Good weekend morning!! I got to play a little bit last night, weaving this frame has been in my head since I saw Spellbinders Lacey Circles. This was driving me crazy and even at the dinner I went to the other night I was going though it all in my mind – over under or is it better under over — loop around — thread through. My hubby could see me counting it off in my mind – whew – glad it’s done – moving on to obsess about something else I haven’t finished, lol! By the way this gorgeous sentiment is from Quietfire Design and is called Each of Us Has a Song. (Ha..ha.. my hubby saw the stamp and said too bad some of us sing off tune.)
After cutting two sizes of Lacey Circles I cut/embossed each with Standard Circles Large so that my circles were hollowed out enough that I’d be able to see the pattern once I started looping. I taped one edge of each circle down to my work surface so that both would be stable. Once I got around to the tape I switched it to the opposite side and continued looping until I finished all eighteen loops. It honestly doesn’t take long – unless you’re watching a sad movie like I was ;-). I centered the pair of woven hoops over a circle that I cut in the card with Spellbinders Circles Large. I stamped on my lower layer and then framed everything up. I also ran a border of Spellbinders Big Scalloped Petites across the card and embellished with little sage pearls. The small ribbon wasn’t wide enough for a bow like I like, so I simply paired the 1/4" ribbon up with 1/2" sheer and tied them together.

By the way, our Double Play winner claimed her prize but didn’t have all ten words for the Bonus which means it is up for grabs still!! After another go at Random.org it pulled the number 752 which corresponds with Bonnie Rabon. Bonnie if you can email me the double play words within 48 hours, I’ll get them in the mail to you next week!

This one has such beautiful colors and does look like fall. It will be hot here in TX until Oct and man is it HOT out now!
Me too, I look forward to your posts and your beautiful creations. This is another beauty. Love the fall looking colors. It is still difinitely summer here in Central Florida. We don’t have much of a fall or winter either. TFS
Such lucious colors! Since we’re having 100+ degree days here, I long for some cool Fall weather.

Happy Dance – a new card from Becca!! I’m sitting on the couch with my sweetie and so he was able to see the card, too…..wow, he said! Yes, wow, Becca !
thank you!
Just Beautiful!
another wow card. just stunning. I know you are going to do a tutorial on making this flower ;)
I was glad to see a post from you today as it is what I look for every time I check my emails for the day. The flower is gorgeous and I think I may have one of the same on a wreath hanging in my kitchen. Hum, I will leave it alone and keep my eye on for others the next trip to our Micheals. You do such beautiful work and I enjoy taking in everything you do. Can’t wait for your next post and have a great day…
Lovely card, beautiful colors. Thanks for the inspiration.
Another lovely card!! I’m always in awe of what you do with the Spellbinders! That Fanciful Holiday is such a great set. I’d love to have that one, but will have to wait until someone is offering a great deal on it and hope it’s still available. Maybe I’ll have it by Christmas 2011!!
Oh how stunning just beautiful, great colors and the combination of all that you did is just wonderful. Great work as always.
Becca,
Simply gorgeous!!!!! Love the fall colors. We have had a rather mild summer so far here in San Diego, CA. But we usually have a heat wave in late August early September. For now, I am really enjoying the mild summer. Not quite ready for fall just yet.

It looks just awesome Becca, and I too just love these fallcolors, and I think they looks great even I´m not ready for fall yet either, as we haven´t had much sumer at all here in Denmark the last 4 to 5 years, so we´re really longing for a really long and good warm summer here, butas the rain has started again now, I´m afraid we wount get anymore this year either, so it sure warms to see such a beauty.Wonderful work as always hun.
big hugs Maryann
Your card is so pretty, Becca

Another Becca Original. You are such an inspiration to all of your readers. TFS. God bless and have a great day.
I’m sure glad that Fall won out. This is stunning Becca, I love the allover composition and the flower with the pearls is the perfect embellishment. So much eye candy with all of the different shapes makes for a viewing pleasure. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Wow, what an awesome colour. Sooooooo beautiful.
Wow, this is just so stunning!! Love the colors and that beautiful flower.
This is absoluteluy beautiful Becca. I just love the fall colors. Just so happens I made a floral arrangement with that same flower a couple of months ago! A friend re-decorated her livingroom and black was her color so I used that color a focal and splash of color, it is beautiful.
Many Blessings,
Mary
Absolutely gorgeous Becca!!

Gorgeous colors!!! How you can find a treasure and redefine its use is a gift!!!! I would have seen the flower and thought “pretty color and shape” and walked on by! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and creativity. Love the ODBD sentiments. Wish I could afford all of them!
DEAR BECCA,
WORDS ESCAPE ME AT THIS TIME OF YOUR LOSS.
BUT WE HAVE A HOPE THAT SOME IN THIS WORLD
DO NOT, OUR HOPE IS JESUS CHRIST AND I KNOW
YOUR RESTING IN THE PROMISES HE HAS GIVEN US BECAUSE HE DOES NOT LIE. YOU WILL BE UNITED AGAIN WITH YOUR LOVE AND ALL THE
SAINTS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US. IT WILL
BE SOON AND LORD’S PROMISES WILL BE FULFILLED.
WITH CHRISTIAN LOVE
