until I saw your website, I had no idea such beautiful cards were possible. Mine will never be as gorgeous as yours but, you have shown me the possibilities.
Word for today is Patience. HE works in wonderous ways, but HE works in HIS own time…not ours.
One word! Mine is a whole sentence! :) Now I’m trying to think what one word would convey my thoughts…this could take a while. LOL.
My word for 2014 is DO! A positive word I feel and if we do things we are achieving and so helping ourselves and others. I get a lot of positive, doing inspiration from you Becca and not just in crafting. I am so grateful for all the spirit you give of yourself to others. I look forward to continuing to follow you in 2014 and hope it’s a healthy, happy and positive one for you and all those you love. x
Again, thanks for your generous candies. My word is “thankful.” To be thankful for what I have, to be thankful for the things I am able to do, and to be thankful for the people in my life (including you and your blog).
Thank you Becca for all your inspiration throughout the year, I just love your blog. Blessed is the word I will concentrate on throughout the year, remembering to count my many blessings that I am surrounded by. Thank you for your generosity
well shoot, i haven’t followed you on YouTube but like so many before me have said i reckon i will now. regardless, my word for today would be blessed.
I missed yesterday so I am going to give you 2 words today….
MANAGEMENT and HAPPY
I am going to try and manage my crafting a little more than before…this is to say that I want to craft MORE
I am going to be happy happy happy this year…just because we are still here and healthy…
Well I’ve never won anything before so perhaps hope should be my word for today. I hope whoever wins enjoys their prize, which ever one they are lucky enough to get. I have enjoyed reading the comments good luck to all taking part and I look forward to another year of superb blogs from you and thank you for your generosity Becca.
My word for each day of this new year is Appreciate
I Would like to take time each day to truly appreciate the blessings that fill my life each day….even on a day that might seem less than perfect. …And as we journey further into recovering from hurricane sandy….instead of feeling overwhelmed…I’d like to appreciate how far we have come….even if we have only moved forward in tiny baby steps…..and above all…I will continue to appreciate the fact that I have lived each day….since 2004, with cancer…and am still blessed with a life that is fulfilling and minimally compromised….
And finally..i have to add….that it would be beyond thrilling to win this amazing blog candy!
Wishing you good and wonderful a things as this new year begins, Becca!
Today’s two words are THANK YOU! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Most importantly, thank you to God for blessing you with your wonderful personality, your talents in art and encouraging others and thank you to all those that I meet as they provide the daily lessons in living a Christian life. I also include those who may have other beliefs and live a life of meaning and helpfulness. Let us all have a blessed year!
Hi Becca,
I absolutely adore your blog, I have gained so much inspiration, and lost a good few pounds buying all the lovely items you use to make your beautiful projects…., and just when I mastered one of your techniques you come up with another one!….
I hope you continue to bring us lots more of your Wonderful Creations in 2014.
Hugz Kath from Scotland
I guess may word for today would have to be sound. I need a sound card for my computer so I can hear You Tube videos! (Of course the internet here is so slow that it takes about an hour to watch few minutes of video, but at least I would be able to hear them if I had a sound card)! Anyway, I’m not really in the running for today’s add on, because there isn’t any sense in subscribing to something I can’t watch, but I thought I’d add a new word anyway!
So happy you are adding and increasing chances to win. You are amazing Becca. Today after receiving a call from a friend, I need to add PATIENCE to my 2014 list. I must do better. God help me!
“Enjoyment” in living!! I don’t follow you on Youtube but I do look at your videos if I am looking for some hands on help with a project. Wonderful blog candy and know I would enjoy winning anything from you!
C’est un superbe lot là aussi, j’adore les dossiers d’embossage !
et mon mot du jour sera MERCI !
J’aime trop ce que vous faites et je vous suis partout, mail, FB et
Youtube, c’est ainsi que j’ai appris à me servir des Spellbinders !
Dommage que je ne comprenne pas suffisamment l’anglais
pour apprécier totalement.. comme par exemple pour les fichiers d’embossage 3d, ais-je bien compris qu’il faut vaporiser le papier ?
Je dois encore tester cette façon de faire.
Nous sommes tellement nombreuses à vous suivre, et même si
n’avons qu’une petite chance, en participant on vous remercie toutes
pour tout ce que vous partagez ! Bonne chance à chacune qui rêve de gagner ..
Hello again Becca and thanks for the great opportunity to win one of prizes. I tune each day to see your incredible art offerings so this is just an added bonus. Love you new sets at Just Rite and will be ordering them pronto!!
Unfortunately my word for the day is “diet”. Or maybe I should just say “healthy”. I’ve tried for the past two or three years to lose some fairly newly gained weight (so hard for someone who was small all their life) but I always seem to give up after just a little success and go back to my old ways so, this year my husband and I are going to do our best to try and stay with a healthier lifestyle. It’s so difficult since both of us are chocoholics and just love foods that are not so good for us such as bbq, good burgers and just about any other tasty food! We love to enjoy good restaurants and eat out and that makes it so easy to overeat. LOL! OK… blabbed enough!
Love your blog! You do such beautiful work. My word is “acceptance”. It’s not my job to change everything and everybody.
You have outdone yourself with these prizes! Thanks so much for another chance. I love your blog and look forward to each post!
You have a great blog! My word for the day has to be “Perseverance.” Body is really complaining today doesn’t want to do anything, but other half is down with a pulled muscle in his back so I need to do all the running and also take care of him. At least I’ll have more computer time and craft time.
Love your cards and stamps. Simply gorgeous. You inspire me to use the Spellbinders dies I have.
Ps my word for today is.. Gallus, a Scottish slang word meaning Stylish, Impressive , which is exactly what your work is!
Lady, you should have your own show on DIY or HGTV!
My word for today is “sassy”. I plan to make something whimsy and sassy today for a special friend.
I follow you on pinterest and subscribe to your blog through email. Now, YouTube is next.
Excited about this contest! Great give aways!!!!!!
Wow Becca, another great giveaway, those dies and folders are fantastic.
Been following you on YouTube for a while, love your videos.
Today’s word is BELIEVE, to believe that I can do what I set my mind to : )
What an awesome add-on. I’m new to die cutting and am just starting to buy some. Seeing all the beautiful cards on the blog hop with the other ladies have given me some ideas of what I would like to add. Your stamps and dies are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Becca,
Today my word is MOTIVATE….which is what you do to me! Thanks for all the great inspiration!
My word today is Gorgeous! Your cards are gorgeous and amazing.
