Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are enjoying the weekend.  This is the last weekend on the campground.  I am just popping in to share the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.
This week's Challenge:



This week the team is challenging you to use some of those forgotten embellishments in your stash. Use Buttons, brads or eyelets on your card.

Happy Thursday!  I hope everyone is having a good summer.  I have begun homeschooling my girls but this week we moved our classroom to a campground.  We work on our schoolwork in the a.m. and have recreation all afternoon.

Anywho...today it is time for another Divine Diva Inspiration challenge.  Lori sent each of us this photo to be inspired with:

 I was inspired by the sage panels, the distressed wood as  well as the big bloom in the photo.  So...I wiped off the dust on my Bella Blooms set from SU!!  I so love my SU sets and I use them so infrequently.  How sad!!  I really enjoyed creating with this stamp set.  I used one of the layouts from the Dirty Dozen challenges this past summer.

For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters:

This is my second hop of the day so if you came here for the Your Next Stamp hop, click here:

If you came here for the Our Daily Bread Designs blog and you have come here from Julie's blog, you are in the right place.  If not you may want to go back to the beginning at the ODBD blog  for a chance to win one of three awesome prizes!! 

That is right!!!There are THREE prizes and this month there will be a $15.00 Gift Certificate, a $20.00 GC and a $25.00 GC to go toward stamps from the ODBD Store, but they are hidden on three different designer's blogs! You won't know who has the prizes! Even we don't know who they are. The Blog Hop will run from 8am Eastern on September 1 through 8pm Eastern September 2. After Sept. 2 three designers with the prizes will randomly select their winner from their commenters. They will check this ODBD post to be sure the person they draw has left their comment here, stating that they have completed the hop and left comments along the way....so make sure you make each stop and write a comment.

Here is a reminder of what you have to do to be eligible to win one of the prizes:

~ Hop to each blog, leave a comment on each one.

~ Return  to the ODBD Blog and leave a comment here telling us that you completed the hop and left everyone comments.

~ If for any reason you cannot leave a comment, please give us the name/s of the designers you were unable to leave comments for... and you'll still be qualified for the drawing.

Here is my creation:


For my card I used the Peace, Brocade Borders, and Brocade Background (stamped in versamark and embossed in Kaleidoscope embossing powder on not quite navy in the circle panel).  The dp is Retired SU paper-Urban Garden.  The corners are created with the Cuttlebug Vintage corners.  The butterfly uses the SU Sizzix Butterfly Die.  My layout uses an old sketch from Sketches for you to Try designed by Jen.

Thanks for stopping by today and for your sweet comments.  The next stop on the hop is the ever so talented and sweet Grace.

Have a blessed day!!
