I have double play blog candy going on right now. Click HERE to go to the post to leave a comment to enter.


Peeking in to say hi to you today!  I wanted to share a gift that was sent to me recently that I found absolutely captivating!!  The care and detail that went into the gift absolutely blew me away.  I may be living under a rock but I had not seen this template before but someone has surmised that I’m a calendar-aholic and hit the nail right on the head.  I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing her name, but Wanda Thomas sent me this jewel and I’m not kidding, I marveled over each and every detail for at least 20 minutes and promised some of my stamp club buddies that I would send a picture online.  Dearest Wanda, I hope you if are reading that you accept my thanks and also email me to let me know where we can find the directions – I’ll be sure to publish them and I’d love to make one.  Again, maybe many of you already know where to get this but I honestly don’t get to do that much surfing right now.

Check out additional pictures of this sweet, sweet project.

Wanda, your gift arrived before Christmas but Kelly and I live a bit of a distance apart so we make dates to catch up with each other.  Lately because of the deadlines I have going on, I haven’t been able to see her until just this week.  Imagine my surprise!!!

  • Mary MacJanuary 3, 2011 - 8:07 pm

    Becca, that super duper gift just goes to show how very much you are appreciated. Some people really show their appreciation in deeds eg Wanda. I’m a prime example of someone who is much more selfish with her time and just uses a few words to express gratitude. Perhaps I should consider looking into this for the New Year?

    Wanda’s gift is magnificent and must have taken a lot of time to complete, she sure is an example to me.ReplyCancel

  • LennyJanuary 3, 2011 - 8:07 pm

    Hello sweet Becca, first of allI would like to wish you a Happy New Year!! Been missing you at BC ;D. I just admired that wonderful easel card box you’ve received. I knew I saw something similar before and here is the link. I am not sure it is the same size, but I guess that could be adjusted.

    This calendar/easel card is amazing!!! I have seen these around but not with this detail. I love the calendar inserts and the colors she used on the flowers (of the month) I assume.

You’re a lucky girl to have someone think so much of you.ReplyCancel

  • Wanda ThomasJanuary 4, 2011 - 10:57 pm

    First of all, thank you all so much for the compliments. It was so sweet of Becca to share this, but as you can see from the ribbon and pearls, she is a considerable influence in my crafting.

    I e-mailed her some details on the project but I am an “ad-hoc” stamper and do not document things well. I’m hoping I gave her enough to duplicate and enhance along with documenting the process. Here are a couple of things to get you going. The easel/box itself was made from this tutorial: http://joaniscardsmadebyhand.blogspot.com/2010/06/easel-box-tutorial.html Every thing else seems standard to me except maybe the backgrounds on the flowers made my masking the flowers and using “scrubbies on a stick” for texture.

    If there is a part that you specifically want to know, you can e-mail me at wandathomas {at} att.net. Again, thank you all so much for the praise and kind words.

    I know each of you realize how much a handmade gift means to people and I encourage you to share your talents in the same way – to total strangers that might need an uplift. Believe me, it does more for you than it does for the recipient! Let’s all pay it forward.ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Since it is a cold and snowy day out today here in Ohio I am working inside on my scrap room. I am working towards my goal of organizing my scrap room so that I can make my cards and do my scrap booking more efficiently. It will take some time to go through everything I have collected over the years, but I’m sure that I will find things I have forgotten about and it will be new to me again. Since money is kind of limited right now, it will be nice to find those old forgotten items from long ago and use them to create new exciting items now. It really is all about organization and ability to find things easily that will contribute to being able to get more done, quickly, and when the mood strikes!! I’m making progress little by little each and every day! ~Gin~ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    I make some Easel boxes with calendar for my card making friends, and they loved them, they don’t like making boxes so thought they would like them.
    They were not as nice as the one your friend Wanda made for you, I love how she made different flowers for the months so you can change them, but how do you change them. I love making hand made things to give to friends.
    I will have to try the eseal box from the link Wanda gave you, it is a little different from the one I made, it looks more sturdy.ReplyCancel

Happy, Happy New Year!!  Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs January Release Blog Hop!  If you made your way here from Debi Southard, you are in the right place!  If not, you might want to go to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog and start from there so you don’t miss anyone!  There will be five fabulous prizes this month: if you are one of the lucky winners, you’ll get to pick an ODBD stamp set of your choice.  The prizes are hidden on various blogs along the hop, so it is important that you visit and comment on each one.