Wow, I have your blog on my blogroll, and when I find those few moments to get on make sure to stop by… I cannot believe that I have missed so many days of “add-ons”… Today’s is so generous… I think COURAGE is a good word for 2014, it is so hard sometimes to have the courage to do what’s right or what we want and are so often held back by our fears or expectations of others…
Have a wonderful 2014!
Hugs, Antonella :-)
Hi Becca, today is the final blog candy offering…. What an amazing group of goodies you have for us today !!! I’m pretty sure I have covered all the bases… I subscribe to you via email, follow you on Pinterest and on You Tube…. I have my fingers crossed but, if my name is not one you pick that’s ok… I look forward to another amazing year of watching your artistry in cards unfold and grow. Thank You !!
The add-ons are awesome Becca! My word for the day is SERENE. I would like to keep this in mind when I go about my daily tasks.
Thank you for the opportunity to win BLOG candy. I love your website. it’s so inspirational.
Wowzers–what a fun package–thank you Becca for this opportunity.
Oh, Becca! I could have SO much fun with this Blog Candy!!! Would love to win it!
wow! love the card for today.
DONATE: I sew. I have stash of lots of fleece fabrics. The local animal shelters are asking for blankets to keep dogs warm. I also make doggie coats in several sizes. I will make blankets and doggie coats and donate to local shelters. Have already started on this project.
Thanks for a chance to win such awesome gifts. You are truly awesome, you inspire me when I feel like hanging up my stamps.
I love this. Love spellbinders and the details that they have made are awesome thanks for sharing and for the chance to win. PS I love all the cards you make they are Beautiful.
Hi Becca.
I wish you a happy new year! I love your Blog and your inspirations! Every day I wait for new things. It is great whow you use spewllbinders and other dies. Your cards are very elegant and your tetourials on youtube are fantastic.Greetings from Germany !
Encouragement! I receive this from your posts and hopefully share with others so we all grow…and how I would love to win any blog candy! Thank you for all your many blessings ;) ;).…..
Wow! Becca, your card is amazing as always! I would say my word for the day is present…as in live in the present. I have always struggled with this concept but this year I am going to try it! Thanks for the chance at such awesome giveaways!
I love anything Spellbinders. :) all of these are simply terrific and great items for card making. Wow
Today’s word is listen…it’s so important to be a good listener!
Loved your beautiful justrite card for today, TFS!
my word for today will be create
My word for today is SING! Singing makes me feel happy, comfortable and content! Those who don’t want to listen can leave the room! Lol!
My word would be confidence. Sometimes I don’t have the confidence in what I create and I always second guess myself.
I word or goal is organization.
My thought today is Motivate. You motivate me to do the best job that I can in making a beautiful card. I have learned so much from you and so appreciate getting your blog in my email every day. Thank You.
I know I’ve made 2 comments but have been sick in bed with the flu and think I might have missed a day. My 3rd word is grateful. For God, family, friends, blogs like yours to give me idea. It keeps my busy and that’s a good thing. Edna B.
Becca I would LOVE to win those spellbinders… what a fantastic giveaway! Thank you for being so generous!
COMPLETE most of the projects I have started. Note: I did not say all. ;-)
Creative. Want to spend more time creating in my art studio.
The word for today is learn. I want to learn to do some new things this year, whether it’s a new craft technique, recipe or another skill that will be helpful to others.
my word is SELF and it isn’t as selfish as it might seem. I lost my DH to a rare and aggressive cancer and I really depended on him for everything since I am disabled., so I am now learning to live alone with my SELF, learning how to pay bills, be more SELF reliant in finding ways and means to achieve the goals I need for my future which aren’t major by any means except to me. I need to plan for my SELF for the future in which I will be increasingly more disabled and I don’t want to be more of a burden for my children then I absolutely have to be. I need to find people who can help me meet my goals, maintain my house until I can sell it and move to somewhere easier for me to keep. so a little candy would sweeten my year.
Wow!!!!!!!! It just gets better and better, Becca! my word for today is ORGANIZE. I have enough paper, stamps and dies to last me the rest of my life! Need to organize them better so I can find them when I want to use them!
Wonderful is the word: Wonderful of you to be so generous to all of us! Thank you, Dear Lady!
My word fo today is “anticipation”. I am feeling much excitement in aticipation of all the new intros that are coming out soon and getting started with a new year of my own creations. Thank you, Becca, for your wonderful blog and all your fabulous ideas.
Hi Becca and THANK YOU for another Blog Candy “Add In” for today! To go along with what I just said, my word for today is “THANKFUL”. It’s always easy to be “thankful” when things are going our way but it is a little more difficult when life is not as rosy! One of my goals for this year is to be “thankful” every day and to look for the many blessings that come my way each day. Today it is snowing and a little cold, but I am “thankful” for the moisture and the beauty of snow! Sometimes I wish I lived in a climate where it is always warm, but then I realize how much I would miss the snow during the holidays. Happy SNOW day!
OH MY…what a generous person you are to be giving 1 lucky person the chance to win this amazing prize. I had to stop making cards in November as I had surgery on my hand. I’m waiting for the all clear to get started again. I acyually feel like I have withdrawals from not being in my craft room. Praying is my word as my usually messy room has been tidy since early November. God bless you.
Love to get surprises, hopefully blog candy.
Continued success in all you do, and many thanks for sharing your varied talents with all of us. HOPEFUL
Organization. That is the word I associate myself with this year. I have got to get craft room organized. I have been a follower of your blog and felt so blessed to have discovered it! I have learned so much. Thank you for sharing.
Today’s word is “patience” – sometimes life is overwhelming and it is so easy to get irritated and impatient with those around you, even your close loved ones. With a lot of stressful events in the next 6 months, I really want to be able to remain calm and patient (with God’s help).
Excellent! Thank you
I am a fan of your craft always :)
Hugs from Poland
My word for this year is JOY. I haven’t really experienced too much of that in my life the past few years, but this year I’m determined to be more JOYFUL! I’ve followed your blog for a few years now, and it’s always very inspiring! :)
As a beginner to card making, you have inspired me so much! Thank you!!!!
MORE ME TIME :)
FAITH – I can do ALL things through Christ
You continue to amaze me with your generosity and talent. You truly have been blessed with this awesome creativity that continues to be an inspiration. Although I don’t stamp daily, seeing your postings makes me want to continue this crafting.
Thank you, Becca!
Becca you have inspired me to TRUST my instincts more to branch out of my more simple style of cardmaking – especially when using ribbon and tying bows.
Blessings
Maxine
Live, Laugh and Love I believe those are my words for 2014. I plan on living this year to the most, health problem and am fighting all the way. Look forward to more of your newsletters and God Bless
Hola Becca mi palabra hoy es ILUSION por que este nuevo año me llene de salud para sacar adelante mis proyectos
Faith – renew and strengthen! Thank you Becca!
