ODBDSLC36 Gold...Holiday gifts

6:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are all having a good weekend!! Life has been hectic and very busy lately which has cut into my crafting time. So many things to do and just not enough hours in a day to do it all. I have to admit, though, that I also have a lot on my mind at the moment and I am not as productive as usual either.

I am not complaining...Believe you me I am thankful for my health and so many other blessings bestowed upon me.

Anywho...It is time for another Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's Challenge:
To use gold or silver cording, craft hemp or string of some sort.Sometimes we just use ribbons or whatever is close at our fingertips and neglect to use some of our embellishments. I hope this helps you think outside of the box.

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,
November 11. 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 November 11 at 8 p.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC36. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my creation using the Holly Tag Set , Poinsettia Tag Set, Tag die,
this months new releases at Our Daily Bread Designs. The die is a match to all the new tag sets in the ODBD store.

I created a template of my own to make this bag. The dp is from Stampin up. It is retired and I am unsure of the name. The burgundy ribbon is silk and the gold is sheer, both are from May Arts. The glittery green ribbon is from Ribbon Bowtique at Michaels.
