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

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, February 3rd at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC94. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

This heart box uses the heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast. I just love boxes and her heart box looked so beautiful, I had to give it a go. I used a sentiment (which I love) from the new Mighty Ocean stamp set at Our Daily Bread Designs to be released on Feb. 1. The dp is from Echo Park Victoria Garden. The heart shape uses the Classic Hearts and Scalloped hearts from Spellbinders. The flowers are recycled primas that I crunched, crinkled and layered. The leaf flourish is from Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish. The other leaves are embossed and cut out with the Martha Stewart's Leaf punch. The pearl beads, pearl heart pin, and lace were gifted to me by a very dear friend!!!

The inside of my box:

Heart Box Recipe:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- sneak peek of The Mighty Ocean

Paper: Neenah White (110 lb,), Echo Park Dp

Accessories: Spellbinders Heart (Classic and Scalloped), May Arts Satin White Ribbon, Pearl hat pin, Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish, lace, ruffled ribbon, recycled Prima flowers, Martha Stewart Twig punch, pink pearl beads

Tutorial: heart box tutorial written by Beate on Splitcoast

In case you can't read the sentiment, this is what it says:
For as deep as the ocean,
or as wide as the sea,
so is His love given to thee.

There seems no greater love I can think of, even at Valentine's Day, than that of the Father to send His one and only Son into this world as both spirit and human to sacrifice His life on the cross for us. Thanks be to God for this eternal gift!!

I made this box for Valentine's Day but also as a reminder for someone who will be going through a very serious stem cell transplant shortly. I pray this uplifts her and reminds her of the Father's love!!

I am also entering this in three other challenges. The Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #123, to make a heart stand out on your card/project which you can find here. The verse for the challenge is:

Scripture: "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." Proverbs 3:3

The second challenge is from Cheery Lynn Designs for Challenge #12, to use dry embossing and Cheery Lynn dies. You can find the challenge here. I dry embossed the leaves on my creation and used the Fanciful Flourish die.

and

The Third Challenge is Word Art Wednesday which a relatively new challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to share quotes and passages of the Bible.
