Thanks for visiting with us today during the Mega Blog Hop for JustRite featuring Fonts. JustRite is celebrating their Mega Font Hop in style (a 2 Day Event with 54 designers) with a Super 7 Day Font Sale. Take 30% off all JustRite font sets as well as the Horizontal and Vertical Font Stampers. Sale begins Sept 17th and ends Sept 24th.
My project is a Christmas Card log – that will hold your Christmas Cards and allow you to keep track of them for 5 years. This is something I do each year as I can’t stand to throw away old cards. The secret weapon I used is HERE. That’s right, this is a project that’s perpetual, by using my fonts, I can keep it updated and always have a place to stash and track my cards. I started out with a hard back book I purchased at the dollar store and stripped out the insides. I created sides out of velvet and lined the inside with velvet backed with cardstock while using Zip Dry Glue and lots of Red Tacky Tape. (For those with a fear of fabric, this project can also be done using cardstock, I would imagine). I glued trim and ribbon on the outside and embossed on the front of the book using a border from Just Rite Old Fashioned Christmas. The border is then decorated with gold pearls, Spellbinders Fancy Tags and a name plate that says Christmas Card Log in the JustRite Brayton Font
I developed a set of cards to file away with the old Christmas cards. As file tabs I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags and stamped the date on each tab with Justrite Brayton Font.
Here’s a view from the inside :)

Both cards are stunning! I love the jewel hues you’ve chosen, so rich and elegant Becca!
Totally stunning cards, Becca!!! I am praying you’ll be delivered from those migrain headaches.
Becca, both are so beautiful!! Love the rich colors and little details!!!!
Oh Becca… these are both stunning… even with a migraine you really can wow anyone with your creations!!! LOVE the layout and beautiful bows on both… great colors… and I have the same circle I am hoarding as well… thanks for the push to use it!!! Awesome my friend… now get some rest and feel better!
Beautiful card Becca. I love the color combination. You always surprise me with the way you can put your cards together. Your ideas are teriffic.
Simply beautiful!
Thank you Becca for the beautiful cards. You should send these to yourself. I pray you feel well very soon. Migraines, OUCH!!!
I would love to learn to tie a bow as beautiful as your’s. Can you teach me?
Yours in Christ, Judy
Great sentiment and I really like both cards-tfs.
Becca, your cards are always the most beautiful I have ever seen. I can’t believe you actually accomplished those with a migrane headache. I am lucky enough to not suffer from migranes. The ones I do have are bad enough, I pray you will overcome yours quickly. There are supposed to be some things out there that will help, but I don’t remember what they are. Good luck.
Beautifully done! Love the rich, satin ribbon on both.
Even with migraines you create stunning cards. I’ve been there ~ the migraines not the cards, I can’t believe you could even stand up! Go back and lay down till they go away! Hope that is very very soon. As always love the cards!
Becca.
I look forward so much to see your beautiful cards and they never disappoint.
Hope you are soon feeling better
Hilda
Gorgeous cards, Becca! I’m always amazed at the elegance of your projects!

Both cards are beautiful and done in some delicious colors. Making cards from sketches are so much fun especially if you run out of ideas like I seem to do. TFS!!!
Oh, how I look forward to receiving your e-mails each day. They are the highlight of my day, and you are so inspirational to me. I learn something new each day and the two cards today are outstanding with the sentiment and colors. Although I have just had major surgery, I can’t wait to get back to my card room and use all the new Spellbinders that I have ordered. My you get over the migrane fast and continue the great work. If you can do these beautiful cards with a migrane–you can do anything!
Becca, sorry to hear you’re not well – I hope you recover quickly.
Both cards are stunning as usual, the colour combination is superb and the sentiment (which is beautifully presented) I send back to you
with love.

Becca, I am sorry you have had migraines! I can’t say I know what that is like from experience, other than seeing how my husband feels when he gets them. I truly hope you feel back to yourself soon!
Your cards are so lovely – the rich colors are wonderful. That black bow on the first one is so elegant – love the bling on the second one!!
Good evening, Becca- I’m so sorry you’ve been unwell. I can empathise with you, I suffer from migraines too, and they can be quite debilitating. Both cards today are beautiful, very rich colours and so elegant. As you say, a great sketch.
Praying you are feeling a bit better by now Becca and got rid of those nasty headaches.
Your card is once again just stunning- so much so I have just ordered the 3 new sets from ODB- that’ll give me something to look forward to.
Many hugs,
Trish xx

These cards are beautiful! I like everything about them…the sketch, the sentiments, the papers, and your trademark bows. I hope your migraines pass soon.
I just love the ODBD -get well, the color combo the ribbon and bling just really set it off, If I was feeling bad the beauty of the cards would make me feel better. Feel better Becca!!!

Becca: So sorry to hear that you have been held prisoner by migraines….I had those as a teenager and I Thank God they have disappeared. You continue to amaze me as I could not function with them. The cards are just perfect. I pray for your speedy recovery.
I have just found your beautiful artwork through Jak Heath at Crafters Kitchen. Your work is gorgeous! Love each and every single post that I have read. I must go back now and oggle over each card.
Blessings to you and your work
