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

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are enjoying the weekend!! If you are anything like us, you have a lot holiday happenings this weekend!!

Today I am popping in to share this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge this week!!

This weeks challenge:

Use each letter of the word in NOEL to create your card.

For eg.

N- nestabilities, the word NOEL

O- Ovals, Our Daily Bread Designs, circles (shape)....

E- Embossing, envelopes ....

L- Lace, layers....

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 Friday, December 23 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 yoursubmission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, December 23 at 8 a.m. EST.If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC89. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge using the ODBD Stamps: Simple Things, Holiday Ornaments 2 ( I used the Case Study challenge (Amy Sheffer's card) from last week to create my layout, however that challenge has already expired. ) The clovers from the Simple Things are colored with copics and cut out with the customized ODBD Clover die. The image is framed with the Spellbinders Label 4 die. The sentiment from the Holiday Ornaments 2 stamps is framed with the Fancy Tags die from Spellbinders. After layering my card, I sewed around the edges in gold metallic thread. The embossing folder is Provocraft Scrollwork.

N=Nestabilities O=Our Daily Bread Designs and ovals, E=Embellishments and embossing, and L= leaves and layers
