Magazine Monday Challenge - Week 82

     So glad you stopped in! Today, for the first time I am playing along in the Magazine Monday Challenge (Week 82) over at Papercrafter's Corner.
     I was so inspired by the colors in this magazine cover. This card is a great way to use scraps. I punched these circles out of leftovers from DCWV's Solstice Stack. The sentiment is from TPC Studio.
     There are a few days left to play along with us. Here's a link with all the details for submitting your card. Check out this weeks inspiration photo below.

Bright Shining Star of 2014 Award from Our Daily Bread Designs

     ODBD chose my black and silver Christmas card to feature in their  awards post today.

        I love ODBD and all they stand for. They make it so easy for me to share my faith and love of our Heavenly Father.  I am especially fond of their scripture stamps and dies.

Sketch Challenge ODBDSLC220

          Thanks for stopping in on such a busy few days as we all prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Hope you all are surrounded with friends and loved ones.
     I made this card for the challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This time ODBD gave us a sketch to work with (below).
     I used two die collections from ODBD for my card - Fancy Foliage and the new Asters & Leaves dies. I just got the Aster dies and have been anxious to find some time to play with them. They are as fun as I thought they would be. I'm so happy I got them. And, my favorite die of all time is the vine that comes with the Fancy Foliage dies. For this card I die cut a vine then cut it in half to give some balance to my card.
     The papers are Teresa Collins' Summer Stories 6 x 6. She has really been on my mind with the recent loss of her husband, so I thought I would use her papers for my card.
     Check out all the details here to submit your own card:  http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/odbdslc220-sketch-week-2.html
     May our Lord richly bless you and your families as we soon begin a new year.
