Happy Saturday Everyone!!  I hope you are all having a good start to the weekend.


Today I have the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge to share with you.



The team would like you to create a card or project

that has a colored image.


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 22. 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.

If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC21. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now on to my take on the challenge:



Since so many challenges are focusing on Christmas in July including the Stamping in Time Challenge at ODBD, I thought I would get a head start creating a calendar for my Mom and Dad for Christmas.  I used the Sing for Joy stamp set and the verse from Christmas Verses at Our Daily Bread Designs.  

My dear blogging friend Dawn has been sharing her wonderful calendar pages on her blog for some time.  I so loved this idea as a Christmas gift that I had my dear husband create me a calendar holder as well.  I then printed off the calendar templates created by Cat at SCS here.  It has all the months for 2010.  I hope soon that I can find a template for a 2011 calendar so I can continue my calendar pages.