Wonderful prize. My next new word for this year is Steps. I want to remember that what I want to accomplish is done one step at a time.
Inspiration is my word for today!
I have the following on my wall: Each day comes bearing its gifts. Untie the ribbons.
Make each day an inspiration!
Spellbinders prize looks great. It is so much fun to create with beautiful things. Thanks for the opportunity.
Love today’s add-on. I attribute my love for Spellbinders to you. Thank you again.
I want to win!! Please choose me. Would make my year!
Love your work, it’s inspirational. Positive is my word. 2013 was a difficult year with my health issues and my Mom passing away. Looking forward with a positive attitude
Hi Becca,
not only do you excel in cards you excel in give-aways!!! My words for today are ‘enjoy my craft and have fun’.
Rene from OZ xo
Confidence is my word for today. I need to try new things and not just stick to the norm for me.The latest blog candy would be perfect to get me out of my comfort zone. Thank you again for all your inspiration!
Awesome blog candy. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This would be a great win. Thanks for the chance.
Love your blog. May you be blessed in 2014 xx My word is blessings…for all of us that craft!
Another most generous offering from you… thanks for the additional opportunity. I just spent some great happy time catching up on some of your YouTube postings as well as watching a few older postings to refresh my memory on some of your techniques. I appreciate the clarity of your tutorials, which inspire me to break out of my staid ways and habits. Am continuing my word-of-the-day collection for 2014… and today it is whimsy. I need to practice whimsy more in my daily life and my crafting pursuits after a few heavy duty years of trodding the treadmill with family and work concerns. The light is breaking through!
My fourth word choice for 2014 is Creativity. I am looking forward to a whole new year of inspiring card ideas from Becca, JustRite, and Spellbinders to use in creating my own cards!
Becca, This Spellbinders giveaway really gets one excited! The chance to win something like this is a delight for ones’ soul. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Another word for 2014 is ‘WINNER’…. even if my name is not drawn, I am still a winner for having found you on the internet. I really mean that.
Always, Julie
What a way for you to bust into 2014! Love the products that you use, but more importantly, I love how you make them all come to life. You have amazing talent and I am blessed to have you in my mail box almost daily.
You certainly have your Get Up and Go on!! Hugs
Contribute – not money but your time. It doesn’t have to be a charity. Maybe a neighbor or friend need someone to run an errand or anything
to help. Thanks for the chance to win.
My word today is PRAYER. I love the spiritual tones that so many of your cards have. Your faith comes through loud and clear in your selection of stamps and we really appreciate it. As I get older it seems that my prayer list gets longer each day. Right now I am praying that I win that Spellbinders Artisan Explorer. It would be a great addition to my craft room and I need another hobby — jewelry making!
Hi Becca, after hours of researching school information on The Crucible, it is refreshing to come to your blog. This blog candy is the best yet, and I hope I win it. Thanks greatly.
Becca I love your utubes they show exactly how you do things and have gone over and over them till I get it right.Thank you and my word for today is Thanks
Hugs Trish.
Happy New Year! My word to concentrate on in 2014 is to stay “positive” no matter what! You always seem upbeat and positive and your faith is strong. Very encouraging to read your blog and follow your beautiful creations. I don’t expect to win but want to thank you. So, THANKS!
Hi Becca
My word is passionate. I love cardmaking and follow your blog every couple of days. You have the most beautiful ideas for your cards and after seeing what you make I just have to try it. My only problem is I live in Australia and often the stamps etc that you use are not available here. I am coming to U.S. in August for the US Open and was wondering if you have a store that I could visit. I am particularly interested in your stamps. I have never seen such beautiful sentiments expressed in stamps as the ones on your cards and would just love to get my hands on them. You are a beautiful person which I know even though I have never met you because it is expressed through the sentiments in your cards. Keep up the wonderful work that you do.Love always from down under.
Hi Becca how may wonderful gifts,can one person offer to give away,you are one special lady,personly l would just love to win one of you cards,hugs linda . my word for today is gracefull.
My word for the year today is GENEROUS.
In other words, I need to be more like you!! Thank you again for the chance to win!
Wow, Becca, you are definitely “amazing” and so generous. I agree with Linda about winning one of your gorgeous creations. Thanks for all the inspiration you share. My word for today is “Happy” or “Happiness”.
What a beautiful new stamp and card that you have designed! I love the delicate design. It is also quite different from most which is always great. Keep it up.
Another word for 2014 is persevere.
I love your posts as well. Thanks for your upbeat words and gorgeous cards! You’re truly a blessing to many. :-)
I am starting a journal to help keep me ORGANIZEd.. A place to put my thoughts, my plans, my dreams, even to-do lists (I love those!!!).
wow, look at all the great comments.
More blog candy?!! Thank you. Another word for 2014 patience- that is a biggie for me!!
Surely these are SWEET blog candies!!
Hi there, these are some great give always. I love coming to your blog and absolutely adore your work. Even though I do not comment very often, I try to pop in at least once a week to catch up.
My word (sorry I am cheating a little) is ‘Slow down!” I know that it is two words, but technically its one thing, so I figure it counts. :)
Hugs from a scorching hot South Africa
My word for today is Patience – with myself and others.
My word is GIVE – I take a lot, and need to remember that giving is a trait I want to remembered by. I guess another word would be PATIENCE. As I get older, I seem to lose it more often than not. I like what you said LET GO! I’m praying I can do that during the next month vacationing with my husband. I need to give hime more, and let go of the stuff that’s closing in on us. I love him dearly. I’d appreciate prayer for us during our “car-bound” hours between here and our destinations. Your gifts to us are wonderful, even if my number doesn’t get pulled (or name either) Thanks Becca
Oooooohhhhhh, I love Spellbinders dies. I love this blog candy and your work. I find your cards very inspiring.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win these great gifts!!
After a really bad meeting, my word for the day is “good” as in try to focus on the good that came from it and don’t dwell on the bad.
Your card today is AWESOME!! (as usual).
My word for today is SHARE. I need to share more of myself and my time. Mainly I need to share my love of Christ more. Speaking of sharing thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us every day. You are truly an inspiration.
Becca,
Not sure if I follow you on YouTube yet! But I’ll leave a comment anyway. It’s snowing here today and it’s just wonderful to be reading your blog and watching the beautiful snow come down. Another word I’d like to add for 2014 is RELAX. Life can be so busy with work and family, so it’s always nice to take those days to relax! Hope you are having a lovely day!
Thanks again!
