Hi everyone! It's Tuesday....that means another card challenge over at the Our Daily Bread designs Forum. Since this is the fourth Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to present the "Classics Challenge", where we revisit an "oldie but goodie" challenge from the past.

If you do not have Our Daily Bread designs stamps, that's okay....you can include a blog link or thumbnail photo within your comment in the challenge thread.

I have also used the Clean and Simple Challenge from Splitcoast to use Rich Razzleberry and White only....this was a tough challenge, especially combining with the sketch while trying to keep it simple!

Surprise Challenge at the ODBD Forum!

Hello, everyone! Today is the 5th Tuesday of the month, which means "SURPRISE CHALLENGE" over at the ODBD Forum! Since there aren't many months with five Tuesdays, it seems like leap year! :D The 5th Tuesday Surprise Challenge this time around is to use stickers on your card, layout, or altered item. Any type of stickers will do..... 3-d stickers, Magenta or Flower Soft outlines or borders, create your own sticker with a Xyron, pearl or gem stickers, and so on...use your imagination! Come on over and play!!


The stickers I am using are from American Traditional Designs, called "Seashore" I picked these up at the Covered Bridge Festival last year....at the time I didn't know what I would do with them, until Our Daily Bread designs came out with the most awesome stamps for February with an ocean theme! Yay!!

The scene was created by using scratch paper for masking and then the ocean and sky were colored with sponge daubers and ink pads. The sand dune was created by tearing, sponging, and layering two pieces of Crumb Cake cardstock. The sun was sponged inside the punchout of a circle punch. Hubby was proud that I didn't totally fill up the open space....I was tempted to add a bow in the corner, but resisted!!




Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'The Sea' (available February 1);
Cardstock: SU Cameo Coral , Crumb Cake, and Whisper White;
Ink: Stazon Timber Brown, SU Cameo Coral, Calypso Coral, Barely Banana, Crumb Cake;

ODBDCC03 Classic "Color" Challenge!

Hi everyone! Welcome to Classics Challenge number three over at the ODBD Forum! Every Tuesday, there is a new card challenge....this week we will revisit a "classic" color challenge from the Christian Paper Crafts era of the forum. Though I do not believe in "coincidences", the timing of this color challenge and inspiration photo was perfect to create a sneaky peek of an upcoming set by Our Daily Bread designs, called "The Mighty Sea", which will be released on February 1. I have also entered this in the Hand-Stamped Sentiments "Beach" Challenge.



The ocean scene and sentiment were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then colored using sponge daubers and ink pads, plus markers. The ODBD Fence Die cut was wrapped in blue and white baker's twine to bring out the blue in the ocean. The card was embossed with a SU Square Lattice embossing folder.


Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'The Mighty Sea';
Cardstock: SU Bravo Burgundy, Bordering Blue, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White;
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, SU Bravo Burgundy, Bordering Blue, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Apricot Appeal;

Classics Challenge

Hello, everyone! Happy Tuesday! Today is my very first day hosting a new challenge over at the ODBD Forum, previously known as Christian Paper Crafts. Our Daily Bread designs has recently acquired the community forum, which now looks different, but things are mostly the same. Though the normal challenges remain on the ODBD blog each month, at the ODBD Forum, there are weekly challenges just for fun, which have been carried over from Christian Paper Crafts. Come on over and check us out! There is a John Bible study by Natalie Houston which is very thorough and insightful, there are devotionals, praise and prayer requests, plus lots of paper-crafting tips and fun as well.



One of the new challenges at the ODBD Forum is the Classic Challenge, which revisits some classic color and sketch challenges from Christian Paper Crafts. This weeks Classic Challenge, ODBDCC01,is a color challenge and is based on the previous CPC84 inspiration piece.....use the colors from this cute little high chair. I love all of the browns and blues together....one of my fave color combos! I chose to use Memory Box 'Minuet' designer paper since it matched all of the colors of the high chair. Memory Box seems to have just about any color combo you need!

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Faith';
Cardstock: SU Crumb Cake and Whisper White;
Designer Paper: 'Minuet' by Memory Box;
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Ranger Antique Linen, SU Bashful Blue;
