ODBD Bread Basket

Tuesday, August 16, 2016
Hello, Friends!!  Well, the summer is over here in VA, at least for the students.  School is back in session.  I begin working with homebound instruction shortly as well but taking a week off after completing my 2 graduate classes.  Phew!! It is done.  The summer flew by!!

Today I would like to share a card I created with the Birdhouse stamp set released in August at Our Daily Bread Designs using the sketch challenge from this month's Shining the Light challenge!!  I added some additional flowers and leaves as well as a bird (which I colored as a gold finch) and popped them up on dimensionals.

Matthew 6: 25-27
25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns — and yet yourHeavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifespan?…


If you would like to join the challenge.  We would love to see your creations.  You have until September 4 to add your creation to the linky here for a chance to win a $15 random gift code toward ODBD stamps.  While you may use any stamps or dies for the first creation, we ask that you only use Northcoast Creations, Our Daily Bread Designs, and/or Artistic Outpost on any additional entries.  Any additional entries not using at least one of these company products will be deleted.

Here is the sketch:
