Saturday, November 12, 2011
Happy Saturday Everyone!! First before going on, I want to apologize for my lack of presence here on my blog or visiting your blogs. Besides having difficulty with migraines this week, it has been a very difficult week for us this week with trying to sell the house. I have been down. While I know God is in control, I need to trust Him more. I know one can say I will never do it again because God may have other plans but if I could I would say "Never again will I try to sell a house". The games people play with your mind in this market are AWFUL!!!
Anywho....on a happier note....It is time for another Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.
I really think this challenge leads to a more CAS type creation.
Thanks for stopping by and for all your comments!! They are greatly appreciated!!

When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.
Here is my take on the challenge:
For my card I used the Ornaments 2 stampset. What a fun set with a variety of sentiments and three beautiful ornaments. This set coordinates with the Heirloom Ornaments 2011 Spellbinder dies. The embossing is done with a Sizzix Poinsettia Embossing Folder. I added Gold Baubles inside the poinsettias. The border along the top is Spellbinders Holly Accents. The sentiment is cut out and mounted with the Spellbinders Petite Ovals and Fancy tags dies.
Card Recipe:
ODBD stamps: Ornaments 2
dies: Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments, Holly Accents, Fancy Tags, Petite Ovals
Accessories: gold embossing powder, Ivory Cardstock, lace, pearl trim, gold bauble bells, gold baubles, May Arts Burgundy Wrinkled Ribbon
