    FAbulous as always Becca!! Hope you had a great weekend. We did. I taught at a workshop all weekend, drove to Stratford (Ontario) to have dinner with friends. My hubby was in a golf tournament and joined us after. Just chilled on Sunday, cleaned out the garage and made some room in my craft room to start Christmas creations.
    Have a great week!!ReplyCancel

    Good afternoon, Becca. Another beautiful card – I love everything about it – the embossing the stamp and the colouring and the embellishments-all make for a special card.ReplyCancel

    Sweet card Becca ~ I’m liking the kraft paper in place of your ‘normal’ paper on this card, almost looks rustic, nice contrast with the embossing.ReplyCancel

    Oooooooooooooooo. That is very pretty! Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Becca
    I was happy to stumble upon your blog today while I was blog hopping.
    This is a beautiful card – the colours are super and it’s great to see the true meaning of the Christmas season so beautifully portrayed.
    Blessings – RuthReplyCancel

  • CherylOctober 27, 2008 - 6:11 pm

    Hi Becca,
    I found your site from Splitcoasters. I love your designs! I was wondering how you embossed the same cuttlebug design numerous times on the same paper without flattening sections you previously embossed.
    I appreciate any tips you have.

    You’re an amazing talented girl. So nice of you to share your techniques. The cards are beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • LorelieOctober 29, 2008 - 1:53 pm

    You always come out with such INCREDIBLE techniques! I love coming to your blog!!! Your cards are always breath-takingly GORGEOUS!ReplyCancel

  • Jerri JimenezOctober 29, 2008 - 7:15 pm

    Becca, this is fabulous! I used this folder on the last card I posted for the four corners. I used my Scor It to emboss double lines between the four corners. You’ve taken it several steps up by creating a clever technique for more uses for these dies. Like you, I have been very disappointed, especially with the ones with sentiments. Thank you for providing pictures showing us how you did it! You’re a genius girl! This card is absolutely beautiful!ReplyCancel

    Just wanted to say what a great tutorial. Unfortunately I don’t (as yet) have a large die-cutting machine, but will keep it in mind in case I get one in the future (will have to wait and see what Santa brings).

    I also think this could make good use of some of those stamps that have been neglected!

    I have added a link to this post from my blog as I’m sure there are many Cuttlebug users out there who would love to know of this technique, unless you object and then I shall remove it.

Hi Everybody, no card today but I wanted to let you know that today I spent a little bit of time trying to figure out what happened at Feedblitz.   I had about 650 email subscribers at the beginning of the week and today it was down to about 530, another 50 – 60 were being classified as undeliverable.  What!!?!  I looked at the list and about one hundred of you were in the waiting to be deleted queue.  I looked at the list of people and some of my very best friends and most diehard lovely fans were on the list.  I was distressed!!!  Then more distressed because I don’t know how long things have been going awry – I rarely log in and look at Feedblitz stats.  I lose a subscriber every now and again, but it’s never more than a handful.

I reinstated as many as I could – it seems that they have to be done one by one, aaarrrgghh!!  I will also be checking Feedblitz on a daily basis, I’ve never had a problem before, but want to make sure everything returns to normal.  I would ask you to please check your subscriptions.  If was your desire to have AmazingPaperGrace included in your daily Feedblitz, please sign up again if the subscription no longer appears on your list.  Email me from my contact page if you are having any problems.  I can also check any name that is sent to me to make sure it still is active or not.

If you have a blog and had the same experience as me, I’d love to know and hope you’ll leave a comment so that if we have the same subscribers they’ll know to check your subscription too!  I sent nice but pretty lengthy note to Support at Feedblitz, and would encourage any other blogger that had the same experience to send an email as well; feel free to note my loss as well if it helps.    If there are similar experiences out there that are reported to Feedblitz, I’m sure it will help them identify the source of the problem and rule out individual blogs.

Please note the problem referred to was with Feedblitz (which are email subscriptions).  There is currently no problem with Feedburner (subscriptions through your reader).

ETA:  Giving credit where credit is due!!  I received a prompt email from Feedblitz explaining that a server was having issues and that all should be restored now.    Thank you Feedblitz for your speedy assistance.

