About Me
- Chris Olsen, Glowbug
- Hi! I am Chris, also known as Glowbug on Splitcoaststampers. I live in Appomattox, VA. I so much enjoy blogging and the so many good friendships that have formed as a result. During my free time, I am creating cards or projects and I so enjoy Challenges. I have a very supportive husband, Scott, who understands my addiction and two young daughters,Meghan, 9 and Nicki, 12 years of age, who can't wait to get their hands on my stamps and embellishments. I was an elementary school teacher until my youngest was born. I have now been blessed with the opportunity to teach my two girls at home. I use stamping as a hobby or way to escape.

Happy Hump Day Friends!!
Two days of posts in a row have to be a record for me as of late. Time just seems to be something I don't have much of lately. But since I fell yesterday tripping over my computer cord (duh to me) and hurt my back, leg and left arm, it is raining, and I don't have work today, I do have more time. I made a quick one though since sitting on straight chairs is just a tad painful for me.
I decided to play with a sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. How fun!
To me the sketch was perfect for making a door. I used wood panel paper and put the sentiment in the door knob...perfect to go with the theme of the sentiment.
The keys are cut out of embossed gold paper using the Our Daily Bread Designs Angel Wings to be released tomorrow at ODBD. The Rustic Beauty paper collection and Keys to Heaven sentiment are also sneak peeks.

Hello Friends!! It seems like time to post on my blog has become less frequent these days. Finally this week I feel I can have fun crafting and do some blogging as well as have some R and R time. This week's work hours will be a little less...at least at the beginning of the week anyway. It is so fun to be able to spend more time with my darling daughters and do some things I have not had time for lately.
Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge which is to use Our Daily Bread Designs and Spring colors on your creation!! This is ODBD's 200th challenge!!!!
My creation uses the new stamps and dies to be released at Our Daily Bread Designs on Thursday: Glory, Carried to Heaven, and Vintage Labels dies. I nested the Vintage Labels in the Vintage Florish Pattern dies released last month.
The outside frame is created with the Majestic Labels 25 dies from Spellbinders.
Sympathy cards are so hard to make but it seems like they are needed so often. I hope this card inspires a recent widow.
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters: Linda Carson, Elizabeth Whisson, Diana Nguyen, Cheryl Scrivens, DJ Rants, and Robin Clendenning
To see all the creations in one place or join the challenge, click here. You have until May 4th to join us. If you participate you have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate toward ODBD stamps or to be spotlighted on the blog. We would love to see your creations!!
Challenges I am playing in:
Word Art Wednesday
I hope you are in some way inspired by my project!! Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. I truly appreciated them.
Blessings,

Happy Thursday Friends!! I hope everyone is doing well!! I can't believe Easter is right upon us!! Where does the time go?!! I am not only excited for celebrating the resurrection of a Savior but also that my parents are coming to visit for a week!! I have been so looking forward spending time with them.
Today I am popping in to share a card and Wish you all a Blessed Easter!!!
This card was created for a challenge at Splitcoast where Dawn challenged participants to take a slice off the front of the card and have the sentiment show on one side. What a fun style and fold. I did not use any designer paper but rather used Our Daily Bread Designs Chalkboard Words Background stamped in lovely lilac and the sentiment from ODBD The Cross. The cross on the top is cut out with ODBD Ornamental Cross die.
The border on the top is the ODBD Beautiful Borders die.
This card also fits this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD which is to make an Easter showing the true meaning of Easter and use pastels.
