Happy Saturday everyone!

It's time for another Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge! "ODBDSLC20"

Today the ODBD Challenge Team has a sketch challenge for you!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the bookmark challenge last week!! We enjoyed viewing the many beautiful creations.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, 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, July 15. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.
 

This is what I created for the challenge!

This is the ODBD's newly released "Bless This Home".  The lovely image was stamped, colored using copics then cut out and placed on the Spellbinder's Nestibillities. I used a tip from Dawn to add a little red when coloring the windows. It really makes them look so warm and cozy! Thanks for the tip, Dawn!

This is the sketch to follow!

Hi everyone!

Are you ready for another "Stamping In Time on Assignment Challenge"?

The assignment is ODBD stamps. The challenge is Christmas in July! It is time to start working on your Christmas cards and no better time than with a challenge. If you do not have any ODBD Christmas images, use what you have to make a Christmas inspired card or gift. We would love to see what you create!

This is what I have created for SNTODBD13:

The lovely image is from ODBD's "Worship the Lord" set. The image was stamped, colored using copic markers and cut out using Spellbinders Nestibillities. I also used glitter and acrylic paint to add snow and ice to the scene. The smaller panel was embossed using my cuttlebug and an e/b folder. The large background panel was scored using my Scorepal!

Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a fabulous holiday weekend!

Our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren came over to celebrate the Fourth of July. Lots of food and family fun. That always makes this mom and grandmother extremely happy!

My creation for today is for two challenges:

Holly challenged us to create our own Paper Posies.

I chose to create crepe paper flowers using Terri's tutorial! Thanks, Terri! Thanks, Holly for the fab challenge and the link!

Denise challenged us to find inspiration here! I chose this beautiful cake! Thanks for the wonderful challenge, Denise! So many gorgeous cakes!

The Rubbernecker image from the Florals collection was stamped, embossed and then heat set! The lovely flowers were made using circle punches and crepe paper. I could only find white crepe paper so after punching out circles I stippled  using cert. celery. I also found that if I doubled the crepe paper the circles cut more evenly.  The framing for the flowers are Spellbinders Nestibilities. The dp for the larger panel was cut from a tissue box! The swirl is a Tim Holtz die cut. The white background panel was scored using Scorepal.
 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon! Hugs!!!!!

Hi everyone! It seems like I have been out of the loop for a long time!

We were gone for almost two weeks. Had a wonderful time in Florida visiting friends and family. Every year around the first weekend in June we have a family reunion. This year about 150 reletives and friends attended. Lots of fun, but I'm always glad to be home.

When we arrived home, we found that our computer would not connect to the internet. Finally got it fixed after four days.

Just wanted you to know why I have not been creating lately! It's good to be back!

This is a card I created for three SCS challenges:

Inside card.

1. CC277 found here, is hosted by Betty (gbedwright) challenged us to use Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay and Curshed Curry. Thanks for the wonderful color combo, Betty!

2. Cindy's "mothermark" Teapot Tuesday was to help Silly Sydney solve her romantic beach problems. Thanks for the fun challenge, Cindy!

3. Anne Ryan's Queen For Today challenge honoring Queen "Kittie" "Kittie 747" Fabulous Choice, Anne! WaHooooo! What an honor to case Kittie. Kittie is the "Queen of Scene" and colors beautifully! Here is Kittie's card that I chose to case.

The image from Rubbernecker's,
 Under the Sea was stamped twice. I brayered the sky and sea then used a template to sponge in the moon! The sand was added using a stipple brush. The image was colored using copics, cut out and popped up. White acrylic paint was added for sea foam. The frame was cuttlebugged and then cut out using a Spellbinder's Nesstibillitie! TFL

Thanks for stopping by! Hope things will be back to normal soon!

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's time for another Shining the Light Challenge: ODBDSLC19

The team would like you to create a bookmark. We thought it was time to do something other than a card. This challenge will be up for two weeks due to the holiday and new release on July 1st!

To make the challenge even more fun, ODBD will be giving out a prize , 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, July 8. One random winner will be chosen!

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them.

Here is my bookmark:

I used two Our Daily Bread Design  sets for this bookmark! The cattails are from ODBD's With Heartfelt Sympathy and the wonderful sentiment is ODBD's Serenity Prayer! One, I know, I need to read every day.  That is why I am going to use this so that when I mark my pages I can read it over and over! I used the brayering tech I learned from classes with Michelle Zindorf and her tech found HERE!

Please check ODBD's Blog for all the details!
