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. In order to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, March 30th at 8 a.m. EST. 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:

Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here! I wanted to share a card I created last week using ODBD's Father's Day set. I know Father's Day won't be here until June but when inspiration strikes... ya just gotta go with it!

Here's the final product...



The base is kraft card stock with a heavily distressed green matting. I embossed the brown card stock using a Sizzix folder. After dry embossing, I inked up my brayer with Versamark Watermark Ink and rolled it over the embossed paper. Once the raised pattern was inked, I sprinkled it all with clear embossing powder, shaking off all excess. I then used a heat gun to emboss those areas. I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa on kraft paper and embossed with a Spellbinder die, inking all edges. A Cheery Lynn Designs die gives the illusion of foliage. I then cut three flower cuts from Chricut's Flower Shoppe cart. Each cut had four petals until I removed one and glued it together. Now I have flowers that look like trillium one of my new favorite wildflowers! A few bits of Flowersoft finish off the centers! Thanks for visiting and don't forget to stop back by Saturday to see what next week's Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge will be! It will be fun!

Blessings...

STV12MON9 ~ Goldenrod

Welcome and thanks for stopping in! Are you ever guilty of letting a colored image languish on your desk? I mean well! I go into a coloring frenzy and put projects aside to work on "later." But unfortunately, later never comes! So today I have decided to stop the insanity! I pulled out an image from Gina K. Designs' Stately Flowers 2 and went to work!

I purchased this set since it includes the state weed **ahem, flower*** of Kentucky. Nothing makes this native Kentucky girl as happy as seeing a field of goldenrod **achoo** blooming in **achoo** August. WELL, maybe my allergies are not so happy! Anywho... Thought you might enjoy the project...



This project was super easy and fun to do! I was able to snap up some scraps from my stash, a pearl flourish and lace to pull it together. Thanks for visiting and until next time... Blessings...

The Glory of God - Part 2

Thanks for stopping in! I must admit I love the new 4th Anniversary Release at ODBD! And I had to pop in and share another card I created using my favorite scripture selection, Psalm 19:1 from ODBD's new release, Scripture Collection 9...



If you haven't had a chance to check out Angie's faux silk technique click HERE. It is too fun! I found the green tissue paper in my stash of goodies. I love this technique so much, I found myself buying more tissue paper at our local dollar store. I think the little checkout fella was worried about me buying $15 dollars worth of tissue paper... lol...

I used the faux silk for two separate mat layers and then framed my scripture panel with a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis and Oval die. I also used the lovely clover image from Simple Things lightly colored with Copics. A few pearls and a lovely spring card was ready to mail! Thanks for stopping in and until next time... Blessings...

The Glory of God

Thanks so much for stopping in today! Be sure to grab a cuppa java and stay awhile!

This month Our Daily Bread Designs celebrates a big anniversary, 4 years in business! Kelley and crew have been such a blessing to me! I count myself very fortunate to be able to share God's word with so many people via ODBD's stamps on my projects. If you missed the fun, this past week ODBD had a huge anniversary release. And as in years past the design team was given the opportunity to submit not only favorite scripture but quotes and sentiments to be made into stamps! For my scripture I selected Psalm 19:1...



This is a clean and simple project for me. The base is white card stock with a black matting. I dusted a rainbow of chalks on with my finger and then added a spray sealant to secure. The sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black) was placed over the chalk. Make sure the sealant is completely dry or your image will bleed! I then used a corner rounder on alternate corners and trimmed the panel down to be slightly smaller than the black mat. Very simple, very clean and a powerful testimony to the one who spoke the world into existence... Blessings...

SSIC131 & CPS157 ~ He is Risen

Thanks so much for stopping by! Thanks again to all of those who stopped by over the last few days to celebrate Our Daily Bread Designs' 4th Anniversary! I appreciate your feedback. In the coming days I will showcase a few more creations using the scripture I submitted as well as other design team selections! I will even have a clean and simple card coming this week! (I can't believe it myself... lol)...

Today I am playing along in a few challenges. I am also using some new supplies in my stash! I LOVE to do that! So here is today's sketch from Card Patterns...



And my interpretation using some new items I picked up recently from my Close to My Heart contact and good friend Emily.



Not sure how I feel about the coloring on little lambie but he was as close to a Khatahdin as I could get! The Stampin' Sisters in Christ ladies have issued a new challenge as well. They asked participants to do something related to spring. I thought the lamb image as well as Easter sentiment were perfect! Thanks again and until next time... blessings...