Love all the blog candy. Am subscribed to you on YouTube.
I think I need to learn to be a little more patient this year. Find myself getting a little too frazzled about things lately.
Hi Becca!
My word for today is LOVE!! Because to love others is to love God. Thanks to the fact that you love others, you share your gift of creativity with us.
Today’s word isThankful To many too list More each day.
Wow, this gets better by the day, please pick me. :)

My word today is actually 2 time management!!!!!!!! I am working on a happy dose of this this year. I am going to try not to take on more then I can comfortably manage this year. Would love to slow the pace a bit, after all, I am not getting any younger here!!!!! LOL Life is good and I plan to enjoy it – moment to moment.
Marcie
GENEROUS! Is what you are, Becca. thank you for your inspiration and generosity.

I think my word for today would be blessings. I am going to try to count my blessings more this year than in the past. You are a great inspiration in that category. Keep us going.
Thankful is my word for today. I have sooooo much to be thankful for today!
Becca, I love your blog and all the gorgeous cards that you share with us. I view your blog as eye candy. I want to own all of the dies and stamps that you use to make those beautiful cards. You continue to inspire me to let my creative juices flow naturally. Peace and love be with you as you travel on this journey.
Hi Becca,
Pretty wonderful stuff you are giving away. I’d love to have any of it.
I hope I’ve left my comments on the right day! Thanks.
Progress is my word for today and for the year. It’s a need to keep at winnowing the ‘stuff’ collected for 20 years in this home. It’s my desire to downsize and so it’s a MUST to clear out unnecessary materials and I don’t want to Have to do it after a final date has been determined. It’s my goal to do it in a measured way for a comfort level of not feeling pushed or desperate.
After seeing your new post today with the beautiful card…I chose…beautiful as my word for today. This world is filled with so many beautiful things,,,,if we just stop for a moment…take in everything around us…God has provided such beauty for our enjoyment…there are so many who rarely get a chance to see any of this beauty…for instance…those who can not see…those of us who can see are so very blessed…share something beautiful with someone today…just as you have shared your beautiful card with all of us today! What a joy and delight!
Organization is my word. Also you are Awesome Becca. What wonderful Blog Candy. Thanks for the chance to win it!!! Happy New Year!
Relaxed is my word for today. I will try to be less anxiety prone and learn to relax and let things go. Love your blog Becca!
Amazing is my word for the day. I am always amazed to see your beautiful creations. Thank you so much for sharing!
My word commitment applies to all you do. Your creations are exquisite.
Healthier is my word for 2014. Thank you for sharing your creativity. God bless your new year.
Another word for 2014 is “expand”. Not my waistline, LOL, but my creativity. I need to look at my tools and supplies and not do the same old thing–try new techniques and styles. Your add-on is just amazing! I have some Spellbinders and would love to have these added to my collection. I just love this company’s products! Thank you so much for the chance to win!
Health is a major concern of mine this year. Have been off of work for almost two years due to rotator cuff tear and I sooo miss flying the skies. Mwooohoooo…embossing folders..we all need those..
I am new to your blog…very lovely! I hope to make more time for stamping this year…and use more dies!
I am so envious of your card-making style! I am so glad that I discovered your blog and I can learn from you.
OH my goodness, I love the blog candy and the add-ons have made even more delious. , I hope I win.
Thanks, Becca for all your inspiration.
“Persistant” Am I dumb, persistant, or just plain stubborn to give this post? The lucky winner is certainly going to be one of the chosen few! This only goes to show how many people follow you, Becca! We all appreciate the talent you so graciously share.
You INSPIRE US & NOW, you’re ORANIZING US!!!!!!!! LOL THANKS BECCA!!!!!!!!! :)
My last word is KINDNESS- be kind to myself and others. It may go without saying but I find that, at least for myself, I push myself really hard and and can entertain negative self talk more than I’d like. Being KIND and just being- not pushing or having to do. Crafting is a kindness to me because it keeps imd in the moment, is usually a token or gift for someone else- so I put lots of positive thoughts and love into it. Thanks for this exercises of four words and for the wonderful inspirations and blog candy offerings. So blessed to follow your blog.
This blog candy just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter! You know, Becca, I used to look at many card-making blogs each day but now that I don’t have much time on my hands I have quit looking at all of them except yours. The beauty and inspiring sentiments of your cards keeps me coming back!
Today my word is Forgiveness. Holding on even to justified hurt serves only to fill us with anger and bitterness. I CHOOSE to just let it go by giving it to God
What a great candy blog If I am the lucky one it would be a great birthday present. My birthday is that day! My word for 2014 is encouragement Thanks Jean
Hi Everyone! Today, my word for 2014 is ‘ACT’. Thinking about change is good, but in order for it to work, I have to ACT on it! In my earlier posts, I wrote how I attended a conference and it motivated me to improve both myself and my circumstances…I decided that I wanted to WIN (word for Day 1) in my efforts to reach my goals. I QUESTIONED (word for Day 2) what wasn’t working in my job and what I would need to do. I needed to CHANGE (word for Day 3), and for me, that meant changing jobs. As scary as it is, we must accept change and be able to adjust to it. I knew what I needed to do; it was time to ACT. Instead of waiting for something to change my life, I went looking to do it myself. I found a job with better pay ans better benefits! If I didn’t ACT on my plan, I’d still be in the same old boat.
Thanks for the chance to win some awesome blog candy. You are such an inspiration to me. Can’t wait to see your next creation.
Keep it simple
I love your designs Becca. I look forward to each of your posts and continue to be amazed at what beautiful things you turn paper into! I can only hope to continue to grow with my craft to be even a little like you! Thank you for sharing and inspiring,
My one word is Inspire.
“RELEASE” your troubles to the Lord, he wants to handle them!
Appreciate – I so appreciate you and all you do with your cards they are beautiful and the most wonderful sayings which would brighten those who would receive such a beautiful card.
Appreciate You

Thank you Becca, you are so kind! I visit your blog everyday anyways, no need to offer any giveaway to have me here!
Also I would like to let you know that you have inspired me in so many ways. Specially after reading your early posts, I finally got the courage to open my own blog, showing my humble creations, something I have had in my mind for so long. THANK YOU for that.
Very pretty card Becca…you do such nice work! TFS
Another word for 2014 is THANKFUL…don’t want to take anything for granted and the best way for me to do that is to remember to be thankful for the Lord’s blessings day by day. I am thankful for YOU!
Hugs,
Jan
Appreciate…everything that everyone does for me!
Positive
I want to have a more positive attitude — I slip into the negative too easily.
