ODBD Scrapbook Challenge (ODBDLYLS11)

We hope many of you have tried your hand at incorporating ODBD stamps into your scrapbook pages.  If you haven’t then why not start by participating in this month’s ODBDLYLS11 color challenge.

I muted the colors and came out with this 12x12 page that features the Faith stamp set:

Instead of using the image from the set as a main embellishment I used it to create my background on the salmon colored cardstock.  I loved the Mother Teresa quote from the set and thought it was very fitting for my page with my wonderful sons!

Something as simple as background stamping can help create a cohesive page so give it a try on your next layout!

This month’s Stamping In Time Challenge

I’m happy to have had the chance to join this month’s SNTODBD48 challenge which was to create anything with a Christmas theme, from cards to gifts.  Once again I played up on just the scripture, Luke 2:14 from the Christmas Verses set, for my card:

I like playing around with my Spellbinders die to see if I can use them in a different way and I loved how the Labels 18 turned out.

I have various types of ribbon and I came across a two-colored one that hasn’t been used often and I thought it was just perfect for the papers from the Basic Grey Jovial pad.

Now it’s your turn!  Join in on the challenge and upload your creation onto the ODBD Blog.  You just may win a gift certificate to the ODBD store!

The gift…

I know Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I’ve been posting Christmas cards, but I can’t help it.  If it was up to me it would be Christmas all year!  Aside from the holiday decorations and fancy dinners we must always remember why we’re celebrating and Romans 6:23 from ODBD’s Gift of God set reflects that:

I chose not to use any image because I wanted the focus to be on the scripture.  Under all the embellishments is a circle die cut using striped designer paper, but after working and reworking my design it somehow got lost under all the popped layers.

If you’re looking to highlight the true meaning of Christmas look no further than Our Daily Bread designs’ Christmas sets!

Look out the window!

With the ODBD custom Spellbinders Window die you CAN look out…or in!.  Two new sets easily allows you to create both!  No more “curtains” to handcut and that’s a relief!!

Here’s my card that looks out through a window using the whimsical Warm Wishes set:

I added acetate to the back of my window pane to make it more realistic just like a snowman!!  Snowmen are real, aren’t they?!  I also sprinkled Polar White Flower Soft for my snow. 

I may be in California, but I’m starting to feel the crisp chill of winter especially after visiting Julian for the first time this past weekend.  Luckily it snowed briefly so hubby and I got to play a little!

If you haven’t snatched up the new ODBD sets and the fabulous custom ODBD Spellbinders Window die…what are you waiting for?  Get them before they’re going…going…gone!

I was giddy when I saw that Kelley came out with this baker-inspired set because I practically reside in my kitchen throughout the holidays.

I had not worked with my tube of Liquid Applique in quite some time and I thought it was just the right touch for the snow-covered pinecones.
