ODBDSLC96 "Heart" Word challenge ~ Mercy~

Happy Saturday all!! I can't believe it has been a week since I posted. It has been very busy but also very rewarding. Last weekend we went to Virginia and were able to secure a contract on the house we liked!!! It is so exciting and yet so scary!! I know God is in control and I need not worry but starting new is somewhat scary.

Anywho....Today I am here to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's challenge:

This week the challenge team would like to see your creations using three items, materials, or techniques beginning with three different letters in the word “HEART”.

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, February 17th 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.
