ODBDSLC109 Sketch- My Shield

Happy Saturday!! It has been a while since I posted since our family had been sick with the flu, my ability to craft was hindered by pulling a muscle in my shoulder, and my computer crashed AGAIN. Grrr! Looks like I will have to take the computer in since I think Windows has been deleted somehow. While computers are a necessary evil the expense is killing me!!!

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

This week's challenge:

is a sketch!!!

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 25th 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 25th at 8 a.m. EST.
