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



Before stamping my image (ODBD's Faith set), I used a sticky note to mask off the center panel. I then stamped the image on top and rotated my paper and stamped it again on the bottom and removed the mask. I used a matching marker to gently line the top and stamped the scripture. I then cut/embossed the focal panel adding a coordinating DP scalloped oval to give a little definition. I placed a bit of lace under the panel itself as well as wrapping a scrap around the sentiment panel taking care to secure each end on the back before adding it to the scalloped background. A die flourish, mulberry roses and some coordinating paper punches add a little pizzaz. Thanks for stopping in and be sure to check out what my other Sister Sticks have for ya... Blessings...

Welcome to another daily project for Exploring Cricut. Don't you just love when something unexpected happens? Well, maybe not when unannounced visitors show up and you are stuffing things under the couch... In this case I stopped at a Hobby Lobby recently and found this fun feather accessory in the ribbon aisle. The original intention for this product was a hair bow. But I knew I wanted to make a peacock and not just any peacock... a CRICUT peacock! A dear friend of mine has a birthday in a few weeks and I knew she would love the humor of this sentiment...

Here he is...

I decided to work with the Daffodil Tag Set pictured below...



And my project this week...



I used a simple ecru card stock base. I then cut a matching doily die with the leftover card stock. I added a soft polka dotted DP panel at the bottom and edged it with a soft daffodil seam binding my dear friend Sabrina sent me along with soft cream flower trim. A wooden button and hemp string tied through hide the seams. I split my doily in two adhering one half to the top panel and one below. I stamped two Daffodil Tag Set images on Copic compatible card stock and colored both. After stamping a sentiment I chose Spellbinders' Small Labels to emboss and cut my tag. I then cut out one of the daffodil images and used dimensional foam to adhere to the original image. I the tag on my card and added Stardust Stickles to each daffofil for interest. A few random pearls scattered on the doily top it off! I just love yellow! Don't you??

Now next on the hop is Rosemary. She has a wonderful project to share! Thanks so much for hopping along with us! Blessings!

Houndstooth and Mother's Day?

Yes, tis true! I mixed a distinctly masculine print paper with a decidedly girly pattern and well... let's just say it is definitely different from my normal cards! Sometimes you have to just mix it up, right? Since it is my birthday... lol... I can do that right??? Seriously, it gave me a wonderful opportunity to use one of the new Spellbinder dies. Gotta love that!

MOJO223 ~ The Road Less Traveled

Thanks for stopping in! If you are looking for my ODBD Shining the Light post click HERE...

This month has been a special anniversary month for Our Daily Bread Designs. During the anniversary release, the designers were given the opportunity to submit a quote, sentiment or scripture to be created into a stamp. My dear challenge teammate Rosemary Dennis selected a wonderful quote by Robert Frost. I thought it would lend itself to the most recent Mojo Monday sketch shown here.



And here is my interpretation using Rosemary's favorite quote...



I combined card stock (black, ecru and off white) with DP by My Mind's Eye. I stamped the sentiment and used a Spellbinder die to emboss and cut it. A few sprigs of greenery created with Cheery Lynn & Spellbinder dies add some light. The flower? A lovely gift from one of the other ODBD designers, Sabrina. Thanks again! Enjoy! Stop back in this week as I have a few Cricut posts to share plus more fun ODBD projects! Blessings...

ODBDSLC101 ~ Silk or Faux Silk

Happy Saturday All!! So glad you stopped by! 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:

This month marks the third March Anniversary challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. One of the traditional gifts for a fourth anniversary is silk. This week’s challenge is to use silk or faux silk on your creation while using Our Daily Bread Designs stamps. Angie created a fabulous tutorial on this wonderful technique you can find HERE. There is a tutorial on SC as well. If you would rather not do this technique you can use silk or silk ribbon. But check out the tutorial first. It is not only easy but fun! I promise!

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, March 30th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced Saturday, March 31st. 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 nor will they qualify for prizes.

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! As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award.

If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword ODBDSLC101. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to our challenge.
Here's my take on this week's challenge...


For this card I chose ODBD's Scripture Collection 9. I began by paper punching the bottom of my white card stock base. I then prepared a faux silk panel using Angie's tutorial. The tissue I selected has a pale pink rose pattern. Once I cut the main panel out I cut a slightly larger coordinating pink mat to frame it. I prepared another smaller faux silk panel and then used a Spellbinder scalloped die to go between my scripture panel and the pink Spellbinders Floral Oval Panel. The scripture is from the Anniversary release, Scripture Collection 9. I added a few branches and a lovely dove from another Spellbinder set, Mix'd Media Elements. I added in a pink mulberry rose and a few paper punched rose leaves. A tiny jet bead gives Mrs. Dove an eye and a touch of a Copic marker adds a beak. A few pearls scattered around the edges add some bling! For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my Sister Sticks:
