I’m indeed praying your day is filled with joy . . . I know that mine is. It’s an added bonus that spring is on the way!! I wanted to share a quick card with you that uses one of the March releases from Our Daily Bread Designs. The set I used is called Easter Blessings and has this gorgeous Lilly of the Valley that I colored with Copic Markers. On top of my cut design paper I added Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite and topped that with a Martha Stewart Border Punch. Then for the focal image, after I colored with Copic Markers and distressed with Antique Linen Distress Ink, I cut it from Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, raised it on Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and embellished it with one of the companion pieces from Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants.
My friends won’t believe this, but this was a quickie made from scraps. No, you don’t understand . . . I could easily spend more than an hour just picking the paper. My DD is spending time with me this evening so this was a "git ‘er done" kind of card. Here are the copics I used:
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Easter Blessings

Ink: Blue Dye Based Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Jumbo Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Lattice Pendants, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Pearls, Ribbon

I have a million things that I’m dabbling in and heaven help me I went into the quilt store today – you’ll see. For the past couple of nights I’ve also hit up some of my "go to" sites that had fonts, brushes and digital paper on sale (another addiction that I’ll explain later). ScrapnFonts.com had an excellent St. Patty’s Day Sale everything being $1.00 (that doesn’t happen often) and their sister site LetteringDelights.com had a similar sale – the neat thing that I didn’t know about the latter site is they now tell you everything you own so that you don’t buy it again. Gosh, I think they had me in mind because I have quite a collection from them and have purchased a couple of things twice. The other thing is I’m obsessed with flowers and have picked up quite a few supplies to make my own — you’ll see, you’ll see! But I digress, more on these things later!!
Oops I almost forgot to share . . we have a winner for the JustRite Blog Candy!!

Hi Becca ~ God has definitely blessed you with an incredible talent and it’s wonderful that you share it with all of us! I also love that you’re a child of God, as I am, and are willing to share that you are and God’s Word with others!
My dream set for JustRite Stamps is actually something I emailed to them back in January…I would like to see a set that is more generic for gift-giving with wording such as “For You” and/or other similar wording (”Especially For You”, “Just For You”). I use these for the packaging I do when I make and sell handmade gifts. I would also like to see it designed for more than just women and girls. I need these for children (different ages) – especially for boys – and for men. I haven’t seen a lot of attractive masculine stamps at the different stamp companies. I like a lot of different styles and this could be done a lot of different ways, but I can definitely see it in a classy, old-fashion style, for example, antique toys for children. I hope this information helps! ~ Kathy
Kathy please reach out to me through my contact page to accept and give me your address and we’ll get your goodies on the way!
Whew, that was a long post! Cheerio – see you tomorrow!
Glad you are feeling better! : )
Oh Becca, I’m so sorry to hear about you having a migraine….hope you are feeling better soon. After seeing all of your projects, I think maybe you are trying to do to much! Remember to take time to smell the flowers!
Hugs, Pam

Sorry about the migraine — boy, can I relate! Glad you’re feeling better!

Glad you’re better. My daughter has severe migraines. She has one tonight.
Sorry to hear you have been ill. Have a good time playing today!
Sleep was good for you. I have migraines too so my thoughts are with you. You do so much for us, you must remember to take care of yourself!
Sorry to hear you were under the weather. Glad you’re doing better. I get migraines on a rare occassion and that certainly does knock a person down. Looking forward to your next inspiration!
Becca, so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Sleep is the best medicine for anything it’s how our bodies heal itself. Thanks to Tammy for the confirmation. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Been sick myself w/stomach bug for 3 days and am wiped out! Plus the weather is so crazy! Snow, then 70 then rain ….and I’m in Tennessee! You are such a blessing. Hope you are back up and “at ’em” today. Hugs~
I too am battling a migraine, no sleep at all Tuesday night, but made up for it last night. It’s a little better today, but it always is better in the am, so we’ll see. Glad you’re better, don’tcha wish we knew what caused them? I’d avoid it like the plague, but have never been able to figure it out, except sometimes bright light does it or too much time on the computer. Well at least they don’t last forever. Have a good day and thanks for inspiring us so.
Take care of yourself.
Becca, I just recently found your blog and enjoy it greatly. You are a very talented lady and provide us with so many ideas and examples. I can’t believe how prolific you are. I’m sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling well. Hopefully rest will help.
I hope your feeling better soon. Migranes are awful.
Sorry to hear that you are dealing with the pain from a Migraine, hope you feel better soon.

Glad you are feeling better. I never had a migraine, but hear they are the WORST!
HI Becca,
Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. I despise headaches so I cannot begin to imagine what a migraine must feel like. Enjoy your playtime and I anxiously await to see what you come up with. I so admire your work.
Sorry to hear you had a migraine……they sure can bring a person down. Enjoy your rest.
Becca – I love your work and hope you are better – sandy
