Happy Saturday Everyone!! The weekend is here!!!! Our Daily Bread Designs and Saturday Spotlight are kicking off the weekend with a challenge!
Since it is February and we are acknowledging national hero’s (President’s day) or people who are special to us (Valentine’s Day) in the U.S. , the challenge team is challenging you to acknowledge and case a crafter you admire or a creation you admire changing just two elements to make it our own.
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, February 25. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. 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 February 25 at 8 p.m. EST.
If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC3. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.
Now on to my take on the challenge!!....
I am always in awe of many bloggers and their creations that this was indeed a challenge for me. I finally decided that I just loved the elegance of this creation by my dear friend and dt sister Angie Crockett, at Body Mind Spirit and Stamps. Angie has so many jaw dropping creations and you really should pop by her blog. I chose to case this card. ( This is not nearly as gorgeous as the original by Angie so you really should check out that link) I changed my colors from pink to green, added pearls around the edge of the scallops, changed the punch I used to a MS flower vine punch, and added the hummingbird charm. I also incorporated the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge which was to make a card or project for someone you love letting them know how much God loves them. I think this sentiment says it all.
card recipe:
Stamps: Sing for Joy from Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper: Basic Grey Origins, Gable Green, White
Accessories: hummingbird charm, pearls, Martha Stewart Flower Vine punch, Victoria Embossing folder, paper piercer, May Arts Light Green Ribbon

I hope you get a chance to create for this challenge. We so enjoy seeing everyone's creations.

Now on to today's Saturday Spotlight Challenge....
For this week's challenge.....
The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to do the Mess Around. Make your creation "messy" by distressing with ink, tearing edges, wrinkling car d stock, etc.
One Lucky winner will be randomly chosen to win a $15 gift Certific ate to be used at the Whimsy Stamps store....You could even use it for purchasing an image from their new Mythical Fairies and sentiment release on Feb 17 (4 fa iries and new sentiments)!!

This digital image will only be available to purchase, in digital format, from now until February 28th, 2010.
I had fun coloring this digi with my prisma color pencils and gamsol. The wings I gave a distressed look in keeping with the "Messy" challenge. Al the edges of my cardstock and dp is distressed as well with a distressing tool. I just recently purchased the dp from Michael's. I just love the colors and the patterns of this Tim Coffey (k&co. paper).

Wow-again, Chris!
If you look at these two cards side by side...they look like they are from two different people's art!
I have said it before, and it deserves to be said again...You are so diverse in your art. You can switch from "elegant romanticism" or a "lovely pure angel" to "extreme chaos" that you make look so beautiful! I love how even your "messy" art is so colorful, and has the mark of YOUR art...all of those many details coming together to make something extraordinary! Thank you so much for sharing it all with me/us!
He IS Able,

Thanks for playing along with us at Fussy & Fancy.
More and more awesome cards! Such a treat for the eyes!
Hi Chris,
Why is it that your "messy" does not look at all like my "messy?"
I made a bookmark for SSHP19, and I wanted to leave everyone a comment at that blog. Well, I went to do it...and they didn't have the "anonymous" choice, yet they required comments.
Here was mine:
"Hi there! I think I may have gone overboard with my "Distressing." At least you can surely call it "messy!"
This is my first time doing this particular type of challenge. I need to work on falling between "distressing" and "ruining."
You have an awesome team!!! I loved everyones examples! How great!
He IS Able,
Traci S."
