ODBDSLC104 S-P-R-I-N-G Word challenge- Prayer of St. Frances

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

Happy Saturday all!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend! Today we are taking a break from the unpacking of the house to work on the outside since the weather is going to be so beautiful. I just love landscaping and working in the garden so it will be a fun break.

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. It has been a while since I could join the talented team. I have missed it tremendously!

Anywho....

This week's challenge:

Use three of the letters in the word “Spring” for your embellishments, materials, or your image. Example- s=stitching, p=pink, r=ribbon, i=ink, n=nestabilities, g=green Please let us know the letters and items you used.

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, April 20th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

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 three or more of our participants for the Shining the Light Award . In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, April 20th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC104. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

mixamatoasties said...: Your card is very beautiful and thanks for linking up to Totally Papercrafts. Unfortunately the "Bingo" challenge is now closed and this week's challenge is "Things With Wings". I've had a look at your card and unfortunately can't see anything with wings.

Sorry about that but we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
