ODBDSLC97 - Create a Scene!

Happy Saturday All!! I hope you are all having a great weekend!! Today I am popping in to share this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge!!

This Week’s Challenge-

The challenge team would like to see you use or create a scene on your card. The scene does not have to be a stamp, it could also be on your designer paper.

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 Friday, February 24th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on or will they qualify for prizes.

If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC97. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to our challenge.

Here's my take on this week's challenge...



I decided to use a mask to create my scene. I first stamped The Mighty Sea Image. I then stamped a mask of the same image taking care to cut it out and place it. I then stamped the Light of the World lighthouse. Some coloring with Copics and sponging with Memento inks added just the perfect measure of color. The base panel is black card stock with DP by Bo Bunny cut and placed along with an embossed panel in the lower corner. A piece of jute adds a rustic touch!

The Sea

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you carve a little time out today to spend with your loved ones! Today, I am sharing a card created with the recent Our Daily Bread Designs release, The Sea. Even though it is Valentine's Day you won't find any red or pink on this card! Instead, I pulled out one of my favorite colors... BLUE!



I embossed my card base with a Provocraft folder, Mary Ann. I also had a chance to use one of my new Cheery Lynn Designs' die, Swedish Spring Oval Frame! I won a mini shopping spree a few weeks back by participating in one of their challenges. I selected a couple of new dies as my prize. Come back later this week and I will be using one of their new border dies!

This week promises to be a busy one. Stay tuned Thursday for Our Daily Bread Designs Alumni Love of Hop. Friday come back to visit and see what my project for Exploring Cricut will be. And then Saturday I will have a project for Our Daily Bread's Shining the Light Challenge! It promises to be one fun filled week! And if I work REALLY hard I might find a Mojo entry or two as well! Thanks for visiting and until next time... blessings...

MOJO227 & SSIC126 - There's a Buzz in the Air

Happy Sunday to you! I'm popping in to share my card for the weekly sketch challenge at Mojo Monday. I also took the opportunity to play along with Stampin' Sisters in Christ. They are looking for cards that will make them smile! With Valentine's Day almost here and the sun shining in Kentucky, my thoughts have turned to spring! My poor daffodils are peeking out! With the snow we had over the weekend, I feel certain they want to pop back underground! I love the wonder of spring! Each year it feels like a breath of promise to come... of not only warmer but longer days... lightning bugs twinkling in the summer night and days spent visiting outdoors with family and friends... What a wonderful gift it is! The power of Easter and what it symbolizes... the resurrection of our Lord and Savior... His defeat of death and the grave! Spring is a promise. A promise that life can begin anew if we just have faith! Blessings...

Today's card...

The Mighty Sea

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
Verses 1 - 11 KJV

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

Thank you so much for taking a few moments to stop by and visit! The last few weeks, you may have noticed a few less posts than normal. My dear sister in law passed away a little over a week ago after a battle with a form of fibrosis. But there are signs of life on the farm as well. We are in the midst of lambing. New life has come and unfortunately some have gone. So as it is with the sea... the tide rolls in and then goes back out. For everything there is a season... and thankfully He makes everything beautiful in His time... Blessings...

MOJO226, TSTR99 & SSIC125 ~ Won't You Be My Valentine?

Happy Sunday! Hope you and yours are having a wonderful Sabbath! I'm feeling a tab bit shabby chic! And with this week's Mojo Monday sketch in one hand and the lovely inspiration photo from The Shabby Tea Room, I went right to work. I love working with sketches and this week's Mojo Sketch did not disappoint.



And here is the lovely inspiration photo from The Shabby Tea Room. Participants were asked to use the colors in this photo along with a postal element.




So here's my take...



So for my card I elected to make an itty bitty envelope out of card stock and add a paper punched heart. My card is actually a scalloped card cut using the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge as I do not own the larger Spellbinders. I cut a slightly smaller circle and added some vintage looking lace I picked up at Michaels around the edges. A pretty red bow, die cut flourish from Cheery Lynn Designs and a Prima Rose add to the shabby feel. The lovely paper die cut is from K & Company's Valentine Sweetheart Paper Pad. So easy to just punch out and go!

Here's a photo of the inside. I stamped a verse from last month's Our Daily Bread Designs release called God's Love.

Paper - Bazzill, K & Company Valentine Paper Pad, Life's Journey Paper Pad

Exploring Cricut - Daily Post

Happy Friday! Thanks so much for stopping by! Today's project is for the daily post at Exploring Cricut. And I used both a new and old favorite!

First the finished product! And you must promise to not tell my hubby! This might be his Valentine Card! ;-)



Cuts

Pet Shop - St. Bernard cut at 4.25 inches
Sweethearts - Puppy Love - pg. 44 at 3 inches & Heart - pg. 72 at 5 inches

This is an extremely simple card. I created a 6 x 6 card base out of black card stock and trimmed a slightly smaller layer of DP. The heart was secured with dimensional foam. The Saint (bronze coat embossed with Provocraft's D'Vine Swirls folder) stands guard. Notice how I placed his front feet with dimensional tape? My Saint has a blackout layer (black card stock), base (white card stock), brindle pattern (bronze card stock) and off white front feet. How fun is that? Thanks for stopping by and until next time... Blessings...

My creation features Scripture Collection 7 shown here.



Isn't it a great set? And now for my card...



Today's card has a vintage feel. I paper punched the edge of the base and added a layer of distressed pink card stock followed by a silver embossed panel. The embossing reminds me of those cool tin panels you see on the ceilings in historic buildings. I stamped my sentiment from Scripture Collection 7 on white card stock and cut/embossed it with Spellbinders. I also added a scalloped layer for interest. I dressed up the corner with a large gardenia blossom gently tipped with a pink Copic marker. A few pink mulberry roses, white die cut flourish and some strategically placed punched leaves finish it off! I think this card is perfect for the season of love... don't you?

Now next on the hop is Jan's blog. She has a wonderful project to share! Blessings and thanks for hopping along with us! Blessings!

Smooches... or Actually Smoochables...



Good morning! Thought I would pop in and share a few projects I had in the hopper. I was recently asked to create a few extra projects at Our Daily Bread Designs. And again I am going the clean and simple route. The image panel and background paper are from Bo Bunny's Smoochables 12 x 12 line. I love how the larger paper has ready made panels... you know, the kind perfect for stamping sentiments in! And I did just that with the above card. I selected a lovely sentiment from ODBD's Little Things set. I added a dash of lace edging and called it a day! Super quick and super fun! The card below was made with the same paper just without an ODBD sentiment. I utiilized one of the fun sayings already on the paper! Thanks as always for reading! Blessings...



Ingredients

Paper - Bazzill, Bo Bunny Smoochables; Stamps - ODBD Little Things; Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa, Lace, Ribbon
