The background was embossed using a Sizzix Snowflake E/F. I also added tiny punched snowflakes that were glittered and placed pearls in the center. The decorative pendant is a Spellbinders die cut.

Good morning everyone!

It's Saturday and time for another Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge (38)!

"Anything but a card!"

I know I get in a rut of only making cards. I will admit I am not good at projects. To my surprise I really enjoyed this and am very pleased with the results.

To make the challenge even more fun, Kelley (owner) will be giving a  $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, Noverber 18th. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

~ Here is my project ~

The tutorial for this can be found HERE! All the panels were embossed using Sizzix E/F and distressed using Tim Holtz distress inks. The lovely leaves from ODBD's "Randi's Song" were stamped, colored using the distress inks, glazed, cut out and popped up. As I said before, this took me out of my comfort zone as I am not good at doing projects. I will probably be doing lots more of these to give as gifts.

Hi everyone!

It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge (SNTODBD22)!

 The assignment is Our Daily Bread Design stamps. Lori Ulrich is our challenge host.

 It is the time here in the states where many people are starting to break out their winter clothing and warm furnishings to prepare for cooler temperatures. Lori is challenging us to think QUILTS. You can create quilted patterns with designer paper, use actual fabrics, create dimension with puff paints, foam dots, or other medium, or even add some stitches real or faux in a variety of frames or patterns. You can also think applique. The main thing is to think QUILTS. If it is used in the designing of a quilt, it works. We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps!

Please see ODBD's Blog for all the details!

Here is my quilt!

The quilt was made using 2" X 2" squares of d/p glued to card stock and then cut out using SU Top Note. I then added faux stitching using a pen. The lovely ODBD's Blessed Christmas was stamped, cut out using the die cut especially made for this image and colored using copic markers. Pearls were added to the center of the poinsettia. The background was embossed using Sizzix E/F!

Please check out what some of the other talented ODBD Design Team have created!

~Just a note ~

My Mom was admitted to the hospital after having a mild heart attack. She has been staying with my brother in Georgia. We will be heading out tomorrow, so except for some scheduled post I will not be around for awhile. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks, blessing and hugs!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Ummm, I think winter is here. I had to get my long winter coat out to wear to church this morning. The temp. was in the 30's, brrrrrrr. What's really funny is that I still have flowers blooming.

This card is for two challenges:

Over at Marks Finest Paper's , Harriet is challenging us to paper pierce our creation.

It is also for the Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS.

The lovely MFP's "A Walk In the Woods" was stamped and colored using copic markers. Tiny crystals were added to the tree. The snow was added using gel pen and then embossed with clear e/p. The sun and sky were stippled in. Spellbinders Nesties were used to frame the image. The background was embossed using cuttlebug and c/b e/f.

Hope you have a fabulous day.

Thanks for stopping by! Blessings and hugs!

Good morning everyone!

It's time for another ODBDSLC36!

Today we are challenging you to use gold or silver cording, craft hemp or string. We hope we will get you to think outside the box and get creative. I know I usually use ribbon, pearls or crystals. I will admit I really had to think about this one! Especially the one using the string.

To make the challenge even more fun, Kelley (owner) will be giving a $15.00 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at Our Daily Bread Designs store. Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, Nov. 11th at 8:00 PM EST.  One random winner will be chosen and announced next saturday.

Please see ODBD's Blog for all the details!

Here are my creations:

For this one I chose to use string. The ODBD's "Fishers of Men" was colored using copic markers, cut out and framed using  Spellbinder's Nesties! I also stippled the oval with blues and creams. The background panel was also stippled and the sky was sponged in using a homemade  templete (torn cardstock). Of course, the string was used as the fishing line holding the fish.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The next creation is a CASE of one of my cards I made about a week ago. I chose to use gold cord.

The lovely ODBD's "Blessed Christmas" and "Die Cut" was used for this creation. I stamped the poinsettia twice, colored using copics and cut out using ODBD die cut. I popped up one flower over the other to add depth. Pearls were added to the center. I cut pine boughs using M/S punch and placed on either side of the image. The frame was embossed using Spellbinder's Nestie.  Ribbon and gold cord were added.

Hi everyone! Hope you have had a beautiful day and that everyone got out to vote!

Before I get started, I want to share something that happened to me yesterday. Hopefully it will keep it from happening to someone else!

I was all set to play in Holly's challenge yesterday, when a big ugly virus invaded my screen! A box with a big "Warning A Trojun Virus has attached your computer". I tried calling my son, but he was not available at that time. So ol' smarty pants thinks she can handle this one by herself. "NOT" Thank goodness when I got to a certain point things just didn't look right. It did get in. Attached an Icon to my desktop and some files. My computer genius son was able to run  a program and got rid of it before major problems occured. So the moral to the story is if something flashes on your screen telling you that a trojun virus is attacking your computer, chances are that is the virus and you should delete, delete, delete!

This is for two challenges over on SCS. The color challenged hosted by Mary and the TLC hosted by Holly!

The main panel was first stippled using SU's really rust, choc chip and pumpkin pie. I also masked to get the moon effect. Then stamped using Rubbrenecker's sentiment. After following Holly's tutorial to emboss several times using clear embossing powder I stamped The lovely Rubbernecker's image and embossed using black e/p. Love this tech. Paper pierced the bordering layer. The background was embossed using a Sizzix E/F and cuttlebug!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a marvelous evening!  Hugs!