I missed yesterday but know someone will love the cases. I love the looks of todays add-on. :)
My 4th word for this year is: HOUSEKEEPING. I´m an RA patient. Crafting is indeed somewhat challenging for my hands, but the dishes… Now that is challenging! lol I don´t like it, uh oh…
So I have to find some sort of new organization system to keep my house in better shape. Don´t get me wrong, I do the best I can, BUT I know I could do it better.
Thank You Lord Jesus for your mercy, that´s all I have to say! :)
Becca
My word for today has to be Amazing because you give the
most AMAZING blog candy ever.
Thank you so much
Spellbinders dies are terrific blog candy. My word for today is “greatful”.
Becca, When I open up my e-mail and I see that you had posted something on your blog, that is usually the first email I look at. You have some of the best ideas on the web. Love everything you create. Hugs x
I love your cards and I think that you are very talented. Thank you for offering the blog candy. My word for 2014 is FEARLESS. I’m not going to let fear hold me back this year from doing some things that I have wanted to do for awhile now.
Looking forward to seeing your amazing talents in 2014. Blessings!
Happy New Year! I have just recently discovered the joys of using dies to create cards. I discovered your blog when searching for some samples for inspiration. I admire your style and creativity. My word for 2014 is “Style”.
I’m new to your blog. Not even sure how I got here, but I’m glad I found you. Love your cards and I’ll be snooping around on Pinterest for some time. 2014 word would be patience. My hubby is losing his short term memory and it becomes very trying after repeating the same thing over and over. So, I’m going to have to be more patient.
Wow, wow, wow…all these spellbinder items are added in…Holy Hanna what a prize that is ….Thanks so much Becca for all you do…
Big hugs…
Thanks again, Becca, for offering such great candy! I’ll keep my fingers crossed. My last choice for a word for this year…”friendship.” I need to work on taking very good care of my existing friendships and cultivate new ones. We come in contact with so many wonderful people. Its a shame that we can’t get to know each and every one of them. I’ll do my best!
Oh my goodness!!!! I would really love to win one of those awesome goodies Rebecca!!!
I am enjoying reading everyone’s words!! May we all have a happy, healthy and crafty new year.
My word for today is FAMILY. Just returned home after spending an amazing Christmas with our youngest son and his family and a wonderful New Year’s with our oldest son and family. I realize how blessed we are to have family in our lives and what joy they bring us each and every day even when we don’t see them for long intervals of time. Family is truly what life is all about,
I’ve been following your blog for some time and I love all the great cards you make. Your work is so gorgeous. I think one word for this year is patience. Patience with myself, others and my art. I need to have the patience to keep working on something even if I think It won’t turn out. Often it looks great the next day.
FAMIY is my word, I just noticed that I didn’t sign in as “BethE” above and that is the name I always use on your site, Becca! Just tired from our long drive home…
For some reason it is not excepting my usual name1 My word is still
FAMILY.
Dear Becca, what an inspiration you are to me. Every day I look to see what new project you have been working on and each one is more beautiful than the last. Thank you so much for the chance to win some wonderful gifts.May God richly bless you in this New Year. Susan

Love the dies and templates! And, believe it or not, I don’t have any of them! Now, that’s not necessarily a good thing OR a bad thing! LOL
Just means I have lots more to add to MY stash!!!
My next word is “Hope”. I hope the best for everyone this year. I hope for a blessed year for my family and I. God is so great and I HOPE he sees the effort I am making to live for him.
Thanks for another change to win something.

I cant think of another word but I sure like the stamps you had made for Justrite. soooo pretty!!
Awesome “candy”!
My word today is life. We must learn to embrace every single day that we are given and fill them with love, family and friends. We must stop wishing our lives away, like on Monday mornings wishing it was Friday. Life is how we create our art!
Today my word is patience. I want to have more patience with my family and with myself. Keeping this word constantly in my head will make it for my heart to develop a patience attitude. Thanks for all your encouragement!
My word is LOVE! Loving my God first, my family and friends. Sharing this love to everyone I meet. If we could all learn to love what a beautiful world we would have. You, Becca are love!!!

My word is simple – hope.

My word for today is creative. I hope to look for ways to be creative, look for creative ideas, and see how I might share my creativity with others.

Wow, I am just beside myself with these 4 wonderful prizes. I would love any one of these. :D
My 4th word today is to Celebrate – celebrate God in my life, my family, friends and the beauty in all things. So my goal is to send my family and friends cards for birthday’s or just because. I do send cards and as I have good intention I sometimes forget to mail or I send them late. :( So my goal is to mail these on time. :D
Thank you
Deborah
Becca, I want to say thank you for hosting this wonderful give away. The prizes are just amazing as well as how much you inspire us all with your lovely cards. :D
Deborah
My word is SHARE as it is what you teach! I made over 70 cards to share with love last year, and your designs and my spellbinders were a great help! thank you!
My word for you for today is “amazing”. It is truly amazing what you do with different dies. God has truly blessed you with this wonderful talent.
Thank you for sharing and giving us a sight into what can happen with Gods help. Here’s wishing you a very happy new year and all the prosperity that comes with this year.
Hi Becca!
Thank you for your beautiful inspiration and for your awesome tutorials!
Thank you for the chance to win! My word for this year is hope.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
EMBRACE as in embrace life, embrace friends & family, embrace new experiences, embrace challenges.
My word for today – appreciation. I plan to be more verbally appreciative in 2014. What warms our heart more than hearing a compliment, or being thanked. By the way, Becca, LOVE your new JustRite products. I’m going there to place my order as soon as I sign off here.
That basket get better and better all the time, I have already ordered the new justrite products and can’t wait, they are beautiful.
Fun stuff!
Sweet! That’s the word for the card and a good word for the new year…to be as SWEET as I can be. After all, it’s a lot easier (most times, anyway). Thanks, Becca, for your wonderful blog and inspiration.
I’ve always enjoyed your posts Becca. You have faced some ups and downs that you have shared with us but you still manage to lift and inspire yourself and others. That would be my word for 2014, INSPIRE.
Ter ;)
Today my word is THANKFUL. I’m thankful for how God has blessed me this past year. It’s easy to take the little things in life for granted, like good health, good friends, a home and family, and even the ability to get on this blog. They’re actually blessings from God. I’m thankful for them every day.
My word for today is VICTORY! This year I live in expectation of having VICTORY over every circumstance I encounter. Failure and fainting under pressure will not be an option!
Hello Becca! My word for the New Year is MORE….I wish for more time, more sleep, more crafting, more energy, more productivity, to make more comments to my favorite blog….MORE of many many things!! I am blessed to have a job I enjoy, but the hours I work are extreme. I wish for MORE help, which will then enable to achieve MORE of the other wishes! Thank you for sharing your many wonderful talents! I want to see MORE!!
