ODBDSLC195 Sweeter than Honey

Hello Friends!!

Yesterday marked the 6th Anniversary of ODBD being in business. In celebration the Shining the Light Challenge Team at Our Daily Bread Designs is having challenges each week of March related to the Anniversary.

This week's challenge is to use 6 of something on your creation. It can be six words, six stamps, 6 layers, six pearls, six flowers and etc.

I made two cards for today's challenge.

Yesterday Our Daily Bread Designs celebrated their 6th year Anniversary and had a new release of many Beautiful quotes, scripture and sentiments!! For my first creation I just had to use one of my fave quotes which I feel is a great reminder. It has 6 words....

Resting and letting have God have total control is very difficult. I sometimes feel like I should help him along...but that is not faith...

ODBD Stamps Used: Quote Collection 4

ODBD Dies Used: ODBD Recipe and Tags Die, Beautiful Borders

Embossing folder- Darice Flourished Leaves

Paper: My Mind's Eye

Here is my creation using six stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Card Recipe:

Dies:ODBD Beautiful Borders, ODBD Elegant Ovals, ODBD Custom Zinnia and Leaves dies, Ornate Borders and flowers dies
Paper: Blooming Garden Collection
Embossing Folder: Darice Honeycomb

What a powerful verse. While David is talking about God's sweet words, all words have the ability to encourage or tear down. Many have heard the old adage "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." How untrue!! Words do and can kill. In the same way that hurtful words can harm, kind words encourage.

Can you encourage someone to day with a kind word?
