BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post....life gets crazy sometimes!! Last weekend I worked at the Our Daily Bread Designs booth at the Cincinnati stamp show....what a blast, but crazy-busy!!! I'm really looking forward to the next one I'll be working at, which will be in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in October. Hey, if you want to know if Kelley and the gang are coming to a show near you, check out the "Stamp Shows" link on the ODBD homepage!

Okay, announcement number one: I am the new "Bible Verse Thursday" challenge hostess over at Christian Paper Crafts!!! Unfortunately, Taylor had to step down due to personal reasons, but I was more than happy to step in and help out. Each Thursday I will choose a different verse for everyone to use, plus throw in a little twist with techniques, tools to use, etc. This week the verse to use is Ecclesiastes 3:1 plus use a monochromatic color scheme on your project. This scripture stamp is from the ODBD Anniversary Collection, called "Scripture Collection 1". I used one of the new Stampin' Up colors, Rich Razzleberry, which matches the K & Co. "Madeline" dsp perfectly! I used the Martha Stuart Fleur de lis border punch, Spellbinders Labels Four, Basic Grey Opaline Pearls, retired Organdy ribbon from SU, retired Mauve Mist ink for sponging, and my fave....Pearl Glimmer Mist over everything!!!. The layout design is from the sketch challenge this week over at Splitcoast, although I flipped it on its side.

My second big announcement is that we have three new Design Team Members over at Christian Paper Crafts!
Chelsea Cook is our "Wait For The Lord Wednesday" hostess, where she will give away an RAK to someone in need each week. Check out yesterday's post here.
Mary Collins is a wonderful, sweet addition to our team and has been an encouragement to others since the beginning of CPC.
Natalie Houston has also helped to build a very strong foundation at CPC with her knowledge of the Word and lifts up others daily.
I am personally blessed each day by our entire team, which includes Marcelle Shauer, Patter Cross, Janette Olen, and CPC's founder, Cindy Coutts! What an awesome mission Cindy has started. Come on over and check out the Bible Studies, Daily Devotionals, plus anything about papercrafting!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed day!!
