Happy Tuesday All!! I hope you all have been having a great week!! While life has been busy the count down is on for our vacation in Lancaster. I can't wait!!! Many of the schools have begun and my girls have been doing their home school work for three weeks. They are doing great and I am so proud of all the hard work!! Fall is on it's way!!

Today I am popping in to share today'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 Sunday, August 19th at 8 p.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 Sunday, August 19th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC119. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge:

I just love embossed backgrounds and the new Vines Background released at ODBD is beautiful and elegant. The image is colored with copics and cut out with the crocheted circle die.

ODBD Stamp sets used: Serve the Lord , Vine Background

Dies: Crocheted Circle Die, Romantic Rectangles

Paper: Lost and Found- Sunshine

accessories: black gingham, baubles, pearls, rhinestones, button, hemp

Here are some of the items used:

Vine Background

Serve the Lord

Crocheted Circle Die

Romantic Rectangles