I subscribe to your You Tube channel and have watched many of your videos more than once. They are very helpful. You have such good ideas and present them in an easy to follow way.
My second word for this year is control. I need to get back in control of the many things I have let slide. I have found in the past that when I get control over one aspect of my life, other areas fall into line.
Thank you for all your wonderful blog candy.
My word for today would be: Hope. I need this so much in my life right now. My biggest hope is for good health for my daughter, who is going through so much physical pain right now. Hope for peace for my son, who is going through a messy divorce, hope to accept what I cannot change. I am in so much need of hope that all turns out alright for my children. Thank you for your continued inspiration, creativity and HOPE in the phrases you use when making your cards!
My word is Gratitude. Years ago my sister told me to start a gratitude journal. I only did it one year, but several times since then, I have opened the journal and read what I was grateful for that year. I am doing something different this year and instead of the everyday blessings that I am grateful for, I am writing down the extraordinary things I am grateful for and putting in a jar which I plan to open up on January 1st next year.
I follow every media you offer. One thing I am grateful for is your inspiration!! I think I will add that to my jar!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some GREAT prizes.!
Hi Becca my word for today is relax,hugs linda
Hi Becca,
I have been subscribed to you on Pinterest for a while now – I love this site and it’s really interesting to see what inspires YOU! My second word for the year is Organisation to accompany my first word Time. If I can organise work, home and volunteering better then I will have more time for family and, hopefully, crafting!
I often watch your videos on You Tube so my 3rd word is Thanks – for sharing your amazing talent and to all crafters who share and enrich others through their creativity.
My word today Becca must be GRATITUDE for all the wonderful things you´re sharing with us here every day all year around. All your wonderful talent and gorgeous ideas and always sooo helpful with any problems we may run into, then you´re always there to help.
You´re a truly amazing woman sweet friend, and I wish I was like you.
Have a wonderful day.
Fourth word: Forgiveness….for myself and everyone else. We all make mistakes, I am not perfect, so I must learn to forgive myself, but also others for past hurts.
Thankful for all of the wonderful things u do, sharing the wonderful idea’s
and most of all giving to us thank you
My word for the day is endurance.
My last word for 2014 is: THANKFUL
Enjoy your blog so much. Your creativity is amazing. Thank you.

Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams
Productive. That’s my word for 2014. I follow on your blog, Pinterest, and YouTube. Just can’t get enough of your inspiring work. Thank you for the chance to be a part of the prize offerings. It’s most generous of you.
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful projects with us! Blessings to you in the new year. I want to TRUST God for His leading and good plans for me in 2014.
Focused is my word for today. Have a plan, follow through, and stay focused on my goal. Being retired is a blessing and a curse. I can always say I’ll do it tomorrow, because I can. Let’s get at it today!! Love your blogs and your beautiful cards. Your style is like no other!!!
I aspire.
You inspire.
You are a beautiful person Becca doing beautiful things.
Bless you.
The word for today is “REJOICE”. I am so thankful for each day that we are given and rejoice that we fulfilled another year and into another one. I would like to be more productive this year than last since I’ve now retired, I think I might be able to accomplish that goal. I wish you a very healthy and blessed year and thanks again for sharing your thoughts and talents.
Good morning Becca:
It’s nice to ‘see’ you more often! Today’s word: joy, finding joy in all of God’s blessings.
Take care,
Jean.
Today’s word is “SNOW”. We woke to the ground covered in snow and it is still snowing. I know a lot of people don’t like snow but I do. I remember waking up as a child and finding 12″ of snow on the ground. We would sled and snowmoblile. I love seeing the sun reflect off the snow and it looked like diamonds are on the ground. No sun today yet! :( It makes me feel like a kid again when I see snow. Thanks for the blog candy Becca!
My word would be organization. I would be able to do a lot more crafting if my workroom didn’t look like a tornado hit it all the time.
Move forward, and create more is what I want to do in 20014. Hope you have a fantastic day and it continues through out the New Year! Thank You!
Yesterday I was so busy (I’m still on vacation in NY) I was unable to add a comment. So, today I’m adding to words: fierce and bold!
Thanks again for the chance to win this awesome prize and thank you for all your wonderful inspiration! My word for today is ‘simplicity’. I tend to over-think things and I have to keep reminding myself to keep it simple.
Hi Becca, my word for today is time. I need to better organize my time, so I can better balance my time with things I need to do, and things I want to do. I think I will write up a schedule, for each ay, and try to stick to it.
Beautiful is my word today. That says in one word what your cards always are, keep doing these beautiful pieces of artwork for all of us.
Today’s word has got to be grateful. I am grateful for my family and friends they truly pull you through thick and thin. I want to keep this word in the forefront of my mind as I go through the year.
Thanks Becca for making me really think through each day a word that I will make sure to use this year. What a journey.
Thanks for the chance to win Becca! I love you blog and your creativity!
My word for today is effort. I want to put more effort into my physical and mental health. Without good health our quality of life is diminished and I am realizing this more and more.
There’s no other for today but “brrrrrrrrrrrr.” Sorry, my mind does not innovate in this frozen state. Sounds like an “organize” day.
Becca, your card today is inspiring; ordering that stamp set after this post!!
My word for today is GRATITUDE. Im grateful for life, for the beauty in it, for family and friends, for love and to be able to partake in viewing everyone’s wonderous creativity. Im grateful in the learning of various techniques everyone shares on all the great blogs I visit to be able to recreate that beauty for those that I hold dear. Thank you.
My word for today is FOCUS. Focus on what’s important in life and don’t sweat the small stuff. Thanks Becca for all the wonderful blog candy that you are offering, I appreciate having an opportunity to win some great prizes.
My word yesterday was ‘UTILISE’ and with this in mind, we are determined to use up items in our freezers, so I’ve started a booklet listing foods stored and their dates. Hence today’s word is ‘ORGANISE’.
Hugs
Anne (UK) x
THANKFUL. Thank you Becca for your wonderful creations and sharing it all with us.
Happy Sunday to you.And thanks for the chance to win give away.My word for today is spiritual,as I want to make sure I listen the whispering of Heavenly Father so I will be in tune with him.
Blessings Jocelan
love – create some of the projects I see on your website and others I find on Pinterest the I love.
Another word for 2014 is fitness. Got some of my workout wish list goodies and I”m ready to be a fit and firm mama in her fifties :)
Well, it’s the last day of your blog candy entries. So my word for today is “calm”. There are so many terrible things in this lousy world to upset us these days and I have already been trying to not let these things get to me, so I will continue this year working on staying calm… although the worse things get the harder that will be.
