Bible Verse Thursday - Anything is Possible

Happy Thursday! This week's Bible Verse Thursday Challenge over at Christian Paper Crafts is to use any verse about how ANYTHING is possible with God, plus you have to use some kind of sticker(s) on your project....I used two different kinds of Zva pearl stickers, plus the verse is also a sticker I picked up at the ODBD store. The nest image is from a brand new set from Our Daily Bread designs, called....um...... "Nest" ....the name is short and to the point, huh?! There are four new gorgeous sets to be released on February 1st.....don't miss our release day blog hop!!!

I have also used Gloria's Sketch Tuesday sketch and Jen's Color Monday challenge of teal, white, kraft and brown; both challenges plus BVT are from Christian Paper Crafts. Jen's Clean and Simple Challenge this week over at Splitcoast is to use designer paper on your CAS card. I used Basic Grey "Marrakech" since it matched the color challenge plus I wanted to give a sneak peek of this upcoming set. The border was punched with a Martha Stuart Flower Bed border punch.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a blessed day!!!

Snoopy Birthday and ODBD Announcement

Just a quick little post to show a birthday card I made for my nephew, Xavier, using my fave Snoopy and Woodstock image, paired up with metallic paper and the Treadplate embossing folder. The sentiment is from a SU set, Riveting. Other than cutting out the Snoopy image with scissors and an exacto knife, this was an easy card!!! This card is for the Ways to Use It challenge over at Splitcoast, to cut out your image or sentiment!

Just a quick announcement:

Make sure you check out the ODBD blog on Saturday to meet our new CHALLENGE TEAM and participate in their very first blog hop!! Our Daily Bread designs is growing in leaps and bounds, thank the Lord, and Kelley is branching out in a lot of different directions to provide her clients with lot of fun challenges and more chances to win products and stamps from Our Daily Bread designs!

Bible Verse Thursday - Born of Water

Happy Thursday!!! It's time for the Bible Verse Thursday Challenge for Christian Paper Crafts!!! This week's challenge is to use any verse relating to baptism. I chose John 3:5 from the Our Daily Bread designs' set, "Baptism and Confirmation Verses".


I have also incorporated Gloria's Sketch Tuesday challenge and Jen's Color Monday Challenge to use teal, white, and an optional color.....I had to go with banana in order to use some of my fave K & Co "Wild Raspberry" paper and this yellow satin embroidered ribbon by May Arts (which DOES match the card IRL, by the way!)

Other materials used: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Spellbinders Labels Four, Martha Stuart Monarch Butterfly Punch, paper piercer and mat pack by SU, Basic Grey Opaline Pearls, and Irridescent Gold Glimmer Mist to finish.

Stamping in Time Challenge and Featured Stamper

This week's featured stamper over at Splitcoast is a total sweetheart and talented stamper, Anne aka jdmommy! Check out her blog, Inking In Red or her Splitcoast Gallery. Anne is so versatile....she can do silly and funny, but also make the most gorgeous and elegant cards as well! I chose this card because of the fun and simple layout.

This card is also for Betty's "Stamping In Time" challenge, a new bi-weekly challenge on the ODBD blog, to use ODBD sets from the past....each challenge will have a little twist.....the first challenge is to use a verse from Scripture Collection 1 or Scripture Collection 2, an image from another ODBD set if you wish, but the twist is that you have to use word spotlighting.....make certain words of the scripture stand out in a creative way.

The verse I chose from Scripture Collection 1 is Isaiah 12:2.....this is such an empowering verse for me....such an awesome reminder that there is NOTHING to fear and that the Lord has "got my back"! The scene is from the set, "With Deepest Sympathy". I witnessed the most gorgeous sunset I had ever seen on the way to work last week, and have been waiting for a chance to re-create it....well, the best I can! The designer paper is Memory Box "Butterfield" , the pearls are Basic Grey Opaline, and the satin ribbon is from May Arts .

Speaking of the ribbon, stay tuned on Monday on the ODBD blog for a product review on the Bow Easy ! You will never have to worry about lop-eared bows again!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!! Have a blessed week!!!

Organic Grace Inspiration

Happy Saturday, everyone!!! And for all of you football fans, Happy Playoffs!!! I just have to say, "Go Colts!!!!!!!" You know, it's okay if they don't make it to the Superbowl this year.....I'm just so proud to have a team full of guys who are respectful and classy and are led by a man of God, Coach Caldwell!!! Whether they win or lose, I'm a loyal die-hard fan!!!



Today is Case Artist Saturday over at Christian Paper Crafts and JuliaM is our featured artist....congrats, Julia!! I chose this gorgeous card to copy and share. Also, at Splitcoast, the Inspiration Challenge today is to choose an item from Nell Hill's website for inspiration. I loved the Fern Prints and decided to ink up my SU set, Organic Grace, for the first time. The scripture is a "Flair Designs" sticker I got from the ODBD store....it was adhered over a sponged and stamped Nestie circle. The designer paper is a JoAnn's stack I've had for many years....the dragonfly from Organic Grace was stamped directly on the dsp. Everything was sponged with Ranger Antique Linen; added paper piercing and SU ribbon to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! Have a blessed weekend!!