    Mine is doing the same, Becca. Not sure what’s going on!ReplyCancel

  • Harriet SkellyOctober 19, 2008 - 10:40 pm

    There is certainly something wrong – I don’t have a blog but I subscribe to yours and many others and I didn’t get any feeds today or one other day last week!ReplyCancel

  • DianeOctober 19, 2008 - 11:00 pm

    Hope it all gets worked out. Love receiving your updates. I’ll be back to visit with or without the Feedblitz though. Love your beautiful creations!ReplyCancel

  • Lisa D. AthaOctober 19, 2008 - 11:36 pm

    Becca,

    I don’t recall missing any feeds this past week, and I know that I did not unsubscribe. I definitely want to keep receiving your new posts! I consider you a close friend, I would never be disloyal and desert you.
    I hope you get it figured out. Don’t stress though.

    Hugs, Lisa AthaReplyCancel

  • KathleenOctober 20, 2008 - 12:34 am

    I subscribe to a few blogs and some have mentioned the same problem. But I have received all of my updates without a problem, Just lucky I guess.ReplyCancel

  • Joyce RougeouOctober 20, 2008 - 3:54 am

    I’m so sorry you are having problems with Feedblitz. Hope it all works out, as I LOVE your blog. Keep up the good work.ReplyCancel

  • Joan FrickerOctober 20, 2008 - 4:29 am

    Becca, I seem to be getting your updates and I certainly want to. I love
    everything you do. Good luck in getting it all straightened out.

  • Jerri KayOctober 20, 2008 - 4:34 am

    Hi Becca, I’m so glad you posted this. Yes, mine is doing the same thing. Also, I’ve noticed I’m not getting updates to some of the blogs I’ve subscribed to.ReplyCancel

  • DianeOctober 20, 2008 - 6:04 am

    Becca,
    Just a quick note…
    I’m getting your updates with no problems.
    Thanks for taking care of us.

  • Jamie WilcoxOctober 20, 2008 - 7:32 am

    Becca, I just had to go in and check my subscriptions with Feed Blitz because I wasn’t getting any feeds from them for over a week. Don’t know what the problem is, but I would definitely not want to lose yours!ReplyCancel

  • Beth NormanOctober 20, 2008 - 8:13 am

    Gosh, that isn’t good. When I was on blogger I noticed the same thing, but didn’t know what to do. I left it alone and it self corrected. It is indeed strange. Don’t worry, if I think I’m missing your subscription, I will scout you out–you can’t hide from me–LOL!ReplyCancel

  • L. BrownOctober 20, 2008 - 8:52 am

    Dear Becca, I check on you first thing every morning. I wouldn’t want to lose you but I, too would find you. Your work is just far to beautiful to miss.ReplyCancel

  • Ann LindOctober 20, 2008 - 10:03 am

    I have your blog on my list of favorites and I check your blog daily so I don’t miss anything. Lauren Meader posted she was having problems with her subscriptions as well so it must be a Feedblitz problem. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations. Ann LindReplyCancel

  • Shirl MartinOctober 20, 2008 - 10:57 am

    No problem here, honey. Don’t worry most of the people that love your blog would find you.ReplyCancel

    LOL – That’s why I LOVE using Google Reader!!! Glad to hear it was a server issue and nothing you had to worry about :-)ReplyCancel

  • Rhonda K.October 20, 2008 - 5:52 pm

    I think there was a BIG hiccup with Feedblitz lately. I have not gotten any of my normal blog message for like 3 days! I have been missing everyone! Hopefully they have gotten things fixed, I hate it when I don’t have MAIL!!!!!ReplyCancel

  • Karen LOctober 21, 2008 - 8:42 pm

    sorry you were having a problem but seems like it’s all good again!! i’ve gone to reading things on google reader so I never miss!!ReplyCancel

  • Jean FitchOctober 22, 2008 - 4:02 am

    Wow Becca – I love your cards and I especially love that I still seem to be subscribed though I didn’t get the Oct. 20th entry emailed to me.

    Just to be on the safe side I went through the sign up process anyway. And there I discovered a box to be checked I’ve never seen before: ” I confirm it is my choice to subscribe to this newsletter” if yes check the box and the subscription answer came back after the second attempt (second because I hadn’t noticed the box waiting to be checked) that I was already subscribed! Yay!!

    I would hate to miss your wonderful creative talents.

    Thanks for sharing – JeanReplyCancel