The Hop will run January 1st at 8am Eastern and will end at 8pm Eastern January 2nd. The winners will be randomly selected from the commenters that complete the hop and answer the question on the ODBD Blog.  Winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on January 3rd.

So here’s what you need to do to be in the running:

1. Leave a comment for each of the designers in the hop.  Just in case you get stuck, remember the entire list is posted on the ODBD Blog.
2. Leave a comment on the ODBD Blog that you completed the blog hop (make a note if there’s someone’s blog that wouldn’t take a comment).   Be sure to answer the Blog Hop question you find there :-)
3. Cross your lucky fingers and toes and hope that one of the bloggers who have the hidden prizes pick you!!  Be sure to check the ODBD Blog on January 3rd to see if you won!!

Well today is a little departure for me, wouldn’t you say?  I adore the little butterfly die cut and wanted to use it as much as possible lol!!  I cut 18 of them and I don’t think it took any longer than about 15 minutes.  Once you get the hang of placement – it’s easy as pie!!   At any rate, this is an accordian card.  I can’t take credit for it, I’ve seen it in a book somewhere but can’t find it for the life of me.  The card is really more of a show piece – it’s meant to stand up.  To me it perfectly illuminated the verse I used from the new set called Faith.

The new Butterfly die has a matching stamp of course!


Here’s what the card looks like closed down.  Part of the structure tucks inside, but it does need a large envelope.  I know, this was a little bit out of the box for me but it was a joy to make!!

SUPPLIES I USED:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Faith: Full of Grace Collection
Paper:  From my stash
Ink : Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder
Accessories : Our Daily Bread Designs – Butterfly die cut, Spellbinders Labels Eleven, Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, Ribbon

So now it’s my pleasure to direct you to the next stop along the way, with some eye candy from Lorelie Kim.  Best of luck you you as you make your way along the hop, I hope you win!

Well I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!!  You bless me!  Thanks for weighing in on my new theme.  I know that many of you got an error when you tried to leave a comment but those comments were coming through.   We’re working on it so if you see that error, keep trying and eventually it will go through.  Now on to the winners  . . .

The first three people to respond were Steph M, Cynthia Williamson and Madelyn.  I also said that I would pick one name randomly to get some goodies – and I picked number 41 which matches up to Olga Jewell.  If you could kindly reach out to me within the next 48 hours,  through the contact tab at the top of the blog and let me know your addresses.

Thank you all for helping me test out the new theme.  A little bit more tweaking to go to clear up the errors then I’m ready to go.  Stay tuned for the new features I wanted to roll out.  They are coming soon.

    Becca, I was thrilled and delighted to be one of your first posts purely by accident and the time difference I’m sure. I always check my e-mail first thing in the morning and Christmas day is no different this year because it has not been a happy year or many reasons. My only e-mail was from Amazon so because I always feel uplifted by your cards I checked your site. When I saw the changes I just had to say how beautiful it was.
    I have tried to contact you via the contact option but no matter how many times I spell the words correctly it still says error. My address is
    11 Goulds Villas
    Banbury, Oxon
    U.K , OX16 0QQ
    As you can see I live in England so will not expect a gift, however I would be thrilled to get one of your lovely cards.

    I had lots of errors also last time I tried to post. I also tried to use the Contact link and like Cynthia said above, no matter how many times I tried to enter the letters/numbers, it always came back as invalid.
    I don’t know if any of my attempts came through, but I love your new blog look! It is very classy–love the birds! I’m not trying to be a brat, but double check your bio block. Should it be ‘at’?

    I know you are a perfectionist so I am just giving you feedback…

    Hi Becca!

    I love your new site! It suits you. I’m glad that you were surrounded with family this Christmas. I know it had to be hard on you with it being the first without your husband John. But I know you must be thankful that Christ was born then died on the cross so that we may be saved. It brings me comfort to realize that I will see my loved ones again one day. I wish you a wonderful New Year filled with healing.ReplyCancel

    I think the new look of your blog is very pretty, BUT I will say that like so many things nowadays that are set up to be pretty it’s never as easy for us visually impaired people to read. Your font doesn’t seem as bold as it used to be and that makes it harder for me to read your posts. But, I will still enjoy looking at all of your beautiful creations.ReplyCancel
