Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Hello Friends!! Today, the Bread Basket at ODBD is celebrating Christmas with a special Deck the Halls event.  Some of the team will be sharing ornaments, gift packaging, tags and etc. for Christmas!! You won't want to miss it!!  There will not only be lots of inspiration but also a $15 gift certificate toward stamps that can be won by one random winner.  Some of the team are also offering an ornament or special gift to a random winner (you won't know who or where it is).  You have until December 18 at 8pm EST to leave a comment on each of the participants blogs and on the ODBD post here.

Hello Friends!! I hope all is well!!  I hope you are all warm and safe....a couple more weeks until it is Spring here (at least by date).  Only one month until Easter!!  I am so ready not only for Spring flowers and the warmer weather.  We have had so much snow in the last few weeks.

As we approach Easter, I know I reflect on how blessed I am to have a Savior who gave His life for me not for my works but by grace alone I am saved because I believe and have faith  and trust in Him.  If it were for works, I would be sunk!!!  I am by no means perfect.


For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.  John 3:16

Today's card uses the colors for the color challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs which is pastels.  I went with the light blue, light purple, and green.  My colors are a tad bit brighter but that was the closest I could get.




Here are the colors for the challenge:

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs  August Release, here is the card/project I created using Peaches and the Fancy Foliage Die!!  I just love all the stamps and dies this month.  They are so fun, beautiful and versatile!! 


Here is my creation:



The shape and labels of the card uses Labels one and Decorative Labels one from Spellbinders.  The image is embossed with a basket weave embossing folder to give it the look of Aida cloth.  The other layers are embossed with Darice Damask.  The image is colored with copics.


Here are the stamps and dies used from Our Daily Bread Designs:

Happy Tuesday Friends!!  It has been nice to be home for the last couple of days but boy has life been busy.  You go away for 5 days and it takes 5 days to catch up.  LOL!!!

Yesterday, between digging out sod to create yet another garden in our backyard, I created a card for this week's sketch challenge at the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge.

Happy Monday all!! It has been a while since I have posted on a Monday.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! I know I did!!  The girls and I went for an enjoyable week to visit my parents in NY.  We had a great time visiting with family but it was so nice to come home and spend the weekend with my dear husband.  I so missed him while we were away!!  I thank God for such a dear friend and a husband I treasure so much!!

Today I would like to share a berry-licious card.  I just love the Our Daily Bread Designs Apron and tool dies.  When I saw the August Releases, I just knew the many fruit and vegetable themed stamps would be perfect with this set to make a creative card.  Here is what I created with the Strawberry and Pickles, Strawberries (sentiment), and Garden Mini's stamp set.  

After coloring and cutting out my strawberries, I changed my plan for creating a background  and adhered them to a white base, cut the background out with the apron die and then embossed it with a Basket weave embossing folder.

Here is my creation:

Hi all!!  I just love summer and all the flowers!!  Spring and summer are so exciting as you see the flowers bloom!!

Today I would like to share a card I made with Poppies!!  I decided to try something I had never done before....color an embossed background. This is NOT DESIGNER PAPER but rather I colored a piece of Neenah White Cardstock embossed with the Cuttlebug Poppy designed by Anna Griffin. I used copics 100 (black) G82, YG17, R81, R83, and R85.






The sentiment is from the Birthday Blessings stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs . It is framed with the Spellbinders Classic Ovals and Beaded Ovals. The panel behind the oval is made with the Ribbon Banners dies from Spellbinders.


I hope you enjoyed my creation and are somehow inspired!! May God bless you with a wonderful week!!

hugs and blessings,

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all have had a great weekend!!  Boy how time flies.  Last week was extremely busy for my hubby and I and the weekend we so both looked forward to has just flown by!!

Anywho..today I am popping to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD!!  For the month of August we are doing something different.  We will have sketches for the whole month.  I love sketches and we hope you do too!!!

Here is the sketch for this week:



Of course with every sketch, there is one that has to put a different spin in there interpretation....this week it is me.  I tried to just put strips behind my image and a few flourishes but I just wasn't happy with it so...I made the flourishes my strips!!

Here is my take on the challenge:




I so enjoyed coloring all the strawberries and the basket in with copics.
