No better friend...

9:42 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hi All!! It has been quite a while since I last posted here. We are now in our new home but still have a lot to do to unpack and get settled. It has now been a week...We love the house but still have a lot to get used to moving 500 miles away. All in time....

Anywho...today I am popping in to share one of the darling new sets at Our Daily Bread Designs. I have missed my stamps but after not playing with them for so long I feel mojoless. It may take a bit to get myself retrained. LOL!

The set I used for my card is Cat Sympathy (an ODBD stamp set). While a lot of the sentiments are great for sending to a friend who has lost their dear pet friend, it is such a darling image for any occasion. The designer paper is not really paper, it is material. I found it at Hobby Lobby prior to our move. The image is colored with copics. The die to frame the image is a Spellbinders Floral Ovals. The ribbon is May Arts Silk tied with the bow easy.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation!
Have a blessed day!!

hugs and blessings,

ODBDSLC77 Fall colors or theme- Pop Top Box

9:13 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!!

With fall coming up this week, the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs is challenging you to use fall colors or a fall theme!!

Here is my take on the challenge:

For my creation, I used the Seeds and the Garden Tag Releases from the Our Daily Bread Designs September release. The image is from the Garden Tag set and is colored with copics. The quote is from the Seeds set and is cut out with the Spellbinders Grommet Tags Trio. This gift box uses the Pop n Top Template which is available as an SVG or PNG. file from Perfect Presentations and some Basic Grey Curio dp.

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

Happy Saturday all!! I am officially homeless for a spell so I had to preschedule this post. Hopefully we will be settled in our new home soon and I can be back to normal (whatever that is...LOL!)

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs:

Today marks the third March Anniversary challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. . One of the traditional gifts is silk for the fourth anniversary. This week's challenge is to use silk or faux silk on your creation with your Our Daily Bread Designs stamps. Angie has created a wonderful tutorial for the faux silk technique on the Our Daily Bread Designs blog.

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, March 30th at 8 a.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 most of our challenges, this month it is an Our Daily Bread Designs only challenge month in honore of the ODBD 4th Anniversary. Three or more of our participants will be chosen 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 Friday, March 30th at 8 a.m. EST.

Well let us try this again!! I posted my card yesterday but blogger would not post the photo....grrrrr!!
sorry!!!!

Happy Thursday all!!! I hope all is well for all!! Sorry for my absence....in addition to a lack of technology, things have been quite eventful for our family in the last week. We have now moved our furniture and boxes onto a tractor trailer to be stored for a few weeks and have had a closing on our house here in NY. We are now currently in limbo without a home...visiting with a variety of family. While I am enjoying my family time, I look forward to some sort of routine and knowing where things are.

Today I would like to share one of the last cards I created before having all my stamps and supplies packed up. This card uses the Quote Collection 2 recently release for Our Daily Bread Designs 4th Anniversary and the images of butterflies from the ODBD stamp set Faith.

The background of my card is embossed with three different Provocraft embossing folders: D'vine Swirl, Victoria, and Polka Dots on Neenah Solar White Cardstock. The dies used include Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish and Exotic Butterflies Small and Spellbinders Lacey Circles and standard circles. The ribbon is May Arts White Silk and 1/2 inch white wrinkled ribbon. The lace is from a RAK. The bottom of the card is punched with a Martha Stewart Daisy Border die.

I am entering this card into Word Art Wednesdays. This week's scripture they are sharing is