Vacation
Detailed teaching is the word for today. I would like to try new ideas and I can’t wait to receive my Heirloom die. It is backordered, but waiting with excitement to try the ideas you have shared.
The last word in mind for 2014 is to communicate. To be a better communicator so that there are less misunderstanding and thus less stress for me in life…
“Create” more beautiful paper crafts.
My word for today is APPRECIATE. Especially the little things my husband does for me. He’s the best!
My word for today is VERSATILE…………having many uses. Becca posts wonderful examples of just how versatile our die and stamps can be if we only take the time to visualize how each can be combined with beautiful papers, ribbons, and bling to achieve a myriad of card designs! My goal in 2014 is to make my stash more “versatile!!”
More great blog candy. What a happy start to the new year. I have always appreciated the work you do. I have learned so much about creative uses for Spellbinders Dies. Thanks so much for a chance to win.
Becca, you are so wonderful to give everyone a chance to win such wonderful craft goodies! My word today is SMILE! It is so easy to do. It can cheer anyone up, and it doesn’t cost anything. I think that a smile is a natural way to make a friend, to help someone’s blues go away, and it can help you from getting wrinkles to boot!!! Such a wonderful thing.
Keep Smiling
Dutch
Learn…I have a lot of learning to do in my life. Spiritually and mentally. Learning to love, care, and respect myself.
Thank you for all that you for all the creativity you share with us! I’m also going to learn to be more creative. :)
Lorie
Happy New Year, Becca! My word for today is SIMPLIFY! I want to make things simpler in my life. Pare down, reduce stress and shoot for “good enough” instead of killing myself for perfect.
As always, thanks for the chance at the blog candy and for the beautiful ideas you share with us.
Becca…..thank you so much for all the inspiration you give. Just reading all the comments I see that you inspire many. You have shown me so many uses for my spellbinders. I truly appreciate the time you take to make your tutorials, I have learned so much.
AWESOME!
Another day another chance! Yeah! My word for today is “chance” – take chances, even if I have to do it with my eyes closed! Lol
Low the cards in today’s hop posting! I need to go shopping!
Word for the day: THANKFUL. Be thankful to god for being able to do my card making. Another word would be CONTROL as your control to be patient when you lost your ctrl key from your laptop. Sorry this is two words, but they both fit so perfectly to you. Also, Becca, thank you for the truly amazing gift you are about to bestow on some lucky recipient. This would be awesome for me to win as when I loose electricity (which I often do in the winter time) I could still use this machine as it is not electric. But who ever wins will really appreciate your thoughtful gift. We all love your designs. Was looking at your post for today and how you turned the dies over and it make such a gorgeous design that way too. Here’s wishing you the best for 2014 and God Bless.
My word for day 5 is moving. Thank you again for showing all your beautiful cards
One last word for the New Year – “Complete”. So many things I have started and never completed. I have so many projects I have started but just never finished, so many ideas that I never followed up on. Not just with my crafts, but things I have wanted to do for others, reaching out and showing I care. These are the most important ones that I need to complete.
Beautiful cards this morning. What a difference color makes! LOVE
Experiment! Try new products & techniques. You are such an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. You “amaze” us with your fantastic & precise work.
Acceptance : I am going to work on being content in who I am. As a Christian I believe I should set the example of behavior for others to want to follow and being happy with who I am in this moment is important to my Christian walk. Thanks Becca for sharing all your special gifts with us and being a great example.
My word for this final day is “Satisfy”, as in complete what is started, satisfy commitments to self and others, be thankful and pleased with everything, the list tied to this word could go on and on…… Thank you again, Becca, for your fabulous blog and for providing the opportunity for us to ponder this upcoming new year.
How do you ever keep all this straight? I so enjoy seeing the cards you make! They are so wonderful and I so wish I could make some that would compare! LOL Anyway, my 5th word for my year is gonna be SLEEP!!!! I need all I can manufacture! LOL
fresh is my word for the year. like fresh start.
My word is create… I don’t feel complete unless I can be creative!
Loved the Beautiful Justrite cards you posted today… your such an inspiration!!!
Wishing you a very creative year ahead!
Hugs
PS thank you for a chance to win some fabulous blog candy!
Love both the new cards…especially the verses……today my word is…time…..wee are here at this point in time……to make the most of our time….each evening reflect on the day that is almost over….make a schedule for the next day of how you want to use your time for the next day…make time for others, even if it is just a phone call to someone who might need encouragement or just to let them know you care! Use time wisely….we can never reclaim time that has already passed!
Hi Becca,
LOVE all your postings and your cards. Got the Just Rite catalog for Christmas and love seeing your work in there as well….and happy to say I have most of “your” creations they show….yay. Would love to win! THANK YOU for all you do for us beginners…
Oops…forgot….my word for today is ORGANIZED. I’m planning on getting more of my crafting area organized this year.
Thought I would post another entry. You never know. LOL!
Tidier would be another word I need to take on board this year!
My word for today is Learn, never stop learning. Read the Bible and learn how to be more like Jesus, learn to create-read this blog and be inspired to create beautiful cards for our loved ones. Thanks and beautiful cards today and always!
Love seeing all your beautiful Spellbinders creations. They always inspire me to try something new.
Because I have such big plans & ideas for 2014, my word is “productive”.
Love the cards you posted today with the Just-Rite stamps. Today my word is thankfulness. I broke a glass pan full of gravy on my stove today. I could have been severely burned and the Lord protected me once again from myself. Not a drop of the gravy splattered on me! The Lord reminded me that it is easy to be thankful for the bigger things, but we need to be just as thankful for the small things. I love your blog. Not only do you inspire us, but you cause us to reflect on life itself!
The cards are beautiful as always! I wish I could get a connection into your natural ability for creation, but appreciate your sharing it with us. My word today is COLD, because the weather forecast is for an extreme change in temperature in my area. Not looking forward to that, but it might be a good excuse to stay in and get creative!
My word for today is: PLAN. I need to remember that God has a plan for my life – and it usually is not my plan.
I would so love to be a winner in this giveaway.
Well, thank you for making me think about specific words to live by for 2014. Really made me think! For this last one, I think it shall be CELEBRATE! Celebrate each moment of life and what God has given us. Celebrate memories, my mother whom I miss dearly. Celebrate our beautiful daughters that God gave us! Well, again, thank you for the chance to win! Would be a great birthday gift on the 8th! Will be celebrating my birthday that day with my beautiful sister, niece and daughters! God bless you!
