ODBDSLC113 Birds and Butterflies

Happy Saturday all!! I hope everyone is well!! Boy has it been hot here in Virginia since I got home. I am not complaining...just saying. The air conditioning sure feels good. Summer is here!! Today I would like to share a Summer card I created for this weeks Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs:

This week we have a real challenge for you!! Let's see you use three or more stamps on your creation. They can be images, backgrounds or sentiments but you must use three or more stamps.

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, June 29th 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, June 29th at 8 a.m. EST.
