ODBDSLC40 Sketch- Christmas blessings

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

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope all are well and enjoying the weekend!! I know I am...today I have some away time to myself shopping without the kids. I treasure some quiet time since I do home school my girls. I love my girls but I guess we all need some me time...right? I always look forward to going out for a bit and then within an hour am ready to go back and see them...funny, huh?

Well anywho...today it is time for another Our Daily Bread Designs challenge.
This week's Challenge:
Well...it has been a while since we had a sketch so this week I created a sketch for our players and the talented challenge team to play with.

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,

December 9. 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 are not using ODBD stamps, however, you may only enter your creation once. 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 December 9 at 8 p.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC40. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now on to my creation:

Normally I don't use such bright colors but I just love the look of the Mitten Weather snowflake paper from Cosmo Cricket. So vibrant and cheerful, isn't it? The sentiment is one of the new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs called Christmas Blessings. These sentiments make great inside sentiments as well!!

I used a brand new embossing folder from Sizzix sent to me by my dear friend Crystal. Thanks hun!! I just love the folder and will use it again where you can see more of the floral poinsettia background! I punched the bottom of my one panel with a half snowflake border punch from EK Success.
