ODBDSLC95 Secret Admirer Case challenge- Vintage

5:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday All!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!! I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge. I am currently away looking for a house in Virginia since this past week we received a signed contract on our house in New York!! God is good!! Praise God in this dwindling economy, He provided us with a buyer and an excellent real estate agent. Now I pray that we find the right house in Virginia.

Anywho.....

This week's Shining the Light challenge is:

Since it is February and we are acknowledging national heroes (President’s Day) or people who are special to us (Valentine’s Day) in the U.S. , the challenge team is challenging you to acknowledge and case a crafter you admire or a creation you admire changing just two elements to make it our own.

Please let us know who you cased and leave a link to their creation as well as tell us what you changed.

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, February 10th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once. Additional entries without using ODBD stamps will not be commented on or will they qualify for prizes.

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 1 to 2 creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award.Inorder to qualify for this award, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have yoursubmission added to Mr. Linky by Friday, February 10th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC95. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

This was a very fun challenge for me. I just wish I was able to case many more than just one. Unfortunately my time has been very limited lately. I was deeply honored to have the opportunity to case my dear friend, Sabrina. Sabrina is not only very talented but she has a heart of gold. I just love her!!! Not too long ago, she sent a gorgeous vintage tag she created to me. I love and cherish it so, that I just had to case it for this week's challenge.

I changed the flower ( I made mine of lace), the colors, the sentiment, the dies, and the background was stamped using the Grunge Butterfly Background and the It is Well with my Soul Background

Tag Recipe

ODBD Stamps Used: The Mighty Sea, It is Well with my Soul background, Grunge Butterfly Background

Accessories: turquoise seam binding, baja breeze ink, SU striped grosgrain ribbon for leaf, lace, stickpin and beads, Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents, heart charm, love charm, Spellbinders Grand Caliber

While this tag is not necessarily Valentine's, it is based on a love theme. Who loves us more than God himself. What a comfort to know that He is with us in both in the storms and in the rainbows of our life. What greater love did the Father share with us than to send His one and only Son into the world to die for us and give us eternal life. I know that amidst the trials our family has faced an continue to face in selling our home and now putting an offer in on a new one that He was a comfort directing our paths in every step of the way. It is during the low points of our life that we can truly see His leading and feel His comforting hand carrying us through...if we trust in Him.

SC Product Spotlight ~Love Blooms where seeds are planted~ tag

2:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

If you are here for the ODBD Alumni "For the Love of ODBD Dies" Blog Hop, click here.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I hope you all have had a good weekend!! I spent most of the weekend huddled inside since it has been the coldest ever since the winter begun...7 degrees!!! Granted we have been spoiled with mostly spring like temperatures. But that is a tad chilly in my book. We also got 6 inches of snow so my crazy girls played in the snow with the biggest kid of all...my husband Scott. LOL! He had a great time pulling the girls on the toboggan with his quad.

Today I am popping in to share a tag I made using the latest Product Spotlight at Stamp and Create: Belles n Whistles!!

This week's Product Spotlight Sale is: Belles 'n Whistles

All Belles 'n Whistles Stamps are on sale 25% off through Sunday night

The store is currently out of stock of a few designs but have a restock delivery on the way - they should be instock by Thursday. However, the following designs are on back order and will not be available for the sale: Patches 'n Braids, Sweet Apples, and Sweet Summer Days.

The sale is "while supplies lasts".

Here is my creation using Watering from Belles n Whistles:

For my tag, I used Watering from Belles n Whistles. The image is colored with copics. In addition to the image, the pink (1/2 inch) wrinkled ribbon, white silk ribbon, and love charm are also available in the Stamp and Create store. The lace and floweret ribbon were given to me in a RAK by my dear friend, Sabrina. The dp and image panel is framed with the Fleur De Lis Rectangles from Spellbinders. The sentiment is computer generated and framed with the Twisted Metal tags and accentes dies from Spellbinders. The shape of the tag uses the Spellbinders Labels Labels 8 which I embossed with a SU embossing folder. The rose button is from my stash. The dp is from My Mind's Eye.

SSIC ~Ornament Tags~

6:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you have been enjoying the weekend!! It has been a very busy weekend for our family with so much going on. Yesterday we had a mother/daughter Christmas craft day at church. It was fun and quality time with my girls.

Today I am popping in to share the new Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge.

This week's host is Lisa.

Lisa chose the verse:
Matthew 1:20-22, "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.' All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel' which means, 'God with us.'"

This verse is what Christmas is all about. God sending His one and only son who was perfect and without sin. He made Him human so one day He could pay for our sins. What a miracle!! What Grace!!!! Can you imagine how overwhelmed Joseph and Mary must have been to know that God was using them for the biggest gift ever!! What an awesome responsibility!! Yet they were so humble! God uses each one of us for His purposes. Are you following God's plan for your life? Are you truly thankful for the awesome gift God has given us this Christmas or are you thinking about family, presents, decorations, festivities...At this time of year it is so easy to get so bogged down with all the holiday happenings and not put the true emphasis on what is most important about the "holy-days". Merry Christ-mas!!!!

Lisa has challenge us to:
Make a card/project depicting an angel

Here is my take on the challenge using the Ornaments 2 stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs and the Spellbinders Holiday Tags 2 die. Since most of my Christmas stamp sets and anything with angels are packed, this challenge was a real challenge for me. Unpacking boxes and finding this one angel charm took me much more time and mess then actually creating these tags. I wish I had found my angel stamps...boohoo.

I truly had fun making these ornament tags. I can't wait to make more to decorate the gifts!!

I hope you enjoyed my creation.

Be sure to check out Lisa's devotional on the SSIC Blog, as I know you'll be blessed!

For more inspiration please visit my DT Sisters:

Thanks for stopping by and for all your comments!! They are greatly appreciated!!

Have a great day!!
