ODBD Bread Basket

Saturday, August 20, 2011
Happy Saturday All!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!  Our neighborhood has been quite the busy place.  Yesterday NBC moved in the area to start the "Extreme Makeover" 1/2 mile down the road from us.  It is kind of fun to see how it all works although I must stay I am keeping a little bit of my distance cause the area is swarmed with volunteers and workers etc.  It is a 24 hour job and the traffic of trucks etc. is unbelievable...

Anywho....I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD...


This weeks challenge: A sketch!!



To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for thprize must be submitted by Friday, August 26 at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on or will they qualify for prizes.

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. Inorder to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by August 26 at 8 a.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC73. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.


Here is my take on the sketch...after looking at my end product, it looks like I took a few liberties that normally would not for a sketch but it was too late when I figured it out.


ODBD stamps used: Weave in Faith
Papers: Basic Grey Capella, Kraft, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Spellbinders Jumbo scallop, seam binding, doily, prima flowers, EK Success punch