Today I want to focus on one of my words for 2014 and it is family. Family is so very important to me. I have 8 grandchildren, 3 daughters and their sweet husbands. Being widowed, it is comforting to know that they check on me, include me and help me in every way. My sons-in-law make sure that I don’t need anything. I want to return the love they show me by being kind and considerate of them. We are a close family and everyday I thank God for them.
Becca,
Thank you again for the opportunity to win some great blog candy! My word for today, for 2014 is going to be Family. My family is so important to me and I would like to focus as much attention to them as I can this year! My darling husband, my son and daughter-in-law, my lovely daughter, two grandsons, my mother (who has had some major health issues this year), and my siblings. Family, family, family!! :-)
Thanks so much!
Toni
My word for today will be ‘optimism.’ I’m going to continue to be optimistic through 2014.. I’ve been fortunate all my life and I see no reason to doubt that will change. There is always change of one sort or another it seems, but change is not necessarily to be considered an ill wind. I read Joy’s entry above and there are parallels with my situation and I relate to everything she has said. I thank God for the good life He has provided me.
SLEEP
Get more sleep, take naps on weekend.
I don’t have a word for this year, but so far I’m loving MOMENT. This moment that I am living needs to be recognized and not wasted. And I can be thankful for this moment. Amazing giveaways, Becca!
Ambition. That’s the word for today. Got to get myself up and going and get things done and not just dawdle. It’s easy to do that when you are retired. The card you posted today was just gorgeous. You must have the patience of a saint to cut those fancy dies and have to pick out all the pieces. Even with waxed paper, I still have a time with it. They still stick in the die. Hoping to win one of your great prizes.
Thanks so much for the beautiful cards you share with us. I love the inspiration. I think an important word for this year is “grateful.” I am so very grateful to so many for so very much. I hope to improve on expressing my gratefulness in the new year.
My word today is “grateful”. I am grateful that there are wonderful people like you, Becca, that are willing to share your beautiful cards and projects. Grateful for the chance to win some great prizes. Hugs.
Thank you for the chance to win your beautiful prize. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi Becca,
My other word for 2014 is Reach-out. That may or may not be classed as 1 word but it is something very important to us all. We need to reach-out to others and also reach-out to ourselves. Whether this is through card making and crafting, by deeds or kind thoughts it is something precious. From reading your blog more and more you reach-out to so many people and that contact is so valued – thank you x
Becca have a great day. My last word will have to be” accepting”
My last word for this is: Grace. Be grace-full in what I make – pray blessings into each project, pour love into it. The receiver will be able to tell. Yup, Grace.
Word today is happy. Thanks so much for sharing all your lovely work.
Hello, Becca – my last word is kindness. I am so grateful for the blessings in my life – my 3 wonderful children and their spouses; and my 5 incredible grandchildren who bring so much joy to my life. I’d like to “pay it back” in 2014 by extending kindness to others – as you so graciously extend to all of us.
Good evening Becca! After much thought, my word for today is “sweet”. I’ve been thinking about the Blog Candy and this just seems appropriate. What an interesting phrase, Blog Candy; it really is a “sweet” treat for anyone. But there is really another reason I chose this word today and it’s because I have an absolutely wicked “sweet” tooth when it comes to certain candies. Chocolate is my favorite; it doesn’t matter what’s inside the chocolate, or what covers it! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! I only let myself ignore this weakness during the holidays and with today being the last day of the holidays for me, I guess it’s time to get back to reality. Congratulations to whoever wins the Blog Candy!
My word for 2014 is complete/completion…. complete projects, complete tasks, complete cleaning, complete organizing… ok maybe I won’t get those last two done, but if i complete the projects and tasks, it will surely help on the cleaning and organizing… Happy New Year, may all your resolutions be completed!
PS i just found you through Spellbinders. Love your work!
In 2014 the word that I hope to run through all I do is serve. I will be on the lookout for opportunities to serve others and bless them.
Blessings
For the final day of this Candy Blog, my word for 2014 is ‘REFLECT’. After questioning, changing, and taking action, I want to be able to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and if things did work, start again with questioning, asking myself what I can do to make things even better…
And my final word for this wonderful post is Persevere. I will try that every single resolution is constant through all year long.
TY Becca. Hope I win. (The last add-on) LOL
My word for 2014 is Family…we must ever forget our family because they will be with us always!
My word for today is grateful. I’m so grateful for my family, my friends, my pets, my health, and all the wonderful crafters out there who lead the way and give me inspiration ( and tutorials! ) for my projects. Your cards are always so inspirational and elegant, Becca.
My word for today and the future is ‘LOVE’.
One of our elderly, much loved and loving dogs seems to be close to the end of his last walk on earth and I am typing this through tears. He has been part of our family for nearly 15 years and has brought such joy.
I am reminded that we should never miss an opportunity to tell those dear to us that we love them and that we should be ambassadors and ambassadresses for love in this world as shown by our loving Saviour.
Sending love to you, Becca, and wishes for all good things in this new year.
Hugs

Hi Becca: this past weekend I started putting together a Kaisercraft 9 drawer cubby and finished decorating it to give to my girlfriend for her birthday. I started the new year crafting with a bang and thanks to all your inspiring ideas I intend to continue doing so and getting my craftroom all organized (started in Dec and I actually have a table top once more :p) ). I am half way there now and feel so much better. Love and hugs to you.

My word today is family. With my family behind me I feel that I can accomplish anything.
I’ve got two words today. First, patience. My computer is not liking how many responses you have to this blog candy opportunity. About halfway down the list, the messages start blurring together. I’m lucky the comment section is free and clear, LOL. So I have to be patient with my computer and maybe show it more love, hahaha. My second word is anticipation. The new year stretches out before us and there is so much to look forward to. A clean slate, so to speak. I have a lot of things I’m anticipating for this year, and that’s a good thing!
My word for today is PEACE. I’m learning to pray until the peace comes.
Love the add-ons! “Empowerment” is my word. I also want to get organized this year. I’ve started sorting out the craft rooms and already feel energized and ready to tackle some creative projects. Thanks for all your inspiration and wonderful ideas. I look forward to your posts and never miss one! :-).
Kindness
I want to be kinder to those who are difficult. Who knows what battles they are facing?
“Understanding”. Trying to be more understanding for family and friends. Sending them cards and good wishes to cheer them. Cards for Birthdays and holidays. Hugs.
are we still doing word of day? if so mine is family, keep God first then family!!! Love my family soooo much!
Thanks so much for all your kindness… Janis
Happy New Year, Becca! Enjoy your blog very much!
You’re so very generous! Happy New Year to you!
