Saturday, December 11, 2010
Happy Saturday everyone!! Sorry I have been neglecting my blog...I am just so busy and unable to keep up with it all. I needed to take a brief break to take care of the family and prepare for the holidays. Just so much to do and so little time. Today I am driving 2 1/2 hours one way to meet up with my best friend. We don't always have time to get together so this is a real treat.
I hope I will have time to comment on all your creations over the weekend. I do miss it.
Anywho...today it is time for another Shining the light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.
This week's Challenge:
Well...Christmas is just around the corner now and we haven't done any inspiration challenges yet so here is a collage of photos to inspire you. We can't wait to see what you create!!
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 16. 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 December 16 at 8 p.m. EST.
The only rules are that you must link only new creations and if you do not use ODBD stamps, please do not submit more than one entry.
If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC41. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge and a picture of the photo above which inspired you.I was inspired by this photo's colors and flowers on the tree.
For my card I used the Ornaments
stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs. I embossed it in gold and colored it with copics. This ornament fits perfectly inside the largest ornament die from Spellbinders.
The background is embossed with a Sizzix die (which was sent to me by my dear friend Crystal). I placed a red rhinestone in each flower for some extra sparkle. The ornament is bordered with gold glitter paper and is hung from a very small piece of ric rac (last of my stash...boo hoo...that I just could not just throw away). The ribbon is wrinkled ribbon from May Arts which I tied with the bow easy.
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Francie Gumprecht Patter Cross
Sabrina Jackson
