ODBDSLC107 Nicki's Graduation Layout

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

Happy Saturday all!! I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of your weekend!! Today is my dear husband's birthday!! Happy Birthday Scott!! So....today will be all about him and what he would like to do on his special day. It should be a fun day to spend together. Tomorrow we have some family coming to celebrate with us. That should be fun as well!!

Anywho...today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!

This week's challenge:

Since today is National Scrapbooking Day, we want to see you make a scrapbook layout (any size).

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, May 11th 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, May 11th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC107. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now on to my take on the challenge...my second layout ever!!!

The pictures are of my dear daughter, Nicki, on her sixth grade graduation last year at church Sunday School. All the sentiments and quotes are from the Dreams stamp set at Our Daily Bread Designs. The designer paper is Prima Meadow Lark. I just love the lavender and pinks in this paper. It is my dear daughter's favorite color. The images are framed with the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangles and Classic Rectangles. The "You did it!" and the border are from the Spellbinders Persian Accents. The flowers are recycled OLD prima flowers that I crunched and remolded. The leaves are made with Martha Stewart Twig Punches and Spellbinders Itty bitty blooms. The caps are Jolee Success Stickers. I did lots of sewing which you can see if you open the photo in a new tab. The stitching was done on my new sewing machine. Yeah!!!
